I love this place! Not only are the burritos flavorful, but they are HUGE! I particularly like the Salmon burrito Fajita style. My wife likes the Carnitas Fajita style. The owners are wonderful, hard working people who really put their heart into the food they prepare. Thank you, thank you, thank you Best Burritos for keeping my belly full!

Best Burritos - Best Burritos front. - Mexican Near Me - El Cerrito, California

My favorite taqueria. Fresh food. Has teriyaki sauce too for a great salmon burrito. Family run with such great folks.

I came back! This time we had a large teriyaki beef burrito and spicy pork. Both are cooked to order, so I highly recommend. Lots of fresh veggies for toppings. 100% Yums. read more

This place has really nice ppl working here. Good quality and very tasty food! I have been eating burritos from this place for more than 20 year now. read more

This place is definitely under new management the quality of the food is not the same at all I usually order the spicy pork burrito and the spicy pork is heated up in front of you inside a skillet, not now or at least today i initially didn't question it but probably should have. I know Masa is across the street from them now maybe I'll give them a try instead being that the quality of the food is poor read more

Best Burritos - Conditional Pass??? - Mexican Near Me - El Cerrito, California

This place is under new ownership and the food/cook is really yummy, felt like home style Mexican food. Super garlicky beans with a great consistency, fluffy rice, great meats, and fresh pico de gallo with a little spice. Will totally return, have had several really good meals there. Recommend the quesadillas (huge, more like a burrito) anything with rice and beans, and the salmon burrito. read more

Delicious food and awesome service!!!! I come here for lunch during work and it always hits the spot.

good food. big portions. nice family run business. had the burrito was enough for 2 will be back read more

Rude, Rude Owner. Wanted to charge me $2.00 for extra hot sauce. Bad management. For hot sauce, he lost a customer who goes to his place every 2 days! Will never go back. Bad customer service. read more

Yummy burritos for the location. It's a good spot if you're looking to chow down on some relatively good burritos.

Came here as a suggestion from a friend. He swore by their food, so why not?! Super fast, cost efficient. You choose your tortilla, accompaniments, meat etc... you guys know the drill. Everyone there was smiling and seemed to genuinely like their job. That's always a plus. My only gripe is that I wish it was more meat versus tons of rice, or at least equal amount; so you aren't eating tons of rice then fishing for the meat in the background. That's my two cents/preference. read more

This review strictly for the salmon burrito, still the bomb.com! Not only is the burrito made blasting with flavor but the guys who work here are very fast and friendly. How I like it; rice, beans, sour cream, cilantro lettuce, jalapenos, pico de gallo and guacamole*extra charge. This is the only reason I come here for a delicious salmon burrito. read more

Really great Non greasy burrito. I had a steak burrito and all the ingredients are fresh. I can respectfully compare this burrito to el buen sabor in the sf mission (in my opinion). read more

Went in yesterday the nostalgia off it all. I love to get the ground beef it's so flavorful and not salty at all. I love the flavor each item gives you can taste the freshness. The crispy tacos are delicious due to the hand made process. Enjoy read more

Real deal! Spicy chicken burrito is my favorite, as well as the Kimchi burrito! Ugh. So much delicious flavor. Sadly I do have two negative points to share: The nachos use that fake nacho cheeese sauce, which I cannot stand, otherwise the toppings are great but I can't do the cheese sauce. Worse than that -- they used to have the most delicious three mushroom burrito! It was off the charts. Like nothing I've had before. Sadly they change their menu item and now they just use one mushroom; just the button mushrooms and it's really really plain and boring, which is so sad because they had some things so spectacular before. Bring that item back! Love this place nonetheless. read more

Service poor. She would choose to serve a white bodied person before brown bodied person. No eye contact. No inquiry who was first in. Just straight serving the white bodied person. Would never step there again. read more

I got the steak and shrimp burrito $19 once u add guac, make it super, you know the works. The burrito was mediocre.. it had 2 shrimp and 0 steak. I will never be back read more

