The salsa is good but the food is mediocre. The customer service is always bad and the restaurant is dirty looking at all times of day

We love El Burrito. We eat there once a week. The staff is awesome and Jose the own is the best!!! Now I'm hungry.

A very casual small restaurant. ..there's even outdoor tables. Nothing fancy...just big portions of very good food at a great price. Burritos r great along w their fajitas. The breakfast burrito is my kids' fave morning or night. The staff there is very attentive. Only wish had more dessert items....the flan that they offer is just ok. Would definitely recommend this place. Wish I lived closer! read more

I've been to El Burrito Grill twice now and I really enjoyed it. I love the carne asada burrito. It's the best!

Food is still amazing only reason this drops is only because of one specific waitress. She couldn't have possibly avoided eye contact with me more efficiently, never once checked on us, and what we ordered wasn't correct. I can forgive that because the food is so good but the attitude is unforgivable, I can understand its taco Tuesday and quite busy but; you're in the customer service industry and sometimes you have to plaster that smile on your face and resist all eye rolling! I will avoid this day in the week because I would like to not have her serve us again. read more

The enchiladas were fabulous and this place has the best salsa and refried beans I've ever had! The owner, Jose, was super nice. Thank you for a great meal! -Angie & Mike read more

This place was so delicious I had the wet burrito My boyfriend got the carnitas plate so good as well! definitely going back if we're around the LBC area read more

This place has awesome breakfast burritos. That's what I go there for usually. Today I went there for lunch and had the super burrito with Asada. It was good and big portions. Definitely recommend. The red sauce on the burrito is excellent. read more

El Burrito Grill - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

I am new to Long Beach and this place is definitely a hidden gem. You can always tell if a place is going to be good by the chips and salsa and this place has great chips n salsa! I had a breakfast burrito and my girlfriend had something else (I don't recall what it was) but they were both great. Can't wait to try some other stuff off their menu. I will definitely being coming here on my cheat days! read more

They wouldn't seat us at 8:25 pm because they close at 9:00 pm. What? That's not how restaurants work, dude.

This place has the best beans in town. Guacamole is fabulous too and the portion size is HUGE! The owner (Jose) takes VERY good care of customers. Treats everyone like family. Pricing is extremely reasonable. I've been going to this family run business for 20+ years. On top of the great food their customer service is top notch! read more

El Burrito Grill had a really good red enchilada sauce and that is what I will come back for. The chips and salsa were very good as well. The chilli in the relleno was canned.......not fresh and I prefer fresh anaheim chilis for my relleno. The carnitas were a little dry. Otherwise, I will be back for anything with the red sauce. read more

Best Taco Tuesday Ever!!!!! The tacos are huge for $1!!!! I've only come here for taco Tuesday , I've never tried any of the other food. The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service is pretty slow ... Every time . Still the best deal I have seen. read more

I have been here several times now. Always good attentive service. Food is fresh and tasty. Chips are warm and made fresh in house. The come out like a large communion waffer and you break off pieces. Asada is very flavorful tasting like it was cooked over a wood fire. Prices are not only reasonable but a good value for the amount and quality of food served. They have a nice patio when the.weather is nice for outside dining. read more

Consistently delicious food. Friendly, attentive staff that will likely remember you after just 3 visits or so. Everything I have ever had here has been great, but #'s 16 & 20 keep me coming back (the only place I'll get asada from- no chewy fatty pieces). Love the beans, rice & salsa! I'm so lucky to live right down the street- highly recommend! read more

Great family restaurant. The food is of very high quality and the service was fabulous. We also tried there catering service, which was equally outstanding. Make sure not to miss this local gem. read more

Just had their Asada torta! Sooo good and huge. I was only able to eat 1/2 (my dinner is ready). Place is close to me will definitely be coming back! read more

Been looking to Yelp for good reviews and restaurants. My 1st Yelp. This place has pretty good food. Price is not bad at all. Just had a chile verde burrito, and I loved it. read more

Good food, horrible service...really, we HAVE to pay our bill at the register? . We would have liked to double-check the bill at the table to see who owed what., also our server was NOT busy yet pretty much ignored our requests for extra napkins and additional drink orders etc. We scanned the bill (at the register, while other patrons had to wait) and lo and behold they padded it w/xtra beers. I felt bad for those behind us that had to wait at least 5 mins while they refigured the tab (how do you run out of Coors Lt btw?). Bottom line is, if you have table service then your bill should be left at the table like every other restaurant in the free world. We won't be back, the location @ Bellflower & Carson is way better. read more

Super simple and super tasty. Always fun to have a new Mexican food restaurant that keeps it simple. I have ordered the asada burrito two times and the burrito has been very tasty and very large both times. Owner does really care about your experience and that your food is to your liking. Simple and tasty. Enjoy read more

