Mission Burrito in Winnetka has very basic set up. Get in line, belly up to the counter, order, pay. Take the tray provided with utensils, cup, napkins to an open table. But go to the Salsa Bar along the way to get 4 different kinds: Salsa Verde and 3 Salsas Rojas. Interior seems austere like a monastery decorated with framed pictures of various Mexican themes. No Mariachi, Norteño, Son music to set a more festive mood which may be good for being better able to hear conversations more clearly. Booth seating, tables & chairs as well as outdoor patio dining facing busy Van Owen Street. 1) I ordered the Giant Burrito since I wanted to take it home for one less meal to cook. The protein of choice was my favorite, al Pastor which is pork slathered with a red chile spice rub and slow flamed with pineapple to tenderize and sweeten the meat. The leathery, flour Tortilla is filled with mostly soft, fluffy, starchy, slightly earthy Frijoles de Pinto, good slug of sour cream, scattering of arroz/rice, small chunks of tomato, grated cheddar cheese, bit of fresh Salsa Roja which has mild piquancy. Couldn't sense the soupçon of guacamole. Overall, a satisfying $12.95 Burrito and more than enough for two meals so it is a deal! May not be the ultimate Burrito like the Burrito de Chile Relleno at Tortillería Azteca, but that's in East Los, an hour away in heavy L.A. traffic. 1a) Horchata here is rather rich with puréed rice being more viscous and hint of Mexican vainilla. Very sweet which can be tamed by adding more ice from the drink dispenser. Swirls of Canela/powdered cinnamon can be seen against the transparent cup giving off an aromatic woody, warm spiciness. Also, the lady at the register was kind and accommodating helping me with the order and offering to help me with logistics. Burrito was 3+ stars, but the kind service ups it to 4 stars. ¡Muchísimas Gracias! read more

I remember going to Mission Burrito at the Van Nuys location years ago since I lived down the street. When I'd get home from school in the afternoons my bus stop was near Kester and Vanowen. I'd stop in and grab food. I honestly didn't even realize they were still around throughout the Valley. Anyways, I ended up going to the location on Vanowen and Corbin and the tacos were literally the same, if not better than I remember from the early 2000s. I got the taco plate with two crunchy tacos, two shredded beef tacos, plus rice and beans on the side so good. This location was really big and great for big family or friends gatherings. and I'd never been to this one before. I have been to the West Hills though the one on Victory about a month ago and they have another location off Roscoe and fallbrook. It was very nostalgic and still really great. The salsa is amazing, the service not gonna lie, it was just OK. read more

I stopped in for a little Friday solo lunch date and decided to treat myself to the shrimp tacos. They were delicious and felt like the perfect choice for the day. I noticed they also have a Fajita Friday special for just $13, so I'm already looking forward to trying that on my next visit. I really like the setup here, where you order at the counter and then get to just relax while they bring the food to your table. The space has plenty of indoor seating and TVs playing sports, which gives it a lively but comfortable vibe. The staff was genuinely kind and welcoming, and my food came out at just the right pace, so I never felt rushed. Overall, it was such a nice little spot to treat myself, and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Mission Burrito - Mission Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Rude! This is only for service. It's not about the food....because they wouldn't sell us any. We walked in 40 mins before their advertised closing time (which is 9p). They ignored us for a few minutes clearly hoping we'd get the hint. Then the kid asked if our order was to go. I said we'd prefer to eat in. He went to ask his manager. The manager came and said they're closing at 8:30 tonight because they only had two customers in the last hour and it was time to go home. I mentioned their closing time of 9p and he pretty much said 'not tonight'. Not very customer service oriented. Disappointing. I think they may have lost these customers forever. read more

The food has great quality and flavor , service is quick and friendly when eating there or take out . Decoration is nice , has a lot space and salsa bar . read more

Delicious food. I couldn't believe that the prices were so low. I ordered a veggie burrito, added shredded beef and it was still under $14. The burrito was gigantic, delicious, and enough for two to share. Order at the counter find a seat and they will bring it to your table. read more

Looks great menu description said grilled chicken and they put a soupy chicken stew and the tostada is so soggy so disappointing and the cashier gladly takes your order and requests and leaves you waiting. Very annoying THIS PLACE USE TO BE GOOD read more

Food is absolutely AMAZING!!! Staff is always friendly and helpful! I am from Texas and recently moved here and love love love Mexican food. This is by far the closest I've had to home. I've ordered almost everything on the menu, but I would seriously recommend the steak fajitas and the chili Colorado ! The Salsa is wonderful! Prices are unbelievable! read more

Great Mexican food spot if you're in the valley. Their giant burrito is my go to and recommend getting their shredded beef. Whatever you get tacos or quesadillas go with the shredded beef it's very tender and full of flavor. Their Cali burrito is another great go to. There's not too many things you can go wrong with here definitely a must try read more

