Taqueria el burrito — Restaurant in Higüey

I recently visited Taqueria El Burrito twice and had somewhat of a mixed experience. During my first visit, I ordered the Piñacolada with chicken tacos, and I must say, it was absolutely fantastic. The combination of the refreshing piñacolada drink and the flavorful chicken tacos was a match made in culinary heaven. The tacos were well-seasoned, and the chicken was tender and juicy. I left the restaurant with a satisfied palate and a smile on my face.

However, my second visit didn't quite live up to the standards set by my first experience. Unfortunately, they were out of the Piñacolada, which was disappointing since it was a highlight of my previous visit. Instead, I decided to try the mango drink, and I must admit, it wasn't as good as I had hoped. The mango flavor was somewhat artificial, and the drink lacked the same refreshing and well-balanced taste that I had enjoyed with the Piñacolada.

On the bright side, I also ordered the nachos during my second visit, and they were simply outstanding. The nachos were piled high with toppings, including cheese, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. Each bite was a burst of flavors, and the combination of the crispy tortilla chips and the savory toppings was incredibly satisfying. It was clear that the chef had taken great care in preparing the nachos, and it truly paid off.

Overall, my experience at Taqueria El Burrito was a bit of a mixed bag. While the first visit exceeded my expectations with delicious piñacolada and chicken tacos, the second visit fell short due to the absence of the drink I wanted and the underwhelming mango drink. However, the nachos during the second visit were exceptional and demonstrated the culinary skills of the kitchen. I would recommend giving this place a try, but be prepared for some variations in the quality of...

BEWARE if you value your time!!!! My friend and I tried to have lunch here yesterday. We sat down at 1:50 pm and ordered our food by about 1:55 pm. At 2:40 our food had not yet arrived and we needed to be somewhere by 3:15 so we asked that they just box up our food to go. At 2:45 I went up to the counter to pay and to ask why our food STILL hadn’t come out. I was told at that time that they were “starting to prepare it”. I’m fluent in Spanish and asked for clarification. I asked what they meant by “starting to prepare it”… giving benefit of the doubt that they meant starting to package it. But NO… they meant they were starting to cook it!!!! We sat there literally for just shy of an hour and they hadn’t even started to prepare our food!! Wow!!! Just wow!!! Then they had the nerve to actually charge us for the two Coca Colas we drank while we waited AN HOUR to NOT be served our meals. I explained it wasn’t about paying for our Cokes, I was perfectly capable of paying for them (and did)…. But the principle of such terrible service and them not even apologizing or saying not to worry about the cost of two Coca Colas. I paid for our Cokes and will NEVER make the mistake of going...

I've dined at this establishment several times in the past, and it has generally met my expectations. In fact, I've even recommended it to friends based on my positive experiences. However, my most recent visit was extremely disappointing, to the point where I won't be returning. I ordered a pork burrito, but the pork itself was incredibly tough and unpleasant to eat – it felt like I was biting down on rocks. I could barely manage two bites before I had to send the entire dish back to the kitchen. Rather than offering to replace the meal or provide any form of good customer service, the staff simply removed the dish and handed me the bill. While they may have made $13 from my order, they've lost a loyal customer for life, and I won't hesitate to share my negative experience with others. It's unfortunate to say, but customer service seems to be severely lacking at this establishment. While I've enjoyed good meals here in the past, this recent experience has left a lasting impression, and I struggle to rate it more...
