El Burrito Mexican Restaurant II — Restaurant in Fayetteville

This was my first visit to El Burrito. I took my daughter out to lunch for her birthday and she picked this location.

I was unfamiliar with this particular location. It wasn't difficult to find. There were plenty of parking. Once we ended the location we were greeted by the hostess, she was friendly and seated us immediately. At the time of our arrival it was not busy however once we got there a number of people came in.

El Burrito reminds me of establishment such as Mi Casita's and El Cazador. It presented what I consider the typical vibe. The restaurant was clean and the waitress brought us chips immediately, as I expected.

I noticed off hand the menus were very nice. My daughter mentioned that it appeared to be a upgrade from the previous time she had visited. The menu is extensive, I had a difficult time trying to decide what I wanted. The prices are reasonably priced and seems to be comparable to this industry.

Despite spending too much time reviewing the menu, I always end up with about the same thing. Tacos enchiladas rice. Once we finally placed our order, the food arrived in no time. Again the restaurant was not busy, but the speed of the service was amazing. I must admit, the food was incredible.

The only downside for me was the salsa. For some reason, it did not have any flavor. I tried the salsa they bring to you, and then I requested the hottest they had available, and still the same issue with the flavor.

I went to the restroom, I found that they were clean. There was toilet paper, hand soap and paper towel.

The waitress brought out the check. There was an option to scan a code with your smartphone and pay by phone. I found this to be a plus to end the visit. I was able to pay the check and leave a tip on my smartphone and walk out the door.

Overall this was a great experience, I will certainly return. If you have not tried it, I recommend...

Let me start off saying that my husband and I love Mexican food and can be a bit critical about what we eat.

They had a closer location right off Skibo that was close for us. They had outdoor seating, and we LOVED that! For some reason, they have closed and is now called La Pearla.

We went to the old location about 3 months ago. We were craving that delicious Mexican food that we love so much. We noticed when the nice lady server came to take our drink order that they were not El Burrito anymore 😕. We decided to stay and try the new place since we were already there. That was a mistake! The food is WAY different and unseasoned. Now the sweet tea was good and the chips and queso were good but we didn't go there for a snack we wanted some good food. We did not find that here.

I did some searching for another El Burrito location and found this one. Boy, AM I HAPPY I DID!!! This was the food we were looking for! EVERY TIME we come here, I tell ya, it gets BETTER AND BETTER! The service is outstanding! The sweet tea is like I made it at home! The food...almost makes me cry! My stomach dances with the deliciousness they serve to me on the plate!!! I just wish the place was bigger! This location is small, far to drive (for us), and it's in a strip mall. But, I WILL DRIVE for this food!!!

Try it. You won't be disappointed! The Pollo a la Crema is delicious 😋 😍 and my husband loves the beef tacos and beef...

Excellent Staff all around, with your traditional "Restaurant Style Mexican Food" ... as Mexicans eat quite differently at home, but this is again, your typical Mexican Style Restaurant Food. Loved the Service! It felt as if everyone worked together seamlessly to cater to our needs, exactly what everyone wants, & more businesses should do. 🤪 The only complaint is that I asked for very little ice in my drink & got a glass full of ice, with no refills, & also asked for a touch of onions on my food instead of the normal amount in their platter & got the full normal amount, if not more... Ojo con los pedidos, por favor!

Pues ahora me duele la pansita, y nó por comer mucho; pues me traje más de la mitad para la casa ... My Brother liked it just as much, if not more. We'll be back with Friends soon! Over all, excellent food service, average taste, it needs more spices, after all Mexican Food is well known for it's "hotness & spiciness"! 😅👍🤗 Gracias a todo el "Staff" todos son muy lindos... 🎶🍾💃🏻 Gracias a todos!

To the Owner: Thank you for your message in reply to my review, please be kind in addressing these little issues, ☝️🙏👍 as I like to do detailed reviews when possible, but your Staff is excellent, 🤗 the best I have found so far in NC! 💓They work very hard for you, so please; treat them well ......