I never tried this place because I thought the name was so irritatingly dumb. This, it turns out, was a huge error on my part. My stepson mentioned that he had had a bulgogi burrito, and I immediately demanded to know the name, location, and approximate arrival time at said burrito producer. He said "best burritos" and I said "clearly, so what's it called?" and he said "best burritos" and I was all "is there an aural glitch in the matrix?" and he was like "IT IS CALLED BEST BURRITOS" and before that sentence was done, I was out the door like a shot. So the bulgogi burrito (aka the beef teriyaki burrito) is a little "wet" for my liking but it's really scrumptious. There is also a shrimp burrito that's fabulous and a spicy chicken burrito that's nommy nom nom. Beyond that, the menu looks a little sparse, but what the heck else do you need?! read more

Not the best for sure .burrito dry with no flavor . Customer service was horrible . Stood there for 5 minutes waiting to order while three employees acted like I was bothering them or interrupting something .I will take my business else where in the future . read more

Best Burritos - Mexican Near Me - El Cerrito, California

The best burritos in town! All their food is delicious!! And best of all their service is spectacular.

-Large portion size -Taste is ok -Very messy, terrible wrapping job every time -Service is surprisingly slow I wouldn't NOT recommend it, but I can't see myself ever going back. read more

I've been utterly disappointed by this place 3 times in the past 3 months. Wanting to support small, local businesses, I recently purchased several plates of tacos. Simple order. Meat, cilantro, onions, tortilla. Came home and opened the boxes to chewy, slabs of cold meat? And no salsa whatsoever on the tacos! Inedible and disappointing to say the least. Will be going back to the taco truck just down the street from now on, unfortunately. read more

Spicy pork burrito is sooooo good, but it is oily :-( u get some store bought, gringo style tortilla chips with your burrito. Consider adding a side of pico de gallo but just know that this pico can sometimes have a heavy oregano flavor. All in all....it's a little more expensive than the typical burrito joints I'm used to but the burritos have great flavor and are fully loaded. Just don't expect exceptional customer service! Be prepared to wait a long time for a parking spot if coming on the weekends! read more

Best Burritos - Breakfast Burrito w/ ham, hot sauce, jalapeños and pico de gallo - Mexican Near Me - El Cerrito, California

BEST...."of the most excellent"...I don't think so, in fact, they should rename this place Burritos. After I stood there watching one employee washing the robot coupe and another one eating, they decided to wait on me. I don't like to be ignored and it was pretty obvious I was standing there waiting to order, but when someone finally moseyed over to me, I ordered a simple bean and rice burrito. That's what I felt like this particular day and I've never had the most boring, dry, rice and beans in ANY burrito EVER!! If you can't make a decent rice and bean burrito, you won't get my business. How can you screw up rice and beans, you might ask? Well, when you bite into a burrito and it tastes like you're biting into a rubbery tortilla, and nothing else, that's what you'll find at this place. I'm not a fan of places that use those steaming devices to heat up tortillas (which Chipotle also uses). It may be a fast way to heat up a tortilla, but throwing them on a flat top grill is so much better and really doesn't take that long AND the tortilla isn't steamed to death and tastes a whole lot better.You'll find this method used at small, hole in the wall, mom and pop type establishments. Also, rice and beans should NOT cost over $7. at ANY establishment. So, yeah, you guessed right, I will be spending my cash elsewhere, where people acknowledge me standing in front of them, and a small pile of rice and beans tastes like something with at least SOME seasoning and should cost about $4. I can open a can of beans and add rice and have a tastier burrito and I have!! read more

Came here for the first time and I regret it big time. I got 4 tacos de asada with everything. I opened up my to go box and it was the saddest plate of tacos I ever seen in my life. There was NO LIME NO RADDISH NO SAUCE just the meat onion and celery the meat had no flavor to it so it was really dry . I don't recommend it read more

I love this place. It's so consistent and amazing! The people who attended me were really sweet and polite. People were complaining about price point and meat portion, but other restaurants give less meat and are way more expensive. Great spot :) support local and small !! read more

