El Burrito Mexican Restaurant Elberta Alabama — Restaurant in Alabama

Small place with a big menu and reasonable prices. We stopped in as out of town guests of a family member who lives in the area. The service was very slow and the server was not at all attentive or knowledgeable about the menu. Although refills were free, after the first glass of Coke, we were told they were out of product. After we asked for a substitute, we were offered a limited selection. Found this odd. But they were out of a few choices on the menu too. I also did not expect more rice than the few beans and meat in my Monster burrito. I understand that this is a new family business, hoping to open a real restaurant. That being so, fewer good available selections may be what should be offered. The other bad choice that night was the beef nacho supreme. I won't even go there.The winner at our table was the bean soup and chili rejreno. Both were excellent. I understand the Taco plate is a...

The value is phenomenal. I would have easily paid more for the high-quality oversized margarita and what should have been too much...

I've been driving by this place for the 5 years I've lived here. Not anymore! Now I know why there is usually a good crowd here. Great service. It is a very large menu that I can't wait to experience more of. Had the fajita taco salad "trio" which had chicken/ shrimp/steak. Really want to try something different next time, but it's gonna be tough not to order it again. The wife had the dipping tacos with rice. I'm not sure what it's called on the menu, but very very good. I'm not sure what it looked like inside b4 because they are in the process of remodeling. Wish this place was closer to my home as I could see myself ordering food to go at times. Forgot to add the prices were very...
