El Norteno de las Cruces

Im pretty pickey. Not going to lie. The carnitas burrito, was damn good in my opinion. Its your basic mexican traditional food. We have visited twice and have enjoyed good food mid pandemic, of course. Im supprised to see small shops like this still surviving with few customers, that being said im sure its remained open because the food is good. On the next go around well venture to the more exotic of the dishes. friendly staff and and its nice to go to a place where its quiet, thats a plus. Keep up the good work !The burritos i might add where huge, no skimp there.

Food was ok. Burritos kinda pricey. But what I didn't like was them telling me the total price and charging more on my card. No explanation. I didn't notice until the next day. That the receipt had the price they said but my on bank account it was more. And I went thru the drive thru. Weird that they took their own tip without mentioning it.

Food Not So Good: Late Pandemic review. This is a casual restaurant where you order at the counter. I found it roomy and clean. The young man working the front counter was friendly and efficient. The menu is fairly broad...essentially traditional Mexican dishes. The prices are the norm, I sampled the carne adobada burrito which was fairly large, filled with small chunks of meat, cilantro, avocado, onions, and pico de gallo. The meat was ok but could have been a bit juicier. The flavor was not the best. This was just an average burrito....ok but nothing special. The real disappointment was the carne asada burrito which seemed to be two day old meat that had been re-cooked a couple of times. It was dry, burnt, and flavorless. Actually, I was afraid to eat much of it and threw most of it away. I can see no real reason to return. Rate the overall dining experience about Two-and-Three-Quarter stars.....for below average. Rate the asada burrito about a "D"......for failure. (Oh....the nice photo of the interior of the restaurant found on their web site is not of this restaurant. This is a converted fast food chicken place. The photo is really misleading.)
