El Burrito Express 2

Good food and service but, total disregard for clients health. I ate a delicious piece of aluminum foil. I don’t know why but they cover the paper plate with it. Whatever reason it is, it’s not worth risking someone ingesting that type of stuff.

I have grown up going here with my family and the food has always been amazing. And I will absolutely be coming to eat here when im visiting my family this week. I am simply making this because the amount of people complaining about the foil lack critical thinking skills. They put the foil down to prevent the food from softening the plate and leaking through. If you are dumb enough to cut through, pick up, and then EAT the foil, it’s a wonder you have made it this far.

Our family has been a fan of EBX and order often (usually at the Taraval location, which we’re happy with) because of their perfectly grilled chicken, the low carb Bronco burrito, and the high quality of the complimentary chips and salsa. Unfortunately, our recent visit at this Divisadero location was disappointing due to the lack of meat and fillings in our orders. The chicken nacho grande was amazing, the chips were fantastically fresh and crunchy, as always. There were also a satisfying amount of toppings but barely any meat. We also ordered two burritos. I usually split a bronco chicken burrito with my daughter, with each of us feeling well stuffed. This time, the bronco was quite anemic, with mostly the tortilla skin. It looked smaller than usual and contained mostly beans. I ended up eating 2/3 and was not full. I hope this is just a fluke instead of the norm.

INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS You cannot go wrong with anything here. From the value menu to desserts to all the Mexican staples, El Burrito Express 2 is LEGIT. The quality and portions are top tier. Take yourself here for an amazing meal. This review comes. From eating here for 15 years. Love this place

This has become my absolute favorite burrito spot in SF - specifically for the bronco burrito that comes without rice. The meat is always tender and well seasoned and the salsa and guac are amazing as well!

Probably one of my personal favorite burritos around this area. I absolutely love the Large Meat/cheese El Bronco Burrito. It's a couple more dollars than the usual but the meat is tender and delicious. The green salsa is super tasty too.

I ordered two beef hard-shell tacos. Plenty of filling, but it was heaped on in an unappetizing way that made them awkward and messy to eat. The taste was okay—not bad, just not especially special.

We ordered taco salad and veggie burrito. Both tasted great! The portion size is more than enough for one person!

when am here I always get the Macho Burrito and plenty of chips/salsa, you should only buy this because the price you pay is just 10$ more for 2 super burritos. A super burrito is 16$, but Mucho burrrito is 25$, double the chicken, double the beans, double the guacamole, double the flavor baby and if your hungry and not afraid to say "No" to diet eat this and your tummy will love it. The green or guacomole sauce is the best, Has a lot of good spices, the right amount of jalapeño and makes my belly happy. The chips are very crispy and doesn't get soggy or too soft when mixed with the salsa or making nachos, so I suggest always order a extra bag of chips and salsa if you are a big aches and chips salsa fan. The only minor issue I have is finding parking here and find a decent spot to eat my food. Usually eating in the car is nice but once a while just enjoying your food outside in the sun is fun and can be so great. The staff is very friendly and I never had trouble with anyone here, most of the staff looks like they are having fun working and I barely see a unhappy guest, so there doing something good and the food really shows. Definitely a hot spot if you like Burritos, Tacos, and want to see the XXL Super Burritos or Macho Burrito. I went here with friends and told them they had a Godzilla Burrito and a crazy Horchata, they were never the same after eating here and kept coming back too. They have another location but the taste is funky I prefer this location. Doesn't taste bland or something you eat at Taco Bell and find in Costco frozen food section, could be just my taste buds, give it a try and see for yourself. yah great place and food if I had to rate everything it's a 10/10 for sure

Always walked by this place but never tried until recently after an appt nearby. Got the NorCal and according to their menu, consisted of carne asada, grilled onions, cheese, house fries, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, expresso sauce. Not sure what the expresso sauce was but it was delicious. The burrito itself is very filling. The only thing I don't like is the house fries inside this burrito, but that's more of a personal preference tho so if I order it again, I will probably ask them to leave that out. Friendly & helpful service. Thank you. Located on Divisadero and Bush.

El Burrito Express is the Tits! Been eating here for over 20 years. Formally at there Sunset District location! Love it!

