If you're looking for great portion sizes, this is the place for you! We tried 2 different burritos and then split them and they were both so good! There was enough food that I enjoyed another meal the next day.

They sell the smallest burritos with hardly any meat. I bought 2 super burritos and when I seen them they were small and they hardly had any meat. It was stuff with cheese and veggies I paid almost 35 dollars for these burritos. I would definitely not recommend anyone eat there burritos!!

This was my first time at this restaurant, and the tacos were incredible! I could barely finish four. Initially, I expected smaller taqueria-style tacos, like those from a typical restaurant, but that wasn’t the case. These were homemade corn tortillas, and they were amazing. I tried the carne asada, grilled chicken, and pastor—all of them were fantastic! I live pretty far from here, but I’ll definitely be coming back at least once a week.

This place is my go to for Mexican food in the Salinas area!! The employees are so kind & attentive. Plus they have sooo much to choose from & the portions are THE BEST. Luckily I always have enough for a second meal later in the day 😋

Can’t go wrong with the Burrito King! Super friendly and hard working family owned business with great Mexican food!

Amazing chilaquiles! They are nice and crunchy with great sauce (green or red if you like spicy). Unlike other locations where they are soggy and lost in the sauce to the point you have to fish them out! Nice location, I recommend going on a Saturday morning so you can walk downtown and enjoy the farmers market after!

A small but very cozy kitchen with great seasoning in its dishes, the service is excellent. The price is reasonable for the delicious food there is.

Machaca con huevo, chilaquiles con huevo y carne, huarache con chile verde, menudo with homemade tortillas, rice and beans. All yummy items Chile verde is a bit spicy but tasty/flavorful. Jamaica and fresh squeezed orange Juice yes please. Coffee de la olla con canela perfect for cinnamon lovers! Pancake dry but the fruit on top freshly cut up banana, strawberries, blueberries yum. Comida muy rico!! Vale la pena probar!!

Vegetarian options: I would just ask for plates that accommodate vegetarians

This hidden gem is definitely a must for those who love traditional Mexican food. This restaurant is in Salinas Ca, tucked away in between 2 buildings and a quick walk down the hallway. You will arrive at your destination once you smell the food and see the smiling faces. I ordered the Breakfast Green Chilie Chilaquiles. It comes with the chilaquiles,beans, 2 eggs any way you like, and 2 homemade corn tortillas. The flavors are amazing, beans are fresh, my eggs were perfect over meadium, and chilaquiles were crispy topped with green chilie salsa & queso fresco & crema. This is definitely a locals' favorite and a must tey for anyone driving through Salinas California. I left pictures of other dishes my family ordered. I gave the atmosphere a 4 only because it's a small building inside, about three tables that sit 4 or 5 and a few tables outside.

Bought a SUPER BURRITO with everything at around $16 including tax. I was expecting the best burrito in town but I got the complete opposite. I almost choked on the tortilla slack.

An excellent choice for authentic, quality Mexican food at a fair price. Horchata is also great!

Burrito King is a great spot! The food is out of this world. We ordered a sausage burrito for $11, and the size completely threw me off—it was huge! The name of the restaurant really does stick to it. The staff is really friendly and very attentive. If you're in Salinas or a local and love burritos, this place is a must-try.
