Multiple strands of hair in our food! Do not come here. I've eaten here occasionally since before 2015. I've probably purchased burritos from El Super Burrito in Millbrae at least 20 times but this is my first visit in maybe 6 months or so. I came by today with an online order for a super burrito, California burrito, and California fries. My wife got a hair stuck in her mouth after on her 5th or 6th bite, not even 1/4 the way through the burrito. I found another hair in my California burrito about 1/4 the way through. One hair in one burrito could be an accident. Both burritos having hairs in it with less than 1/4 eaten is a pattern. We tossed both burritos and didn't even start on the California fries. Who knows how many more hairs would be found. read more

El Super Burrito is a place I frequently visit! I can't get enough of their extensive menu offerings, and even though there are occasional wait times, it's worth it. The same cashier is consistently friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall positive atmosphere. There is a lot of inside seating. My current top picks are the Birria and Camaron tacos, and I recently tried their Fajita plate, which was a solid surprise. I'll be a loyal customer, coming back for more of their yummy offerings! read more

Tried this after work one day and ordered the hardshell tacos with ground meat. The tacos were pretty good but a little on the small side, but good none the less. The salsa was good and served with my tacos along with some chips. I did find one thing odd was their assembly line to building the food. It seems to not flow and slows down the food service process. I still would go back as the California carne asada burrito looks really good. Will try it next time. read more

10/30/2024 I've eaten here a few times kind of hoping it gets better but it remains pretty average. I have yet to find really good Mexican food in the Bay Area so this place is par for the course. I had the chili verde burrito ($13.00) and it was ok. I would have it again but wouldn't go out of my way for it. I'd give 2.9 stars. read more

My review is only my first impression of this place. I have a strong opinion that quantity usually affects quality (the more choices, the less quality the dishes will be made, if we are not talking about restaurants, which usually have a whole team of cooks, but about local business of this type). This place has a large list of dishes on the menu, which always confuses customers, especially if they are visiting it for the first time. In addition, I was little frustrated with the cheese. It was salty and almost didn't stretch in my burrito, but I love cheese so much However, the ingredients were fresh and the tortilla was very tasty, but I lacked vegetables in the overall picture (surprisingly, there was plenty of shrimp). Bonus: they put nachos and sauce in for free! I think it's worth going in once more, taking another position and then making a final conclusion, because my biggest question determining the level of any place: do I want to visit it again or not? read more

3.5 Al Pastor Quesadilla Al Pastor had real pineapple which was a surprise. Maybe because my quesadilla was cold by the time I ate it it wasn't that good. Not much cheese pull. Flan is premade and not fresh. Service is slow because there's a line during dinner. Ambiance is small and intimate cafeteria ambiance. read more

Best beef fajita burrito ever. And the price, even after the COVID- 19, cannot beat it. these guys don't need no advertising, they have their like cult following. read more

The Vegetarian Burritos are amazing! The ladies behind the counter are Super Friendly! Their portions are generous- yes, a little pricey but worth it!!! read more

As someone who thoroughly enjoys tacos, quesadillas, and burritos, I can attest that this place gets it right. Pick your starting point; there's plenty to choose from on the menu. The burrito was the item of choice on my most recent visit, and I was not disappointed. A carne asada burrito was the way to go, and it was perfect. Lots of subtle tones throughout eating and not overpowering. Definitely, a must-stop if craving for something filling and quick. Excellent and attentive service and some tasty Horchata as well. You can't go wrong with the level of deliciousness. I am looking forward to getting some shrimp tacos next time. read more

Ordered for my family, not cheap for Mexican food. Went for years there, but today the wet surf and turf super burrito was BAD! Chicken was tough, and jumbo shrimps were rubbery. So disappointed. Quality is lacking freshness. read more

