Burrito King

I could make this a very short review by writing "This is the best burrito I have ever had in my entire life." But then I wouldn't be able to mention how friendly the service was, how tasty the salsas were, and everything else that I loved about this place.My first visit here, and everything about this experience was perfect. My sever was very friendly, and she brought out a basket of warm, fresh chips and two kinds of salsa as soon as I sat down.Both of the salsas were fresh and delicious. One was mild and the other had some heat.I ordered the vegetarian burrito "wet" and it was HUGE. Not just big enough to share for two people but honestly it would have fed a family of four. The cheese that topped my burrito was warm and melty, and the burrito was stuffed full of veggies, cheese and beans.The sides of rice and beans were very flavorful.I took 3/4 of this meal home in a box, will be great to take to work for lunch tomorrow.The menu is extensive and they serve breakfast anytime.Looking forward to returning the next time I am in the area to try more menu items.

I loved dining at this place. The Mexican music reminded me of my grandparents who used to listen to this music all the time and the Mexican program that was also on the tv brought a smile to my face. The staff was super friendly. The food was delicious and super filling I ordered the toastada dinner (just like grandma used to make) and I also ordered 1 flauta. Everything was sooo good and freshly made. Service was super fast and the portions were very filling the tostadas would have been enough but I love flautas so I had to try them too. I wanted to try everything on the menu. I was sooooo full when I left.

I've been to this place a few times, and honestly, it's among my favorite Mexican food I've had! Unfortunately, inconsistent, often subpar service keeps it from getting 5 stars, especially if you come in a group. During my last visit, our orders and bills were all mixed up when I went with friends (7 of us total). Service in general leaves much to be desired in terms of accuracy (they are definitely friendly there and are happy to provide recommendations).Their complimentary tortilla chips are fresh and warm, coming with two different salsas: mild and hot. I thought the mild had more complexity in flavor.The horchata drink we got was cool and refreshing with a delicious cinnamon flavor.I order my tacos American style (lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream) here since I'm in the chunk of the population for which cilantro tastes like soap.- Cabesa (beef head): my least favorite. Had a very intense beef flavor that was too strong, and also chewy from all the cartilage - Birria (marinated beef and goat): the server recommended fried (whole taco is fried in the meat juices) and it was hands down the best I've had here (even though there were cilantro and onions - I picked those off). The meat was so tender, juicy, and flavorful- Lomo (marinated pork): very juicy and fall-apart tender, like carnitas but they use pork loin instead of shoulder so it's not nearly as fatty. - Tinga de pollo (shredded chicken with vegetables): the chicken breast was not at all dry - it was seasoned well. - Lengua (steamed beef tongue): not chewy and rubbery like you would think. It was tender and flavorful. We did have an issue here of them adding additional charges that were not listed on the menu or verbally conveyed to us at the time of ordering. While the menu says lengua tacos cost an additional 50 cents for a la carte tacos, they charged my brother an additional $2 or $2.50, which he wouldn't have ordered if he knew that. Additionally, there was a charge to fry my birria taco (which they didn't charge the first time, and nowhere on the menu does it mention an additional charge). People need to be able to rely on menu pricing when they order, or at least be told about any changes at the time of ordering.That aside, the food is excellent and I would just recommend you make sure everything is right with your order, especially if you come in a larger group.

During the pandemic, Yelp has been my go-to to discover eateries beyond my neighborhood. While Burrito King is in Novi, it is outside where I typically drive so I would have missed this Mexican restaurant without fellow Yelpers sharing their dining tips. It was doing a brisk take-out business early in the evening; the restaurant was also open for dine-in. I was in the mood for enchiladas and impressed with the choices available: shredded chicken, beef, and cheese in a number of sauces: rancheros, tomatillo, roja, and mole. I selected the tasty beef enchiladas, topped with tomatillo sauce and cheese. They were served with refried beans and rice. I was intrigued by the 7 Mares soup, a spicy tomato-based broth with clams, crabs, shrimp, scallops, and a variety of veggies. I decided to try it, despite the high price, and I am so glad I did not miss out. The savory soup was so large that it came in two take-out containers. It is one of the many soups offered here - I need to return to try some of the others. I must also return to sample their parrilla, whole fried tilapia, and tortas. The menu here is large and impressive. The tres leches cake was light and covered in a luxurious amount of light whipped cream. I liked it so much that I ate the entire piece in one sitting. The owner taking the order was friendly and hard-working. I appreciate how efficiently he worked.

