Amigos Tacos — Restaurant in Manhattan Beach

As a Californian, I firmly believe this place should not be allowed to sell breakfast burritos, which are a staple in our state. I ordered two burritos with eggs, bacon, cheese, and a hashbrown. To my shock, after taxes, the total came to $29. Sure, it’s Manhattan Beach, but still.

The disappointment didn’t stop there. They fried and flattened the eggs, and the burritos were so small they resembled flat sandwiches. The lack of depth made every bite taste like just tortilla. On top of that, the cheese was only on one side (tucked in a corner), there was barely any bacon, and the eggs were flat and greasy. For $29, this was unacceptable. I estimate the ingredients probably cost $4 or $5, so the rest must have gone toward their overhead.

I’m fine with paying for good food, but this was easily the worst burrito I’ve ever had. As a proud Californian, I feel compelled to say something. I’ve never left a bad review before, but this place deserves a one-star rating. To add insult to injury, I’m still hungry and had to resort to eating granola while typing this.

To the owner, I impore you to think about food quality/presentation as a first priority before adding...

I may have enjoyed my tacos more if my ordering experience were better. There was nobody in line. I stood there waiting for 5 minutes. I recieved no greetings or acknowledgement of my presents from the young man that was cooking. One couple were just finishing their food and there was a father with 2 small children waiting on their's. Finally a young lady came to the register to take my order. 15mins later I stood up wondering why my order of 5 taco's is taking so long. Again no acknowledgement. No friendly "sorry its taking so long" or "your order will be ready in a minute we ran out of (whatever)." Whoever owns this place needs to train their staff about treating customers as guests in their own home and the only reason they are getting a paycheck. The tacos were ok. Not sure...

I’m in town on another review and being from SoCal originally I needed a quick fix this morning with Mexican food. Specifically a chili relleno burrito. Now I’m a carnivore but this burrito has always had a place in my heart. Today was absolutely not a disappointment!! The burrito was great!! All the ingredients were fresh and added in perfect ratios! I’ll be stopping at several restaurants today to review but I have to say I might just sneak back here tonight and get another for my plane ride tomorrow! It was that good!! The staff is very friendly and the food is prepared quickly. The salsa given was good as much as I was hoping to sample from their salsa bar...
