    Ground beef chimichanga with rice and bean
    Mark A.

    Me and my dad went for lunch yesterday and it was a great experience. I haven't been here in years, but it still is great. I had the ground beef chimichanga and it was as good as always. My father had the buffet and he really enjoyed it. I will be returning again soon.

    Beef Taquitos
    Catalina A.

    My husband and I were craving some authentic Mexican food & we were very pleased to find this place. The servers may not be Mexican but the cooks are definitely serving up some authentic cuisine! We started with some beef taquitos & the complimentary salsa/chips. Both were very exceptional & great. Taquitos were full of flavor and were very big. For drinks we got a spicy margarita with chamoy & tajin. This was very good, wish it was a bit stronger but nonetheless a great cocktail. I ordered the 3 birria tacos & opted out for beans. This was absolutely amazing. Decently sized and packed with full of flavor. 10/10! My husband got a burrito (I'm not sure which exact one) he enjoyed it & was surprised by the size of the burrito. We were both super full and satisfied. Moreover, our waitress was very sweet & attentive to our table. She made us feel comfortable & we enjoyed our experience here! Thanks again :)

    Wow! My husband and I just left the restaurant very impressed with their excellent service and delicious authentic Mexican food. I'm Mexican, trust me I know. I had their homemade menudo cooked to perfection and my husband had a carne asada quesadilla deliciously seasoned. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All the staff was super friendly and the atmosphere is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend Manuel's El Burrito.

    Al Pastor Tacos -- how have I never ordered these before? By far, my new menu favorite. You won't be disappointed! Thanks, Mirna, for being a great host!

    Check your charges before ordering! This is a TERRIBLE restaurant to order from!

    I'm pretty sure they purchase their burritos from the frozen food section at Walmart. Definitely didn't taste like much better quality. When you order a combo plate, don't anticipate actually receiving the combo.

    Take this place for what it is. Simple, clean and quick mom & pop Mexican joint. I was in for a quick bite during my lunch hour. In and out in around 30 minutes. Great service and small crowds. Very decent atmosphere with booths and out door seating. I'll be back. Next time, I'll try the Birria tacos. Thanks Manuel!

    We took my father in law out for lunch. He has liked this place for years. I on the other hand was unimpressed. The food is basic American style Mexican food. We ordered table side guacamole. However it wasn't table side at all. Maybe I'm confused, but table side means it is made "table side!" The guacamole had no flavor. It tasted bland, and had no jalapeños even the description said it had jalapeños. For the meal we asked if they would do one each of the tacos for a total of three different tacos. They said no we can't. Huh? So we each ordered a different taco plate and divided them among each other. The tacos were ok. The pastor tacos were too sweet. I guess this is a standard for the location, but as far as Mexican restaurants goes, I'll pass.

    Terrible food. Left to get Taco Bell, so obviously our standards aren't high. Very rude waitress.

    Well... maybe I'll give them another try after the pandemic maybe not. At least my 11 month old liked the carne asada.

A…read morelittle out of the way for me, but I'll always make the drive for a food truck concept that's leveled up to brick and mortar. The interior nails that Southern Cali college town energy with retro decor and good music at a volume where you can actually hold a conversation. Temperature was perfect, staff was warm and helpful, and the vibe overall just works. My wife and I had hoped to split a "Biggy" burrito, but our protein preferences don't overlap, so we each ended up with our own "Pee-Wee." No custom halves here, which cost us an extra $4.50 and left me feeling like we got less food total than a shared Biggy would have given us. If you have any appetite at all, size up. My steak Ol' Skool burrito was solid, though I made the mistake of going with the mild sauce. It needed more heat to really bring it together. The fries-in-the-burrito thing also isn't really my style. I'm more of a beans, rice, and fresh lime squeeze kind of guy, so I came away a little underwhelmed on that front. But that's a taste preference, not a knock on the place. Worth a visit, no question. Just come hungry, go spicy, and know whether you're a fries-in-your-burrito person before you order.
