This was honestly one of the worst burrito experiences I've had in Southern California, and that's saying a lot considering how many great Mexican spots we have here. I ordered two shrimp burritos and two steak burritos and specifically called ahead to make sure the steak was fire-grilled, not the rubbery, boiled type of meat some places use. The employee assured me it was fire grilled "steak" That turned out to be completely false. Shrimp burritos: Good luck finding the shrimp. Mine was basically a tortilla full of spicy rice, bell peppers, and onions. I kept digging through it wondering where the shrimp were. Steak burritos: Even worse. The steak was exactly what I asked them NOT to give me; chewy, gummy, low-quality beef that was nearly impossible to chew. Definitely not fire-grilled steak. It tasted like the cheapest meat they could find. To make things worse, the burritos were overloaded with spicy rice and peppers, while the actual protein probably made up 20% of the filling at best. Instead of quality ingredients I got a tortilla stuffed with rice and a few scraps of meat. I wouldn't even serve this to dogs. Extremely disappointing and absolute waste of $60

Super fire very flavorful not spicey but very delicious! Clean inside very small and great service

Hard shell beef taco

This small, family-owned spot serves up seriously satisfying Mexican comfort food that hits the spot without trying too hard. I ordered a chicken enchilada, a chile relleno, and a hard shell ground beef taco--and every bite felt like home. The chicken enchilada was tender, cheesy, and smothered in rich red sauce that soaked perfectly into the tortilla. The chile relleno was the standout: stuffed, cheesy, and swimming in sauce, it was indulgent in the best way. And the taco? Crispy shell, seasoned beef, fresh lettuce, and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese--simple, classic, and totally satisfying. The portions were generous, and you can tell this food doesn't come from a freezer--it's made the way it's supposed to be. If you're looking for real-deal Mexican food made with love and full flavor, Pronto's is it.

epic tostada salad

Simple bacon and eggs and wheat toast, inexpensive tasty and satisfying every time thanks, Pontos and that's just breakfast when I go there for lunch I get the shrimp fajita burrito. You can also get it with chicken or steak. You can also upgrade the shrimp to jumbo extra large shrimp totally worth it. I also have them add refried beans to the burrito is a bomb, literally a homewrecker. They also have ice cold beer and a small patio area that is dog friendly awesome family run business San Pedro style.

Tasteless shredded chicken burrito with beans and rice .
Alexis L.

I don't know what went wrong? I ordered one crunchy chicken taco, chicken enchilada combo plate and a shredded marinated chicken burrito. So I ate the taco first to run the risk of it getting soggy from the doordash delivery. It was okay. Now the burrito.... so it was combined with beans and rice . Everything was mushed together and there was NO taste/flavor with the chicken. The beans had absolutely no flavor and the rice, well it was just rice. Almost $65 wasted on tasteless entrees. My wife's enchiladas were bland and covered with alot of sauce and cheese. But even that couldn't help the meal. I will have to seek another nearby restaurant that provides authentic, quality taste mexican food next time around. I wish Prontos could have been better.

Albondigas 1 cup for to go
Chelsea C.

The food is good. It has taste and is clearly fresh made. The "crispy tacos" are not crispy. They are grilled fried, not deep fried so there is NO crisp. The marinated chicken has very little taste. They put veggies in their rice, I am not a fan. The albondigas soup I paid almost $8 for, was a one cup portion with no broth, 3 meatballs and lots of rice. It was the tastiest thing I ordered but $8 for no actual soup?

El padrino Burrito wasn't good at all had no flavor The steak or asada was horrible.. That's all I ate
Jimmy R.

The steak was so unflavorable.. actually the whole burrito wasn't good at all .. it looked really good , only ate about half of this burrito and I was out.. cute little restaurant.. but that was about it

Best Mexican food in San Pedro

Anyone know if they have vegan options?? do their beans/ rice have any lard or beef/chicken broth?? and what about the potato or veggie tacos?

Vegan options not so much, I would recommend a Chuys Veggie Burrito with no rice and no cheese, that leaves you with : Black beans, Grilled veggies, fresh Guacamole and chipotle sauce.

This is a great place to go get your Barria tacos, absolutely delicious! . Try the papa's tacos,…read moreit's potato inside and then it's got the fixings all around so good so so good it's deep-fried.

The menu was also difficult to read because many of the prices had faded badly -- they really need to go over the board with a Sharpie so first-time customers can actually see the prices clearly. I ordered the birria plate. The portion of meat was very generous -- probably at least half a pound -- and it came with a few standard tortillas, a small bag of chopped onion, cilantro, plus three lemon wedges. It also included a small side of refried beans with cheese on top, which was unremarkable, and some mushy Mexican rice that could have been much better. The meat itself was definitely the best part of the meal. It also came with a small container of consommé, but it was only lukewarm even though I had driven just 10 minutes away, so the food overall could have been hotter. There was only one hot sauce included, and I didn't care for it at all. I also missed the usual fresh radish slices and the standard red or green salsa options that many birria places provide. The food was packaged nicely, but overall I was expecting better for the price. It came to above $18, which felt overpriced for the quality, especially considering there's no dine-in option. While there was enough meat for two people, I personally would have preferred slightly smaller portions with better overall quality and sides. I've definitely had better birria elsewhere, which is why I'm giving this rating.

I finally swung by Chori-Man after hearing everyone rave about their house-made chorizo, and…read morehonestly, the hype is real. I'm a bit of a chilaquiles snob, but these are easily some of the best I've had in town. The chips actually held their crunch even with all that sauce, which is a rare find. I got mine with their maple habanero chorizo--the perfect balance of sweet and kick. It's a small, local spot, but the flavor they're pushing out of that kitchen is massive. The Breakdown: * Quality: You can tell the chorizo is artisan. It doesn't have that greasy, heavy feeling of the mass-produced stuff. * The Sauce: Perfectly seasoned. Not too salty, just purely flavorful. * Service: Super chill and friendly. It feels like a neighborhood staple because it is. Pro-Tip: Parking can be a bit of a hunt right there on 9th, so just be prepared to walk a block. Also, grab a pound of the loose chorizo to take home for breakfast the next day--you'll thank yourself later.

Food: I ordered the breakfast burrito with three eggs and…read morespicy sausage. The burrito was quite flavorful but could have used a little more salt and pepper. After adding some ketchup, it was amazing! The sausage had a spicy kick, which I really enjoyed. Service: The staff was friendly and helpful, making it easy to choose from the options available. Atmosphere: This spot offers convenient pull-up service with a few outdoor seating options, making it a casual and easy stop for breakfast. Price: My meal cost $17, which is about average for Los Angeles. Overall: I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!
