    Surfin' California Burrito

    I've been coming here every week for a long time, but lately the food quality has been inconsistent. The Surfing California burrito, in particular, has been very hit or miss over the past year--sometimes the shrimp lacks seasoning, other times there's barely any sauce. On my most recent visit, the burrito was noticeably smaller than usual. The asada was scarce and cut very small, the shrimp was overcooked and tough, and I even bit into a full shrimp tail, which was extremely off-putting. This was a disappointing experience, and I hope this review helps bring attention to quality control so things can get back to the standard that originally made this place a weekly stop for me.

    I don't recall the name but it tastes like Crispy potatoes rolls

    The taco here was yummy and different flavors to choose from the menu. The store was busy so we got to order some food for takeout. They gave us a beeper for waiting to get our food ready. The staffs were talking in their language so the food should be authentic and they were really good to enjoy different foods here.

    Nothing wrong with some good tacos & burritos! My daughter just moved a couple blocks away and we've eaten here a few times. Always good. I'm not a fan of the green salsa, but that's me. Red salsa is delish! My last visit I just grabbed a couple tacos - carnitas & chili relleno for $7, thank you very much!

    i've ordered from here quite a bit and staff members seem to always be decently nice! but today i found a strand of dark, wavy hair in my food and i called the restaurant to let them know and they took no accountability and refused to get me a manger or help me out in any way. this is really disappointing because i really liked this place. safe to say i will not be eating here anymore :/

    I ordered online. I ordered a quesabirria and I don't even know how to explain what I got but here's the pictures. I asked for no onions and got onions. And there's no cheese. Forgot the consume too. I don't have a picture of the beans and cheese but you'd be better off making your own sides.

    Absolutely delicious food . I was here visiting from L.A . We found Azteca after a long day and was pleasantly surprised to find it open. Enjoyed the carne asada burro and chicken quesadilla . There's a small patio and dinning area inside . Give it a try if you love good south of the border cooking .

    I visited El Burrito Azteca a few weeks ago for the first time. I'm enjoying trying Mexican restaurants in Portland and I'm happy to note that I enjoyed my visit and burrito at this restaurant. This restaurant is in the Portland Eater Article which features 14 big burritos in Portland. The burrito that is highlighted is the Surfin California which includes guacamole, shrimp, asada, and fries. It's not my usual order but I enjoyed the burrito and the two salsas available to put on it. The horchata was good. The service was good as well. Overall, it's a great taqueria to visit if you are close by.

    Super solid choice for local Mexican flavors my only complaint was they forgot our chips and salsa with our to-go order so alas we did without. We ordered some ground beef tacos, chimichanga plate, and a bean and rice burrito. They gave us ample amount of sauces just missing that order of chips and salsa. Everything tastes fresh and the portions are pretty big. I really enjoyed my bean and rice burrito. By the time we arrived, ordered, and left with our food there ended up being a pretty large crowd dining in, so it looks like this place gets packed, which is great! The ordering process is really straightforward, you walk-in, order at the counter, your receipt has a number, they call your number and voila.

    Can you take a quiet newborn in the bar area?

    Probably, assuming it is before 9:30 pm and you are sitting at tables rather than the service bar. It is chilly from AC and might be too loud. Opting for the family dining room may be better. Cheers!

The person at the counter taking our order was helpful, efficient, and their enthusiasm carried over into the dining portion of the visit. My rule of thumb is that if a place has Cochinita Pibil on the menu, then they can be counted on to do things right. My CP taco had just the right amount of spice to leave me with a pleasant, warm feeling inside, about a half hour after we left. The horchata was cool and soothing, even though it had a wonderful, over-the-top cinnamon flavor.

Their artwork adds to the joyous ambiance - photo tributes to entertainers makes it fun.

Will have to look into whether they sell their mango hot sauce separately as well. I'd buy a bottle!