Fast, fresh, late hours and close to the hospital. Worth the walk. They got me through the last week and will continue to hold a warm place in my heart. Love the habanero sauce.

Came in around 3pm on a Wednesday. Friend was visiting from out of state and was craving Mexican. Found this spot on maps and were very impressed! Place was clean, available seats/tables, clean bathroom, friendly staff but even better food! My friend ordered a surf n turf burrito which was delicious. Prawns were juicy and steak was tender. I had the best carne asada torta of my life! Flavorful, loaded with avocado, lettuce and a bunch of other toppings. Bread was nicely toasted and buttery. Perfection! I'll be back again :)

3.5 stars. Comfy spot with window-side tables that make for good people watching on Divisadero Street. The Taco Salad was smaller than I thought it would be, but was filling enough, especially when paired with the tasty free chips and green salsa. The taco salad shell was OK. Friendly service. Complimentary water and paper cups. Clean single-stall bathroom in the back.

The value menu is so delicious with portions being a good size for the price. We got the tostada, 2 enchiladas and a nacho from the value menu. We were stuffed and had quite a few leftovers. The service was quick and the food was made delicious to order. The staff was courteous and there were plenty of utensils and napkins. Plenty of seating and a great spot to help satisfy cravings.

I had another appointment at UCSF this morning so decided to drop in El Burrito Express at 11;45 am. The lunch crowd was steadily coming in. There were only a few tables open for dine in. My first time trying El Burrito Express and I liked that they had a lot of options on the menu. I ordered the El Burrito large with carnitas. The carnitas were mushy and not crispy at all. This was a bit disappointing. They blended in with the refried beans texture. Sad that only the green salsa was available. But the chips were light and made in house. A lot of seating but during prime lunch hour it gets busy it seems. Can order online

Got a breakfast burrito with Al pastor. Burrito came with chips and salsa. Overall breakfast burrito was good I really liked the Al pastor but wasn't a huge fan of the pineapple in the breakfast burrito. Green salsa is so so so good not that spicy. If you are looking for a classic breakfast burrito el burrito express is a great spot and the service is pretty quick.

Great value burrito, Al pastor marinated well. Not used to Free guac and chips. Wish the meat was interspersed better

I recently visited this location at the beginning of the month. A family member was staying at the UCSF Mt Zion campus, which was right up the street. (this location is walking distance from UCSF). My friend and I came here on a Monday evening for dinner. I ordered the El Norcal Burrito and my friend ordered the Chile Verde plate. My burrito was out of this world, it is definitely one of the best burrito's I have had in a long time. My friend said the Chile Verde was very good and had lots of flavor. She just about finished her plate as well. The service was quick and the food was hot and fresh. I will be coming back if I am ever in the area!

Pretty solid burrito spot in lower pac heights! I was craving a cali burrito and usually hit up El Farolito or Underdogs but I wanted to try something different. I ordered El NorCal burrito which had some perfectly charred carne asada, onion, fries, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, pico, and salsa. The burrito was a pretty decent size (almost two servings if I wasn't super hungry.) The flavors balanced each other out nicely and the burrito wasn't dry, which can happen in some cali-style burritos because of the fries. Their chips and salsa were also bomb--fresh, thick, and crunchy--but not super oily (I wish I grabbed more before I left). As for the restaurant itself, the interior was clean, there was good seating, and the staff were pretty friendly. There is also lots of street parking. I will definitely be back to try other options!

Te amo, El Burrito Express! I dont know how I havent known about this gem hole in the wall, but this place has probably been here for a long time and it's now my go to for burritos! The food is great and the prices are decent. Especially compared to all the other places in the neighborhood that are inflating their prices. I love watching the assembly line as they make the food so efficiently and inhaling the yummy smoke from the kitchen. The burritos come with FREE chips and salsa. Pro tip: If your short on cash, eat on the cheap and order a cheese quesadilla for under $5.

Going to El Burrito Express for over 25+ years. Never have disappointed. Food always ready with call in orders. Food is always awesome!

