I said, "AYOOOOO" Tucked away in the corner of a bustling mall strip is a gem of a Mexican food spot! Everything inside is clean, clear, and crisp--Must be a newer location. I love a HUGE simple menu. This tells me they know exactly what they are and I'm here for just Tacos, Burritos, Enchiladas, and Quesadillas. This time I went with 2 Potato & 2 Fish tacos. For $3 each I felt like I was stealing because of the portion size. There's plenty of indoor & outdoor seating. Plenty of parking as well. I came during the day on a weekday so my food came out fast and the cashiers were friendly. Definitely will be back!! Especially before the combo deals are gone... read more

Seriously folks- if you haven't tried this place - you are MISSING OUT on yummieness Third visit and it has gotten even better if that's even possible. Check out their value meals, running around $11 with about six choices of entrees with free choice of beverages. Lots of choices of beverages, at least..... heck I'll just take a pic so you can see). I got the value meal, Birria beef enchiladas, rice which is so good, not just flavorless, lightweight rice. Seems like homemade with lots of love and flavors added. You can tell the difference! Each bite of the enchilada had CHUNKS of the, oh so tender & flavor filled birria; not simply little shreds of it. See pics. One of the things we really appreciate is they DO NOT SKIMP ON cheese scattered generously on both the beans and entree. If you love added cheese, like we do, you don't need to worry about asking for more-then paying extra. They are generous. The hubs scarfed down his value meal $11 three rolled tacos with birria, covered & drenched in guacamole (sauce) with shredded cheese and NO cheap filler "just for looks"! like shredded lettuce either. I hate when places do that. His also included rice, beans and beverage. It's a clean place too. Oh! Almost forgot-each guest is welcomed with a truly sincere, "Hello! Welcome." They bring your meal to your seat. TV is on if you like to eat and watch TV. WE are definitely coming back again & again. Shout out tonight to Antonio who is always smiling behind the counter, ready to take your order and answer questions and give helpful tips on combinations. Tonight he was joined by Fernando. Behind in kitchen cooking up the terrific grub was Jose & Alex. Thanks guys for always making peeps feel welcome and like you REALLY are happy to see them stop by! Very friendly and hey - they are a family biz with tons of locations also in San Diego areas and Az. Let's give them some attention & love so they'll open more locations here!!! read more

I tried the Large Birria Fries. The birria and consome were delicious and the pickled onions were a great addition. The fries are large enough to share between two people if you get the large. I will be back for the birria! read more

Ohhhh nooooooo. This hurt my little tummy. Unfortunately, this was not edible. I had a lot of fat pieces and there was no flavor whatsoever so ever. After a few bites my stomach began to hurt extremely bad. I do t see myself returning. Each bite should get better and better vs the opposite. Parking can be busy during lunch. Interior nice and clean. Cold station was low. Grrrrrr I don't like for things to make my stomach hurt at this point it was a waste of time and money. Customer was ok, personable and helpful. read more

Another great San Diego establishment brought up to LA Area! Family owned, smaller chain. Rolled Tacos are our family favorite when we are in SD! They have a great $11 special - 3 rolled tacos with rice & beans and a drink. I ordered two chicken and one beef. They tacos with loaded with guacamole and cheese on top! They have a sauce bar and I tried their guac-salsa, excellent and a medium salsa, also very good. Rolled tacos were loaded with meat! Service was excellent. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table (for dining in). Very spacious interiors with lots of tables to spread out and relax while dining. There are also outside tables shared with the other local eateries. The interior has several full wall murals. Self-service soda station and surprised to see Orange Crush. I had to pour it, for nostalgia! Overall, great experience (for fast food). Food came out quickly and you can tell it was freshly prepared. Next time I plan to try their Torta or loaded fries! Lots of great options! read more

Was recommended to come here by a coworker Got the surf and turf burro, quesabirria and a small horchata for $33. Portions are huge. I saved my half of the burro. They have a salsa bar with hot carrots, guaca salsa, verde, habanera and a spicy salsa. Workers were cheerful and nice. Food came out within 10 minutes. Store is clean. Would come back again! read more

