I absolutely love this place. The food is truly authentic and the staff gives you fantastic portions. It can get pretty busy at this locations but if you order ahead, then you can bypass that traffic. I can’t say enough how great this food is and it’s a staple in the area. My kids keep wanting to go back for more and more.

This place is to die for! The person at the front desk is so nice. She was very patient and she’s very good at explaining the vast amount of food options. The churros is what keeps making me come back. The churros are made right as you order. They aren’t pre-made or made before you order. Right as you order they make them! They were pipping hot when I got them and theres a lot of variation of filling you can pick. I like the chocolate filled ones. This place is truly a gem and the food is also excellent. But I like any mexican so I wouldn’t be the best to judge.

El Famous Burrito is my personal favorite Mexican lunch spot. It’s not a restaurant, its a tiny takeout or eat-n-go place, but at the same time it beats almost any other Mex place foodwise.

The steak tacos with onion and cilantro with rice and beans are my favorite. The churros are very good too!

Some great food but I feel like I spend way too much money. Usually get a streak torta overflowing with beans but delicious none the less. Also got a steak burrito suizio which was delicious, lots of stuff on top of it but was tasty none the less! Great recommendation!

El Famous Burrito has always been a good choice when it comes to authentic and yummy Mexican foods. I was running errands and it was near this restaurant, so I decided to stop for a while for a quick bite. The parking lot in front of the restaurant is full, but now there is no need to worry because there is a lot of available parking beside and near the restaurant. The staff behind the counter were nice. They have a good variety of options on their menu, but I would always prefer to order the combo because it is better and the price is reasonable, but the prices are even more reasonable for the combo. The service is quick, mostly based on my experience, but on that particular day the food took longer than I expected. I do not complain about waiting a bit because the food is fresh and hot. I just got steak tacos, fries, and a drink. Their tacos never really disappoint, and even though the steak on the tacos was not that much, it was flavorful and delicious, and the thaw was more than enough. The fries are hot and crispy. The food was so good that it seriously made me full and satisfied. It is just always a good time here. Mexican food is good at reasonable prices.
