El Burrito Express

The value menu is so delicious with portions being a good size for the price. We got the tostada, 2 enchiladas and a nacho from the value menu. We were stuffed and had quite a few leftovers. The service was quick and the food was made delicious to order. The staff was courteous and there were plenty of utensils and napkins. Plenty of seating and a great spot to help satisfy cravings.

3.5 stars. Comfy spot with window-side tables that make for good people watching on Divisadero Street. The Taco Salad was smaller than I thought it would be, but was filling enough, especially when paired with the tasty free chips and green salsa. The taco salad shell was OK. Friendly service. Complimentary water and paper cups. Clean single-stall bathroom in the back.

I had been coming to EBX since they opened 30+ years ago. They are walking distance from my house. Very convenient. The food has been consistently excellent. The service has been consistently not great. I used to visit EBX once a week, sometimes twice a week for as long as they have been opened. I guess you would call me a long time customer. I pretty much ordered the same thing for myself and my family and the food was always good. Unfortunately, I would say 2 out of 4 times they would get my order wrong. A lot of times I wouldn't notice the order was incorrect or something was missing until I got home. I would have to walk back and let them know the order was wrong. I was always pleasant , even though this was a regular occurrence.About a year ago. I did my usual weekly visit. I got home and my burrito was missing . I called them and let them know. No apologies just "oh, you can come back and pick it up". I just got home and didn't want to walk back and wait for my order that should have been done correctly the first time. I just said forget it and can I get a refund. (No refund as of yet) It has been over a year and I haven't been back since and don't plan to. It's not worth the aggravation. I'm really bummed because I really like the food and EBX was my family's weekly go to for good take out food. I know this is an issue with other families in the neighborhood that go to EBX. The same thing. Foods great but, they can never get my order right. So, I know it's not just me.Also , the one employee that's usually at the register taking orders is so unpleasant. She's been there for years. Never smiles. Like I said I have been coming to EBX for 30+ years. Never a "hi" . I always feel like I'm inconveniencing her. I always say "hi" to her and she barely looks up and acknowledges me as a customer. She always seems like she doesn't want to be there, Like I said , I will take my business elsewhere where at least my business is appreciated.I have been going to Cumaica coffee shop for about the same time as I was going to EBX. They know my name and always, always get my order correct and are SUPER friendly.For other long time customers. Please take a moment and make sure orders are correct and you at least greet all of customers.

I had another appointment at UCSF this morning so decided to drop in El Burrito Express at 11;45 am. The lunch crowd was steadily coming in. There were only a few tables open for dine in.My first time trying El Burrito Express and I liked that they had a lot of options on the menu.I ordered the El Burrito large with carnitas. The carnitas were mushy and not crispy at all. This was a bit disappointing. They blended in with the refried beans texture.Sad that only the green salsa was available. But the chips were light and made in house. A lot of seating but during prime lunch hour it gets busy it seems. Can order online

Pretty solid burrito spot in lower pac heights! I was craving a cali burrito and usually hit up El Farolito or Underdogs but I wanted to try something different.I ordered El NorCal burrito which had some perfectly charred carne asada, onion, fries, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, pico, and salsa. The burrito was a pretty decent size (almost two servings if I wasn't super hungry.) The flavors balanced each other out nicely and the burrito wasn't dry, which can happen in some cali-style burritos because of the fries. Their chips and salsa were also bomb--fresh, thick, and crunchy--but not super oily (I wish I grabbed more before I left). As for the restaurant itself, the interior was clean, there was good seating, and the staff were pretty friendly. There is also lots of street parking. I will definitely be back to try other options!

Excellent burrito spot. Food was ready very quickly and everything was hot and fresh. We tried the norcal burrito which was great and the shredded chicken wet burrito which was sort of like an enchilada in that it was covered (smothered) in sauce. It was different but really good, I would probably opt for the carne asada in the wet burrito next time but that's just personal preference, both were tasty! There is some seating inside, none outside. I appreciated that they had self serve water because I hate when I have to keep asking or run out while enjoying a burrito.

Came here on a Friday night and it wasn't busy at all. We were served immediately and the food was so good! We got chips and guac and I got a carne asada wet burrito. It was so filling and delicious; it was only $15 and could definitely feed me for 2-3 meals. The chips and guac was a fantastic deal as well; they gave us a huge tub of guac and chips for only $6.50! This is definitely a stable burrito place for Lower Pac Heights and I'll definitely be here again :)

I want to give this location more stars but I cannot. I love EBX but I've had issues with this location before.. A manager has reached out and rectified the situation, treating me to a fix and letting me know it will not happen again. I am very appreciative of their kindness..I chalked it up to staff maybe having a bad day, no big deal, took down any negative review. But then tried the same order two more times at this same location and received it wrong, again, twice. I regularly frequent the ebx on taraval and they never get my order wrong. If you're looking for solid Mexican food, I recommend the drive over to the sunset. The best burrito in the city.

went here before a concert at the Fillmore! It was so cute inside, a nice chill vibe to sit and chat with my friend while having a nice meal! The service was amazing, the woman at the front knew exactly what I wanted before I did, from an extra plate to some good salsa! The food was pretty good, i definitely go back!

Cheese enchiladas and carne asada burrito/taquitos are delicious! It was really nice to get extra salsa verde and salsa roja, which went perfectly with my cheese quesadilla. The taquitos are also really good and affordable. The service is fast and friendly, and the inside of the restaurant has nice paintings and a clean bathroom.