While in SoCal I knew I definitely had to get some Mexican food and Burros & Fries hit the spot. I shared the carne asada burro and small adobado fries, both were good, but preferred the burro more. The burro came packed with tender carne asada, guacamole, and salsa fresca - delicious. The small fries was larger than expected - definitely plenty to share between 2-4 people depending on if other items are order. I like how they didnt skimp on the meat (marinated pork). I also tried some of the beef rolled tacos, which were also good. If you don't plan on eating these rolled tacos right away, highly suggest requesting the toppings (guac, lettuce, cheese, and salsa fresca) on the side or it will get soggy. Plenty of seating inside and some outside. Lots of parking available in the large lot just outside the restaurant. read more

I really hope management sees this I don't know what kind of prior training Adrian has had,(to be honest, the customer service Adrian gave, you can't be taught) but he was absolutely amazing. Right down to being a genuine person and right down to being a straight up ten when it came to customer service It's a step above a fast food type of chain I'd say. You go up to the counter and order / pay. You serve yourself at the delicious salsa bar (love their avocado salsa) Adrian was very helpful with the menu, suggesting things and asking us if we wanted to make it a combo so that it came with beans and rice and a drink. (We ended up getting the shredded beef taquitos, the birria enchiladas combo and I asked for just a burrito with cheese, beans and birria. And then the bag of chips and salsa) I came here in my pajamas, I couldn't stand up straight because I just got over having sepsis and it took a toll on me. I knew I looked like a MESS. After we ordered I started walking to a booth. I heard someone asking if somebody needed help. I didn't pay attention, because I didn't think Adrian was talking to me. But he ended up coming up to me and asking if I was ok. I am not going to sugarcoat it. I have been out in public very very sick and nobody has said anything, I have even been on the ground inside of a store with people all circled around me staring. Still, nobody asking if I was ok.. So it was very refreshing to have him ask if I needed help and to check on me. when he brought out the food, I think he assumed we got it to go, because of how bad I was. He packed it all nicely in to go containers (we wanted to eat it there) we told him it was no problem at all and we would eat it out of the take out boxes. He even asked if I needed help opening up the container because I was struggling (I was having a really bad flare with my hands since I have RA and having the sepsis just made everything I have flare) when it was time to leave he even came out and gave my mom bigger containers for the salsa instead of the little tiny ones for their salsa bar as we were packing up our leftovers. I honestly will only come to this location and I will be back because of him. The food also was really great. Everything tasted really fresh. The price was good and I am a sucker for Birria. It's pretty trendy right now (I've seen so many pics of their delicious fries) As I was leaving, I had to lean on a pillar outside because I was too weak and out of breath to make it to the car. My mom's hands were full with our leftovers. Adrian came outside and started apologizing and asking if it was ok if he helped. We declined, but he literally offered to carry the leftovers so my mom could help me / he offered to help me to the car. Again, I really really hope management sees this. I actually will be calling the restaurant and asking for the manager so I can tell them about how amazing Adrian is. The place was really clean I really liked the salsa bar They had up close parking, they do share it with a bunch of other restaurants right there They have a nice menu. It's pretty big You order and pay at the counter and then your food comes out It's great for take out. The food came out so fast. And, obviously the customer service. Adrian was absolutely amazing. His kindness literally made me cry read more

I visited your Seal Beach location yesterday for the first time, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The fries we received were flavorful but extremely soggy. The Quesabirria was also disappointing--it was essentially a tortilla with meat and came without the consommé. When I got home and unpacked our order, I noticed additional issues. The torta was so moist that it seemed as though it had been sitting for quite some time before being served. Overall, the quality of the food did not meet expectations for a first visit. I called the store to explain my concerns, particularly regarding the missing consommé. The employee's response was simply that "sometimes that happens." I was then told that if I wanted to drive back to the restaurant, I could pick up the missing consommé and would be given a free soda. I declined. To be honest, offering a free soda felt insulting given the circumstances. We spent nearly $55, and the response to multiple issues with our order seemed very dismissive. The attitude of "it happens" did not inspire confidence or make me feel that my concerns were taken seriously. I had heard good things about your restaurant and had high hopes for our first visit, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I have included photos of the food we received, including a comparison between the Quesabirria advertised on your website and what was actually served. Based on this experience, I will likely not be returning for a second visit. read more

