The flautas are small, 4 small ones with the dinner. I asked for beans only and on the side, got beans covered with cheese. I had asked the waitress about the order being wrong. She looked agitated. She went to take my plate away. I said not to bother, I don't trust her to not spit in my food, she looked like she wanted to hurt me. The tostadas is covered with too much iceberg.

I got the chicken tacos and 8oz side of rice and beans. Their menu read confusing, as they didn't have prices on the different meats, and tacos ranged from $2.99-$3.99 so I wasn't even sure how much my tacos would come to. I also thought it was 8oz combined of rice & beans for like $2.99 but I believe it rang up as individual 8oz containers. My total for the plate (3 tacos) & sides came to ~$16 without a tip or drink. The chicken tacos were SO bland. I tried adding more lime, the grilled onions, radishes, both the red and green salsas, and even rice and beans but nothing could rescue the flat flavor of nothingness every time I bit into my tacos. My red salsa that came with my plate was genuinely lame, it had hints of Tabasco sauce? Like they were trying to make it so spicy without any actual depth or flavor. I expected more from this place. I did try my friends steak from his taco and it was a bit more flavorful, so perhaps I got the wrong meat. Their employees were very nice and service wasn't too long, restaurant clean but limited seating! I would only return here to try the California burrito. I can find similar prices and great quality elsewhere.

Unbelievable, beyond disappointing. The corn chips are quite greasy, but crunchy. The guacamole isn't too bad. We asked for jalapeños to add to it, we got pickled jalapeños. I would have thought they would have loads of fresh jalapeños, given the type of cuisine here. The pickled jalapeño gives the guacamole a very different taste to it. Cheese everywhere. Ugh. All over the taquitos and the chicken tostada too. The chicken in the taquitos are hard as jerky. The rest of the chicken in the taquito is super dry. The bean salad is so-so, has overcooked peas in it, corn, bland beans, red pepper, tomatoes. The chicken fajita is okay, a tad dry, there's some tomatillo or salsa verde in the grilled chicken with the red pepper, green peppers and onions. The small pico that comes with the fajita has good heat, from the fresh jalapeños. The quesadillas have a ton of cheese, not a lot of chicken inside, looks like an after thought. Service was ok.

The street tacos I ordered on this trip were very well-made where they have generous portions of meat in both the steak Asada and the El Pastor taco meal I ordered. The taste was a tad on the bland side for me however where some salt and salsa were required to pick up the flavor profile which I am sure is a function of keeping it to a neutral flavor profile to appeal to the masses and letting people season it to their personal taste. The El Pastor in particular, which is a marinated pork taco, had more of a subtle flavor from the marinade that did not jump out at you versus some of the better ones I have had. Having said that, they were still good authentic Mexican street style tacos. Overall, this restaurant is a great option If you are looking for better made Mexican food and are in this area.

I had an amazing experience at Burrito King in Novi, Michigan, and I have to share it. From the moment I walked in, the place felt welcoming and comfortable. It set the tone for everything that followed. First, the food was incredible. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The portions were generous. You could tell they don't cut corners on quality. Each bite was full of flavor, and it's some of the best Mexican-style food I've had in a long time. Whether you opt for a burrito, tacos, or anything else on the menu, you really can't go wrong. What stood out as much as the food was the service. The staff were genuinely kind, patient, and attentive throughout my visit. They ensured everything was right, answered questions without hesitation, and created a positive, friendly environment. It didn't feel rushed or impersonal at all. They actually cared about making sure customers had a great experience. It's rare to find a place that gets both the food and the service so right, but Burrito King does. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows in every part of the experience. I'll definitely be coming back. I'd highly recommend it to anyone in the Novi area looking for a great meal and even better service. It's definitely a spot worth checking out! read more

Mexican food is my favorite comfort food. Burrito King is one of my favorite cheap places to grab some. I have eaten here about 15 times, and each time, the service is pleasant, the food is tasty, and better yet, it's 4.75$ for the lunch special. I usually get hard shell tacos with carnitas and whole beans. The beans are wonderful! The pork is occasionally fatty, which I like, but most of my lunch buddies don't, so be wary if chunks of fat gross you out. This is one of my go to places when I forget to bring my lunch to work or need a caloric pick me up. read more

We ordered online using their website, though it took longer to be prepped than I would have imagined, so you might want to factor that in if you're ordering pick up too. The interior has a few small tables if you'd like to eat inside the restaurant, but it's certainly designed to be more of a take out experience. Still, the employees were friendly and the space was well maintained and clean. The food itself falls under the fresh and good, but faint praise is the best I have for it. The tacos were hot and definitely made fresh, but they were also sort of a messy disaster to eat. Lots of filling piled on (with jalapenos seemingly scattered all over the container just because) made for a mess of flavors that confirmed, 'Yes, it was cooked just for you, but no, I don't know what's happening'. Good enough, but not a very satisfying experience. We'll no doubt return out of convenience, but if we're willing to exert a smidge more effort, there are stronger Mexican tacos with their own personality to be found.
