First visit--and definitely not the last! We're so glad we gave this Mexican spot a try. The food was delicious, and the service was warm and welcoming. If you're craving authentic Mexican flavors at great prices, this no-frills, family-run restaurant is the place to go. The owner was very friendly and shared that she took over about six months ago but kept the same menu, staff, and cozy atmosphere. She also mentioned they recently added a breakfast burrito that's become a hit--perfect for a quick brunch while running errands. The dessert options looked amazing, though we didn't try them this time. What we ordered: * I had the caldo de res soup, served with five small tortillas, dried chilies, fresh cilantro, and onions. The broth was flavorful, and the meat was tender--such a comforting dish for a chilly day. * My husband went for the Rancheros burrito (steak and jalapeños) topped with queso sauce. It came out piping hot, and he loved it! The jalapeños had a marinated kick that added extra depth. * We also tried two jalapeño and cheese tamales. Portions were generous, and we even saved one tamale and the tortillas for another small meal at home. We noticed several other guests ordering menudo, so that's definitely on our list for next time! read more

Not a fancy place, but it's been around a long time. The food is absolutely freshly made and the taste is wonderful. I generally stick with the burritos and have never, ever been let down. Service is quick and efficient. read more

Really affordable little Mexican joint. I've been told it's one of the most authentic places in town. Portion sizes are very generous. We got burritos ahogado, which are served on sizzling skillets. Don't expect the fanciest decor, and service is all counter, but if you're looking for a lot of good food at rock bottom prices this is it. They also have a full bakery with loads of sweet treats. Solid choice! read more

The service provided by this restaurant was exceptional and the food was not short from it either. We requested a very last-minute catering service, and they delivered to perfection. I will definitely be using their services again read more

I am super disappointed with the dinner that I ordered from El super burrito. It took over an hour and a half to get my food when I called the restaurant expressing my concerns they blamed it on the Uber driver. The food was cold. The shrimp are tiny and rubbery. I never complain but this was a joke. I paid $20 for this meal. When I asked to speak to the manager she said I cannot because he cannot speak English. This will be the very last time that I ever ever patronize this restaurant. Please do not waste your money go to los compadres on 33rd and Cedar Rapids much better food and service. Please do not waste your money and be disappointed like I was. read more

Awesome food! Their tres letche was delicioso and the queso blanco was killer. And the best part? Fresh filled churros. 9/10

Authentic Mexican cuisine and neat ambience. Do try Ahogado Burrito, Pazole Soup, and their Tacos.

Chicken fajitas were just o.k. Carne Asada was almost inedible , steak was chewy and fatty.

When you roll up to a restaurant 20 minutes before closing, it's not unusual to be told the kitchen's already closed. Not at Super Burrito, though! The staff were super helpful and very kind. We had their chicken tacos--soft corn tacos with fresh, homemade salsa and the best guac in town. Will definitely be back. read more

I stopped in last night and not only are the prices reasonable but the food and service are excellent. I will definitely be back! read more

El Super Burrito & Lupita's - Bombero burrito - Mexican Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Some of the best authentic Mexican food in the Cedar Rapids area. I especially enjoy their steak tacos. Everything else I've ever tried was great as well. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would . This is the second time I've eaten here only because the first time we ordered super burritos and they were dry, flavorless and 75% rice . We figured "they must be known for tacos" since their burritos are garbage. The second time we ordered 8 tacos, steak, chicken, shrimp, al pastor and chorizo. The chicken and steak had absolutely no seasoning, the al pastor and chorizo were ok, and the shrimp...oh...dear god, WHAT ARE YOU SERVING TO PEOPLE?!!! The shrimp taco is 3 tiny, overcooked shrimp on a bed of rice as a pathetic attempt to conceal that there are almost no shrimp in this overpriced taco . But the real crime is the sauce !! The smear what tastes like Mayo/tartar sauce on the tortilla . On top of that they dump pico de Gallo on every taco instead of traditional onion, cilantro and a lime on the side. YOU ARE NOT AUTHENTIC !!!! You guys a disgrace to your heritage . You are giving Mexican food a bad name and you know it . I have never thrown out food before in my life . Please start marketing yourself as the cheap, Americanized fast food restaurant that you are. How can you sleep at night ?? read more

Absolutely amazing. I go here all the time it is please never misses the mark. Usually once a week

We love El Super Burrito. It's become a weekly thing! My favorite is the naked burrito.

Wonderful little spot to stop on for some tasty food! the staff was courteous and it was only a short wait for my to go order. I'll definitely be back! read more

This has been a favorite eating establishment in my family for years. The food is always fast, fresh, and hot. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is very clean. Having lived in Southern California for several years, I can attest to the authenticity of the Mexican cuisine. My picky 4 year old daughter even approves. She won't eat typical toddler food, but she lights up when she finds out we're eating here. She devours the beef tacos, rice, beans, and chips/salsa (all of which she won't eat from anywhere else). I asked her what her favorite part was and she said, "All of it! It's the best food I ever eated!" read more

I love El Super Burrito and Lupitas! Yummy, fresh food in a casual and friendly place. Not fancy, but delicious! Love the tamales, fish tacos, salsas, egg dishes... etc! Also try the baked goods. Cookies and tres leches cake, yum! read more

After time after time of mediocre Mexican food in Iowa, I was thrilled to find a genuinely good local spot. I had a ahogado chorizo burrito, which came out literally sizzling as was delicious. Spicy, meaty, with a great heat:flavor ratio. They offer some rarer options, like lengua, that are absolutely delightful. I didn't get a chance to try the in-house bakery, but they had a variety of American and Mexican staples. Everything looked delicious, so I'll definitely bring a bigger appetite next time! read more

