This place is a staple at Seal Beach-just cross the street and you are at the pier. There is a window out to the sidewalk for beach-hoers to order and get food from. But there is also a cute dining room, too. With a little tile roof overhang, lots of ceramic veggie strings, and murals on the walls, it's actually charming. The service is also great--service with a smile. They bring chips and salsa to the table (the chips are fried full size corn tortillas). We ordered some tacos (ground beef, chicken, and shredded beef) and a red chili beef with green chilies burrito. Everything was delicious. The food comes out FAST. Like in a couple of minutes. And it's is really affordable. read more

This spot is conveniently located near the pier. I ordered a to-go carne asada burrito before my walk and got my food in under 5 minutes -- $14 with tax. It was meaty but pretty dry. I was really hungry, so I ate about half without complaint, but it's not something I'd go out of my way for. Good option if you're already in the area, hungry, and need something fast before or after visiting the pier. read more

When we visit North county, we make it a point to visit. We always forget the place is cash only, there is an ATM inside. Pick up to go and sit across the street to see the water. This visit we picked up breakfast burritos of bacon and egg, the salsa is the freshest. This place is a great beach eats place. read more

It's a tiny hole in the wall next to the pier that's been a mainstay of the area for years, but that tiny kitchen is serving up some legit Mexican dishes! This afternoon my son wanted some Taquitos and I decided on a Super Burrito figuring I would share with him. No need, the Taquitos were a good size, and it came with a pound or so of guacamole, and a massive tin of rice and beans with tons of cheese. My burrito was massive, filled with essentially everything (as a super burrito should be), and it came with about ten large tortilla chip rounds and a bunch of super tasty homemade salsa! Either dish on its own would have been enough for both of us; we were eating like Kings. :P More important than anything else though was the service, the owner was super friendly; while we were there I saw him help a family that was a few bucks short, and he seemed to know all of his regulars by name. Just a good vibe, and the kind of local business that you want to support. [one item of note - it is cash only, as are many of the places along that strip] We'll be back, and I hope to see you there! :) read more

I stopped by this little ordering window across from the beach to pick up some Surfer Specials to eat on the sand. The service wasn't the most friendly, and nothing had prices on it but the food was ready quickly. The Surfer Special currently sits at $12 and includes 2 bean and cheese burritos, a large drink (you can even get horchata), chips and salsa. Originally I thought that was expensive compared to what the price used to be, but although the burritos aren't gigantic they're still on the larger side and you could definitely split this combo between 2 people. The food was simple and tasty, and if you're looking for a casual meal at the beach this should hit the spot. We also ordered a taco combo with rice and beans and the portion of rice and beans was quite big. read more

Been here a lot since "discovering" it. Real made from scratch food. Service is outstanding. Simple decor. A couple of booths at window overlooking park/ocean. A few parking spots in rear, but adjacent to a large public parking lot just north of restaurant. read more

This place is just perfect. I have only ordered salsa verde wet carne asada burrito and never it disappoints! Great place and service is just wonderful. Across the street from the beach, so it has that beachy vibe. read more

Cash only...... There is a small parking lot in the back. You also have the option of free street parking for 2 hours. I'd describe this place as a hole in the wall. You see it when you walk off the pier. They have a walk up window and indoor seating where the wait staff will take your order and serve you. The customer service is impeccable. We were seated quickly and were given fried corn tortillas and spicy salsa. Very crispy. We ordered the super burrito and split it. It comes with rice and refried beans and lettuce in it. The top is smothered with a red sauce and topped with cheese. The sauce is flavorful, but not spicy. I would order it again. It was plenty for two. You also have the option of making reservations for large parties. The bathrooms are clean and a treat not having to go to the public restrooms. I highly recommend this place and the super burrito. Just make sure you bring cash. read more

A quick place to grab a bite while on the water or on the way to the beach. Cash only. It's hit or miss sometimes unfortunately but I stick with my favorites: the surfers special, the shrimp Cocktail and the shrimp burrito. Yum read more

Sat for 20 min while they helped everyone else and let us sit here... then he was rude when we asked for help.

Great food and prices in a great environment with awesome service, cash only. Free customer parking in the rear.

