El Burrito Junior

The staff is great but way too much rice in the super deluxe burritos. Salsas are great and I will try again just no rice this time.

For over 25 years I've been eating at this small local Mexican restaurant. In the 90s it used to be owned by two brothers and offered excellent food and excellent service. While I don't live in the south bay area any longer I do visit a few times a year and make sure to stop here. This last time I have to say that I was disappointed in the taste of the food. It was not what I remembered it to be. Prices have also increased considerable. Service was still good.

This is a little gem in Lomita. The place might not look the best & small in the inside if you wish to eat inside but the food is Pretty good. I always go for their Two chicken Tacos with rice and beans & their Jr Burrito with Ground Beef or Carne asada(this time around it was a bit chewy) but I'd go for the ground beef instead or other protein they have. The amount of Tostadas & Salsa they give is very generous and I will never have a problem with that cause I LOVE chips and salsa. Their salsa is very fresh and has a tiny kick but keeps you coming back for more. Just a TIP: they ONLY take Cash!! There is plenty of parking in the little shopping center they are located at. The staff here are very hard working and Nice & get your food out to you pretty Fast don't forget to TIP them for their hard work I always do. Overall Experience here is always good. Sometimes the places that don't look the best have the best food. This is one of those Hole in the wall joints! If you are in Lomita check em out!

I used to come here in high school and loved it....today was the first time in years that I've been and what i got was a dry microwaved burrito. Also ordered albóndiga soup and it was canned tomato based soup and mushy canned veggies with undercooked and under seasoned meat. Ordered other things too for my family and I felt bad that not one of them enjoyed their food. My gosh I was so surprised and felt completely robbed. Haven't had terrible food like this in a long time. If you want great tasting authentic Mexican food with fresh ingredients please do not go here!!! Negative zero stars. Please give me my $90 dollars back.

The quality of food at the Lomita location has changed considerably. At first I thought, "maybe it's me, I haven't been here in a while" but after everyone I dined there with had the same reaction. The service is great, but what good is that if you're insulted by the product? The vendor for the sauce on the wet burritos have been either terminated or the cooks are no longer the same. I know due to inflation, higher costs are hitting the consumers but why are the establishments cutting corners also. We pay a higher price to experience good eating, yet we are ending up with mediocre meals. Please go back to the old recipes and quit cutting corners.

Always fantastic food. Authentic Mexican food and generous portions. The waitress was very attentive, and the food was.

Me and my family use to frequent here during the week on Tuesdays and the weekend and the food had not changed actually. But the service went down hill fast and it's usually with the one server. She's ans old lady who's been serving there for years. She use to be very nice but something just snapped and she changed. She's totally unfriendly now and was always getting are orders wrong. And overcharging us on certain items. We said no mas! They say you vote with your dollar and we shall never come back. It was very sad to see the restaurant change all because of that one lady.Just to confirm we bumped into one of the other severs that use to work there at the restaurant and even he said oh yea she's a very rude lady, so much so he had to leave the toxic work environment. He's a server at another Mexican restaurant.

Prices have drastically increased, but with today's prices, it makes sense. With that being said, we had the super deluxe asada burritos and we have zero complaints. The burritos are huge, filled with lots of meat, rice and beans. They even added a lot of chips and salsa to our to go order. Definitely going back.

I used to love this place. It was a place I could go o for quick and yummy Mexican food. I used to love their bean and cheese burritos. I recently stopped by after a day of errands and wanted a quick trustworthy meal. Well, not meal but a couple of munch items I got the bean and cheese burrito and a carne asada sope. I want to say it was about 7:30om. It was NOT delicious. The bean and cheese burrito tasted sour like the beans were spoiled. The carne asada sope tasted like it was sitting on the counter for hours. The meat was dry and the sope base was stale. Most places will deep fry the thing so you get it piping hot and crispy. This was chewier than 5 day old sourdough bread. If I had false teeth, they would have flown out. They have several locations. I probably won't go to this one again....

Whenever I'm in the Southbay...LBJ is a must! However, I do prefer the Redondo Beach location on PCH...same menu items and all but for some reason the food here doesn't taste as good and not as flavorful.The Lomita location has an outdoor window and indoor area that you can order and dine at. CASH only!The large tostada style tortilla chips and their salsa is always a hit with my family though! Buy a large order and you'll get a huge paper bag full.3.5 stars for nostalgia but if given options...I'm going to the other location for sure. Wish it was more consistent here!