I tried this place twice and both times the burritos were bad mushy and very disappointing

Came here on a Friday night and it wasn't busy at all. We were served immediately and the food was so good! We got chips and guac and I got a carne asada wet burrito. It was so filling and delicious; it was only $15 and could definitely feed me for 2-3 meals. The chips and guac was a fantastic deal as well; they gave us a huge tub of guac and chips for only $6.50! This is definitely a stable burrito place for Lower Pac Heights and I'll definitely be here again :)

Excellent burrito spot. Food was ready very quickly and everything was hot and fresh. We tried the norcal burrito which was great and the shredded chicken wet burrito which was sort of like an enchilada in that it was covered (smothered) in sauce. It was different but really good, I would probably opt for the carne asada in the wet burrito next time but that's just personal preference, both were tasty! There is some seating inside, none outside. I appreciated that they had self serve water because I hate when I have to keep asking or run out while enjoying a burrito.

went here before a concert at the Fillmore! It was so cute inside, a nice chill vibe to sit and chat with my friend while having a nice meal! The service was amazing, the woman at the front knew exactly what I wanted before I did, from an extra plate to some good salsa! The food was pretty good, i definitely go back!

I had been coming to EBX since they opened 30+ years ago. They are walking distance from my house. Very convenient. The food has been consistently excellent. The service has been consistently not great. I used to visit EBX once a week, sometimes twice a week for as long as they have been opened. I guess you would call me a long time customer. I pretty much ordered the same thing for myself and my family and the food was always good. Unfortunately, I would say 2 out of 4 times they would get my order wrong. A lot of times I wouldn't notice the order was incorrect or something was missing until I got home. I would have to walk back and let them know the order was wrong. I was always pleasant , even though this was a regular occurrence. About a year ago. I did my usual weekly visit. I got home and my burrito was missing . I called them and let them know. No apologies just "oh, you can come back and pick it up". I just got home and didn't want to walk back and wait for my order that should have been done correctly the first time. I just said forget it and can I get a refund. (No refund as of yet) It has been over a year and I haven't been back since and don't plan to. It's not worth the aggravation. I'm really bummed because I really like the food and EBX was my family's weekly go to for good take out food. I know this is an issue with other families in the neighborhood that go to EBX. The same thing. Foods great but, they can never get my order right. So, I know it's not just me. Also , the one employee that's usually at the register taking orders is so unpleasant. She's been there for years. Never smiles. Like I said I have been coming to EBX for 30+ years. Never a "hi" . I always feel like I'm inconveniencing her. I always say "hi" to her and she barely looks up and acknowledges me as a customer. She always seems like she doesn't want to be there, Like I said , I will take my business elsewhere where at least my business is appreciated. I have been going to Cumaica coffee shop for about the same time as I was going to EBX. They know my name and always, always get my order correct and are SUPER friendly. For other long time customers. Please take a moment and make sure orders are correct and you at least greet all of customers.

I recently went to buy a surf and turf burrito but it was mainly rice and beans. Flavor wise it is good. Another thing to have in mind prior to visiting this place is that there is no salsa bar, so you'll be getting those tiny cups already filled. I saw that they had some sort of Mango salsa, which I was curious about, asked for it and got charged for it. Anyways, good place, good taste but I think their service can be better.

My bf likes this place and I think the flavors and textures are not bad, but everything is way too salty. I like their version of the salsa verde, it's a little smokier than other places. I don't normally order chicken but I decided to try something new and the chicken burrito had nice big chunks and was pretty flavorful. Really if they just tone it down with the salt, it's a solid burrito. Service for takeout was pretty fast and you get chips with your order.

Man, what a disappointment. I ordered the al pastor tacos and they came with lettuce and cheap shredded cheese and no cilantro or onions, no flavor at all ( should also point out tortilla was cold and it broke before I even grabbed my taco). My brother ordered shrimp tacos and it took almost 35 minutes for his to come out, long after the rest of us had already gotten our food. Just a mess. The food was awful, and now I get why the menu's so huge trying to do too much and none of it well.

Cheese enchiladas and carne asada burrito/taquitos are delicious! It was really nice to get extra salsa verde and salsa roja, which went perfectly with my cheese quesadilla. The taquitos are also really good and affordable. The service is fast and friendly, and the inside of the restaurant has nice paintings and a clean bathroom.

