I know there are varieties of burritos, but as a Chinese, I only see two types: with rice or without rice.

I checked my photos -- I have 200,000 in total -- but fewer than 20 are of burritos. They were from 7-Eleven, Chipotle, Jack in the Box, and Taco Nazo, all fast-food chains. The burrito I had from Yuca's was the only one not from a fast-food chain.

The burrito I tried was the carne asada, grilled steak. Honestly, it was tasty, but the beef itself was neither tender nor juicy. It was a little hard and chewy, just ordinary carne asada. The portion was big enough that two of us shared it for lunch. It was the no-rice version, filled with pico de gallo -- the fresh raw salsa -- and soft pinto beans that made it quite filling. Good.

What I mean is, it was good, very good, but I've had better carne asada. It was too lean; some fat along the edges would have made it better.

It's a celebrity food booth. It was good, but I don't think it deserves the net influence.

Food is really good, service polite but cold/unfriendly, prices higher than average for a tini-tiny place where you order at the parking lot.

It's a little hut set back and next door to another business...you have to know it's there...blink and you miss it. But don't. The staff are lovely and quick. The place is the sister to a great takeout by the same name in Los Feliz. The matriarch Mama passed last Dec...I knew her at the Los Feliz location... she was sweet and adorable. May she rest in peace. The food is great...bo gritle in the carne asada burrito, fice and beans inside is extra. Big enough to share. Needs salsa tho...also got the cochinitas pibil plate...some of the meat was very salty, some not so salty....happiest to find pork in my takeout container not overly salted...love the whole beans, not typical refried...love the white rice, very fluffy...big portion of protein. The little shredded salad however was wilted and limp...and I wished for some pickled red onions...to go with the carnitas...but you'll have plenty of leftovers....solid Oaxaca style eats.

Being a avid chef, I'm very particular of the overall quality of the food I consume. I order machaca burrito and must say every aspect of it was dubilitious!! I give it a 10 out of 1-10. Not bad for a little hole in the wall eatery.👍

OLD IS VERY OLD AND USED TOO MANY TIMES!!! French Fries were too oily. When oil is used too many times it is soaked up by the french fries. Very unhealthy and gross.

Worst place ever, chili burger was tiny with no chili just greedy with it. Fries were horrible even the drinks were nasty never gonna go there rver

Get the Chicken Burrito. Chicken is stewed, juicy, and comes with pico which is a must because they skimp ya on salsa (Roja is bomb) If you want a lil’ thimble extra it’ll cost ya. Carne and pork burritos are so so compared to pollo. If you want a burger go to lucky boy or something.
