    Nachos
    Anne F.

    Daughter walked to this place as we live across. Nachos were stale. Very Disappointing.

    Menu and interior
    Kris G.

    Great service Decent prices I definitely will have to give this another try. It may have been my choices that lead to my experience. I got the California burrito with carne asada. There was so much meat which is normally a good thing, but for me it was too much. Also wish it wasn't just cheese fries and steak. Essentials yes but I was hoping for a better balance of flavors.

    Burrito Express has been around for a long time, even back when I was a new High School student (which was 6 years ago). This is the food joint that is so conveniently located directly next to the high school that everyone was aware of. If anyone was in the mood for delicious Mexican Food, "Burrito Express" are the first two words to come to mind. Long story short, everything here is good. From the tortillas down to the Enchiladas which are my all-time favorites. A small but simple location produces tasty Mexican food that no one could get tired of.

    Cross section of the California burrito with carnitas
    Daniel M.

    I drove down to Milpitas from the East Bay last weekend and decided to make a stop here while taking care of my other business due to hearing that this was one of the better burritos in the area and it's never a bad idea to support local businesses. The place was small but it didn't really need to be huge. There were no customers when I went so I was able to quickly order my food. I wanted to try more than one burrito so I got the California burrito with carnitas and the chorizo con papas. The wait for the food was longer than most taquerias I've gone to but I've personally never been too much of a stickler for a rushed service. Other than the relatively long wait, the customer service was spot on. The burritos were a good size for the relatively low price I paid. They were about the size of burritos I would get in the San Francisco Mission District (yes, I've been told that burritos in the San Jose area are better but I've never eaten one so I can't make a fair comparison to that). The California burrito was kind of underwhelming. While I understand that French fries are a staple of California burritos, I felt like the burrito I got was mostly fries and little else. The carnitas were also quite dry. I'm not a picky eater so I ate it anyway but the California burrito fell well below my expectations. On the other hand, the chorizo con papas burrito I had was delicious and surpassed my expectations. If I had to make a comparison, I would compare it to the breakfast burrito at San Francisco's El Farolito except with potatoes instead of salsa and avocado. Not gourmet but by far the better of the two burritos I bought. If I was a Milpitas local, I would happily come here every week for that burrito. However, since I'm an hour's drive away, it's unlikely I would ever again go out of my way to come here again unless I happen to already be in the area.

    Chimichanga Plate
    Global Foodie Y.

    Absolutely delicious Mexican place which is authentic and affordable. Their portion sizes are generous and the best part is that 3 meats are halal - Chicken, Steak and beef. The owner is really friendly and the place was clean. Service was quick and efficient. Really liked the steak chimichanga which was a bunch of beans, meat, fresh tomato, lettuce, sour cream, shredded cheese and sauce wrapped in a crispy dough wrap. You can order it with rice and beans or fries - they are very accommodating and are willing to adjust according to your taste. We also liked the chicken burrito which had cheese and fries and a sauce in it, a bit milder but you can get hot sauce on the side if you want. They have Mexican coke which goes very well with the food. I can tell this is a local favourite - the number of people trickling in and asking for their usual seemed to demonstrate that the food is good and the place has been around for a bit. Wishing them the very best and hope their business continues to do well!

    The guy I'm talking about who wasn't wearing a mask, possibly stealing and swearing left and right.

Their food is flavorful and delish. Their portion size is very good. The chips area also really good, as-is their two salsas. The chips area nice and crunchy and they will refill them if you ask. The two salsas compliment each other well. One is a Pico de Gallo, which has the right amount of spice to it. The other is tomsto sauced and fairly spicy. Our friend enjoyed a Small Combo #4 (Tamales, Salad, Rice and Beans). My wife had a Small Combo #6 (Chicken Burrito, Salad, Rice and Beans). I enjoyed a Chicken Chimichanga with Salad, Rice and Beans. They aren't shy with the amount of food they give you. I always end-up taking my leftovers home to enjoy later.

My husband had mentioned concerns about the service before, but I hadn't personally noticed any issues until today. In the past, I usually visited with my Mexican family. This time, I came with my husband, who is not Mexican, and I noticed that our server seemed to overlook him unless he was actively placing an order. The most surprising moment was when she removed his plate before he had finished eating. That really caught me off guard and left us feeling awkward. I hope this was an isolated incident because the food has always been enjoyable.

[[ Location ]] It's kind of tucked away in a plaza and I even turned into the wrong entrance to get there. I chose the entrance after the Wells Fargo which is not the right one but luckily all the plaza's are interconnected so I could just drive over there. Make sure you turn in at the entrance with the Dunkin and you will be fine. Tons of parking so that will not be an issue including 1 hour parking right in front the restaraunt. [[ Food ]] Good goly the food is so good here. Not only does the food taste good but around $3.89 for a well portioned regular taco is a steal.