I had California Burito and it was good. They have a lot of different salsa you can have, but their restroom was out of soap

I returned there again after a year or so. Del Taco, on the next block, is always my go-to because it is so cheap, but once in awhile I will go to Misson Burrito to get a big burrito. They have many to choose from. Sadly, they never include free chips with any entree plates anymore. But the food is still really good. Today I actually went there and watched my friends eat some fajitas and just ordered a drink, but then later I got a burrito to go. Surprisingly it was a Friday night but almost nobody was eating there. A bunch of people were picking up takeout orders but that was it. It was pretty quiet. Not many people working behind the counter either. read more

I had a hankering for some crunchy tacos the other day, and I've been on the hunt for a great Mexican joint since moving to the valley a few years ago. So far I've loved their crunchy tacos, chili relleno burrito and micheladas, and my husband and I consider this a go-to now. Nice little patio to kick it on and enjoy the fountain and birds. Lovely salsa bar. Good, solid food. Can't wait to try more of their offerings. read more

The hard shell tacos are delicious (potato & shredded chicken). The type of taco that has the lettuce and shredded cheese packed on top. The Potato taco comes with sour cream too. The Al pastor is sweet and has a little kick to it. The carne asada is solid but I recommend getting guacamole or getting salsa to go with it :) Beans come with melted cheese on them and the rice has mixed veggies in it. As of December 2024, they're $2,25 each on taco Tuesday. So good. They're quick but super busy on Taco Tuesdays, so come when you have some time! read more

Best Tacos, I went after Sunday church service & was very happy. The service is great, the food is delicious. I loved it so much I went back the very next day. This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. read more

My review is not about the food. My complaint is that the last time I was there, an employee added a $5 tip to my receipt AFTER I signed it. This is a crime. I spoke with a manager who was able to pull up the receipt and see that I had drawn a line through "Tip" on the receipt. She told me that the manager on duty at the time of the crime would contact me. Almost a week later, I have heard nothing. I would think that a company would be very concerned about a dishonest employee. I am more concerned about that than I am about my $5. Who knows how many other customers have been cheated by this person? read more

I'm new to the valley area and I am so happy I came across this place. Was craving some taquitos and they did not disappoint. It came with rice, beans, sour cream, and guacamole. I also got a side of horchata and appreciated the sprinkles on cinnamon. Absolutely loved and will be going back to try the asada fries. read more

Not sure where the meat they used came from or what animal. Taco Bell is genuinely better quality. What a waste it is such a beautiful restaurant with a great outside area. One of the members of our party got food poisoning. Avoid this restaurant until they get their stuff together. read more

The food here was so yummy! Chile relleno burrito here is superb. Also the California burrito was super super yummy too. The rice and beans here have a good flavor compared to other restaurants so that was a plus. Salsa bar could have added another option but other than that the food here is good and the service is pretty good too read more

The place was almost empty on 10/6/25 close to 4:45 pm; the service was horrible; I felt like the register person (a man) ignored me. I had to wait for service then he put my receipt on the counter to sign and walked away. I had to ask him for my copy of the receipt. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I will not come to this place again. It would be nice to go to a business such as this location and the customer service would be at the top of the list since they don'thave many customers. It appears that this is family ran business with not upper management to train the employees to appreciate the few customers that support their business. read more

Came here with my family . It's definitely not the best mexican food around. My husband got a burrito. It was made soo messy and sloppy he couldn't even hold it . He also asked for no pico and half tue burrito was pico and had so much juice from it the tortilla was soggy. I got fish and shrimp tacos and my tortillas were soo hard and chewy. The only flavor was from the sauce . Asada tacos were super dry . $80 for a family of 4 not worth the it. The staff was nice but that was really the only positive. read more

The service was really good. The restaurant is really clean.. The menudo lacked flavor. The tripe wasn't cooked long enough. The birria tacos were bland. The food was disappointing. read more

Great food great service friendly people Taco Tuesday is my favorite and the best menudo I have ever had

Wow, this place is a total mess. Nothing good about this place anymore. I suspect that it will close very soon. Food poorly cooked, fish was super fishy and made me sick. I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN. Missing Sabrosos! read more

This was the LAST TIME we order delivery from here. We ordered nachos they only put cheese on the top! Another inch of tortilla chips that only had beans on them. GROSS. The rest of the food was tasteless. Sorry we wasted our money here. I would give MINUS STARS if I could. read more

Wow wow wow. This is some gooooood comfort food! I ordered the combo plate with one chicken and cheese enchilada with rice and beans, send salsa on the side and a soda... Came to around $20 and it was definitely worth it. I am stuffed like a turkey on Thanksgiving and the food tasted so delicious. It was my first time at this specific location but I will say it's just as good as the other one I've been to I will definitely be back here! staff is very nice and hard-working. Make sure you come with a loose waistband and a nice comfy hoodie because you will be stuffed 10 out of 10. read more