He about five months ago never did a review cause I wanted to be fair about it I ordered the special it was with rice when I was about halfway through I noticed there was a black piece of rice and upon further inspection it was a mouse turd. Will never eat there again thank you. read more

love the food it's soo good I've tried everything I definitely recommend eating here dine in is an option

El Super Burrito and Lupita (husband & wife) are in the same building right off of Johnson Ave across from Guppy's/BP. A hidden gem for the most authentic Mexican bakery and food in CR. Whenever I'm getting food from El Super, I make sure to allows get some Lupita treats like churros, flan and wedding cake. She bakes fresh everyday and always have a wide variety to pick and choose from the case. Everything is inexpensive and worth a try for bakery items south of the boarder. read more

My latest favorite menu item are the Tortas (sandwich) see photo. You order it with your choice of meat, (I got lengua, that means steak, right?) and topped with shredded lettuce, peppers and guacamole on a lightly grilled homemade bun. It is outstanding! Their guacamole is the best I've had anywhere, not much heat but always very fresh. ESB is also home to Lupita's bakery. Which is basically a small self-serve case with great pastries, cookies, churros and other Mexican delights. You can special order other items like birthday cakes. read more

El Super Burrito & Lupita's - Torta - El sandwich muy delicioso! - Mexican Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I went to Lupita's Bakery just for some "Tres Leches" cake. Theirs was kind of dryer than normal and not as good. The person I spoke to inside didn't even know what I was saying when I asked for it, so I had to get it out of the case myself to show her. The bakery is along with "El Super Burrito" restaurant. read more

Consistently good food! Stopped in for lunch. Thought about the Fajita Salad. Got the mini burrito and enjoyed it thoroughly. In and out quickly made for the perfect stop! read more

My fiancé and I recently moved to Cedar Rapids and love finding great Mexican food! We spent a lot of time in the Quad Cities and they had really good food there but now that's too far of a drive. Someone mentioned if I like quad cities Mexican food, to try Super Burrito. So we got the enchilada platter with beef, chicken and steak and then we also got the super burrito platter. OMG! Great choice! The burrito was amazing and the red hot sauce that came with it was jaw dropping! Perfect amount of heat to it! We also ordered one chorizo taco and that was some of the best chorizo I have had! What a great recommendation! 9/10! The cheese dip was a bit runny and not a lot of flavor but everything else was 10/10! I will definitely be back for round 2! read more

Best Mexican in town. Reminds me of the street food I'd get in Puerto Vallarta. I recommend the chorizo.

Excellent bang for your buck. I haven't ventured far from their famous burritos and tacos but everything I've seen looks delicious and im probably gonna try nachos on my next visit. Authentic and fast, this is definitely one of my favorite Mexican places in town. The attached bakery is a little hidden gem as well. read more

Excellent Mexican food. Great sauces for the tacos. Their tamales are delicious. Plates come out hot and sizzling. Excellent selection of meat choices. Always seems a little on the warm inside when I'm eating, in the summer. read more

Don't overthink it. Keep in my mind the name and order the burrito. The ahogado or bombero variety in particular.

El Super Burrito is one of those no frills hole in the wall joints. The food is good, but kinda boring. Like most authentic ethnic cuisines, its not the Americanized bastardization of Mexican food we've all come to expect in this country. And that can be good or bad, depending on what you're looking for. Don't come here hoping for the food you'd find at Chipotle, Qdoba, or Carlos O'Kellys. The service is pretty much nonexistent. I don't expect too much from a place where you order at the counter off a menu written on a white board, but a smile and pleasant demeanor would be nice. They bring your food to your table when it's ready, set it down, and walk away. The 'dining room' could use a little attention too. The set up is odd and it's not as clean as it could be. El Super Burrito is Ok, just that, just Ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there, I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone. On the other hand, it's not a bad choice if you're nearby and looking for a no perks meal. read more

This is my favorite little mexican restaurant in Cedar Rapids. As some one else said, the tacos are exceptional. Recently the dining room expanded making it a little more comfortable for eating in. And now they serve beer too. You can order a three taco dinner platter for about six bucks and the choices for tacos are great. I usually order one beef, one chorizo, and one pork. I love the seasoning and the flavors of the tacos and the cilantro adds just the right kick. read more

This is a great place to go the food is wonderful and fresh they also have a bakery that has fresh and Latino bakery products it is great I will always go here when I visit read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant there is in Cedar Rapids. Burrito Ahogado is the best way to go. Fill it with the alambre or the man anything is good in there. They make some damn fine food here. The lengua is about the only place to get any decent lengua in Iowa. The churros are great. the Tres Leches is good. Can't beat the price either. The only part of the authentic Mexican food is Montezuma's revenge. read more

If you're hungry for authentic Mexican food in Iowa--this is your place. From the tortas to the flan, everything is tasty and satisfying. The service is top notch--the owner works the register and she's always ready for friendly conversation. And if you have a celebration coming up, you might want to order a tres leches cake and wow your guests. It's a traditional Mexican cake with 3 types of milk for that amazing burst of flavor. When you eat here--your tummy will me full and your heart happy. read more

This is the Ahogado Chorizo Burrito. El Super Burrito is a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that is definitely a hidden gem! My husband and I LOVED it! They were so fast, friendly and the food was delicious. We will most definitely be trying their baked goods on our next visit! read more