Have to go for the bajacal burrito. Shrimp and fries married into a burrito, with rice and avocado. Always super fresh and delicious. A great spot to try for awesome Mexican food

I want to give this location more stars but I cannot. I love EBX but I've had issues with this location before.. A manager has reached out and rectified the situation, treating me to a fix and letting me know it will not happen again. I am very appreciative of their kindness.. I chalked it up to staff maybe having a bad day, no big deal, took down any negative review. But then tried the same order two more times at this same location and received it wrong, again, twice. I regularly frequent the ebx on taraval and they never get my order wrong. If you're looking for solid Mexican food, I recommend the drive over to the sunset. The best burrito in the city.

How strange, I ordered a taquito with ground beef and they gave me basically a taco. Aren't taquitos supposed to be fried? They didn't seem to care or understand. First off the ground beef was Horrible like cat food. "I can't even," I thought to myself. The Carne asada taco was better but the beans were dry and flavorless. The horchata had a weird star anise flavor or cardamom flavor to it Honestly, the best thing about this place was the fresh chips.

Had a regular carne asada burrito and it was delicious. I like that they have an option without rice since I tend to ask for no rice. Clean friendly little taqueria.

I had a carne asada taco. It was huge and excellent quality. I would definitely go back.

Such an unassuming but satisfying meal! We ordered the california burrito and carne asada nachos to go. Both were delicious, and the california burrito is generously filled with French fries, steak, beans, and salsa. I'll definitely be coming back and trying out other items on the menu!

I've only ever gotten delivery here, but in the two years of ordering via Postmates/Uber Eats, the experience has been solid each time. The only thing that gets missed are the utensils/napkins even if I put it in the notes to include them, but since I always get delivery to work or home I have silverware to use just in case. The food is always fresh, travels well, and I like that I can order salsa in pint or half pint sizes in case I need extra hot sauce. They always include a complimentary baggie of chips and two small containers of salsa with every order. I recommend the green salsa - yummy! My favorite thing to order is the taco salad with chorizo or carne asada. The shell is filled to the brim with beans, rice, meat, cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole. It's the best!

Such a cute spot to eat at ! Ordered a El Express burrito with steak ! Wow I haven't been to a good Mexican place that equally gives enough of every single ingredient! Would recommend and come back a million times . #Supersatisfied

Reasonable prices, good quality and choice of sizes for burritos. Courteous service, clean place, including a very clean bathroom.

Excellent food, rice & beans. Our favorite place for tacos & burritos. We ordered delivery tonight & everything was excellent! Thanks!

Went here for lunch with one of my co-workers. We definitely enjoyed the food. The food seems to be very fresh with real authentic Mexican flavors. I got the shrimp fajitas and my friend got the Steak enchiladas plate. All the meals come with homemade tortilla chips and homemade green and red salsa. The guacamole was very fresh with great authentic flavors. Highly recommend. The service is fairly quick and the restaurant is a hit during lunch hours.

Food is still good when it has the expresso sauce, but worst carnitas I've had. Taste like boiled pork after you make soup. Dry, not crispy and no flavor. Chips I ordered were really dark from using oil too many times to fry, and fries were all soft and soggy. I also asked for no tomatoes and onions and here you see enough to make a salsa bowl.

Some days you just wanna chow down on a massive burrito... good thing El Burrito Express exists! I've honestly never seen burritos as humongous as the ones they have here. Was super hungry post workout so decided to come sit in and order the El Flaco (pollo asado, black beans, brown rice, avo, pico, salsa verde, wheat tortilla.) All of the burritos come with chips and salsa that you can munch on while you wait.

I live right next to EBX and this place feels like home. They will tend to your Mexican food needs and more. I like to eat gluten free and I will bring them my own personal gluten free tortilla every now and again and they will take it from me and make a burrito with it. Is that not the kindest thing? The mango carnitas taco is mouth-watering, the salad is crisp and refreshing and don't even get me started on those loaded burritos. This is THE Mexican place to try if you are in Lower Pac Heights area.

