They make me an off menu vegan burrito with rice beans and vegetables and it is always fresh and delicious! Thanks El Mexicano, so letting me order what I need.

I can’t even count how many times I’ve visited this establishment and one thing is for sure I’m never disappointed. In the photos it’s a Shrimp and Chicken Salad and the other picture is a Steak Cemitas. The salad doesn’t come like that so if you want it just let them know you want both proteins. Also food is prepared fresh after you order so if you plan to personally pick up, call 10-15 mins prior to give them time and also saves you from waiting.

Solid food for decent prices. They are usually very quick to prepare. This is a pickup only place though, no place to sit!

Delicious!! Super fresh, clearly homemade food. I got the veggie enchiladas, and instead of them just being cheese and beans, or mushy microwaved frozen vegetables, they were full of fresh vegetables that were still a bit crisp. Green sauce was just a bit spicy, wish I had gotten the spicier red sauce. But it was still delicious and had actual complex flavor beyond just spice. Even if this place wasn't crammed into a weird little triangle on the hellstrip that is Hamilton Ave., I would still be amazed at the high quality of their food. But given the awkward location challenges they contend with, I am in awe of what they can accomplish.

I am vegetarian so I have never had the meat/shrimp here - but my boyfriend has had most of them, and we are both HUGE fans! This is our favorite burrito spot in the neighborhood. Quick delivery, maybe 10 minutes of wait time when you order to-go in person (so you know they make it fresh!). Absolutely worth it. Delicious burritos each time. There are no seats here inside or outside regardless of COVID so be ready to take your food home and devour it there.
