This is my favourite place in La Paz. Atmosphere is great and their servers are super friendly and knowledgeable. Food is great but prices are a bit high . Wine list need to be revamped. Closed on Monday. Only 5 pm to 10 pm .

They have a salsa bar that is actually really f'n good. The personalities of the staff is spot on. They help to make the "experience" . Trust the advice of the staff on what to order. They won't do you wrong. We were not from the area, so finding a true hole in the wall spot made the fooken morning. Thanks EMG.

This is a wonderful and authentic spot. Highly recommend the burritos. I’ve had the shredded chicken burrito, Carne Asada burrito, bean and cheese, and other items. All of the food is authentic and the flavors are amazing. The salsas are also unique and delicious. I highly recommend giving this spot a try.

Ordered two carne asada burritos. The only order modification request was for no beans in one of them. But for some reason, my burrito came with cheese in it - which wasn't expected or wanted. And the other burrito didn't have any cheese. Didn't even know it came with it, but the order was inconsistent. The burrito itself was an alright size, and the meat was super chopped up and so didn't taste like anything. I may come back, but will order something completely different. Solid 2 stars for this visit.

Great place for tacos my favorite is the blackened fish taco but the carnitas was old as well. The prices are great $10 for any 2 item combo ... oh and u can actually sit down and eat there ... :)

This place is such a hidden gem. The breakfast burrito I got was delicious especially for the price! I ate a breakfast burrito in LA the other day that was over double the price. The service was also amazing. I can definitely see myself coming back here.

Quaint eatery that hit the spot when I was traveling home from Texas back to HB. Texas doesn't do burritos or carne asada like Cali and I'm so glad I brought my family with me to indulge. Among three of us we had a California burrito, carne asada burrito, shrimp taco, and fish taco. Everything was served hot and fresh. Definitely will have my family coming here in the meantime until I return to Cali. Yum

READ THIS BEFORE EATING:My wife and I went here because of the high reviews, and Hector (the owner) was extremely kind. He shared all about how fresh the ingredients are and how much work goes into each item on the menu. I ordered 2 California Burritos (because I’m a pig) and she ordered 3 tacos. We both agreed that everything we ate tasted fantastic. The service was exceptional! I’m a big California burrito fan, and these were ON POINT!!! Highly recommend!

We were looking for breakfast burritos to bring to the beach, and stumbled across El Mesquitito Grill on Yelp! The reviews were right; the burritos here were absolutely delicious and made for the perfect quick grab and go meal to enjoy.We came in right around opening and ordered the chorizo and eggs breakfast burrito, and the sausage and eggs breakfast burrito. The person helping us at the register seemed to be the owner - he was super friendly and our burritos were made quickly about 8-10 minutes later. We also got free chips with our burritos!Inside, they have a self-serve sauce bar with a variety of red and green salsas. There's also a few seats indoors if you want to dine in. The parking lot was a bit of a struggle, since they share a small lot with many other businesses. We were lucky though since someone was leaving just as we entered.The burritos were nicely packed with care and held itself together the entire meal. I especially loved the chorizo and eggs - it was a huge portion! The chorizo had a slight spice to it and the eggs were perfectly cooked.5 stars all around! The burritos here are at an especially reasonable cost too, I'd definitely recommend visiting. Don't forget to grab the green salsa!

This hole-in-the-wall taco shop is so good.The blackened fish tacos were moist and delicious. Everything was great quality yet so cheap. Burritos were great too.We enjoyed the food from the parking lot and got lots of action. Atleast 8 emergency vehicles passed by. #Dinner&aShow