As a millbrae native, I've been a patron of El Super Burrito since 1997. Unfortunately, tonight I went there for the last time. I ordered two chiquito cheapo burritos via phone, the listed price online is $7.95. I went in store to pick it up my order and noticed the same item is priced at $6.50. I brought this price difference to the cashier attention and she replied with "I don't know, that price on the display is wrong." She started talking to another employee about the matter who has been there since I could remember, and that employee said that it was because I ordered guacamole. This would make sense, but the screen that shows you the items had added that as an extra. I told them the price for two should be $13 not $15.90. They both said that is the price and that there was nothing they could do. At this point the manager was summoned to the cash register. The manager, who has also been there since I could remember, asked what the problem was. I repeated what I had told the other two employees and she said that the in store price was wrong and that there was nothing she can do, and she was not polite about it either. I told her that I want to pay the lowest posted price, which is my right by law. She then told me I cannot have it for $6.50 each which was the in store price and took my burritos away. This has nothing to do with the money but everything to do with good customer service, good business practice and following the law. I have already contacted the county and left a message with them about this matter since that is what the website says to do. You can only imagine over the years how much they have overcharged people and probably do not care with the reaction that I received today. I wonder what else they could be doing? I have attached their online price, in store price, and the county consumer website for reference. The owner/s should train their employees with the necessary laws of the food industry to avoid possibly class action law suits that can occur from these type of mistakes. read more

It's just consistently great every time. Having been at this location forever also speaks volumes.

Love it!! Been eating burritos from here forever! Only thing I'm recently not happy with is their rice. I think in the last year or two they got new owners ( a friend who says she knew the last owners or knows the present ) and since then I don't really like the rice in the burritos. But I'll always go there. read more

The food is good, but it's a gamble if you get the correct order. Today, I ordered a fajita steak burrito and received a fajita chicken burrito. This has happened before and the restaurant was not busy today. Now, it's time to take a break a try a different place. I never order chicken burritos, ever. read more

Come here for their wet burritos! The quesadillas are also legit. The super quesadillas are more like burritos rather than your traditional quesadilla. Think of it as a pan fried burrito. Since moving to the Bay, my husband and I have been here a handful of times. Service can be a bit slow, but the food is always satisfying and they're generous with their salsas and chips. My husband enjoys their super nachos. I usually get the al pastor taco or wet burrito. You can choose from many burritos, each with its mix of ingredients. Usually it's a combination of meat with veggies and sauces - sour cream or guac, etc. If you want to douse it with sauce, then it's an extra $1.50 to make it wet. Their tacos are bigger than your average, so one is enough for me. I'll get a wet burrito and taco because I can never settle for only one item. That's boring. You can also order sides like jalapenos, beans, rice, etc! Their horchata pairs excellent with everything. read more

If you're looking for a local taqueria with big flavors and generous portions, El Super Burrito is it! Their chalet is unique and easy to spot on northbound El Camino in Millbrae, across the street from Safeway. Highly recommend you call ahead and place your order over the phone cuz they're always busy, regardless of the day or time. Especially during covid, since everything is available to-go only. Line up to the left to place your order. Credit cards accepted. And get yourself a horchata or agua fresca to sip on while you wait for your order # to be called up. Lots of taquerias now charge for chips and salsa but they're still complimentary here. The Usual: Carne Asada Super Burrito for the hubbz; Acapulco Burrito with hella prawns and fajita veggies (secret menu, get it wet! slathered in red enchilada sauce). This forearm sized burrito lasts me two meals - loaded with grilled veggies and a plethora of prawns. Crispy chicken tacos and/or quesadillas for our picky eater never fail. read more

Went in at noon on a Saturday and it was completely empty. I should have taken that for the red flag it was. Asked for 2 El Camino burritos with grilled chicken and avocado instead of guacamole, one without salsa. Both came with dry bland boiled/shredded chicken. One with guacamole one with nothing, both with salsa. Terrible service, bad food read more

I love this place! So thankful they are still open for take out during the pandemic.. I usually get the grilled chicken burrito, which is actually very good! Their chicken is always juicy and delicious! However this time, I wanted something different. I ended up going with the steak fajitas plate. It was so delicious! it came with Spanish rice, refried beans, fajitas steak, bell peppers, onions & pico de Gallo with a side of 5 corn tortillas. The steak was a bit over cooked but still tasty! I will definitely get this plate again! read more

