I used to come here years ago and decided to grab a burrito here on the way home and so glad I did. Jumbo burrito with grilled chicken was fantastic, definitely best burrito I have had in a long time. I like that there were different bean options. Hubby had the shrimp burrito and there were whole shrimp in there. He loved it, super tasty. They also have a nice selection of salsa at their salsa bar. Definitely worth a stop. I will be here much more often. read more

This place is pretty good and convenient because it is close to the Tesla charging station so you can eat while you charge. The carne asada fries were very good but I would like the fries cooked more because they get so soggy on the bottom and they get soggy fast. They have complimentary chips and a salsa bar which is nice. The horchata is really good. I've also tried the birria tacos and I really like those. Service is pretty fast and the inside is decent with plenty of seating. It's worth it to stop by, I feel it's not too expensive and the portions are huge. read more

Cheese enchilada with onions, beans and rice, sour cream, avocado cream. Crunchy Taco's with ground beef and one with Carnitas, plenty of rice, beans, sour cream and avocado. Side order of chili releno was a full meal in self. All freshly made and delivered to the table while we munched in all the stuff from the salsa bar, chips, marinated carrots and onions. Busy but they get the order correct, kinda important. read more

We stopped for lunch here, right off the freeway, close to Tesla charging and Raley's. it was very clean, very friendly, with a wide variety of choices, and Service was fast. Agua Fresca were very reasonable, with a refill for only a $1 more. Good chips and salsa was free! read more

Tesla Charge & Snack - Every time we travel, we try to pick chargers near the freeway that also have food nearby. On this adventure, we stumbled upon El Burrito Taqueria while stopping to charge. I ordered a simple bean, cheese, and rice burrito for... breakfast along with some chips and salsa as an appetizer. The burrito tasted homemade, from the tortilla to the beans, and it had plenty of cheese! My husband got a chorizo burrito (forgot the photo). He said it wasn't anything he'd need to have again, not bad just not amazing. I would definitely stop here again the next time we charge. Bonus: they also have a drive-thru if you're in a hurry to grab something quick. read more

crispy tacos were soggy with not much flavor. The place is busy so they must be doing something right. I will give them another try when in the area and order something else. read more

I stopped for lunch here while charging at the convenient Tesla supercharger next door. I got a carnitas torta, which was ok -- the pork was tender, but way too salty for me. Tortilla chips were good and complimentary, with a complete salsa bar. The decor is pretty basic, essentially a fast food restaurant. Service was fast and friendly. read more

El Burrito Taqueria - Carnitas torta - Mexican Near Me - Auburn, California

Solid tacos. It's not a mom and pop, there's little ambiance or margaritas, but it's tasty, cheap and quick. There's even a drive thru, don't let that fool you though it's a million times better than Taco Bell. We tried a couple crispy tacos, all were great but it's not deep fried crispy so I may try the hard shell next time. There's service was very good. Nice little stop after errands. read more

Came here for dinner during our trip to Tahoe and I was not disappointed.. They have birria (which is my favorite dish!) but as always, my eyes were bigger than my tummy so I ended up ordering 2-taco plates. One taco is birria and the other taco is lengua. Their rice and beans are nice, I wish it could be a bit spicy (beans) but it's still flavorful and cheesy! the tacos were a bit soggy but I still enjoyed it. I wished I ordered quesabirria instead but I suppose I will wait until next time. The horchata was very sweet but refreshing, and you could refill it with only $1! I ended up refilling it with some pina but it ended up being too sweet as well.. Their chips station was filled with many varieties of salsa and I could never be happier... The salsa station was clean and refreshing. Their salsa itself was very nice and I enjoyed the flavor so much! I will definitely come back someday. read more

A great place to go is El burrito Taqueria in Auburn. We usually make a pitstop for gas and we're pleasantly surprised with the quality of the vegetarian burrito. It was large and a good value and not filled up with rice like sometimes happen. We also enjoyed the chicken enchilada plate. Everything came out super hot, even though we went through the drive-through the strawberry Agua Fresca was delicious. read more

We actually Door Dashed El Burrito. We live in Foresthill and it's one of the only places that will deliver here. The food was 5 stars. I had a crispy chili verde taco and a soft chicken taco. My husband had the carnitas burrito. We also got a side of refried beans and they gave us chips and salsa. Everything tasted so good and was perfectly put together for a delivery order. We will definitely get it again :) read more

