This was my first time getting a breakfast burrito at Burrito King and I was not disappointed! My bf & I got a chorizo & a bacon burrito to split and they were both sooo tasty! Good sized burritos for the price! Service was great I called the order in it was ready when we got there and the young lady was very sweet & helpful. We will be back to try other options. read more

I ordered food from here a burrito bowl not even 10 minutes after eating it my stomach started cramping really bad, I had a weird feeling about the food when I started eating it but I kept eating, I honestly regret eating it i don't know if they cooked food that wasn't good but I don't recommend it. read more

Excellent service, if I can give 100 stars I would. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating, what I love about this restaurant that if it's not on menu but they have the ingredients, they will make it for you. The restaurant is a bit small, however, they have a banquet room a few doors for the extra space . I will 100 percent recommend this restaurant to anyone I know . read more

Is great tasty food outstanding customer service large portions mild and hot sauces homemade tortillas Looking to dine outside you got it here yeah love the atmosphere read more

Burrito King - Flowers - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

Perfect for lunch! The burritos are good. The tortas should include avocado instead of lettuce and more mayonnaise. Their other food items look delicious but I have tried. read more

We had a wonderful breakfast at the burrito king restaurant and the food was plentiful and delicious, the staff was so friendly and welcoming, this restaurant is small but it is a place you have to try read more

I really like this place in old town Salinas! It's a small little place, with great menudo and chilaquiles. These have been the two things I've had from here. Service was not that slow. It was okay. But it's a very small place that when it's packed you can't really sit after to digest your food. read more

Was looking for a new spot for good food. thought I'd try here. BIG MISTAKE! not only did the food smell foul and inedible there was was also hair in it. I couldn't stand to be rude to the waitress as it's not her fault so I just paid and left. I will tell everyone about this disgusting experience. Be weary of trying this place. read more

My mom introduced me to this place, really like it i feel like the food is a good Mexican kind. Theres places I've gone where the Mexican food just isn't it. My partner really likes the Pablo special. You get a good amount of food for what you pay. It is a bit small but i feel like it's worth going to try it out. I've only gone about twice but both times the service was really good. read more

If you want REAL, authentic delicious Mexican! This is the place:) Hand made corn tortillas, food is always made fresh and the taste is yummy! I'm not big on meet but when I do have some tacos or burritos, this is the place:) They also have veggie/vegan options. Im such a picky eater but they made my dish just the way I wanted, thank you. Will remind you of moms cooking! If mamma cocks delicious Mexican :) I waited a bit for my food because it was made fresh, I don't mind when I wanna eat delicious! Staff is super nice, fast. You can call to pre-order and pick up. They also cater, my co-workers loved it! I saw the low reviews, compared place to Super Taqueria, not even close but if you like pre heated, store bought tortillas, fast food vibe, that's it. read more

Food was good when I went at lunch time. I wouldn't have eaten here if I noticed the flag they have hanging when you enter the restaurant. Not going again. read more

My first time eating here but knew exactly what I wanted the chilaquiles. They have two choices red or green. I went with the green. I asked if they were spicy, no mild, so I asked for spicy. Beware they were spicy but not overwhelming. read more

very expensive! got a burrito bowl and cost me almost $18.00!!! they put french fries instead of breakfast potatoes on the bottom, which i asked them not to do! the macacha had fat on it and was very chewy. on top of the fries, they added a lot of lettuce and hardly any meat & melted cheese!the bell peppers & onions were mushy! it was terrible for the money i spent! i was very disappointed and will never go back again! it's a very small place with only a few tables inside & a few on the sidewalk! they used to have great pico de galo-not anymore-it was dry & just cut up tomatoes & onions etc. they said the salsa was not spicy, but it was very hot. i was charged extra for it & i had to throw it away with everything else. the only thing i ate was the shredded beef. i wasted my money! i wont go back again! be prepared to spend a lot of money here! read more

Stopped by for a quick takeout with coworkers. It's a little hole in the wall off the main drag, down a nice shady walkway. There's some outside tables too. We all chose super burritos for lunch. I got the Chili Verde, light on sour cream. It was really good: flavorful moist pork, slices of guac, and all the usual inside. Their salsas were tasty and had the right amount of heat. Two thumbs up read more

Decided to try it out and it didnt dissapont, good portions, great service and delicious food The only cons are the space as is a little smaller and get crowded easily and the pastor meat has to many greasy pieces. But overall a great place for breakfast or lunch as they close early. read more

Fast service. Great food, I was surprised the burrito bowl was very tasty. The steak was surprisingly tasty and lean. The outs side tables were very quaint. The gal at the Steinbeck Center recommended it. It lived up to its expectations. $1 if you use a Credit Card I look forward to returning. read more

Menudo was jammed packed with soft, squishy, meaty goodness. Seriously, there was a ton of meat. The regular burrito was enormous. I can't imagine how big the super version might be. The fresh squeezed orange juice was awesome! I should have got another one to take home. Service was excellent! read more

Great burritos!!! They are humongous! Can feed 2 if you want! Great selection of meat, beans, chorizo, potatoes & more! I can not stop thinking of this place! Love it! read more

I had the pork carnitas regular size burrito. The burrito was huge, filled with carnitas, beans, and rice. The pork was flavorful, but I had to add the salsa to add a little bit more flavor and spice. From what I saw from my friends, these burritos are huge. The service was good, friendly, but it did take a little bit longer than expected, especially with burritos. read more

The location is inside of an alley but there should be plenty street parking. There are both inside and outside seating. The menu has a few weekend only items which I got menudo. The portion is huge for one person and it is very tasty with true ingredients. The service wasn't the fastest but they also make each item by order so it was expected. We went on a hot day and the water was infused with fruit! Definitely highly recommended place. read more

