La Burrita

I've been here a couple of times and I really enjoy their veggie burrito #21 and their agua de piña (pineapple juice). They provide chips and salsas. My favorite salsa is the one with habanero bits (orange bits). Staff is also really friendly! And they play Mexican music which is nice. This is a cool spot to grab a quick bite.

This is my favorite burrito in the world.Let me start by saying that I try to travel all over the Mexican world--there is no other name for this geographical region, that spans from East Texas to Northern California to Chiapas. New Spain? I have favorite food items and restaurants in amazing meccas like Mexico City, Santa Fe, Los Angeles, Sonoma. While La Burrita is casual in ambience, the food is stellar.The boiled chicken wins (Take that, Claude Levi-Strauss!). Moist and almost earthy in flavor, it pairs perfectly with the plum pinto beans and the pillowy tortilla (you may need to read my other posts, which are beginning to spell out a burrito typology). But the jalapeno salsa is simply the best I have ever had, rivaled by a mole I once consumed in Oaxaca City. Tart and spicy, the salsa acts as the perfect counterpoint to the warm and welcoming home flavors of the wrap.Other things I like about this place are the ability for the customer to order different sizes of burrito with different levels of decadence and different prices.This is my 30th anniversary of visiting La Burrita...and some of the employees have been working there as long as I have been eating there. Treat yourself.-MPS This is a business owned by a lovely local family whom I have gotten to know.

Staff at this location is very disrespectful. Won't even look at ya while ya order. Guy taking my order decided to have a side conversation with his buddy while I was ordering too. Pretty weird! Food is okay. Go to Taco Bell or the other location on Euclid instead.

Cheese Steak Burrito 5 no rice or beans, grilled onions, sour cream, guacamole, cheesy, flavorful

Once again, we were in search of a Taco Tuesday meal deal and happened upon La Burrita. It seemed to be the overflow spot from the happenin' Mexican place across the street. We ended up here because it was getting late and there was no waiting - so why not??? I will say that this place has by far the best Taco Tuesday deal in town - under $9 for 3 tacos, a soda - AND chips & salsa??? You can't beat that with 3 baseball bats!

Decent spot for quick Mexican food.TIPS:1. They have carne asada fries!2. Order on Snackpass, two locations on Northside and Southside!3. Open pretty late for some late-night munchies (11 pm). 4. Park far away and walk here, as parking gets rough at night.The carne asada fries are good once in a while, but it is super greasy, so it feels unhealthy to eat. The fries are cooked very well, the cheese is overloaded, and the sauce is great. There is no cilantro, pico de Gallo, or onions on the fries so it does get soggy with no crunch. However, it's great once in a while. The salsa is good, though at the bar and it is unlimited which is great. There are seats for places for sit-in and dining.

La Burrita is my go to place for nachos in Berkeley. The workers are always very kind and are fast with your order. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so if you plan on dining in keep that in mind. They are usually busy during lunch hour with construction workers and in the evenings with students. Like I said, this is my go to place for nachos. I have tried a wet burrito once from here and did not like it, so I stick to what they do well: nachos. The nachos are PACKED and they are t skimpy with the cheese! Their tortilla chips are super thin and crispy which I love. The pico always tastes fresh and the guac is flavorful. They have a self serve salsa station. My go-to is the green salsa. It's not very spicy, which I love! I usually order through snackpass which lists that regular nachos come with pico and jalapeños. Im not sure if this is a mistake but they never add those toppings and I always have to ask for them. Sour cream and guac are extra. I usually add my own sour cream at home for this reason. If you're looking for somewhere to get nachos, go here! Can't say the same for the burritos but the nachos and service never disappoint!

My go-to Mexican place at Berkeley. The portion size is pretty big, and I have never been disappointed during my visits. The staff is super friendly, and the food comes out fast. They normally finish my order in the time I'm done packing the different salsas for the free chips they give with every order. It is a little small in the restaurant itself, so I normally take it for to-go. I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've tried here.

Tried my first wet burrito and loved it! They had quick service and a cute back patio area.

Love this place! Really good burritos, wet burritos, and of course, nachos. Their lengua is great, really recommend it!
