El Brinquito

A tiny place with good food. Friendly service and ample parking.

Excellent little Mexican restaurant. Has an extensive meat selection with legit spicy salsa. We stopped by between wine visits for a snack and split the fajitas combination. It's everything you want in that dish.

This restaurant was bangin'. We came here for a casual lunch, ate in the patio, great ambiance. Delicious chips and salsa, michelada was very good! Humble festive and delicious!

Best burrito I've ever had. Walking past the tortillas being grilled outside was already a great sign, and it got better from there. The super/extra large burrito was huge and fed 2 of us and the meat was so flavourful. Wish I lived closer so I could eat there every day!

This is one of those whole in the wall places that has great food. The readers are very large and the staff is very helpful and they have Mexican coke. There is a semi enclosed outdoor area with a fountain if you want to eat on a hot summer day And there are TV showing things like the soccer match inside.

Toddler loved the chicken kids burrito , it was flavorful and most of all not spicy at all. I got the quesabirria, it had a little 🔥 which is great, 6 of these bad boys....only criticism is it didn't come with a consume but honestly it didn't really need anything..... My wife got the burrito and it was great....our new go to Mexican restaurant in Santa Rosa

This place was not recommended by our Uber drivers, they didn't know much about it. But we gave it a chance and it didn't disappoint!! From the drinks to food it was all good. Kind and attentive service. Glad we went!

The quintessential local Mexican restaurant with excellent authentic menu items and great service. If coming for dinner on the weekend, be prepared for a little wait due to their popularity. Highly recommend the super burritos in all meat options. I love the grilled chicken, but the beef and carnitas are just as delicious

Makes me feel as though I'm in Mexico at a family gathering. I feel like family. And the food is excellent 👌 😋

Pro - Wow! It really does fill me up! :) taste really good and big burritos if you order "super". Con - It's little hard to find where to order food. It's not in the front which most places are. It's on the side. I thought I walk into a restaurant until someone told me where to order food. It seems I'm not the only one who got lost. Overall - I like this place and it have big portions. I recommend checking out it.

My first time here trying this restaurant and it is very delicious. I had the Enchilada plate. So yummy! I don't come out to santa rosa, but when I do, you bet i will visit here again and try other plates. The service is amazing! Our waitress was lovely and attentive. Thank you El Brinquito Restaurant ✨️

Friendly staff and smells good when you walk in. We ordered the fajitas at the staff’s recommendation, and they were great. They have Pepsi fountain drinks, bottled Coke, and beer on tap. Excellent food with a wonderful family atmosphere. Affordable and authentic.

The best Al Pastor I've ever had probably. Crunchy and perfectly fried in a super burrito is heavenly. They also specialize in seafood. I tried their House special - Vegetable Seabass Soup. Hearty and a great portion. Service is always great. Call ahead to pick up and save time!

Picked up an Asada Chimichanga tonight and it was love at first bite! From the crispy tortilla on the outside to the rice and steak coated in gooey melted cheese on the inside, this chimi was top notch! If you like bland food, this is NOT the for you because it is full of delicious flavors!!

Very good food. Easy going and helpful staff. The kind of Mexican food I like. They have some authentic food. Salsa good, more like a hot sauce and also get a Pico de Gallo. Guacamole was real good and fresh. Street tacos were larger and great (fish, El pastor and Pollo verde). Grande burrito was huge. Chips were very crispy and not oily. Big thumbs up. Bathrooms were a little dirty around the edges, but not gross.

Hello first time customer, I received the chicken super burrito and wow very thick lol and quite long for my expectations which is amazing! I loved their salsa and so far this burrito tastes quite authentic and unique. I enjoy this food and the customer service was professional and cordial. I recommend trying it if you haven't yet. I will be a returning customer! Thank you El Brinquito!

Wow!!! What a lucky find. We just picked the place at random and wow, what a treat! The Carnitas Super Burrito was absolutely amazing. The food at this place is superb. I cannot recommend it strongly enough. The service was great. The location was a little busy (on the corner of 2 busy roads) but the atmosphere was fantastic.

It's an order-at-counter restaurant, but has the atmosphere of a full sit-down restaurant. Seating inside or a covered outdoor area. Good food, typical prices.

Fantastic food! Traditional Mexican food done very well. Had the street tacos and super burrito. Very sweet and smiley people helping with the food. A cut above other restaurants in the area. Thank you for being so great!

I accidentally ordered the wrong thing, and they offered to switch it back to what I meant I wanted, and also refunded me for the other meal. New food came in MINUTES, and was delicious. I love this spot and will continue to support. Very nice staff.

