I love good Mexican food, and this place has all of the offerings at a really great price. Among my favorites are the El Pastor Tacos and Sopes. I have tried a lot of different dishes here and really have enjoyed all of them! The portion sizes are very nice, tacos are generous with meats and toppings, and they will add cheese if that's your thing. Definitely give them a try if you have not already! I can't imagine anyone not liking them, especially if you like real authentic Mexican food! read more

Gets the job done! Great Horchata--to soothe the spice. Wish there were more choices around here. read more

Been coming here for 5+ years as it's walking distance. It has literally been good every single time. Reasonably priced and just fresh and tasty. Love these guys. read more

Delicious steak tacos! I've been here so many times since I've moved t Homewood and it's a real treat every time. I bring all my friends there and they love it. It's my go-to taco joint now! read more

Like the food, the quality of service has gone down considerably. At its peak, this place deserved three to four stars for the burritos. The rest of the food was ok, but the beans and rice seemed like they came out of a microwave dinner. The burritos now are smaller and filled with filler instead of meat. The prices have gone up but the food quality has gone down. And the service is awful. It's like the employees just don't care. Check your food before you leave because both times I've been there since the pandemic started they've messed something up. With so many better options nearby, skip this place and check out literally any of the handful of other places nearby that would love your business. read more

Today me and my girlfriend went and im usually a regular here. Today however she bit into her taco and felt a hard substance, she spit it onto her plate and to our shock it was a piece of GLASS. We were outraged and showed the lady at the registered she brought the glass back to the cook apologized and never brought the glass back. Terrible that eating at a restaurant almost cost my girlfriend her life. read more

I don't know why this place has such bad reviews! Yes, the dining room is very old fashioned and a little dive-y. But the food is great! It is very authentic! The burritos are giant, and I usually take half home. If you like Chipotle, well, this is the type of place that inspired Chipotle. Only better and more authentic. read more

Awesome food!! Great service!! A little hole in the wall neighborhood restaurant. Authentic Mexican food

Looks nice walking in then the lady taking the order looked as if she was just released from prison. Ordered a chicken/steak burrito with with cheese, lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, and beans. Started eating about 25 percent of the burrito and no sour cream. Ask the lady and the cook told me he did put it on. So I open up the burrito and their is one little speckle of sour cream. Did bother proving them wrong. Food was ok nothing special. Services could have been better. read more

I have visit the restaurant around 10 times now and have enjoyed it every time. I am not sure what other are talking about, my food what not dripping with grease, the produce used (lettuce, cilantro, tomato, etc) was fresh. The steak in my tacos were tender and delicious, the flautas were nice and crispy, the service was kind. I have to say I have completely enjoyed myself every time. Sure it's not Mexican cuisine, but for the location and price, it's satisfying. And lets be honest, Taco Bell has nothing on them. read more

Very nice quiet authentic Mexican joint. They are underrated in my opinion, they're always empty. The staff is friendly and the prices are good. I believe the location is what kills it, it can be easily missed. read more

First and last time at Burrito Express. My daughter is a burrito fiend, with her hands down favorite being Whatta Taco in Country Club Hills. We have gone for burritos all over the city, south, north, and west side and the suburbs too...none have been so awful as to make me write a review. In all fairness, the rice and beans were good. The steak burrito tasted precooked and had an off-flavor as if it had been almost burnt. My daughter kept insisting it wasn't steak...it was, just a poor quality. The place also has an off smell, and the horchata was the worst I've ever experienced. read more

Fresh food fast. Basic Mexican--tacos, burritos, enchiladas, tortas. I've enjoyed everything I've had there. No frills but table service and quick carry out! read more

I don't know where to begin. There was hair in my food and when I called. I asked to speak to the manager and she mentioned The manager is only there in mornings that's fine. No apology what so ever about the situation. The lady who answers gave another worker the phone who barely spoke English and said I can bring food back. I asked the lady who took orders what her name was she said " I don't give my name out" that's a little odd. You work in a place of business and you choose to be rude and not apologetic. She mention the managers name is "Verda or Berta" don't know how true that is. This is a sad situation bc honestly the reason I give it 1 star I ate here allllll the time and the food is actually good sometimes. But honestly with everyone being on edge with sanitary purposes because of COVID they lacked in customer service. I will NOT be going back. Especially when I just tried to call again to see what time the manager gets in and I get no answer. So I'm assuming they have caller ID. Truly sad! read more