The Tesla chargers are located behind the restaurant. Their service was fast and the food tasted great. The establishment was super clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. I would recommend this place to everyone. read more

Based on the reviews we saw, my husband and I decided to try El Burrito's breakfast burritos. First off, the lady working the front was extremely pleasant. And their burritos did not disappoint! My husband had the chorizo, and I had the carnitas (no rice or beans, not for me for a breakfast burrito). The burritos were huge and sooo tasty. Loved the addition of sour cream and tomatillo - made it moist and even more flavorful. I also liked it that the potatoes were on the smaller side so they did not overcome everything else. I am a huge snob when it comes to carnitas, having been raised on carnitas from Carnitas Michoacan in Gilroy. Carnitas should not be bland, roasted pork. It should be cooked in lard and have a salty, rich flavor, some carmelization, and crispy bits. That is exactly what I got from El Burrito. Heavenly. We will defiitely be back. Husband is looking forward to trying their lengua and tripes. read more

A nice little local taqueria featuring classic Mexican taqueria selections, including tacos, burritos, combo plates, salsa bar and seafood options. You walk in and order at the counter, where food will then be brought to your table. Plenty of booth seating, and good service. Excellent birria tacos and micheladas. read more

Returned to this spot on the way home, and their getting better. Chile Verde Super Burrito Wet was yum. Try it. Wife had the Carne Asada super Burrito. $3 upcharge for Carne Asada, which wasn't worth it with all the grissel (not edible). Their stingy with their salsa. I spent $40 on 2 burritos why are you sweating me? read more

I was on my way to Awful Annie's this morning for the usual breakfast, and I just had a hankering for a breakfast burrito and something simpler. So I pulled in to El Burrito Taqueria and gave it a quick look up here on yelp. Saw great and reasonably priced breakfast burritos on the menu and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did. It's a truly authentic Mexican restaurant with an awesome salsa bar, fresh chips, and great service. I ordered the breakfast burrito number three with Carnitas and it was huge and as wonderful as it was large. I couldn't even eat it all, so took half of it home and I'm gonna enjoy it tomorrow. Definitely worth the stop on the way up to Tahoe or Reno. saw someone else ordering an early lunch with the street tacos, and I'm definitely coming back for lunch at some point on my next trip through the area. read more

This place turned out to be a great spot for lunch while we were charging our car nearby. They offer an extensive menu, and the portions are generous. We ordered a super burrito and two quesadillas, and everything tastes good and was fresh. The prices here are quite reasonable compared to taquerias in the Bay Area these days. While we were there, we noticed there were family gatherings and local lunch meetups, which gave the place a welcoming feel. We were especially impressed by the attentive service and how clean and well-maintained the restaurant is. We'll definitely come again if we're in the area next time. read more

Excellent carne asada quesadilla. Generous portion size. Will be back next time I'm passing through.

Last night, the food and service was excellent. The salsa bar was clean and well stocked. Prices were in line with other restaurants of this type. I took off a star for two reasons. First, the faucet in the men's restroom was broken and only dispensed scalding water. Too hot to wash your hands. I reported it to the counter person but it didn't appear to generate much concern. Secondly, the rubber mats by the entry door were worn and presented a trip and fall hazard. They may want to do some risk assessment here. read more

Taco the Town One of five locations for this locally-owned and operated chain of Mexican restaurants here in the Sacramento area. This location just happened to be literally just a few steps from the hotel we were staying at, and so we decided to pickup some chow to bring back to the room. The Good: *Convenient website for ordering pick-up *Drive-thru! *Friendly service *Free chips and a salsa bar for dining in patrons *Inside is really clean and inviting *Relatively inexpensive and no upcharge on the offal *Beers on draught as well as a large selection of *Ordered three tacos (Taco Tuesday) w/ various meats and their tripas (tripe) were sensational. Crispy large chunks with a nice chew and that flavor I love. The Meh: *Ordered some nachos to share, and they were kind of a cold, gloppy mess by the time we went to eat it. The takeout portion might've affected that, but it didn't help that they put way too much stuff on the nachos. *The website isn't entirely accurate for certain things like drink selection, and it can be a little confusing on some of the options. The Ugly: *My other two tacos were pretty gross, if I'm being honest. The Carne Asada (grilled beef) was more steamed than grilled, and Chile Colorado was dry as the Sahara. Conclusion: Not the best Mexican food we've had, but certainly not the worst. Some of the issues could be due to the takeout factor, but who knows. I'd probably still go again if I stayed at that Best Western again, but this time, I'd dine-in instead. read more