We'd forgotten about this treasure of a place until we stopped in for breakfast this AM. The food was excellent, the staff it is very friendly and efficient,and treat everyone as family. Hardly anyone needs to use a menu, and the staff seems to know what the customers' favorites are. Everyone seems to know everyone! I heartily recommend this excellent gem! read more

Excellent Service! The owners are extremely personable. Very busy, but always friendly. Tge food tastes great! Their breakfast burritos are the best i have had, and I've tried over 1/2 a dozen places. read more

Delicioso! This is a very small, family run place that makes great traditional food. I love the nopales and eggs with freshly made corn tortillas. They serve cinnamon coffee that is invigorating and soothing at the same time. It's a welcome way to start the day. Lunch is also good. Many choices. I love the super carne asada burrito with nopales or avocado. It is stuffed with flavor and is sooo filling. They have a banquet area, some outside tables, a dining area, and can cater your event. I got a tray of their excellent enchiladas to share at a party and everyone raved. You will love the friendly service and the food is very good. Venture down the alley in old town Salinas and enjoy a visit with the warm, friendly locals at Burrito King. read more

Best burritos I have tried in salinas since I moved here a few months ago!!!big burrito for a good ass price. Delicious!!!

Lived in Salinas for 6 yrs and I thought this was a counter service restaurant where you order and go. I was surprised to find out it was a full service restaurant with great food! All of the flavors were on point, and the service was excellent. I wish I would have discovered it sooner. I will be coming back again, hungry for more. read more

What a great spot, sort of tucked away in midtown. I just ordered a couple of quesadillas for my girlfriend and I. He used fresh sliced tomatoes and homemade guacamole; it was amazing. The prices are rad and the portions are not only large, they're delicious. The staff is fast, efficient, and friendly. HIGHLY Recommended read more

This is my little hidden gem! The food and location is very comforting. The service was great didn't have to wait long for our food to come out. You get a good size portion at a reasonable price point. I love it. read more

The chili Relleno burrito is delicious. The are limited with seating so if your going to eat there be prepared you most likely will be sitting outside. I have not had a bad meal here. The servers are friendly and eager to assist you if you have questions. read more

Very friendly service!!! The lady who took my order was lovely. The food was really good too. Not too expensive either. read more

Burrito King - Super Burrito, no beans - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

My sister and I found Burrito King down the alley in downtown Salinas and now go there regularly. Clarity and Jose are wonderful and kind and the food is like homemade. We have tried a few menu items but keep coming back for the Nopales and Eggs. It's a big portion with homemade tortillas, frijoles and potatoes. That and a cup of the cafecito is a great way to start the day. Burrito King is a little hard to find, but once you do you'll be back. I also like that there are outside tables where we can sit with our dogs. read more

I was in Salinas visiting on 01/06/18 because it was my brother's birthday and he was skydiving in the area later that day. Burrito King is located down an alley, but not in a sketchy you-might-get-stabbed kind of way! Our group of four was greeted warmly and seated quickly by a little Hispanic lady. We all got breakfast burritos with our meat of choice and extra crispy ("ex crisp" for short) potatoes--a trend I apparently started. We were pretty satisfied with our selections. I personally had the chorizo and egg and I liked that you can taste the bits of chorizo rather than it being indistinguishable and "one with the egg" like some places prepare it. I know, that's deep for a breakfast burrito review, but it's sincere. I promise! Not sure if I'll ever be back in this exact area, but I will make it a point to stop and try their lunch/dinner selections if I am--I see you carne asada fries! read more

Burrito King - I love a good cross section. Chorizo and egg burrito with "ex crisp" potatoes! - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

Asada super burrito was okay. Asada was super chewy, tortilla nothing special. Service was slow (like waiting an extra 15 minutes for a take-out burrito so a total of 30 minutes for it ... and they weren't busy). Server was also quite rude - which was surprising since they weren't busy and I was charmed by the alley-way location and hoping to love the place. Not worth re-trying for me. read more

This was such a pleasant surprise! A friend recommended this place and it did not disappoint. Their chilaquiles were amazing. I chose the spicy ones and they were some of the best I've ever had. Clarita took care of us and gave us their best dishes. Please visit them! read more

Nice local spot with such friendly service! My husband got the machaca con juevos (he loved it, portions are HUGE) and I got the chilaquiles (delicious). We shared a pancake which was also delicious. Will definitely come back if we're in town read more

Still one of my favorite Burrito spots... It's hard to beat this place for their Breakfast Burrito and their super delicious salsa ! I've been eating here for years... read more

Chorizo burrito was fire with the spicy salsa and my husband got the carnitas burrito which was pretty good as well

Just wanted to say the owner lady is very rude. Service is bad definitely not going again

Down an unassuming alleyway off Main St., you'll find a little gem of a taqueria, known as the Burrito King. I wasn't sure what to make of it, but opted to try it out based on the good reviews. I ordered the super chicken burrito with a coke. The burrito was great! Large, but not over the top. Lots of chicken, beans, rice, spicy salsa, avocado and sour cream. It's was perfectly prepared, with a plentiful mix of goodies in each bite. The staff was friendly and attentive. read more

Wow is this place good! We are not from Salinas and got a little turned around finding the place (it's in a pedestrian ally between Monterey and Main), but the food did not disappoint when we found the restaurant! Highly recommend, lots of variety on the menu! We got a breakfast burrito and a Chile relleno burrito and both were great! read more

By far, one of the best mole super burritos I've ever hard. Staff is super friendly!!! Would recommend!!!