The burritos are terrible. The super burrito is what you would expect if you put everything from a plate and poured it into a tortilla, including the lettuce shreds that they normally put as garnish. The fish burrito also had iceberg lettuce instead of cabbage. Just overall terrible burritos. My husband ate about 2 bites of the super burrito before he had to just call it quits. The meat didn't even seemed seasoned in the slightest. Definitely not coming back. read more

Always reliably tasty, fresh and quick with take-out orders. Friendly with a pride of service evident in employees. Indoor dining is casual and has the distinctive flair of Mexican art and colors. read more

My go to Mexican- simply great. I've probably had every menu item over the past 30+ years (various locations) and never been disappointed. Never. read more

Not initially our first choice, El Burrito Jr was a past favorite of ours off of PCH in Redondo. This location is directly across from the Pier and there are plenty of spots to have a picnic. Inside dining was closed. However, an outdoor window is available to place orders along with about four outdoor tables. You've got to clean the table yourself, but hand sanitizer is placed on each table. We ordered Super Delux Burritos, which were a bit pricey at $14 each. I ordered mine w/shredded beef and I found the beef to be a bit on the dry side and a little lacking in flavor. The negative for me was the lettuce inside the burrito that was completely wilted. The salsa was good and helped bump up the flavor on this burrito. Also ordered was the Carnitas Burrito which was very much enjoyed. However, the lettuce inside the burrito was again so wilted. Overall, pricey Burritos that were just ok. read more

I am giving this place an A' for food taste and portions. This is the real deal in terms of flavor. Their Tacos 'AL Pastor' will be the best you will ever have. The portions! Are we in back in 2005?? Cost to value here is the best you will find in 20 miles from any direction. You are also right across the street from the pier. Its too perfect. Here is a small TIP: They only take CASH so bring cash or use the ATM ....$4 to pull out $20.... You are not going to beat this place for tasty tacos by the beach read more

Bring your appetite! Portions are pretty big, well at least for me. The beef tamale and enchilada combo with rice and beans was my choice this day. It came in a tin foil plate and weighed a ton. A bag of tortilla chips accompanied. Unless you have a hearty appetite or has burned major calories from a strenuous workout or some other activity, this combo is good enough to share. It is exactly what I had a taste for. The Beef tamale was topped with chunks of beef and oh so tender. The tamale was full of flavors and tasted divine when you scoop it up with a chip - because you just needed more carbs. LOL. Seriously though, you should share this dish. Major carb overload. The enchilada was as cheesy as can be and the red sauce married well with the tamale and enchilada. Again did I mention, it would be a good idea to split this combo? And you will need to order the Horchata. It makes a perfect pairing. p.s. We took this to-go. Parked at the Seal Beach pier lot right across the street (so convenient). Then took a nice walk afterwards to burn some of the calories off. So come on down and support this local business. You will love it! read more

My review is based entirely on always ordering the surfer special. I am sure the rest of the menu is worth exploring, but really I come here when I'm craving a great bean burrito. The surfer special (you don't have to be sandy or wet to order it by the way... although it doesn't hurt to be) is two bean and cheese burritos, a few tostadas to use as chips, two salsas, and a drink. I always ask for a couple more salsas, and you can't go wrong with horchata or orange bang. I think what makes the burritos so good to me, alongside the stellar beans, is the tortilla. The tortillas are soft and chewy and have just the perfect bit of bite to them. Tortillas make or break a good burrito. These ones are perfect. Man I've been coming here for so many years, and I really think I could eat these every day. And is absolutely a great way to refuel after spending some time in the surf or in the sand. You can't go wrong with the surfer special. read more

Lunch with my momma. We love Seal Beach and she has never been here so it was a no brained to have her try something new. And..... it is Tuesday so Taco Tuesday it is!! We sat inside because it was horribly windy today. Plenty of tables available. We glanced at the menu, ordered and started chomping on chips and salsa. We got our food super fast, too, before we filled up on the chips! Mom had a carne asada burrito and I had 2 shredded beef tacos a la carte. She really enjoyed her burrito. My tacos were excellent. It's a cash only restaurant but they have an atm machine inside. You can also order at the window and take your food to the beach, park or home. read more

My family and I have been coming to EBJ in Seal Beach for years. Great food, reasonable prices and a wonderful and friendly staff. They have a good selection of food, things like Tacos, burritos, taquitos and a lot of other favorites. EBJ excepts Cash only and does have an atm inside. With that said there is a Bank of America not to far away. EBJ is located across the street from beautiful The Seal Beach Pier, you can take a nice walk on the pier before or after eating. I highly recommend El Burrito for excellent Mexican food and service read more
