I ordered the chicken taquitos and Don had two Carnitas flour tacos. The chicken taquitos were good, but the Carnitas in the tacos were the best we've ever had. They were moist and delicious and had a slight crisp to them. The sauce was a bit spicy that they came with, which was fine for Don, but I'd have to have them leave it off for me. We will definitely return to have those Carnitas again.

Once seated it took a few for our drink orders to be taken. Our food order arrived fairly quickly to our table why was good because we were hungry after a days hike. But I was also questioning the fact that we were served so fast with there being a good handful of customers seated as well. Overall the portions were good. No leftovers taken. They seem to offer specials that are posted at entrance. Pretty decent parking as it is shared with a shopping center. They do have a decent sized many so there should be something for everyone. If you prefer slick salsa I would ask for it to be spicy as their salsa is more of a pico style mainly of tomato flavor and not much of a "kick" to it. You can get a decent meal here

No judgement. Ordered a crispy chicken taco and chili relleno combo. Started with garlic soup. Everything was great! The owners are just the cutest older couple. They were sweeping up and cleaning tables as I walked by... I said I felt like I was home as I passed. I was able to seat myself and since I was a party of one I chose the small table in the front window. I felt like I was at home on my porch back home. Watching cars, unwinding. I was watching the locals go by minding my own business sipping on a Modelo. I ate some dinner after a long day at work while traveling out of town. I asked for them to wait to drop my food and I was in no hurry. I was watching the tables to make sure I wasn't taking business. I enjoyed my evening as best as possible since I couldn't be home with my Boyfriend and kiddo. I had read the reviews and asked for the hot sauce and a little bit of each on a chip was delicious and perfect for this Guera. I asked for a side of the mole sauce. I smothered my chicken taco with that mole sauce and I'm telling you the flavors of all their sauces and their food was perfect. The Hispanic family I grew up across from growing up ... when I would walk in that would ask me growing up Quieres comida Guera? Loved it! That's the only thing missing! Them words. A cute funny story is one of their regulars as they were leaving. The owner approached them to say goodbye and the little one that they were carrying, he spoke to them about her meal. He spoke to the child. It was the sweetest thing to watch he said "I have a new customer" because the baby tried guacamole mama reported I'll be back

I tried both the garlic soup and the tortilla soup, and the tortilla soup absolutely stole the show. If you're only getting one soup, make it that one. I also had the chile relleno, and it was really good. The egg batter was fluffy, light, and wrapped around the chile perfectly. The rice was a little bland on its own, but once you mixed it with the beans and sauce, everything came together nicely. We also ordered the milanesa empanizada and added grilled onions on top, which was definitely the right move. The service deserves its own shout-out. Everyone was so friendly, checked on us often, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. Between the food, the hospitality, and the cozy atmosphere, it honestly felt like eating at a family member's house. I'll definitely be back

Review for Burrito Express. Probably 4 1/2 stars, as I've only tried the super burrito (al pastor) and it wasn't the "best" but it was pretty darn good and I enjoyed it. Great prices ($7.50 for a huge burrito), good quality, and lots of salsa options that I like. I would say overall quality was about what you'd find at a taco truck (I think it's the same owners at the taco truck nearby) . Not very greasy from what I could tell, which is good. Friendly and fast service too, so they get my approval and regular business! read more

Now we're talking! This is some pretty decent Mexican, not the best ever, but definitely some of the best in this area! I think I have ordered about everything on the menu and it is all good, I really appreciate the masa they use in their tamales, the texture is just right (like Mom used to make). read more

There's an extensive menu so it took awhile to decide. I ordered a wet carnitas super burrito and my husband order the same, only with carne asada. We were given 2 baskets of chips and we got 3 of their salsas from the salsa bar before finding seats. The chips were good and each of the salsas we tried were very good - mild, medium, and one with a little spice, but not too hot. My favorite was the green one. Yum. The food came out pretty quick and the burritos were HUGE. I mean enough for 2 meals huge. The Carnitas was excellent. You know how they can sometimes be salty? Well, these were not. It was perfectly seasoned and very tasty. The burrito was Jam-packed with rice and beans. It could have used a bit more meat, but still a very good choice and I would definitely order it again. My husband was very happy with his Carne Asada burrito. I tried the asada and it was also very good. The price is very reasonable and we will definitely be returning. Each of us brought home about 2/3 of our burrito so we'll be eating these again tomorrow! I would highly recommend.

The burrito is big, and had good flavor but for me it was way too spicy. I had ordered two, one for me and my husband. We both couldn't eat it. Ended up throwing 3/4 of it away. I wish they had an option for less spicy. Not everyone can eat spicy food whether it's for health reasons or they just don't like spicy foods.
