Aracely's Restaurant & Market — Restaurant in Antioch

Tried Aracely's for the first time for lunch as my boyfriend was craving burritos & wanted to try a new place.

I can't say much about the service or ambiance as my boyfriend ordered for pick up. But, I got a Regular Steak burrito (which included cheese & sour cream) and he got a Super Steak burrito.

The burritos are visibly large, however they lacked flavor. I guess it doesn't make it easy as someone that grew up in the Mission District where burritos are hard to mess up considering it was pretty solid wherever you go.

Personally, I'm used to my asada not being marinated and having a char to it which is where most of the flavor would typically come from. However, the asada here is actually marinated in red sauce as if it was al pastor. Additionally, there was lettuce and pretty large cuts of tomato which made the burrito feel a little less authentic as I'm not used to that in my burritos.

The burrito unfortunately lacked flavor to the point where my boyfriend had to use our table salt to season it a bit. We unfortunately agreed that we likely wouldn't come back for...

Most restaurants we're given a difficult choice, quantity vs quality... But this is not one of those places, Aracely's delivers both effortlessly. I've only had the lunch burritos, but I can make a fairly good assumption of the rest of their choices. All the separate components of said burrito were on point! The rice is cooked and seasoned perfectly, the Carne asada was juicy and flavorful, the green salsa is well balanced with sweet, sour and heat. That was the quality part of the equation, in regards to quantity... The burrito was huge! Easily shared by a couple adults. It's going to be a bit difficult for me to review all the other items, but I feel comfortable ordering anything on the menu knowing I won't be...

I have been coming here since I was in highschool over 10 years ago and its still the same family. Food is spot on best green salsa prices are fair. After so many years of being in business and coming here for great food I finally had my first bad situation. When we went in they argued with us over a price of something that we had just got the day before cuz there was someone different there and they told us they would do it upon getting the food when we got home opening our burritos both of our burritos had a dead spider inside of them cooked into the food needless to say my dog got to eat our burritos that day and I will not be coming back to...