I've passed by this restaurant several times and i finally decided to get some lunch/ breakfast. i got the burrito with beans rice and carne asada. Blah it was so disgusting the beans had no flavor, the meat was chunky and had no flavor whatsoever not even seasoned with salt. besides the red sauce that it was wet in their was no flavor to this burrito, for $8 bucks id expected more from this place. the chips were good but the salsa was so watered down it wasn't even funny. the service was good no complaints on that end but the food quality could be better. the inside was nice and clean but it could use a little decoration besides a couple of plates on the walls DEFINITELY WILL NEVER EVER GO HERE AGAIN. NOT WORTH THE MONEY AND YOUR TIME read more

The best! Cheap prices. High quality food! You can takeout or eat there.

I usually have great meals from here, but today was horrible. I got a beef tamale, and the tamale had no flavor and barely any sauce. It tasted like they took the corn maze and boiled it without a corn shell, so all of the flavor went out and left it soggy AF. Then there wasn't any meat inside of it, but rather random chunks on top- different types of meat! It was chunks of both beef and pork on top. It was pretty horrible, but the service and rice&beans were great as always. read more

This is our secret gem....but the secret is out. We have been going to this location since it opened a couple of years ago and we love their food, service, and atmosphere. We had them cater our couple's wedding shower and their food was a hit. We ordered the 3 foot burrito and it was amazing. If you're ever in the Park Estates Section of Long Beach, stop in for food. Delicious! read more

Just terrible service from the time we sat down. We had to change booths because the booth smelled like urine and even after we informed the waitress, still nothing was done. The tortilla chips were drenched with oil and were not even hot, it seemed like they had been re-cooked. The service was the worst I've ever had for the few years I've been going there! Will not be returning. read more

Food was mediocre at best. Service was void. Wrong food to certain people, forgotten drink orders, no one asked us if we wanted more to drink etc, etc. Not even worth giving a second chance. read more

Great food, great service. The chips they serve you are whole fried corn tortillas....I had tacos carnitas, and they were awesome

If you're looking for a decent bite, this is the place. Its close to CSULB. The shrimp burritos are excellent and well worth it. Its not too pack on any given day, but don't let that fool you. The food are delish and this a must stop for a quick Mexican meal. Call in your order if you don't want to wait. Plenty of parking in front or in the back. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. I invited my mom out for lunch yesterday, Thursday (Aug.30th,2018) @ 2pm to El Burrito Grill since every morning i drive by it and decided to give it a try. We entered the restaurant as first timers as a male, tall, skinny, Hispanic employee was to busy interacting (flirting?) with a female customer sitting at the bar and didn't even greet us until about 5 min. after or so. I then asked if we may seat ourselves or have to get seated. He then said we could sit anywhere. We chose a booth which was still dirty from the previous customers, he then approached us and said "You did see other tables were open right?" completely rude! I smiled and responded with a "Yes but we decided a booth is more comfortable is there an inconvenience." He said no with an attitude and walk away. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! We felt uncomfortable right away and decided to leave immediately!! As an employee, boss etc. If your not happy with your job find another one but don't spread your negativity to customers who are just trying to enjoy some food in peace. read more

Best Cali-Mex burrito I've ever had. Laid back. Patio is great for Long Beach dining day or night. Taco Tuesdays offer $1.50 tacos. All kinds. Staff is awesome as well. Check this place out if you're in the area. read more

I've never written a negative review but in this case I have to. I tried phone ordering some tacos for pick up and she confirmed and told me in ten minutes it would be ready. I got there approximately ten minutes after expecting my order to be ready. Not only wasn't it ready but I waited an additional twenty five minutes to receive my order. I would have left but about ten minutes after arrival she already charged my card. When I asked her if they forgot to put my order in or what the delay was she gave a stupid remark about it being chaotic in the kitchen when there were about the same number of workers as patrons. It's freaking taco Tuesday!!! Figure it out. Will never ever be back. Terrible service and overall experience. read more

I walked in to this place at 10:15 am to get food for my lunch later In the day...the waitress was very helpful in helping me decide what I should get....the wet burrito she recommended was AMAZING! (Mind you this was to go and it was still delicious !) there was a good amount of meat in the burrito (most places are stingy with it). I really can't wait to go back! My Carnitas wet burrito was the sh*t! read more

