We love this small, family- owned Mexican restaurant. The owners are welcoming and pleasant. The food is amazing. My wife and two friends had burritos which were excellent and I opted for a cheese enchilada. I am a cheese enchilada snob and this is one of the best around.: soft, gooey and sauced with an exceptional orange-colored sauce. I could eat a bowl of the sauce all by itself. Most restaurants serve enchiladas with a red chile sauce which I usually find bitter - not so here. The salsa bar has interesting salsas and thin, crisp tortilla chips. We highly recommend this great little restaurant. read more

Cannot for the life of me understand how or why this place gets such good reviews for the bland flavorless and overly expensive food. Although the woman at the counter was pleasant we could have just went to taco bell... absolutely nothing authentic here. That said I think by the reviews a lot of locals like it. read more

Great food with even better customer service. All of our questions about the menu were answered and they helped recommend choices for our son and us. She recommended tri-tip carne asada and carnitas as the house favorites and we agreed. Fresh food, fair prices, great customer service and clean interior = we found a gem we will return to and recommend to others. read more

My wife and I went here today as we it is out must go to spot when in Auburn. Lori and Jose are the sweetest people and the food was amazing as always. The special was Jalisco tacos with oregano sauce. My family is from the region so I ordered them and they were so amazingly delicious. The oregano sauce was just like my mom used to make. Generous portions on the carne asada . They were so good. My wife got the grilled chicken burrito because she always does. Delicious! We have had the carne asada burrito, carnitas burrito and other dishes. All amazing! The refried beans are awesome and their home made salsas are a perfect complement to whatever you order. Every time we go here the service and hospitality is excellent and so is the food. Highly recommend whenever you are in Auburn. They are closed Sunday and Monday. Thank you Lori and Jose for being so dedicated to great service and excellent food. Hondo and Julie read more

The food is always fresh and the restaurant is clean, this is our goto place for Mexican food.

Love this place! Finally found my go to for a quick burrito after a long day of errands. The two ppl that run it are friendly and just lovely, made me feel welcome in a new area for me. The taqueria is clean, large menu and quick service. We get the gigante carnitas burrito, it's smothered in red sauce and cheese. Everything about it is flavorful, the sauce has a hint of cinnamon, the carnitas is fresh and not tough, when the rice is good, there's even a good amount of guac on it. They have a green guac salsa that's really tasty and their red is delicious and very mild. I've only tried a few things from here, but I've been impressed by the freshness and flavor each time. Save yourself some trouble after grocery shopping, pick up some food from little hole on the wall, and let nice people cook for you. read more

They were all delicious. My husband said it may have been the best burrito he had ever eaten' highly recommend! read more

Best ever....never miss a chance to stop here. Great people, great place and great food.

After a beautiful afternoon exploring the tulip gardens at Crystal Hermitage, my friends and I were absolutely starving and looking for a solid spot to grab a meal before making the hour-and-a-half drive back to Sacramento. We searched Yelp and came across Flaming Burrito Grill, which had an impressive 4.5-star rating--and it was just a short drive from where we were. When we pulled in, parking was a breeze thanks to the large lot. The restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived, but we were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in. It has a cozy, family-owned feel, and I believe the owners--a husband and wife--were the ones helping us. They were super friendly, accommodating, and took time to walk us through the menu and adjust a few things to our liking. Here's what we ordered: * My friend got the taco salad * I went for the super nachos with chicken, and added fresh serrano peppers (a spicy game-changer!) * Another friend got carne asada nachos * And someone else ordered the two taco plate with chicken, steak, rice, and pinto beans Everything came out quickly, piping hot, and packed with flavor. The ingredients were fresh, portions generous, and the seasoning was on point. We all cleaned our plates and left feeling full and happy. This spot is definitely going on our favorites list--next time we're hiking or exploring nearby, Flaming Burrito Grill will be a must-stop. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving something tasty, fresh, and made with love! read more

AMAZING!!! Seriously don't choose any other place and just go get their Carne Asada with anything. I ordered the carne asada plate and it had beans, guacamole, rice, pico de gallo, chips and salsa and tortillas. Everything was FANTASTIC!!!! You order at the counter, grab a seat and the wonderful owner and her husband serves you. Everything is mad fresh on the premises. It's soooo good that I'm writing this at 10:21pm and I could go for a bit more. Thank you for a clean, delicious and memorable experience. Will be back for sure!!! read more

Flaming Burrito Grill - Carne Asada Plate - all was perfection. - Mexican Near Me - Auburn, California

