The eat in diners couldn’t stop praising his dishes. The way he works with his customers is amazing. My hat off to him and his staff. Keep up the good work, Andrew. My family will be back for more.

“I can't say what I like best, because it is all delicious. I usually get the enchiladas huertenas because I can't decide if the mole, red sauce, or green sauce is better; they are all equally wonderful. So are their tender, flavorful tamales. even their chips & salsa are a cut above. Pickup during the pandemic is fast and painless, which we appreciate.“

Qué Dios los siga bendiciendo mucho! 🥰 Comida APROBADA por ésta servidora Boricua!! 💪🏻😘🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“Do it, excellent! It made me miss California Tacos shop. Fresh, flavorful, authenic, delicious!! The corn tortillas melted in my mouth. It is a food truck in a lot, but it's clean and they have picnic tables, although I ate in my car. You can see people working hard, and super nice. Can't wait to come back!“

One hundred percent way better than the new haven trucks way better than any restaurant imitation mexican food!!! If you come here, not only are their prices reasonable, but try everything on the menu. It's phenomenal in the food taste very authentically quality.

2. If there was only one recommendation I would give for that extra star is to add more seasoning to your food. In any other case, your food is still the best that i've ever had mexican!!!!“

“I LOVE BIRRIA THE FUEGO“

“Excellent food, innovative menu, & very reasonable prices. Also the "Taqueria" setup where you are prompted to build your own. Yeah like Moe's & Chipotle but this place is a million times better & a genuine family owned hard working small busuness.“

“My current top hidden gem for amazing and authentic Mexican food. Hidden in La plaza del Mercado, this spot has the most amazing tripe soup, where the tripe was properly cleaned, no funky taste/smell, cooked perfectly tender. Great caldo de res as well, the meat was tender and had a strong beef flavor, soup was light and refreshing and the veggies provided a nice natural sweetness and the squash was incredible inside. Their tacos are great as well and their pricing is a bargain and their portions are quite good.“

“I don't know if my meal was authentic or just a little different than many Mexican restaurants that claim to be authentic. I know that ground beef dishes aren't necessarily authentic but there is a way to keep the meal authentic with ground beef and I dont think this restaurant followed that code. Beautiful meal presentation.. Everything was very tasty but seemed a little lazy. Sour cream in packets, No homemade much of anything. Regardless, great meal. Marinated pork and ground beef tacos and a ground beef enchilada. I enjoyed my meal but it didnt stand out as anything special.“

“I lived in the Bay Area for 20 years and have had many burritos. Theirs hands down was the best. So good I had to buy a burrito bowl for the next day“

“Hello I just wanted to say how phenomenal the food was and how pleased I was after eating. If you are looking for something tasty I recommend the cemita for 16$ you get a sandwich that will fill you up for the rest of the day, I also want to say the customer service is great a really kind mother and her son working there. To conclude great food, great service, and great experience. If you are looking for great authentic Mexican food this is for you. I also want to add Valerys review is wrong since this place is a food truck and does not do delivery so it is not their fault.“

“Some delicious tortas 😊😋 Some real Mexican food“

“Went today with my husband for the first time the place is decent dine in is available we got home ate and all I can say is BOMB!!! loved my burrito and sauce options is a plus thanks guys“

“Just moved here and FB recommended this place off prior places I’ve visited in Arizona. I thought it was going to be a stand alone restaurant but it’s in this huge dining hall. The place is incredible. Literally a mix of everything for every walk of life and I highly recommend going down there just for that. Back to Burrito Loko. I had the Birria Tacos and they’re the best ive had in the area. My wife is super picky but said the steak burrito was good too, which says a lot honestly. We’ll be back, likely multiple times a week as there’s just a ton of great company there.“

“Authentic flavor, friendly and inviting atmosphere and hosts. This was my first time trying a Salvadorian papusa, and I have fallen in love. The combo of savory pork and refried beans pairs beautifully with the light sauerkraut and tomato sauce. The tacos were also good, and the red sauce was delightfully smoky. Very reasonable prices too!“

“Great quesadillas and consome de borrego and tacos as well, I highly recommended it.“
