Chini's Burritos — Restaurant in Coral Springs

I have lived in Coral Springs for 12 years, but I have never been, to my detriment, to this small casual Mexican restaurant that has been here for 23 years. The owners, Chini and Neri Enriquez, hail originally from Chiapas, Mexico, the southernmost state in the country, adjoining Guatemala.

The menu is very curated compared to other taquerias locally, and the majority of the customers are Americans. Burritos and Tacos are the focus, but they also have stuff like chilaquiles and serve fish tacos (which most places locally do not).

I ordered breakfast, huevos a la ranchera, and an order of tamales rajas (3). I tried to order the eggs with chorizo, but sra. Enriquez insisted I order it correctly — on the side — so I wasn't going to question that.

All the ingredients for the food here are sourced from their family businesses in Chicago, including the chorizo and the tortillas made in Chicago, so everything tastes a bit different from stuff locally. The chorizo is excellent but oily, and you'll want to suck that up with tortillas.

Rajas also were very good, with queso fresco and poblano chiles in it. Nicely seasoned.

While the food itself is not spicy, they will offer you some of their homemade chile de arbol sauce, which is explosively hot (to me, anyway) so I encourage you to try that, and don't dump it on unless you know what you are...

Chini's Burritos is tucked away in a shopping plaza in a location that is easy to miss if driving by. Dining in at the restaurant is currently not allowed due to COVId-19 restrictions but there are two small tables just outside the restaurant where you could sit down and eat your meal.

I ordered the Original Burrito with steak and my wife ordered the Enchiladas Verdes. We also ordered a side of Homemade Guacamole with Chips.

The Steak Burrito had a good combination of flavors which consisted of homemade pinto beans, rice, Mexican cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. A red and green sauce accompanied the food which complimented the burrito well. I believe the red sauce was supposed to be a little bit spicier than the green one, however neither were really spicy to me. Portion size was good especially for the price tag of $9.49. My wife also enjoyed her Enchiladas.

Both the guacamole and chips were homemade and tasted great. The guac does not have a smooth texture like you probably have experienced in many other Mexican restaurants and instead is chunky. However, this does not detract from the taste at all and is very good to have on the side with your meal.

For the price and taste, I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to have a traditional...

So I've come to this restaurant for 10 years and I've never had a problem until now, hell I know the family that owns it. I took my girlfriend here for lunch and my girlfriend cant eat lettuce so I asked for no lettuce on one of the burritos. The owner said ok and they made it. They made a common and simple mistake and forgot no lettuce so I simply politely asked to have it remade. She screamed at me and told me this isn't a McDonalds! Even after 10 years of going here. I guess she dosnt realise that even in restaurants there is customer service and I paid almost $30 for the food so I didn't think it would be a big deal to make a burrito that probably cost them like 10 dollars to make. So I will no longer come here after 10 years of service due to her outrageous response to a loyal customer. I dont stand for disrespect and she yelled at my girlfriend enough to put her in tears because she felt bad and the owner made a stupid scene. Anyway goodbye...
