“Located in South Padre Island, Burrito Express is a haven for foodies. Our recent visit to Burrito Express left us thoroughly impressed, as we indulged in both breakfast and lunch burritos that were nothing short of spectacular.One of the highlights of Burrito Express is the ability to enjoy breakfast burritos all day long, and we couldn't resist starting our adventure with one of their signature breakfast creations. The Egg Chorizo Breakfast Burrito was a revelation, with fluffy eggs, savory chorizo, shredded cheese, perfectly seasoned potatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and vibrant pico de gallo all wrapped in a warm tortilla. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that danced on our taste buds, leaving us craving more long after the last bite was gone.For lunch, we opted for the Barbacoa Burrito, a hearty and satisfying option that did not disappoint. Tender barbacoa beef, flavorful rice, and creamy beans were nestled inside a tortilla, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that delighted our palates with every mouthful.While both burritos were undeniably delicious, it was the Egg Chorizo Breakfast Burrito that stole the show and left a lasting impression. The combination of ingredients was simply perfection, and we can't wait to return to Burrito Express to enjoy that same delectable combo again.In addition to the mouthwatering burritos, Burrito Express also boasts a friendly and welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit a pleasure.

“We went there yesterday and I ordered seafood soup. The soup was amazing. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who likes seafood. My husband ordered red snapper. The fish tasted amazing, however it was pricey but worth every bit of it. We shared our dinner. The owner was very friendly and nice. We also tried their lemonades that are made from real fruits. I had guava and it was very good and my husband had pineapple and strawberry and it was great as well. The drink is big. Atmosphere is great, friendly staff. Definitely recommend everyone to try this amazing food.“