First rate Mexican food, here! I had their food at a wedding reception a few years ago, and it was phenomenal, so we were excited to try it at the source today. I'm not a nachos person, really, but theirs were fantastic. You can get them with your choice of any of the 12 or so meat options. We chose pastor (pork), and it had a perfect bit of char on it, like when it's sliced off the big spit at an outdoor fair. The nachos had sliced pickled jalapeños, carrot, & onion, and were loaded with a lot of great fixings that all together were magnificent, and the cheese was white and fresh tasting. Maybe it was queso fresco? We also really liked the mild salsa, which was super fresh. The pastor was so good I ordered tacos al pastor for my entree, too, and they were spot on delicious! The corn tortillas were cooked perfectly (a bit toasty), too. I'm not really a rice/beans person, but these were typical. Next time I might just get tacos. The menu is extensive. They were serving menudo on a Sunday, and it looked good. Others dining with us got a shrimp dish and a big burrito, and both got raves. Kid's meal enchilada looked delicious. It came with fries, and my daughter was loving them hard. They were super crisp and really good when I tried one.The menu has a lot of options, including a yummy assortment of aquas frescos and bottled Mexican choices. The pineapple was good! I want to try the chilli relleno and the Mexican shrimp cocktail, of which I am a huge fan, when we go back, because we certainly WILL be back. Decor has a lot of fun flavor with banners & murals. Our service was excellent... We got plenty of refills and plates taken away, and every server was super nice when we arrived. Great atmosphere! Spanish is spoken here, but so is English. Looks like a solid takeout choice, as well.

They started off strong with some excellent chips and salsa. They have hot & mild salsa. The salsas were fresh, seasoned perfectly, and addictive. We tried an al a cart birria taco, and I wish I would have gotten 3 of those. I came here for the 7 mares soup. In hindsight it was a poor choice. From their menu, they feature some really unique and delicious looking soup. Unfortunately, the version I had was 2/5 if you were to judge based upon the soup alone. The seafood was overcooked. The shrimp barely held together and turned to mush. The fish was rubbery.

This place has really authentic Mexican food! I had been craving a burrito for a long time and was in dire need of one, and this place came up when I searched on Yelp (not surprising given the name of the restaurant) and decided to give it a try. Parking: this restaurant is located in a shopping center which has a lot of parking so parking shouldn't be an issue. Staff: staff was about their business, were helpful, and accommodating. Food: I'm from Cali and there are so many great Mexican restaurants to choose from there, and this place was definitely comparable to the places back home. I got the vegetarian burrito (because it had all the veggies I wanted) and added chicken to it, which was super yummy. The veggies were sautéed perfectly and the chicken was flavored really well. This burrito was also really big, which is always a plus and this dish came with a side of beans and rice as well. Also, you may have to ask for a side of salsa as I'm not sure they provide it otherwise. The restaurant itself was busy on a Thursday evening which was so nice to see! 10/10 recommend!

Have been going to burrito king for YEARS! it is one of my favorite taco places in this area. That being said I got the flauta for a change and it was so crispy and delicious!! Highly recommend! I also got the birria taco but it was just alright. It kind of felt a little soggy? Al pastor is solid as always!! My new favorite might be the flauta though!!

Reopened at long last, and the food is as good as ever! While burritos are in their name, the authentic tacos are my favorite. They have a wide choice of meats, plus some grilled veggie (cactus!) options. The tacos al pastor were particularly good; somehow crispy and moist at the same time. Refried beans could have been a little hotter, but tasted great. Chips are lightly salted and very fresh. Salsa is really the best I've had at a sit-down Mexican restaurant.

Most amazing whole beans around. Their food is well seasoned, fast and hot. I like authentic Mexican food and that they are very good.
