reliably good. great chicken burrito. the vegan seitan is really good too

Second time here. The rice kind of blows, it’s pretty flavorless, and as other comments noted they really fill the burrito with the rice. Our order was messed up twice. I would however come back and try a burrito with no rice or lettuce, because their meats and salsas are pretty solid.

I have had el barrio quite a few times and the food is good. But literally walked to get a burrito “bowl” and am disappointed by the ratio of portions. There is literally like the smallest portion of beans to rice and then the bowl isn’t even full. For $13.49 for a burrito bowl, I would hope they would feel up the container. It was also cold (I did takeout) after like a 7 minute walk back home. The staff was friendly and pleasant.

i like the place but the new girl keeps getting my order wrong, happened 3 times now. Will likely stop coming back if it happens again.

Food is pretty decent I enjoyed the crispy tortillas and cheesy sauce on their nachos but the chicken was a little dry. Definitely more American style in the food they served. I'd consider it an upscaled taco bell and I like taco bell.

This was really disappointing for a $15 burrito. I ordered the chicken bay burrito and it was cooked pretty quickly, in about 5 minutes. But when I started eating it, I noticed the avocado was spoiled and bitter. The burrito was like 80% rice and no flavor even though I added hot sauce and jalapeños. It’s a never again for me.

I hate to leave a bad review because the staff were wonderful, but I am from SoCal and came here specifically because they advertise SoCal style Mexican food - I can forgive and was expecting it to be a bit inauthentic, but what I wasn’t expecting was for it to be completely cold by the time I walked home 5 mins (similar to another review) and the guacamole to be completely brown (the colors in the photo are not altered). Everything tasted a bit spoiled to be honest :(

I usually don’t write negative reviews but this was so disappointing. Like other reviewers i found the ingredients proportions ridiculously off. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito. What i received was a burrito filled to the brim with rice and one tablespoon of refried beans a little bit of melted cheese. But nearly every bite was just tortilla and rice. Beans are not that expensive. This is a scam - the photo online showed a burrito packed with beans and cheese- but all i got was rice.

$13 for a stale taco shell, dried chicken, hardened cheese from a bag and lettuce that wasn't fresh. Look at the photo.

Placed an order for pickup and went in to get it. Was greeted by the guy at the counter, and I said hello back. I started to explain I was there to pickup an order, when I saw my name on a bag in the heating box on the customers side of the counter. Reached in and grabbed my order to then immediately be berated for no less than 30 seconds on my mistake of opening the heating box. Was pressed on why I don’t read signs (one label on the top corner saying not to open the box), questioned on whether I have my OSHA food certification, and questioned about my spacial awareness. He then said seeya as I walked out, as if I would ever step foot in the place again. Whoever was working the counter should not be in the hospitality industry as they are the least bit hospitable. Food has been barely serviceable both times I have ordered from here. I tipped ahead of time just to be demeaned.
