El Famous Burrito

The chips and salsa are the main event. Crispy, warm, the perfect amount of salt. Plus they give hot carrots with the tacos. But seriously, get the chips and salsa

I always get the steak burritos been going there for years. Last three times I've been there. The steak is fatty. They're using it cheaper. Cut of steak now. Maybe new owners trying to save money.

I would have added pictures if the leftovers lasted longer, but my husband I devoured. Lol. I grew up in a Mexican neighborhood and there was an El Famoso (El famous Burrito) located in town. Sadly it shut down and didn't reopen by the time I moved out of my old neighborhood. This El Famoso (as my mother calls it) brought back all the nostalgia from my childhood. The staff was polite and the food was great. They do speak fluent English here which I know is a concern for some ppl who don't know Spanish. This is a go to if you're craving authentic Mexican food that won't break your bank. My husband and I both got tortas and shared two containers one containing rice and one with beans. We only spent 35$ and it was worth it. They have Paletas De Michoacana which I would have bought if I was so full after dinner. I love my date nights with hubbie and this is definitely on our list to go back to for dinner/lunch.

Vegetarian options: The rice for sure is vegetarian, the beans were probably made with some sort of beef stock/broth but you could only tell if you or family cooks Mexican food. Chile Rellenos is my favorite vegetarian option which is a giant poblano pepper stuffed with cheese and breaded then fried. You can put this in any Mexican dish as a substitute for meat. Of course, they also have traditional meatless options such as guacamole, chips, salsa, and fajita veggies.

they were talking about me in their language. Now mind you I saw a freaking cockroach behind the counter. That’s disgusting. And I was like eating my food and I saw a hair in my food. This place is absolutely disgusting. I wouldn’t even eat here

Cook came from the back doing whatever he was doing back with a whole microwave in his hands, carrying it. I placed my order and began making the food without gloves or washing his hands. I LEFT! Never going back.

I went here with my family, we got chips as the appetizer and they were absolutely delicious. They were no doubt the best chips I’ve ever had, you could tell they were fresh. The burritos were also good. It was big but absolutely delicious too! Customer service was good, the man working was very kind. I would definitely recommend this place! Not for large families since the restaurant is small I have to say so that is where I’d recommend pick up, but overall the place was amazing, the best food I’d ever had, this is coming from a person who doesn’t really like Mexican food. 10/10 experience, I would definitely recommend this place!

I got the torta dinner. It was delicious. I dined in but had to pay for my chips and salsa which is different. I love Mexican restaurants because of the service and chips and salsa! So it not being complimentary and no one bringing my food to me was a turn off. But overall I enjoyed the food! Might be backk when I’m in the area.

My son and I come here a few times per year and we always get the steak nachos. We love them, they taste great, and the restaurant gives you a nice size portion for the price. The restaurant is always clean and nicely kept too.
