    Big burrito
    Alex S.

    Burrito price/ value with portion 9/10 overall taste 8/10 Ordered carne asada and got mushy stewed meat... would have ordered chicken if it was grilled (maybe it was stewed too). Normally carne asada means cut up grilled steak.

    I came here on my last stay up here at Lake Tahoe for a quick lunch. I've had many a burrito from Americanized places like Chipotle to hard core Mexican in Oakland where you're better off speaking Spanish and having a second person watch the car. This place I will say is not real hardcore, so no there's no tongue on the menu. Just pork, beef and chicken burritos. The size is OK, and the prices ... well,lets just say there's no such thing as a cheap burrito lunch anymore , and then there's the Tahoe price factor. $14 bucks with tax is about what a burrito will go for here. This is a hold in your hand and eat burrito, not a wet sauce covered one on a plate. I got a beef burrito and it was decent, not wow, this is great burrito, but just OK. It you're looking for real authentic Mexican, you'll need to leave Lake Tahoe, though I did hear of a place in King's Beach off the main strip that might be good. It's a Mexican grocery store as well. I'd say here at the Burrito Window, it's serviceable Mexican food, but then you might be looking for a burrito that you might be more familiar with like in the suburbs of some city, this will do you good then.

    Thankfully we were able to get a table to eat as it was prime lunchtime. Food took about 10-15 minutes. Burritos were the perfect portion and were tasty.

    It's not the most amazing food, but the view can't be beat for a nice casual meal nearby King's Beach. There are four stools out front that even face the beach. We opted for inside since we needed a high chair. I would recommend tacos over the bowl and carnitas over the other meats. Really filling and friendly service. I'm glad we came upon this place on our way to the beach.

    Asada taco and chicken taco

    My family of four was looking for a quick lunch on a Friday with indoor seating and came across The Burrito Window. Their hours are limited, 11am to 3:00 pm. We walked in around 2:35 pm and were kindly greeted. The restaurant was clean and there were a few tables available. My family ordered an asada, burrito,a chicken burrito and a kids chicken burrito and enjoyed them. I ordered an asada taco and chicken taco a la carte. The tacos were bigger than traditional street tacos. They were served on two tortillas with cheese melted between the tortillas (nice touch). The asada looked and tasted different than asada I'm used to getting but was good. The chicken was also good. The meat, slaw, sauce, tortillas were all fresh. A good option for a fresh meal in the King's Beach area.

    Not the biggest fan unfortunately. I think my expectations were misplaced and I was expecting more traditional Mexican food but this is more Tex mex. Tacos are lined with a coleslaw, meat and salsa. Overall the taste was good. Fresh and very protein heavy. The not so good were the rice and beans. Very dry and tasteless.

    Found in food, hard tooth like thing

    Excellent food (think a much improved Chipotle) and the service was quick and friendly. Just found a new must-stop when I'm in Kings Beach.

    Went for our annual summer dinner at Lanzas! Opens at 430…read moreand a crowd of people were already waiting to go inside for dinner! We sat in a packed bar and waited in line for a half hour for cocktails as there was only one bartender! So busy for a Tuesday evening but since it's summer it's to be expected! We put our name in for dinner right away and had just finished our cocktail when we were called to be seated. We were served warm bread and butter and ordered a carafe of house red wine. While we enjoyed that we looked at the menu but always order the same meal! I love the large meatballs which you get two with sauce. We enjoyed the salad and bread before our meals came. As always delicious! It was pretty noisy with a few big groups with kids but we enjoyed our yearly visit!

    I had high hopes for this restaurant given its reputation. I have no doubt, reading the menu with…read moreMama Lanza's newspaper article from 1999, that at one point this was an authentic, quality restaurant. However, my current opinion stands as mediocre at best. Ambience is cozy and old-school, borderline needing a deep clean. I ordered the Lumaconi, it tasted fine. But one of the problems with this restaurant is how the food is plated and presented. You can see from most pictures that it lacks visual appeal. My sister ordered the lasagna. It was interesting that the meat inside was a sliced meatball. I don't know what to say about that. Lastly, my niece ordered Angel hair pasta. I would venture to guess that they boiled a whole box and dumped that same portion into her bowl. Way too much pasta and lacking balance with the few scattered tomatoes and protein, of what looked to be a boiled chicken breast. Wishing we could have visited here in its prime. If you visit, you definitely won't be dazzled, but it's possible that you might not be disappointed.