I've been twice and both times the food was just ok. I'm a Mexican food junkie (I eat tacos at least 2x a week)and personally I wouldn't recommend this place. The meat (I got steak both times) was bland and flavorless. read more

Worst food ever! Had A chicken burrito and a chicken enchilada dinner. The chicken in both was terrible. The flavors were bland. I do not recommend this place‼ read more

To say this place is greasy would be an understatement. Located right next to the Homewood Police and Fire Stations, this is a place where you can get some cheap food (if you can call if food). Don't expect authentic Mexican. Very cheap but before diving into your wallet, ask yourself if you really want to subject your body to this food. read more

Placed an order to go, ready in minutes. Steak and al Pastor quesadillas were so good! Awesome customer service!

I'm Truly Glad I found a mouth watering Taco Joint (Burrito Express) 179th Dixie HighwayI was able to enjoy I love the tender Steak tacos & Steak Burrito I didn't think I would find another Gr8 tasting taco since I've moved from the City the dining was clean & The Employees were Polite that's an A for me Pass the Word#Polite read more

Nothing fancy here, just fresh, home-cooked Mexican fare for a low price. Service is fast and friendly, and the food is always delicious. The tacos and burritos are great, and my vegetarian daughter lives the cheese enchiladas and quesadillas. Kids like the array of Mexican sodas that come in flavors like Mango and Tamarind. Their horchata is also excellent. Decor is bare-bones, but all in all a great place for fresh, cheap and tasty authentic Mexican food. read more

This establishment was recommended to me by a colleague. Unfortunately, it wasn't a good experience. The cashier had poor customer service. The food came out quick but once presented there came a disappointment. It reflected a kids meal at adult prices. The meal lacked flavor. I know this business has been there for years so it definitely has a following. I wasn't impressed and I wouldn't recommend my friends and clients. read more

The department I'm in @ BAS, in homewood, HAD what was called Taco Wednesday. This started in October 2016. I would be the one to not only place the orders,but pick the orders up also. The minimum number of orders were 5, with the max being as high as 12. The slender young lady that works behind the counter has taken down orders wrong a few other times, other than today. She's charged us for items that cost extra, only to get back to my work place and ppl find it missing. Today, when I brought to her attention that onions were place on tacos the were ordered without onions, she asked me where the food was ( a fair question). I began to explain that it was only 1 of the 4 and my co-worker has just discovered it as I was leaving to pick up a SECOND ORDER. What's really bothering me is, this woman insinuated that I was attempting to obtain FREE FOOD, with her continuously stating that "i have to see the food". I'm defensively telling her that "I'm not trying to get something free. Every Wednesday I'm here and this is only the second time since I've been coming that I mentioned an order being wrong". When I mention that she may lose our business on Wednesday and she responded with "Oh well okay". As a consumer that promotes Burrito Express, to my co-workers and upper Management here @ BAS. I wanted to snatch her up and beat her ass. Reviews may speak on how good your food is, of which I can't take away from that. But because I work in the service industry. Your Business is to serve also. I refuse to be treated less that the WORTHY CUSTOMER that I am. I've never came and gave you a shitty attitude, even with the language barrier and my having to repeat myself several times ,when she takes my order. I am sooooooo MAD still. But I PROMISE, EVERY CHANCE I GET I WILL BAD MOUTH BURRITO EXPRESS. AS YOU SAID "OH WELL OK" OUR LITTLE $55-$77 DOLLARS WON'T BE MISSED BECAUSE WE WON'T PATRONIZE YOUR BUSINESS. AND I WILL BECOME ONE OF THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT OF HOW POOR YOUR SERVICE HAS BEEN TO US. read more