Very amazing food! the hard shell tacos on tuesday are such a steal and the amount of people who come for the deal should speak for itself! the horchata is homemade there daily (i asked) and it was to die for! they have a pretty large menu with anything for anyone! would recommend and come again read more

Mission Burrito is not as good as it used to be. I'm sorry MB. What is it you are using for your Carne Asada? It's not grilled Skirt Steak I'll tell you that. I don't know what cheap cut they are trying to pass off for Carne Asada but I'm done with it. Go to one of the Las Fuentes Restaurants if you want the real thing. We went in today for lunch. Placed our order and walked to the table with our chips and guac. Put some salt on the chips, ate two chips and BAM! All our food arrives. WTF? A Tostada, two Hard Shell Tacos, Rice and Beans all made at the speed of light. I say this is not a good sign. Everything precooked and slapped together. What's the hurry? Take a little time and make it better. Let me fill up on chips a bit. Everything was of only moderate quality, not very good. Nothing really that hot or well seasoned. Meh. For now, we are out. Too many other restaurant making better food out there. read more

Say it with me. Crispy chicken taco. That's the real mission here because it's the best thing they have. It's great. They also make a really great salsa which is a thing that restaurants should get more credit for. Here's your credit mission burrito, I love you. read more

Would anyone like a barcode sticker with there food? So I thought I would try this location 1 more time. After I was almost done with my guacamole, I thought I was chewing on the outside of an onion. Nope. A bar code sticker. Normally I would bring it up to the staff but this location is anything but friendly and welcoming. I guess it's time to find another place that will welcome my patronage. read more

LOL. I FELL FOR IT...the frequent Facebook sponsored ads. But truthfully, I've been eating Mission Burrito since the 1970's. Is it the best Mexican food? Possibly not. BUT... It is consistently good and predictable and yummy. My blushing bride submitted to my desires and brought home a burrito for Taco Tuesday. I chose Chile Colorado. It's big, the beef is perfectly cooked and the red sauce was really flavorful. I'm not only a very lucky man but now a very happy man! read more

My boyfriend and I wanted to try a new place but we were quickly disappointed. The lady at the front register was not very friendly or helpful. The carne asada burrito was lacking in meat. It was maybe 5% meat and the rest was beans. We also ordered some crispy tacos and cheese nachos, both of which were good. read more

Was very hopeful for this place as I'd heard good things regarding other locations, stay clear. It is an order at the front first and then you can self-seat. While eating here, we observed multiple other families get confused on the setup. The most authentic piece of our meal was the picante salsa and the refried beans that came with our meal. The guacamole is doable although it's not made fresh to order. ( you get an idea of how that tastes based off that description). The fajitas is what we ordered and it disappointed drastically. The sauce they cooked the meat and veggies in wasn't authentic and just gave it an odd flavor. Beans were good although the rice was dry and possibly part of the batch that was burned on the bottom. The queso birria tacos weren't good at all. The birria tasted burned but was edible. The small sauce sized consomé they give you, I kid you not, tasted like teriyaki sauce although my boyfriend said it was just extremely salty with a mole consistency. Nothing special about this place, better food would surprisingly come from the Vallarta across the street. read more

The Guacamole I had at the west hills location was the best I've ever had but, this was also very very good! Looking forward to to the future... read more

Mission Burrito - Welcome to the neighborhood! 2 Shredded Beef Crispy Tacos & One Cheese Enchilada - Amazing! - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

TERRIBLE Mission Burrito may be able to get away with a lot in their other locations, but in this neighborhood their are quite a few excellent small Mexican food establishments serving homemade Mexican cuisine and providing excellent service to their customers. No one needs to put up with sub-par food and poor management. I paid extra for lettuce, tomato and guacamole to be added to my burrito. When I started eating the burrito I saw about a pinch of lettuce, but no tomatoes and guacamole. I asked for the manager (who made me wait quite a while even though they weren't busy at all), and showed her my order. She was argumentative and insisted that the tomato and quacamole was in the bottom of the burrito, just small amounts (like the lettuce?) that they have to measure out. It was obvious she wasn't going to be helpful and that she didn't care about customer satisfaction. I continued to eat the burrito and sure enough, as I got near the bottom (see photos) there was no tomato or guacamole. I took the burrito back to the manager. She didn't offer to make me new, correct burrito, and she threw that one in the trash! So I never got to finished my dinner. She gave me my money back with no apology or even looking me in the eye! I told her what a disappointment her management skills were and she again got argumentative! Boy, if this was my new restaurant I would be bending over backwards to make sure new customers got their orders right. And if they didn't I'd be apologizing, apologizing, apologizing, re-making or refunding, and giving them a free soda!! Not the case at Mission Burrito ..... read more