It's very good and not expensive. Would go there again. Ambience is basic but clean. Friendly staff.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The tacos were great and the price point was even better. Excellent service--we didn't even have to wait, as they brought our order right to the table. Plus, the salsa bar is a huge win! If you're charging your Tesla nearby, this is a necessary pit stop for a delicious, quick, and affordable meal. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for lunch and needed to charge my car. Stopped in and was a bit leery. I thought it might be one of those places that may make me regret eating there. Let me say that I was pleasantly surprised. Don't judge a book by its cover. I walk in the place is very clean and so many options on the menu. I ordered the 2 taco combination with pastor. My son ordered 3 pastor tacos. There is a salsa bar and fresh chips. We grab some and their salsa options satisfied those who weren't into the spicy and those who liked the spicy. We enjoyed our tacos. The tortillas tasted like they were freshly made. The pastor meat was very flavorful. I really enjoyed my meal. My son and I were thrilled to find another spot besides Ikedas as a place to grab food on our trips to Nevada. Definitely try it out. Good food, great service and great place. read more

Amazing!! We stopped at El Burrito Taqueria on our way to Tahoe. Personnel is friendly and restaurant was very clean. We ordered a fish taco, a shrimp taco and three quesobirria tacos. My husband's fish and shrimp tacos were so good, he ate them before I could take a picture. The quesobirria were so big and filled to the brim. Meat was so tender and the broth, I could have had it by itself. Don't forget to try the salsa bar. What really made the visit standout, was the cashier who came around to all the tables to make sure everything was to the customer's satisfaction. Skip the fast food and go to El Burrito Taqueria. read more

Combo plate with a crispy taco and an enchilada with rice and beans. Mediocre at best. You have to stand in line to order. And then they bring you your food. $24. $6.25 for a corona in a bottle that they hand to you. Ridiculous. Again, it's mediocre at best and $24 for one person to get a taco and an enchilada with rice and beans and a single beer. I'll never be back. read more

Great place. Restaurant was super clean and the couple of workers at the front were nice. The food was great and I absolutely tear up the salsa bar every time I come. read more

Very good food. Ordered the chile rellano and rice and beans lunch that also came with a soda. The rice authentic and the beans as well and the flavor of beans was delicious. I will be back to try other stuff as well. The staff are friendly and inside is clean. They also have a salsa bar that has soo many different sides to include pickled carrots and jalepenos and the 5 or so different kinds of salsa. This place is a great place to eat and service was fast as well. read more

Great spot when you're on the fly and headed back to the Bay. Good portions, friendly staff, and plenty of options. I ordered the crispy taco w ground beef The hard shell taco with ground beef. (Don't get the two confused) Carne asada taco and pork taco with a side of beans and rice (the plate is pretty hefty) Good tasting food, they have a really nice jalepeno crema salsa that I very much enjoyed. I wish there was one of these back in Oakland so I could come more often. Nos vemos en la próxima, gracias! read more

Recently went back to el burrito and their prices jumped a lot and made their food smaller in portions! Won't go back for awhile. Went to a new place on 49 and really liked it. Looks like I found a new place to go. Bummer though cause el burrito was our go to place! read more

The food was great! Great salsa bar and all you can eat chips. Lots of interesting dishes, seafood, and traditional things. Love the specialty meats they have (lengua and cabeza) . The restaurant was super clean, and the service fast and friendly. We are indoors, lots of nice bright windows and an outdoor patio as well. This is the stop! read more

Meh - nice salsa bar, very tasty chips, Jamaica was pretty good and my husband who is a burrito aficionado really liked his jumbo burrito with Carne Asada. Unfortunately, my son got two Carne Asada tacos and the meat was extremely overcooked and lacked flavor. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I got a fish taco which was breaded, and the bread was soggy. It wasn't cooked properly (seems like it had been sitting for a long time and then just slapped on the burrito without putting in the fryer to crisp up the outside). I also got a shrimp taco and the shrimp was...cringe, served rare. They are not paying attention. They are not executing properly and they are not putting care into the ingredients. I would not recommend this place. read more