El Super Burrito - Steak Fajitas plate - Mexican Near Me - Millbrae, California

My husband and I used to order the burritos and nachos from El Super Burrito all the time! Everything was always so fresh! Ordering took only few minutes and you were on your way.! We moved out of the area and really missed our weekly super burrito night! We'd share this place as the place to get an outstanding burrito (our favorite) for a reasonable price to anyone and everyone. Unfortunately this last visit was such a disappointment... we ordered super burritos (beef/chicken and pork); super nachos (beef); Birria Tacos. The beef was dry and didn't have a lot of flavor, the birria tacos did not have much flavor either. Our order took a long time. While we waited we watched customers come and go (probably phone or online orders), though I saw someone clear tables no one wiped any down. Maybe it was an off day(Tuesday). If it was then I hope things are better. While we waited we chatted with the customers - (very friendly), however I don't think we will be returning there soon. read more

My steak tostada was delicious. My favorite place! Order the El Camino! Yummy! Very generous servings!

Traveling to new areas for work is fun but challenging considering at the end of the day u stay in a room hoping to have gd food near by and I've had sme interesting moments today wasn't the case this burrito exceeded my expectations I got the asada rice beans wit the fixings and made it wet it was very gd and was alot bigger than expected I ddnt even finish it definitely remembering this place !! read more

I enjoy their burritos. The shrimp & steak is my favorite. Carbs were a concern for me so I eliminated the rice & the burrito is was still very good. One time they made a mistake and eliminated the rice & beans, so it was just bell peppers, shrimp & steak. It was still good & huge. A great mistake! One thing I really like, the workers wear gloves. read more

Working in SFO, I found this place on a walk to Trader Joe's... it was a little hard to order as I don't think the lady spoke English but we worked it out. It's a decent size burrito, I ordered the fajita burrito with steak... I'm still looking for the steak?? It had maybe 2 pieces. It comes with chips and a salsa but again I had asked for salsa verde and got salsa roja???? read more

El Super Burrito - Ready for a big burrito! - Mexican Near Me - Millbrae, California

This was the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. I ordered a super burrito w/ chicken, and 2 tacos - Birria taco, and a super taco w/ chicken. The Birria taco came with its sauce that was incredibly tasty, I wanted to bring the leftover home! For $5.90 each birria taco, I would definitely order MULTIPLE of these next time. It was the best thing I had from this visit. We arrived on a Saturday for an early lunch ~ 12:30pm. The dining area was filled with people who had ordered take-out. The kitchen and grill looked busy! So I recommend ordering ahead of time - I believe you can order on their website. Our number got called within 15 minutes, the wait was worth it, and we ate in the restaurant. You can immediately tell this has been a long-time establishment based on its exterior and interior design. There have been times when I drove by and the parking lot was full. I'm glad I finally tried El Super Burrito, will definitely be back! read more

I am convinced there are under new ownership and their food is better. It's funny but the employees even look happier. I was used to coming here and the place felt like a sauna Now the fans are going and the AC is on, on hot days. I'm sure that's one of the reasons why the employees seem happier. If you haven't come here in a while, you got to come back. I feel the food is better and it's a better experience eating here all around. My go to's, are the super tacos, the California burrito, the carnitas burrito (good carnitas), the ceviche, super nachos and the flauta burrito. If you like a spicy salsa, ask for some of their hot sauce. It's fire read more

Says open and allows to place online order but it's closed an hour before closing time. On a Friday night

Great food and service, burritos are huge. The California burrito had everything you need and it was great.

