Manuel's El Burrito Restaurant & Cantina

Alright, so I had very high expectations towards this restaurant because of the very good reviews, but it let me down. I was expecting real Mexican food, and this is more like Mexican American flavor🤷🏻‍♀️. Coming from a border town, being able to cross to Mexico and having authentic Mexican food and having traveled to different places in Mexico, I got disappointed by the taste. I wanted to love this place, but to us, it was lacking flavor, it needed that kick, more seasoning, something. My fish tacos tasted more like batter tacos than fish, it was too much batter and so little fish. The salsa on top has a good flavor though and the beans tasted very good, the rice, well it was okay. The tortilla soup was not good at all, no words for that one, it was just inedible to us. The only reason I didn’t rate this 2 stars, it’s because their customer service was good, at leas at the entrance. Out server Luis, I believe, he was honest and attentive, sometimes I was not able to understand what he was trying to say in Spanish, but he is great. Restrooms were clean, but the only reason I’m mentioning this is because when I was going to the restroom, there was a lady in a wheelchair that was having a hard time getting into the restrooms, in such a small space, crowded by high chairs, it was almost impossible for her to go, so I had to help her, which I didn’t mind at all, but the owners or management should really do something about that and make it more spacious.

Food is mediocre and the customer service is probably better at the homeless shelter

Great food and fair prices. Had the #3, which was 3 shrimp tacos with mango salsa. Loved them! Service was great and food came out quickly.

The food was great, and the service was fast and friendly.

Food was good but I think I prefer other local places better.