Loved this spot.. I will definitely be back soon! I got a spicy shrimp burrito, which was super delicioso and brought some decent heat, bean and cheese burrito, which totally hit the spot, mainly because the tortillas are super fresh and buttery goodness, and a fish taco, which was very respectable. Guys working there were super nice and even brought the food outside to me. Please was clean and had a nice salsa bar with legitimately hot salsa. I am updating this review after eating a couple burritos at a truck near me - burros burritos so far outpaced the truck it is ridiculous. Really the truck review probably suffered from how good burros is. For sure try this place.. if you aren't happy with it then either there is serious inconsistency with staff or your taste buds just suck.. maybe, like the people reviewing the truck, you are just out of your element.. idk.. good luck! read more

Overall food quality and size of the burritos and fries were very worth it here! I would definitely be back to try out some other things on the menu. They also have a great condiment bar with good salsa options! I had to give a 3 star though because of the service. I called about 30 minutes prior to arrival to place a to go order. When I got to the restaurant I lined up to pay for the items and it was not ready yet, which was okay with me. However, the couple behind me who ordered after me ended up receiving their order before me. I had to wait an additional 25 minutes before I got my food. I thought calling in an order would be faster, but I guess I was wrong. read more

3.4768 stars I came in for a quick snack and found myself in great snacking company. Ngl, the menu is overwhelming. There are many, many combinations to choose from so be prepared to do some light reading. I didn't order fries though I should have. Instead, I opted for steak chips ($17.49 for a large). Mine came topped lots of guac, sour cream, salsa fresca, and a sprinkle of cheese. First off, the steak was so tender and flavorful. And the chips - they were chipping. They were delightfully crispy, lightly salted, and the perfect vessel for scooping. On the other hand, my nacho toppings needed a little work. There were no beans (though they were promised in the description) which would have helped to offset all the guac. And there was much too much guac. Too much guac and too little of everything else. Moreover, I would have liked for some melty cheese, but instead I got a sprinkle of unmelted shredded cheese. I think this was mostly a quality control issue. The few good bites I did have were great. Hopefully the toppings will be more balanced next time. Burro & Fries has an expansive menu. I'll definitely be back to try other items. read more

Burros & Fries - steak chips: beans, guacamole, sour cream, salsa fresca + cheese = $17.95 for a large - Mexican Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Burros & Fries is a chain of Mexican fast casual restaurants. 16 locations are in California; 3 are in Arizona. This is my first experience with this brand, and its food. I arrived about 30 minutes before store closing. Within this context, I feel counter service was acceptable. On this occasion, I ordered the "carne asada burro" ($12.49). With tax ($1.16), my ticket was $13.65 before gratuity. I ordered the burrito, per house preparation (no customization). It was a good tasting burrito; and I feel the serving size and quantity of contents within were reasonable for the price paid. I'll also note that the taste of their carne asada is distinct from other Mexican fast casual restaurants. I attribute this to the marinade and treatment of the beef on the grill. I'd go back again. read more

My brother in law put me onto this place. The wife and I went in and I'm glad that we did because the food is great! The carne asada fries were fantastic and the burrito was nothing short of amazing! The only thing about the experience that I would change would be the customer service. Not the best if I'm being honest but the food made up for it. read more

The burrito was pretty standard but still good, especially with the green sauce. What really stood out was the service. The guy at the front desk and the girl in training were both amazing, I'd come back just for how welcoming they were. The trainee even recommended which meat to choose and it was perfect. I also appreciated the cook taking the time to explain an ingredient I had questions about. For a quick order spot, they really cared about the customer experience. They checked in during my meal, and the dining area was spotless. read more

Finally tried this place. I got a machaca breakfast burrito to share with my wife. I am always a big fan of machaca but I have never had it in a burrito. They chopped it up and cook it with the eggs so it's well combined. The burrito is not overly packed and jumbo sized. It's not a garbage burrito filled with beans and cheese and potatoes so you can easily tasted the meat and the egg. It's a good size and satisfying to split so you don't feel bad about yourself. I also got the avocado salsa and the medium verde salsa. Both had good flavor. I think it's a good test for a chain place to provide good flavored salsas. I enjoyed it enough that I will give this place another try for lunch or dinner. read more