I dont like them anymore because there food used to be greater than it is now. They used to have carnita tacos. After they got rid of them I stopped going. read more

This is by far my favorite place to buy Mexican food as well as the friendliness I received from the workers it is always tasty and not bland and the aura in their building is just amazing as the people are respectful towards you read more

So I frequent get Mexican food from Burrito Express at least twice a week if not more. Tonight I ordered a veggie Taco cilantro onion sour cream and a cheese enchilada. I received a veggie Taco with lettuce rice and beans and a small slice of avocado my cheese enchilada was filled with pork!!!! Lost my appetite as soon as I took a bite of the enchilada I don't eat pork!!+ immediately threw my food away I called to complain thinking they were going to make me a new order or give me my money back the lady told me to bring my food in to prove that it was wrong in order to get a new order I let her know I threw my food away she told me there's no refund and they cannot make my food again since I didn't have the food to prove it!!! I still have the veggie Taco but who wants to leave their house after working an 8 hour shift getting food coming home taking your shoes and coat off and laying in the bed..... I think I would have been okay if the lady was not so rude you messed my food up I should be the one mad!!! This is definitely not the first time they messed up my order but I was still in route and went back to exchange it. Definitely not buying food from them again they lost a loyal customer. read more

Affordable, fast, and a friendly staff. Their steak tacos and burritos are great! My favorite local Mexican restaurant.

All of the food here is not too great, except for their actual burritos. The staff is only decent. All in all, it's barely passing as an average food place. Wouldn't recommend it. read more

Really really good authentic tacos, Prices are good too. Love the quesadillas also. I come here about twice a month for take out, sometimes more. about as good a taco or burrito as I have had. read more

I grew up in Santa Cruz, CA and have had a lot of authentic Mexican food- this place is the closest I've gotten to that taste since moving here 8 years ago. Greasy, a little, but it's Mexican food, not health food :) The chicken burrito's are super tasty, and the guac is delicious. You don't go to Burrito Express for the ambiance, but for the taste and convenience to pick it up, take it home, and catch up on your favorite tv shows or movies. read more

Don't pay any mind to the low-star reviews. This place is great, authentic no-frills mexican FAST food. As good as you could hope to find on the southside outside of Pilsen. Steak Burrito consistently great. The employees are friendly and it's cheap. read more

Fast, good and inexpensive. Generous portions. And they have lamb! YUM - I always have the lamb burrito dinner! Usually bring dinner home to eat, but not always. read more

I question the quality of the food at this place, it would seem at Burrito express you go in and pay for canned beef tacos, and grease soaked burritos. The employees are moderately friendly but you can tell they honestly don't want to go through the trouble of cooking for you. But if you are looking for cheap quick bite then you might consider stopping in. read more

ive only been here once, but the steak torta was pretty good, and the chicken burrito was ok. im usually suspect about a mexican place that is so upfront on their menu concerning burgers and fries....but the salsa was super. it sound strange, but their beans are the best! read more

Have gone to this place multiple times and had numerous problems. To start off I had ordered chorizo tacos and gotten home and the tacos were inedible. They tasted like the meat was raw, disgusting! Then decided to give this place another chance only to find that what I ordered they didn't have that day. The final straw was going back today to find that again they did not have want I wanted to order! Needless to say I won't be going back! read more

If you live near HF, this is the place to stop for your burritos cravings. Quick, quality, and always filling.

Decent Mexican food, but they've raised prices on some items without making the new prices visible. You just have to take their word that what you've ordered is subject to the higher price. read more

Great beans and rice including the most wonderful workers I've ever ordered with.

We ordered a beef burrito suizo dinner, a taco and two jalapenos. When we got home, we discovered that we only received the burrito but no beans and rice which makes it a dinner. I called them and let them know of their error. Their response was to stop by the next time I was in the area and they would give me the beans and rice or give me the difference in cash. Well, on that note, they lost a customer. Do they know the cost of a gallon of gas nowadays? Oh and that was after they told me my bill was $21. When I questioned it, it then became $12. Hmmmm .... not going back! read more
