El Burrito Jr

If I could give zero stars I would. Food was terrible. Service wasn't great. We got our food to go, we were a mile away and this is the crispy taco we ordered...I also asked if our salsa was in the bag and the lady who helped us said yes ofcourse .... Zero salsa....

I've come here lots of times in last few years. Always a good experience. Parking easy, rarely a wait to be seated, everyone above and beyond friendly. The food presentation was excellent. Today I had the two tacos with shredded beef combo which was very tasty and served at the temperature. Much appreciated and no complaints from me.

I've come here on numerous occasions. The food is solid and generous in proportion. They have several sit-down tables inside, and I like that the location is close to Little Company of Mary Hospital, easy walking distance. If you are hungry for Mexican food, this place will do the trick.

El Burrito Jr. is a small chain. This is our first time going and we won't be back, but if you are somewhat in a hurry and want fast typical Mexican food they have that.Parking is easy in the large lot they are in, sort of hidden in a corner, but you will see the sign. The place is pretty clean. The service is no more than average.We went in and there was no one to seat us, someone finally said to sit where we wanted. We had a booth and it was clean and comfortable.They brought chips which were stale and they were really just whole fried corn chips, likely out of a bag. We did not eat them and my grandson loves chips.We ordered and told the server we had a concert to get to so we could order now. She said she would be right back, but we had to flag her down. We ordered and the food was nothing more than average. The soft meat taco was fine. The beans with cheese was very good. The rice was dry and no one ate it. The cheese enchiladas were fine, something you might get in the frozen food section of any market. The food was brought hot. There was nothing at all great about any of it.The prices are a tad high for what you get. The guacamole, by the way was tasty, but the portion was small. We asked for a check a few times and finally had to get up and go to the cashier for our server to notice us. She never checked on us once.They do take out and delivery.

The good:We got seated right away and had a spacious table. I tried the burrito deluxe and #14 (carne asada, guacamole, red rice, Pico de gallo, tortilla). The tortilla came nice and hot. We got free refills if the chips and salsa. The Jamaica was sweet and tasty. I liked the authentic Mexican feel inside with decorative items like sombreros, wooden donkey statue, clay vases and the Mexican flag. The meat in the burrito was very tender. It was a wet style burrito which made the burrito really easy to eat with just a fork and no knife (much like an enchilada). The bad:There's no outdoor seating that I saw. The servers forgot to give us menus, utensils and napkins. It took awhile for our credit card to be picked up. There's no baby changing table. I would've liked for the salsa to be spicier and for there to be more elements of acid in the food (pickled peppers, lime, or heat). The interesting:The tortilla chips in the free appetizer were like tostadas rather than smaller triangular chips. The second batch we got were slightly warm while the first was room temperature. The second batch had chewier splotches.

Fast service, open kitchen, clean, classic ambiance, large portions, fair pricing. Excellent taco Tuesday specials. Full sized very filling tacos. I've cold drinks. Been to all 3 South Bay locations and can say the same about all.

I had an Asada burrito which was mushy inside almost like a puree, and if I closed my eyes I'd think I was eating dog food. Our server was somewhat impatient when we weren't ready to order, and overall just not very friendly. Chips and salsa were good. Definitely won't be trying it again, especially for those prices.

So I normally love El Burrito Jr - their PCH location is amazing and this is their sit down fancier location. I ordered food to go today and it was good EXCEPT it's such a pet peeve of mine when I get a bean and cheese burrito and the cheese isn't melted all the way. Also, I really hate when I get a bean and cheese burrito and there is random stuff in it - like just 1 piece of lettuce, one piece of tomato, etc. Like Obviously something fell into my bean and cheese burrito while they were making it which is just kinda a yucky surprise when you take a bite and taste something random in your food...The other thing I don't like about this location is that they don't have street tacos (you know with the cilantro and onions) - they just have the other tacos with cheese and lettuce and tomatoes which are fine but I prefer street tacos. I think maybe they just had a bad day today so I'm willing to give them another try. I'd give them 1 star today but in the past they were 4 stars so I'm rounding up and we'll see how it is the next time I come back....

El burrito Junior is the best Mexican food in the south bay, I've had almost every item on the menu and all of it has been great highly recommend

Got shredded beef deluxe burrito and fajitas. No flavor at all and beef was so hard. Not what they used to be. Not coming back anymore.