The food was amazing and they really worked with my texture of food issue. One of the best burritos I've had. My husband had the street tacos and he said they were amazing. The price was super cheap compared to the amount of food you get.

First time here. We split a plate and there was still plenty of food.

Great authentic Mexican food. Nice place for lunch.

The food was really great. I had a Chile relleno and my husband had cheese enchiladas. The portions were huge! I thought it was a little pricey but we had so much left over it seemed worth it. I enjoyed the fresh veggies on my Chile relleno. My husband enjoyed the warm chips and flavorful salsa.

Nice spot for lunch and a cool horchata. Very friendly crew, the place is always clean, often busy during the typical crunch times. They are adding a nice covered outdoor seating area. Even though street traffic is loud and bustling, it's still a nice place to chill and enjoy a great meal.

Was actually trying to find a place for breakfast but drove by and saw the open sign and decided to stop 10:30 am on a Sunday. Ended up having a great burrito, the 49er burrito. It was so large that it was enough for two! They do have breakfast choices but couldn't pass up the burrito. The salsa is hot, so be careful. I will be back to visit!

Decent food in a colorful and friendly atmosphere. The food is good but fairly average - nothing was bad, but nothing blew me away either. It’s close and convenient so we’ll probably be back from time to time, but there are definitely more flavorful options in Santa Rosa. Also, getting into the lot is tricky and the parking is tight if you’re in a truck or SUV.

I got the happy hour special. 4 street tacos for $5. It was just what I needed. I liked the spicy salsa and chips that came with it! The staff was very friendly. Prompt service with a smile. I will definitely go back.

Nice decor and bar area. Like the Chivas logo hanging by the bar and all the Raiders stuff everywhere. Fish a little too crispy but other than that we look forward to coming back again.

Food was fresh. Could be a little more flavorful. Nice people. Pricing is fair. Parking is tricky, be careful when exiting.

Great family run Mexican Restaurant. Tasty. The Relleno was abit greasy, but still delicious.

Chips and salsa were ok. Had the super carne asada burrito, phenomenal! One of the better burritos I have had in this area. I will be back. Authentic mexican food, meat seasoned and cooked correctly, beans on point rice perfect.

Mixed feelings on this one. We had a couple of excellent tacos, enjoyed the excellent beverage selection, and the very nice staff. The location is not ideal,perched at a super busy intersection, but the tented patio seating area is somewhat effective at helping to create a sense of separation from all the traffic. What led to the low star rating was the almost carbonized fajitas... Maybe a fluke and worth a revisit, but it did leave a lasting burnt taste in our memories.

Saw this restaurant on the way out of a visit to the Harbor Freight store that's nearby. I'm always on the lookout for new restaurants and experiences. This place was ok. The service was ok but attentiveness could improve a bit (considering there were only about five people in the restaurant at the time around 1:30 pm). The food was ok as well. The ingredients were fresh and tortillas were homemade and fresh as well.

The food is good. Music is too loud, I can barely hear myself think. Prices are a little high.

The Warm chips and salsa are great. Burrito de carnitas was a little dry .

$15 for a tiny, basic, absolutely mid burrito filled with rice, beans, and meat that had clearly been sitting in warming trays for AWHILE. Stopped in bc it was near where I was going. Will not be back. Learned my lesson, I hope this review puts them in the 3-star range.

I'll begin by saying we had a good experience with the staff. They were pleasant and helpful. The food tasted as if it were reheated several times, (couldn't finish), men's room had a broken urinal with a plastic bag over it someone relieved themselves on and the room itself had urine on the floor. It was a disgrace, IMO. Women's room was reported to be in good condition. Restaurant floor wasn't just dirty from today's business, but seemed to be at least weeks in the making. May I say I enjoyed the beans and rice? This could be a good place to eat if establishment cleaned up it's act and served fresh food. I can't recommend.

The worst Mexican food I’ve ever had absolutely disgusting… I never knew someone could make gross enchiladas and sell them… so bad that I couldn’t even get it down my throat because it was so dry!!! so I had to throw it all out…. No taste 0/0 don’t recommend

There was a hair in my burrito so gross

Used to be My go to restaurant when I work nearby. I would often say, The food is delicious, take a friend….then the tomatoes tasted like they were goin bad. I stayed away for a while then decided to try again. Ate my tacos first then went for my salad and noticed the brown, who serves lettuce like this at a restaurant? I didn’t let them know as they know what they served, I just left it on the plate to see for themselves. Maybe after another year I will give them a third chance, maybe.