This place is pretty awesome! I usually do takeout and call in my order, and the person who answers the phone is always super speedy and friendly. My order is ready in a flash, and because I live close by, I can grab it in no time. When I swing by to pick it up, the employees are always on it, grabbing my food from the warmer right away. I love seeing so many folks bustling around the prep table - it really feels like I'm supporting a local business. And the food quality is spot on - the meat is juicy and flavorful, with none of that gross chewy fat. Overall, I'm a super happy camper when it comes to this spot. I always order the carne asada quesadilla. read more

El Super Burrito - Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Millbrae, California

Well that was a rather caucasian experience. Maybe I'm just used to San Jose tacos. I got 6 tacos: 2 chicken, 2 steak, and 2 Al pastor. 1 of the tacos was given for free. 2 sets of chips and 2 containers of salsa were added to my bag for free; great start! The good: The staff was friendly and pleasant. Al Pastor meat was flavorful. Portions are good, maybe even great. Chips are authentic and made out of real tortillas, seemed to have been made in-house. The not so good: No beer. Maybe some silly Millbrae ordinance I'm not aware of? And no salsa picante; actually no salsa choices at all. Pico de gallo (80% chopped tomato) on every taco, and tomato sauce from a can given as the side to the real chips. The "Authentic Mexican Tacos" were not like tacos Mexicanos I was expecting. Tortillas were doubled up but not very toasted, became soggy by the time I sat down at a table and of course fell apart, chopped tomato everywhere, almost no onion or cilantro. Grilled chicken seemed kind of unseasoned and steak didn't seem to have been marinated or anything. There was an older white gentleman sitting nearby me talking on his phone saying "We should sue him, he has it out of us rich folks". Not sure he understood the irony of his own statement, but it quickly summed up the local demographic for me. Giving 4 stars because I don't want to bring down their rating and because I was pleasantly surprised by the real tortilla chips. Did I eat all of it? Yes. Did I get full? Yes. Will I be coming back? Yes, for tacos pastor and to try the red sauced chicken. Might ask if they have grilled chiles too. read more

New owners ? The man stationed at the front register on Sundays is rude ! I tried to ask for something and he rudely stated he couldn't hear me (maybe it's because you have an AirPod in your ear)? Since when did it become ok to wear headphones when you're doing customer service ? When I reported an issue with my order, he replied something to the effect of - so what do you want to do ? I miss the regular staff who is here on Sundays. Please re-assign him . read more

I love el super burrito! I have been coming here with my boyfriend for 4 years now. Since we are both in college, we make sure that whenever we are in the area, that we have time to stop by! The food usually comes out quick, unless there are tons of people. The place itself is very cute with murals on the walls. The staff are very kind and the one time in 4 years they got my order wrong, they happily fixed it without any fuss! Thank you el super burrito! read more

**This review is during the COVID-19 guidelines for indoor dining. My dad has been coming here for years and always orders the same thing--the El Camino Burrito. And occasionally the California Burrito. He swears by those two menu items and literally won't go anywhere else for Mexican food. So, safe to say, it's five stars in his book. I haven't been here in a hot sec, so here's my review on what I ordered: Food: 4/5 I originally ordered the fajitas plate with chicken, but I guess they misheard and gave me steak instead. The plate comes with a large portion of steak fajitas (w/ green peppers and onions) served with rice, refried beans, pico de gallo, and a few corn tortilla wraps, along with house-made tortilla chips on the side. It was tasty, filling, and not too salty, but I wish the plate had a bit more seasoning. I'm not a big red meat person, but I thought their steak was pretty decent; the texture wasn't too soft or too rubbery except for a few pieces. I also tried their horchata, which was a tad bit sweet for my liking, but was refreshing nonetheless. Service: 4/5 The service was pretty good! The food didn't take long to prepare, and everyone was friendly and wearing masks and gloves. I wish they got my order right though, but it's not a big deal. They've been here for years and they seemed to be receiving a lot of orders, so I'm glad they've been able to survive through the pandemic. tl;dr: Come here for large, filling portions that will probably last you two or three meals. Also, support your local small businesses! read more

I have to say this is one of the best Taco place , and is my first time to order to go. The taco was good , the taste , portion was fulfilling , the only thing I don't like is the steak texture. I like my steak with more texture rathe than soft . But is one of the choices my neighborhood . Everything else , salsa , lettuce and guacamole was very fresh , every bite was fresh. My Nacho , I ordered the California , which they used French fries instead of chips , it was a huge portion and I wasn't able to finished. The fries went soggy after a while once I had the taco first. Will not order that again , but will def order the taco again next time . read more
