Burritos Lalo

On a Sunday morning during my stay at Flying Flags in Buellton, I woke up craving some good menudo…read more With four Mexican restaurants surrounding the resort, I had a few options to choose from. After looking through photos and reviews, I decided to give Burrito Lalo a try. It was only about 1.4 miles away, right off McMurray. I ordered the menudo to-go and decided to go without "pata" (pig's feet), along with a bottled Coke. My order was ready in about 5 minutes, which was impressive. The young lady who helped me was friendly and packed everything nicely in a cardboard box, including all the fixings and a bag of chips. I have to admit, the menudo was very good! The broth tasted clean, flavorful, and delicious. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is that I would have preferred a little more hominy to balance everything out. There were also plenty of large chunks of tripe. Depending on how you like your menudo, that could be a positive or negative. Personally, I prefer my tripe cut into smaller pieces. Overall, I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend Burrito Lalo to anyone looking for a good bowl of menudo in Buellton. My only advice is to make sure you tell them exactly how you like your menudo, especially the size and amount of tripe and hominy. That part was my mistake for not asking. Either way, the menudo was delicious, and I would definitely give Burrito Lalo another try the next time I'm in the area!

It was getting late. We were driving down from the Bay Area. It had already been a long day, and…read morethere was still almost an hour and a half to get home. We stopped at this JITB to get something light to eat, and to use the restroom. We were hoping that the dining room would still be open, as it was getting to the time of night when only drive-thru lanes are available. We lucked out. I think we had about 20 minutes to spare before they would lock the doors to the interior. Despite that, the cashier was friendly and didn't make us feel rushed. Dear Hubby ordered the mini tacos, and he was happy. I don't recall what I ordered, and my photo folder reveals that I didn't take any pictures from which to refresh my memory. I do recall that this location met our needs that night. The dining room was very clean, in fact we had to be careful where we stepped as they had just mopped the floor. All told, we would stop here again if we just needed a quick snack or meal.

I got the fajitas plate. The steak was a bit tough and dry. I probably would pick something else if I visited again. Cocktail was OK, it was a little "desabrido", which in Spanish translates to bland or a little tasteless. It needed a little kick or more sweetness. Ambiance itself was great, as was the service. Very personable, warm, and friendly. Based on that alone, I would recommend trying it out. Perhaps I just did not find my dish as tasty and satisfying as I would have liked.

It was a beautiful, hot and sunny day, so we decided to sit outside and enjoy the weather. We ordered the shrimp taco plate, chicken taco salad, classic burrito, and some additional shrimp tacos that unfortunately didn't make it into the pictures. We were welcomed with fresh chips and had the opportunity to try as many salads as we wanted from the salsa bar. I also enjoyed a nice, cold Corona while we waited for our food, which was perfect on such a warm day. When our food arrived, everything was fresh, hot, and cooked to perfection. Everyone in my family enjoyed their meals, and there were absolutely no complaints. We were all full and satisfied when we finished, but instead of rushing out, we simply sat around and enjoyed the moment together. That's what makes a family meal even better. Our server, Ms. Gutierrez, provided excellent service. She was friendly, attentive, and consistently checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was very busy, but the service remained great. The restaurant was also clean, welcoming, and had a great atmosphere. And the prices were very reasonable! Our bill for four people, including food and drinks, came in at under $85, which I thought was a great value. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Rudy's. Great food, great service, reasonable prices, and most importantly, a great time with my family. I would definitely come back again the next time we're in Buellton. Thank you, Rudy's, for a great experience! We'll be back!

I'm not much of a beer person, but the place itself is huge and has a really nice open layout. It seems like a fun spot to grab beers with a group of friends. There's also plenty of parking in the lot, plus street parking nearby. I called around 7:30 p.m. to order the ahi wonton tacos and was told they would take about 15 minutes. When I arrived, they were more backed up than expected, so I had to wait past the expected time. The employee did let me know that they had suddenly gotten busy, but I wish the original estimate had been a little more accurate. The tacos were actually really good! The ahi tasted fresh, and I liked the crunch from the wonton shells. It came with five tacos, which was a good amount, but the portions were a little uneven. Four were generously filled, while the last one only had about three pieces of tuna. I included a photo because the difference was pretty noticeable. My only other issue was that they forgot to include napkins. These are messy finger foods, and since I ate them in my car, I ended up with dirty hands and nothing to wipe them with. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would order the ahi tacos again. Just make sure to check your takeout bag for napkins before leaving! I also noticed after leaving that the avocado listed with the tacos was completely missing from my order. The tacos still tasted good, but they weren't prepared exactly as described on the menu.

I had the misfortune of visiting McDonald's recently and it was an absolute nIghtmare. The wait times were extremely long (i want more than 45minutes, and still did gt my foods), and the servers were completely unorganized and rude. I understand that it's a busy place, but I've never experienced such terrible service before. It was a complete waste of my time and money. I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

I would give this zero stars but that's not an option. I've been here multiple times and after multiple wrong drive through orders I would like to suggest everyone avoid this dingy location and hit up Taco Bell instead.