In a world full of chain restaurants, places like Flaming Burrito deserve to be celebrated. If you are anywhere near Auburn and have not been here yet, you are seriously missing out. This is the kind of local gem people hope to find -- amazing food, wonderful people, and a meal you will be thinking about long after you leave. I ordered the Tenaya Burrito, and honestly, it was one of the best burritos I have ever had. It came as a wet burrito covered in the most incredible enchilada mole sauce. I was raving to my husband (who got the gigante), throughout the meal, at how impressive the flavors were - rich, yet perfectly balanced, and completely unforgettable. The salsas were just as impressive -- fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every part of the meal felt homemade and thoughtfully prepared, not just thrown together. The owners are some of the sweetest people, so attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a great experience. Also - cash is king people! read more

Had a delicious carnitas burrito, with the right mixture of rice cheese & meat. Carnitas was grilled, so it had a nice crunch to it. Came with fresh chips & I asked for the mild & hot salsa both we're good. Attentive service, gal running the show, saw I needed an extra napkin & brought it over before I asked. Will return & try some of the other items. read more

I've been hearing about the flaming burrito so figured I would try it. I was greeted by a friendly employee as I walked in. From the front of the restaurant it looks small but once inside there are several tables to sit and have your meal. We ordered their wet burrito and their chicken enchilada plate and I can tell you both were very good. Prices were average but the food was worth it. Will definitely be going back. read more

Only in town for 8 days. Staying at the gold country rv park. A few nights ago I was looking for a burrito. Found flaming burrito. I am so happy I did. Had a carne asada burrito.

What a gem! I needed a spot between my parent's house and mine to meet up with them and was craving tacos. The food was delicious. The staff were so nice and helpful. Even my picky children devoured their tacos and rice. We look forward to coming back! read more

Great good !! Excellent carne asada and good beans and rice. Chips are great too! Yum yum

Food was flavorful and ingredients seemed fresh. Owners were very pleasant and accommodating with our whole plant based needs openly sharing what dishes best fit our needs. It's also said that a good indicator of a clean restaurant is a clean bathroom. If that's true, this restaurant had the cleanest bathroom...just plain clean including no toxic air freshener or Clorox type smell. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Very clean and inviting restaurant. They check to make sure you are content with salsa and food served. Very polite staff. Great food !! read more

Flaming Burrito Grill - Carnitas plate - Mexican Near Me - Auburn, California

Boy, this is the place for one of the tastiest burritos I've ever had. The carne Asada has the best flavor of any burrito shop in the Auburn area. It's family owned and the service is great.

Excellent food every time we visit. Try the beer battered fish tacos! Recommended :) read more

We've been coming here for a few months and at first the food tasted great and full of flavor. But the last few times have tasted off. Our last visit wasn't as good as we hoped. My partner had steak tacos and the meat was salty and over cooked and veggie burrito was bland. Don't get me wrong the owners (I assume) are great and friendly people. I really wished it would have stayed the same when we first started coming here. read more

Out of the many Mexican food options in Auburn, this spot it my favorite. The food is delicious, and the owners and employees are incredible.

I catered my husband's celebration of life and the food was dynamite. All my guests were raving! The food was fresh and the bonus was the added napkins, serving utensils and guest utensils Such a great deal on a high quality meal with chips and salsa before hand. Will order again and again. We had carnitas, which were crispy and juicy and the Asada. So so good. Beans were creamy and rice was great and not dry. Best Mexican is Auburn! read more

This place is solid! When I crave a burrito especially when I am in this parking lot this is where I go. The tortilla is always good, the chicken is pretty good quality and everytime I finish every bite. The lady working the front is always very friendly, making sure I am happy with my food. I don't always get the free chips and salsa but when I do it is yummy. Warm crisp chips and pretty good salsa. The inside is a little older but it is always clean which is all that matters to me. Can't wait to come back. read more

Flaming Burrito Grill - Mexican Near Me - Auburn, California

Flaming Burrito Grill is a rare find for a Mexican food enthusiast. Walking in the door the aroma of something delicious hits your senses. The vegetables were fresh, the grilled steak and carnitas perfectly prepared. It's just a small place but welcomes you with its authentic ambiance. I ordered the steak burrito the first time. It was very spicy just as the menu said it would be. Served with amazing tortilla chips, fresh guacamole, and fresh salsa. My next visit I chose the wet steak burrito. It was less spicy but equally delicious. I highly recommend this hidden gem of a restaurant. read more

Get the carnitas. I had the taco - best I've ever had. Stopped here on a whim after a 6-mile hike, so glad we did. It was delicious.

Hole in the wall. Service extraordinary. Typically Mexican food quality deteriorates the farther you get from Mexico. So NorCal can seldomly compete with my SoCal favorites. FBG does and completes the task very unassumingly. I've been back 3x and will keep coming. read more