I ordered the asada fries and carnitas el bronco burrito via DoorDash for a late lunch/early dinner. If you're anything like me, you only DoorDash when you are so absolutely starving that you can barely think and can't get off the couch. I was so hungry that I didn't initially notice that this spot was called El Burrito Express. Generally I'm rather skeptical of "express" places because of the word's connotation with fast food and being generally low in quality, but my dasher was on his way with my order less than ten minutes after I placed it so the restaurant definitely lives up to their name. I got my food considerably earlier than my original estimated delivery time, and you know whenever that happens you just feel extra good. I ordered two items because I thought both would be on the smaller side due to the pricing, but to my surprise both items were decently sized. My food came with two small bags of tortilla chips and three small pots of salsa, two red and one green. I'm a sucker for a good salsa verde and the one here definitely has my approval. It's got a chunkier consistency and a good spice. Both the burrito and fries came with a generous portion of fresh avocado, which only means bonus points in my book. Just one item would've been enough to fill me up, and I really appreciate how the el bronco burrito is just a smaller version of a super burrito because I always end up wasting some of those big hefty super burritos because it's just too much food for me. The red salsa was on the watery side and I wouldn't say is remotely as good as the green. The tortilla chips were quite hard and on the fried end of the spectrum but if it's complimentary I can't complain. The carnitas in the burrito were on the saltier side and had a bit of a spice, so if I were to order the el bronco burrito again I'd try a different meat option. All in all, if you're starving and unable to stand up I would definitely recommend ordering for delivery from here to ensure that you get food forthwith. Honestly salsa options didn't even cross my mind when I ordered but salsas have always been an extra charge at other San Francisco Mexican spots I've visited in the past. It's kind of a hassle to order Mexican on DoorDash when you're presented with multiple salsa options, different item styles, take this out and then substitute that, so you've got to appreciate a place that can be trusted to deliver a solid experience without needing detailed instructions.

3.75 stars rounding up A convenient location for me since it's around a fitness studio I attend Tacos are right around $3 to $4 and you can't go wrong with any of the meats Tacos are pretty huge.. 2 tacos can easily fill you up (but I order 3 lol don't judge me) If you're craving Mexican cuisine, I'd recommend to stop by in the area

Quick update The breakfast burrito w/ chorizo is outstanding Green sauce is really good too

Great food! Nice place to stop if you want good burritos at a great value. This is sure to become our regular Mexican food spot in our neighborhood! Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating :) definitely recommend

Great food, good prices, and open late. The employees are always the same so the portions, quality, etc are ways consistent.

Nothing but great things to say about this spot! The ingredients tasted very fresh, authentic free and a vast amount of options from meats, tortillas, and even healthy options! I loved that they have black beans options, vegan brown rice, whole wheat tortilla, all the things I love. The horchata is BOMB! Don't forget to add espresso sauce on EVERYTHING! The burritos are huge by the way. This is a spot I can see myself coming back to.

Yesterday we ate at El Burrito Express 2 and had a very good meal. We ordered two El Bronco grill chicken burrito's and they were excellent, plenty of grilled chicken and fresh avocado's and the right balance of rice and beans.

The breakfast burrito is one of the best I've ever had and the salsa is especially good here. The staff are kind and the decor is cute.

So delicious! Ordered takeout through Uber eats and it only took about 15 minutes! There's a lot of options but I opted for the super burrito with ground beef. I was actually pleasantly surprised I wasn't sure how the ground beef would turn out but I enjoyed it! It was like a very saucy ground beef with lots of flavor! Would definitely be back and try another one !

The guac was hellllla good. Fresh. Thick consistency and not super smashed down all the way. The chips were good too. Thick tortilla chips not not overly oily. I didn't try the carne asada taco but it was big. Lots of meat. Come with whole beans on it too. El Cancún Burrito was light on the rice. It had slightly more beans than other filling but not to the point where there was a big imbalance. The veggies I the burrito were good. It tasted like how veggies taste in caldo de pollo or a similar soup. I did notice that there wasn't a lot of avocado or rice. I only ate half the burrito and I got 4 medium shrimp. Shrimp was good tho. I'd wanna go back to try their vegetarian burritos and eat more chips and guac!

What a gem! I recently moved from San Jose, and was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a good Mexican spot. But the burritos here are pretty solid for $9! The al pastor burrito was my favorite and they seem to have a great breakfast burrito menu as well. Will definitely come back!

I lived next door to this place for 6 years and I still go 2-3 times a week. It's a great deal, delicious and quick! Try the Baja Cali burrito if you like shrimp!