I made the poor decision to order a breakfast burrito and eat it in one sitting. That thing was YUGE! Anyways I got the steak and egg. The meat could have used a little more seasoning but other than that I was a happy happy hippo. There were multiple salsa options: green, avocado, habanero, and less spicy. The spicy carrots were cut into bite-sized pieces which I appreciate. I'll prolly come back to try another breakfast burrito and hopefully make better life decisions. Doubt it. read more

I came on a Tuesday because, of course, I needed tacos! So I haven't tried anything else yet. Three stars means I liked it fine, I feel like I can get juicier and more flavorful street tacos elsewhere. The good news is, they DO have a Taco Tuesday special; the bad news is, it's not written on the menu, and I can't remember exactly what it is. The way the friendly staff described it, if I recall correctly, it only applies to the street tacos, and you can only get it by buying a set of three, and there was some other degree of freedom there, like, usually you can't mix-and-match the set of three street tacos, but on Tuesday you can? Or the other way around? lol I ordered a total of four tacos, and my receipt shows the same price for all four, so I'm very confused! I really like their late hours! I was not impressed by the salsa bar, but maybe that's because I came late (8:30pm)? There was hot carrots and squeeze bottles of salsa. read more

Around here Mexican food places are as omni present as Starbucks & most of them are good to very, very good. Burro's & Fries with its massive menu offers something for most anyone all in one place. The variety can be overwhelming for some (me) so study up or take your time. This is what we ordered To Go: Machaca Breakfast Burro Carne Asada Burro 3 Rolled Tacos All were really good! The Burro's (don't say Burrito) were big & tasty & they didn't skimp on the ingredients. I really enjoyed the tortilla! It had a slightly stretchy texture, not dry or too floury. I kind of crave it. The Rolled Tacos were crunchy, not greasy & the shredded lettuce & cheese topping added a fresh touch. There's a Salsa Bar featuring squeeze bottles offering various degrees of flavors & heat. Fill plastic cups with the red & green sauces. No chunky pico de gallo though. The inside is So.Cal casual & clean. It's the former location of Rubio's & next door to Mako Ramen. Lots of parking. Service was good. Prices are fair (for these days) as the portions & quality are thumbs up. Throwing in a bag of chips might be a nice touch. read more

As soon as I walked in, I see how nice the space is and the cashier behind the counter was quick to greet me and get my order going.

Horrible food and didnt even get my order correct. Also very over priced. All around not a good experience

I heard about this place from someone boasting about it on Nextdoor. I wanted to try just one soft taco to see if I liked the flavors. It was HUGE, flavorful and the added habanero salsa and lime was amazing. I had leftovers to take home. They are not shy with their portions. I was at CVS yesterday and decided to go back and try the chicken enchilada combo plate (that I had read about on Nextdoor) with pinto beans and rice. Again, habanero salsa and lime from the salsa bar! Amazing ya'll (no, I'm not Southern, a SO CAL girlie here, but I just needed to type that for effect :)) To boot: (Yes, I'm half English who loves Mexican food): Joseph served me at both visits. He not only remembered me and what I ordered the first time, his customer service and personality is epic to say the least! He goes far and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. Ignore the earlier poor comments, the business and management must have taken those to heart because I didn't see or taste anything negative. (BTW, I think negative comments are necessary so a business can grow and get better and better and better). ENJOY! read more

Great new Mexican place, which we don't have enough of here. Love the San Diego style food. I've had them a few times now and they have been solid every time.

Another great experience at Burros & Fries so a 5-star review is a must. So much variety but still centered around Burritos, which should be called "Burrotes" (u Spanish speakers understand the innuendo) and French Fries. The guys working the front desk have great attitudes which to me suggest ownership/management treats them fair and well. This time I tried mom's chile verde burrito and my wife tried the flautas. As good as they each were, I'd suggest replacing or the cheddar cheese with either cotija or queso fresco, or at least having it as an option. Either way great job fellas, I'll see u again!!! read more
