The best bargin meals you can buy in Pacific Heights

by mlwnsf

what a fantastic accidential discovery! i have been a faithful customer for several years - even though the prices have gone up ever so slightly, by comparison this is by far one of the best bargin meals you can buy in Pacific Heights. My experiences have always be extremely great and I have come to know quite a few of the people who work there...

so if you only have 5 bucks in your pocket - you can still walk out the door with change but don't forget to leave a tip - they desserve it !

Consistently satisfying

by baychick

I live four blocks away from El Burrito Express and have been going there for the past decade, and never have I had a negative experience. The burritos are thick, moist and hot, with lots of sauce and not too much rice like a lot of places. I always get a chicken burrito with hot sauce - the Super Broncos are huge, enough to split one with someone else and be satisfied. There is usually a line, but it moves quickly - these people are pros. The only downside: the chips that come free are dry, stale and practically inedible.

  • Pros: great food, fast service, relatively easy parking
  • Cons: No ambience whatsoever, closed on Sundays

Tasty burritos best tackled with two hands are the hallmark of this popular Sunset takeout spot.

by Contributor

In Short
A loyal following keeps this tiny Mexican takeout joint thriving. A total of seven stools and a small counter offer the option of a sit-down meal. The burritos--mini-mountains of ingredients that venture into knife-and-fork territory--are the signature offering. Diners get a choice of flavorfully stewed beef, chicken or pork accompanied by the usual fixings of rice and beans. Generous helpings of mild sauce, queso and pico de gallo give things a juicy consistency and wonderful guacamole--fresh-crushed avocado, not creamy or loaded with pico de gallo--make the final product a real winner.

Cheap and Good Burrito!

by pointeshoes

One of the best burritos I've ever had in this price range. Very good and very big. I had a regular chicken burrito but could not finish. My daughter only finished half (she loves birrito!) This is not fancy place. I always order to go. Good place for lunch and supper! highly recommended!

  • Pros: Price, Food
  • Cons: Small Place

Best Burrito

by corinna_chang

El Burrito Express is great! My favorite is their chile verde meat. The carne asada is also good. I think the pollo is on the dry side, though. But as long as I still with chile verde, it's all good to me!

Awesome Burrito!

by ukgrad04

I was craving a burrito, looked on Citysearch to see if there were any near me, and low and behold, I was so excited to see that there is a burrito place down the street! It's definitely a little 'ma n pa' type place, but that where the best food is! Service was great and prices were reasonable. The chicken, super burrito was huge (had to save half of it for later), and the fish taco I got wasn't exactly small either! If you want an excellent burrito and are in the neighborhood, definitely stop in!

  • Pros: large portion sizes, service, location, close to me
  • Cons: space to dine in

Salt Lick Central

by p2514726

Never had I experienced the worse burrito of my life. Not only was the serving portion size of the SUPPOSED SUPER burrito was equal to that of a Don Miguel Frozen Burrito from 7-11 but the carnitas was overly dry and SALTIER THAN A SALT LICK FOR A DEER.

WORSE EVER EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER AGAIN!!!!

  • Pros: n/a, n/a, n/a

Best burrito and nachos in town!!!

by icee429

I always order the espresso burrito, its a burrito topped with enchilada sauce, avacado, and cheese. The burrito is so big and filling that I eat it in two meals. They also give you chips with it, which makes you even fuller. I like to use the chips to scoop out the filling. You need to eat the burrito with a knife and fork. They also make the best chips in town, nice thick, like kettle chips. They're nachos are also very good too, same chips, and sprinkle the cheese on top of the chips and broil the whole thing. It is also very cheap too, less than $6 for a burrito or nacho.

  • Pros: Burrito, Nachos, Price