Shannon and I decided to use our Living Social deal for a cheap dinner at El Burrito Grill this evening, despite the slow service we received the last time we were there(I let it go without a ding on yelp, because everyone has a bad day). The restaurant had a few parties inside and one other table on the patio besides us. A server promptly brought chips and salsa to us and our drink order was taken and delivered. We then waited for our order to be taken. We drained the ice teas and ate the chips and salsa, but still no one approached. It took at least fifteen minutes till someone came to take our order, she was apologetic. I offered her my phone with the living Social Deal on the screen before we ordered. She said she would take it after the meal. We ordered our food and I asked for utensils, since there were none on the table. I never got them. When my taco was delivered I asked the food expediter for utensils, they were never brought. My enchilada and rice were delivered to the table, but I still didn't have a fork. During this whole debacle the owner/manager was at the other patio table dealing with a catering order. I looked at him, he made a one minute signal. After my food sat on the table for ten minutes(getting cold) I walked inside the restaurant. When I approached the counter the owner/manager was just getting us utensils, he refused to give them to me. He insisted on carrying them to our table. What pisses me off about this is that he obviously knew we had no utensils and found it acceptable to let us remain without them while our food chilled. After that he approached our table two more times in fifteen minutes to ask about the meal, a little too late. We finished our meal and sat at least another twenty minutes waiting for someone to bring a box or a bill. I finally had to walk inside the restaurant for a second time. When I went to get the bill I was told we couldn't use the Living Social on tuesdays. That is perfectly acceptable, my problem is that why couldn't the server have told me this at the beginning of our meal hen I told her we were using one. I inquired about this with the owner/manager. He replied with a dickish attitude and a raised voice that it is in the fine print. I lost it, I told him that it is ridiculous that the service was so slow and neglectful and he raised his voice again to me and with condescension told me he came to our table three times, Oh my god he came to our table three whole times. That must have been hard for him, isn't that his damn job! I guess that I should be happy that in the hour plus that we were there he chose to approach us three times, all in a span of twenty minutes. These three visits were while we were eating and had refilled drinks, but he obviously avoided our table when we actually needed assistance and were attempting to make eye contact, fidgeting and looking for someone to assist us. What an awesome business owner/manager. I sure do appreciate being bitched at for speaking up against bad service and rudeness. He did offer to take care of our bill, I refused because at this point I didn't want to be placated by such an, excuse me, a@#$hole! I am calling Living Social to get my money back tomorrow. Be warned if you want awful service and an owner/manager who makes the soup Nazi look pleasing feel free to visit this establishment, I for one will not! read more

I've been to this location twice for Taco Tuesday with a group and was disappointed by the service both times. The first time they confused our orders and blamed us for it, then the next week they asked us "not to mess up our orders again". Also on our second visit we were only given one basket of chips for a large table and didn't receive more even after we asked multiple times. One my friends went inside and gave a waitress $5 to bring us more COMPLIMENTARY chips and salsa. Overall food was great, service was terrible read more

Was not impressed with this restaurant. Not authentic Mexican Food, More like budget mexican food that could be compared to a frozen dinner. Just wasn't a pleasant experience, we expected more.... read more

The best Pork Chile Verde I have ever had. Everything they prepare here is excellent. A casual atmosphere with great service. Generous with their home made chips and salsa. I try to make it for lunch at least once a week and have never been disappointed. Best Mexican food in Long Beach, by far!!! read more

My best friend and I eat here every Taco Tuesday. We are welcomed the minute we come in and love the staff. The service is great even when they get super busy! We devour those tacos in seconds because they are so delicious. (totally recommend the carnitas tacos) Javani is the best manager around and always serves the most delicious margaritas. We'll be there next Tuesday as always! read more

My wife and I decided to go for the "Taco Tuesday" because of the quality tacos for $1.50. But, I went for the tortilla soup. OMG, I had the cup and it was loaded with chicken, cheese, vegetables, and of course, tortillas. I couldn't finish it; because of the huge cup serving. My wife had the tamale and enchiladas plate and she didn't even offer me a bite. You know what that means. The total bill was too good to mention. I don't know how the owner stays in business; maybe just his hobby. If you want delicious food at a great price, this is the place. Next time, I'll have the tacos. read more

My girlfriend and I go here 24/7! It is our fast but Delicious go to spot for our lunch dates!! Over the years they seem to get more and more crowded which is a good thing! We know the owner really well and always get great service! Their food is awesome and the prices are cheap!! Their chips and salsa and guacamole are amazing and are really easy to fill up on before your entree comes! Definitely go to el burrito, I promise you'll return! read more

I was curious when I read the reviews but was very disappointed. Definitely not even close to super mex. The food was mediocre. I ordered the deluxe burrito with the chunky beef and the waitress brought me out the super burrito with the ground beef. I was going to suck it up and eat it anyway because I've been a server and hate to complain, but I really do not like to eat ground beef at a Mexican place. Once I politely explained the mix up, the waitress blamed me and didn't want to correct my order. Mix ups happen, but the customer should never be blamed even if they are wrong, which I am certain I wasn't. In the end I waited 15 minutes for my check when the waitress knew I was done and the buser had cleaned my table. Wouldn't go back even if my white friends begged me. read more