I work in the city and I'm spoiled with the burrito choices throughout the Mission. Anyhow, I was in El Cerrito and stumbled across this little neighborhood gem called Best Burritos. I tried the steak & shrimp burrito and it was frankly one of the best I've ever had. It was packed with incredibly fresh ingredients, generous portions of shrimp with a good ratio of marinated steak balanced with seasoned rice, choice of black or pinto beans, sour cream, cheese, pico de gallo, and fresh made guacamole. I opted for black beans along with all of the accoutrements sans lettuce. I typically don't prefer lettuce in my burritos so be sure to ask for no lettuce if you're like me. However, my sister had lettuce in hers so I took a bite and it was actually quite good. The lettuce added a nice texture and made the entire burrito taste incredibly fresh. I also needed to bring home dinner for the wife so I ordered The "Teriyaki" beef bowl (it's actually Korean bul-goki which is 100 X's better than teriyaki IMHO). The beef was tender, juicy, slightly sweet but balanced perfectly with soy and garlic. She loved the freshly steamed veggies, especially the marinated mushrooms. Tons of umami flavors and super healthy! Best burritos in El Cerrito, along with the entire east bay read more

Great location, great food. They serve items other than burritos (tofu bowls, teriyaki bowls), and serve breakfast burritos all day. Food is fresh and made to order, and staff is friendly- they're glad to accommodate off-menu requests (veggie breakfast burrito, in my case). read more

This place is true to their claim. They really make the best burritos! They're so good. I used to live a block away and I went all the time. The steak and shrimp is soooo good. I miss them. read more

Ok, so you know when a place starts with BEST your kinda like?? Hmmm, really?! Automatically feeling skeptical//pre judging! Not cool of me I know!! But they had breakfast burritos down the street from where we were, so we decided to give them a chance and WoW! This breakfast burrito is up there with mom's and the Fresno family!! My daughter loved her steak burrito!! The burritos were huge...we had to stop ourselves from overeating! Leftovers are the best, especially burritos!! Appeared to be a husband and wife, very pleasant individuals! I would say mom and pop, but they were way to young to say that!! The only thing my daughter didn't like was the sketchy looking people hanging out in the parking lot, but that's almost anywhere you go nowadays!! Oh and I almost forgot...they give you chips!! Good chips too!! Enjoy everyone!! read more

Hole in the wall burrito place, but truly great burritos. They close early, so good place for lunch.

We had dinner from here tonight. Alan had a burrito and I had a carnitas plate. He'd intended to make a chard fritatta for dinner tonight, but it was warm enough that that idea lost its lustre and we looked for other options. We were more in the mood for takeout than going out, so when Alan suggested a carnitas tostada from Best Burritos I was interested. When he got there he discovered they didn't make tostadas, so he called me and I agreed a carnitas plate would be fine. He returned home w/ a gigantic burrito and a compostable container full of carnitas, rice, black beans, salad and a little grated cheese. Four corn tortillas were wrapped in aluminum foil. It was much like a Plato Gordo from Gordo's. The tortillas held up a bit better than Gordo's have been lately. The carnitas was a bit less consistent in texture: fatty and salty in some places, tough and dry in others, succulent in others. I liked the beans, rice and salad. I missed raw onions from Gordo's pico de gallo but I liked the sprigs of cilantro that were included. I'd have it again, although probably not a third time if the carnitas had so much inconsistency. Alan was pleased w/ his burrito. It was a satisfying dinner. read more

My ex bro-in-law and ALL of his friends LOVE these burritos. Well, the chicken teriyaki ones that is. Yep, this is an Asian/Mexican fusion burrito place that is decent, but not great. You are able to get teriyaki bowls, burritos and if you are daring, their nachos which are made with nacho cheese sauce. They do have brown rice, but sometimes it is still crunchy and not cooked all the way through. Other veggies too due to the other menu options. Nice people who work here for sure, but man, if you eat too much, the smell from the burps afterwards will kill anyone in the flats of EC! Small parking lot that houses a Subway, Check Cashing Place, Donut Shop and who knows what else now. read more
