I was in the mood for some crispy taco's the past week and didn't want to drive to my normal spot in east Los Angeles. El Super Burrito is a few minutes close to my house and I pass by this place a few times a week. I had heard from a couple of people it was good. I ordered two crispy taco's, pork and chicken, and a side of taquitos. Overall, the taco's were pretty good and tasty although I noticed the taco shells seemed to be pre-made. They were crispy but the same form and shape. The other place I normally go to, their shells are different shape because they deep fry them. But, like I said they were good. Plenty of meat, shredded lettuce, tomato, and cheese served with more lettuce and slices of jalapeno's. The taquitos were good too and served with plenty of guacamole. There's plenty of parking, places to sit, and order time/pick up time took just a few minutes. read more

El Super Burrito - An order of two (2) hard shell taco's and a side order of taquitos. - Mexican Near Me - Pasadena, California

My favorite spot for a classic bean and cheese burrito and a Mexican Coke!!! What's there to not love, creamy, warm refried beans, cheddar cheese, wrapped in a flour tortilla with crunchy chips. That red sauce is pure perfection along with the slightly grilled jalapenos really hits all those comfort spots. Its a Cash Only location right on Colorado Blvd and just a block from Rosemead. If you are in the Pasadena area, this is an off the beaten path must go to place!!! El Super Burrito, only the best Mexican spot in all of Pasadena!!! read more

Super burrito is super delicious!! I was craving a chorizo breakfast burrito and tried one down the street at a place that rhymes with the word STOPS ahem and it was greasy and flavorless. Holy moly was the flavor bomb here sooo different. Great ratio of potatoes with beans and chorizo. Granted I could only finish half the burrito because it was the size of a new born baby but it was delicious!! Such authentic flavors I can't wait to eat through the rest of the menu! read more

The Super Burrito is amazing and the house combo is also very delicious. I had the chicken and the carne asada and preferred the carne asada. The beans were tasty and the meat was nice and tender and not much fatty pieces either. Great place for a working lunch. The food was prepared quickly despite the long lunch time, food was out within 10 minutes. There is outdoor seating, plenty of benches to sit on. read more

Are you kidding me? $4.50 for a glass bottle of Mexican soda? (Coke, Fanta) Just under 14 minute wait after ordering. It looks like each order is freshly created. Food served steaming hot. Flavors were good but average at best. Service - friendly Large portions read more

Got the breakfast burrito, and the place is really cool and nice. Was the burrito my favorite... ehh like it's decent and very filling. I think their regular burritos hit more. But still worth the try. Friendly people and cool outdoor seating. read more

Lovely out door dinning area. Sopes were off the hook with plenty of meat and toppings. We ordered a carne Pasadena with beans in a burrito. Also a chili reyano burrito covered with a great sauce. Chips and several small cups of two different salsas included. $40.00 average for eating out this days. read more

I really liked this place!!! CASH ONLY Place!! Be prepared for that. The food was flavorful. Only outside seating. Service was nice.i loved that they gave us grilled jalapeños and chips with both orders. That was a good deal. A must try when in the area! read more

Great hole on the wall Mexican food. Their burrito is huge and yummy. Love this place!

Well, I'd like to start off by saying that I've been coming here for years now. It may not be the best, but in a pinch, this place hits the spot for a quick fix on you Mexican food cravings. I like the staff, and I had a chance to meet the owner. He's a very nice man. Also, there's outside seating only, so don't expect to be inside and waited on. All in all, pretty decent place with decent food. Take care, and see you there! read more

Hey $20 for a drink and a verde burrito not so great. Burrito was big with enough meat but where was the verde? That's the essence of a verde burrito is the verde sauce. For $15 I expected to see verde. So with this lack of ingredient you earned a bad review. El super burrito will be there for years but don't order the verde burrito. read more

All there Food Great for 20 plus years. My Go to food on a cold or rainy day Cosido soup Delicious Everything here Good Including the Service read more

Note that most of the positive reviews are super old. I just paid $17.50 for a machaca "breakfast" burrito. I had to pay extra for cheese (weird for a breakfast burrito). It also didn't come with any of the eggs or potatoes it was supposed to have that I could find. I added guacamole and there was maybe a single tablespoon of it in the corner of the burrito. It was 90% just beans and extra greasy machaca wrapped in a tortilla. And entirely flavorless. My first warning should have been that it was noon on a weekday and no one was waiting in line. Adding a single star because the guy working the front was friendly. This was my first and last visit. read more

Tacos were good at $1.50 a taco. I got the chicken and the Asada. They had a nice green salsa and spicy red salsa. The peppers they provide are decent. read more

First off, customer service was great! The lady gave us a little time to read through the menu and figure out our lives. She was very polite. This is all outdoor seating w/ a decent amount of tables. We actually took the food to-go this time. We ordered a carnitas quesadilla (forgot to take a picture) and 2 orders of taquitos w/ extra side of rice and beans. Everything had decent flavor. I wished they'd put a little more cheese on the taquitos and provided more salsa. We only got 4 little containers - 2 red and 2 green. read more

My husband and I love this place so much that we almost took our engagement pics here (it closed during the beginning of Covid)!! Their mini breakfast burritos and tacos (carne asada and el pastor) are soo delicious!! Chips and salsa comes with the orders too. We usually order to go so when we dined in, we saw there barely were any chips on the plate. However, when we requested more, they gave us a plate full!! Today was perfect weather for dining in the shade but outside with the breeze. I always love the little tiny chickadee birds that are near the bridge garden area. So cute! It adds to the environment and they do a good job decorating as well! Love this place and recommend it for affordable and delicious tacos! Side note: I believe it is cash only read more

The breakfast burritos are my favorite here, and the outdoor patio dining makes it a nice spot to sit and eat. Also recommend the horchata.

Amazing food place authentic Mexican food pretty good food if you ask me you should definitely go there and check it out.

Wow! This place is my new low-key secret for Taco tuesdays. Tacos are $1.50 each on Tuesdays instead of their $2 price. Tacos are pretty big, and they already come with onions and cilantro (which you can ask to omit). They give you salsa in a small cup, but you can always ask them for more. They even include some tortilla chips. I really liked the lengua, which was slow braised and kind of melt in your mouth. The asada was great as well, but the lengua took the spotlight. Super juicy where when I took a bite the juices dripped onto the other tacos -- sharing the wealth lol read more

Great food. Cash only place but they have ATM . Prices is really good for quality. There is no interior it's just a outside patio . Crew are great. They listen to you when you ask for customizing your burrito. Dogs are welcome since it's an outdoor patio. Now the food! That burrito melted on your mouth. It's a non wet burrito but soft enough to not chock on it. It has great amount of meat and egg in it instead of potato and cheese. That is value for me. The taste was great and it was high temperature (hot) but I had to wait . Overall great place to hang out and have burrito or any food . Open till 10 pm . read more

My original review is pretty silly. El Super Burrito is a shop I still frequent when I visit family. Most recently, I visited twice in September and October 2021. Both times were consistent with my previous experiences--the food is always delicious. This last trip, my aunt and I shared the Chilaquiles. Every time I go, I worry there won't be enough food and I usually over order with supplemental mini breakfast burritos. This trip, I risked it all and just ordered the plate for the two of us. I was worried but as soon as it was ready, my worries dissipated. There was the perfect amount of food for my aunt and I, and I was grateful for not feeling like I had to be rolled out of their patio. One thing I hadn't noticed in September is that they have a new menu board. I cannot say for sure if they raised prices, but they have (and reasonably so!). It's still cash only. Every trip is enjoyable and I plan to continue to visit. read more

We stopped here for a bite to eat before heading to the Huntington library. Hubby and I split a chorizo breakfast burrito which was filling and tasty. Our daughter had a bean and cheese burrito. Both burritos were hot and filled to the brim. The salsa was hot and good. The service was friendly and fast, and although we took our order to go, the seating area was clean. I would definitely stop here again when in Pasadena. Thank you, El Super Burrito! read more

Good food at a decent price. Nice staff. Outdoor seating. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

I've always loved the tacos here. Been a loyal customer for ten years. I ate here today for Taco Tuesday, super yummy. I love their salsa, chilies and juice lemons. Service is very efficient and friendly. Outside patio is nicely decorated and comfortable to eat at. Next time I'd like to try the soup. read more

This is by for the driest cold burrito, outside of a frozen burrito that I've ever had. Cheese wasn't melted. No salsa in the bag or burrito. I would not recommend this place. Also in 2024, it is cash only. The service was dry. This place is not a vibe. Exceedingly poor service. read more

I've past the location thousands of times and finally gave it a go and what a pleasent surprise! Ordered a couple of asada taco's, bean and cheese burrito, and a chicken burrito as well they were all solid choices and tasted great, but remember to bring cash as that's all they accept. read more

This review is about 2 years overdo and much deserved. My partner and I live about 5 minutes from this gem so it quickly became our go to for nights we don't feel like cooking. As the old saying goes, never judge a book by it's cover. The customer service here is top notch. huge shout out to Ericka for her always great customer service. Anytime we see them at the window, we get a little grin on our face because they are extremely helpful, friendly, and pleasant they are. Now, let's talk about the food. To start, I find the pricing of this place to be extremely reasonable, considering inflation has been a hot topic on everybody's mind. The quality of the food exceeds the modest price point. My go to is the Bean and Cheese burrito with rice. The beans are some of the best I've had in the area. In the past I've tried several different plates such as the potato tacos, the super burrito, and a few other more niche dishes and I've never left disappointed. My partner, who grew up around very authentic Mexican food, raves about the birria, soft tacos, and torta. The salsa, particularly the green, is extremely flavorful without being overwhelmingly spicy. El Super Burrito is cash only, but offers an ATM on site, parking is very easy, and I feel the crowd is never overwhelming where you are sitting waiting for your food for extended periods of time. This is a gem of a restaurant and is sure to become a staple on those days you just don't feel like cooking. If I could leave 6 stars I would. read more

El Super Burrito - Outside Patio - Mexican Near Me - Pasadena, California

This place charges more than the actual menu price. Ordered an asada super burrito which is $12.75 plus tax and was asked to pay $15.21. $12.75 plus sales tax comes out to $14.06 not $15.21. In addition they do not provide a receipt. Will not be returning to this place due to their shady hidden fees. read more

I stopped by for lunch and was satisfied over all with my food. When I eat out I topically don't eat Mexican food because as a Mexican I eat that on a daily bases at home and then I start comparing to my home made food. I had a carne asada burrito and it did not disappoint. I asked for my beef to be well done and they took the time to get it right. It was a big burrito too. Staff is nice. When in the area I will definitely consider coming back here. read more

This was one of my moms favorite restaurants, and so she wanted to take her best friend to enjoy some breakfast. This happened this past Thursday, my mom and her friend were enjoying some breakfast and were having a conversation and were laughing. I don't know who complained, but a man working at the restaurant approached my mom and her friend and told them they were too loud and that people were trying to eat their meal in peace. This is absolutely mean, IF they were actually really loud, then the person should have phrased it differently but instead he singled them out in front of other customers. My mom was not expecting to be treated like this, especially at a restaurant like this one. They've never been treated like this before. So if you want to come and enjoy a good conversation with your friends, don't come here cause they'll tell you, you're too loud. read more
