BURRITOS ARE YUMMY!!!!!! I have had for years, the quest to find the perfect burrito. I have had many, good and bad. Some have had good burritos, but bad chips, or good chips, bad burrito and bad salsa And some places actually have the nerve to charge you for chips, something that should be complimentary. I am a sucker for homemade chips, and homemade salsa. They can make or break a burrito shops rating. I, also being a vegetarian, have to rate places on what options they have available for non-meat eaters. Basically, no place has been perfect yet. I started this web page to let people know which taquerias to eat at and which ones to avoid. If you are a meat eater, Scroll down to guest reviewer Jorges meat reviews.

I hope the up coming changes that are about to happen will make you happy. Episode #2 8-10-06 During my latest absence from updating this page, I discovereda killer burrito in Lodi, had to avoid a burrito (due to excessive cost) in Petaluma, and saw a couple of movies. (Clerks II kicks ass by the way.) So, its time to update the page. Episode # 1 7-13-06 Sorry I have been so lazy and not updating this site, I have been way too busy working and I also have been on a Chinese food kick. In fact, if you are ever in Livermore, and crave fast Chinese food I recommend China taste on North Livermore Ave. they are like a panda express except the food is actually good. They havent done much business since they have been in town, and I wish everyone would try them so they dont end up out of business. They are super nice people and will make you whatever is not in the steam table. They also have awesome and larger egg rolls that put panda express to shame. The prices, are pretty decent too. You can get a 2 item plate plus rice or chow mein for $5.50. The chow mein is awesome. Everyone please try this place. Save them. You will like it I guarantee it. So far, the best burritos I have had in the Bay Area are: pancho villa, El castillito Most recently reviewed: gorditos Worst burritos so far: el faro, 360* gourmet, luna azul Best chips: pancho villa, Anitas, los primos Best salsa: taqueria azteca, Anitas, pancho villa Okay here are the reviews: Aldabertos (lodi- right off I-5) B This place kind of reminded me of how taco bell was before it was owned by pepsi. Remember those days? When it was actually pretty good? And, it wasnt quite as bad for you. In fact there was a time where taco bell was the lesser of all the evil fast foods. Those days are gone forever. Anyways, adalbertos was like a taco bell that looked like a real taqueria. The burrito itself wasnt horrible, it was small, but pretty cheap. They had whole beans and refried beans, store bought chips and salsa that was actually good and pico salsa that was homemade. So it was almost like a tqueria, but tasted closer to old school taco bell. Which is actually pretty good. Sorry if this review made no sense, I am half asleep at this moment. Anitas taqueria (railroad ave., Livermore) B+/A- Its an authentic Mexican style restaurant, burrito was very good, slightly costly, (over 6 bucks) and they had homemade chips and salsa. It was definitely a knife and fork burrito, huge messy and filling. Service was okay, a little slow but they were understaffed when I was there. This place has awesome margaritas too. Baja Fresh (chain store, they are every where) B Not bad, they dont use any cans, MSG or microwaves, everything is fresh, fresh homemade chips, many different salsas to choose from, (I would avoid the Baja salsa it tastes like soy sauce.) I usually combine the red hot stuff with the pico, as usual the pico tastes better but isnt hot enough. Combined, they taste pretty damn good. The veggies are grilled so they are a bit greasy. They dont put rice in the burritos so you need to ask for that. The service is a bit slow since everything is made to order. This place has my favorite chips, sometimes that is enough to get me there. Be careful ordering the veggie stuff though, they do use the same grill and some times you may get a nasty chunk of beef in it. Canceria consequtio taqueria (Livermore) B- Burrito was very good and cheap, but they did not offer chips and salsa. This forced the lower rating. Service was not very good, and they didnt have much for vegetarians to enjoy. They did offer whole beans, but didnt have a vegetarian burrito offered on the menu so, you pretty much have to order creatively. The place is in a mini-mart and you have to go to the mini-mart portion to get your drinks. I didnt like that, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Burrito was pretty big, required a knife and fork. Cancun (San Francisco) B+ (they just raised there pricesgonna change this score from an A- to a B+) Every year this place gets voted best burrito in SF, in the Bay guardian readers poll. It definitely is one of the best. Anytime I am near a Cancun, I have to get a burrito from there. There are plenty of options for vegetarians. Instead of guacamole, you get fresh avocado slices. This just makes it super special. Black beans and whole beans are offered, and, they do give you chips free. (They are store bought and sometimes are stale.) The salsa is very good. Homemade pico and guacamole style green. The service is ok, but since they dont use any sort of number system, orders often get mixed up. Carmens taqueria express (market St. SF) B- Right next to the bart station. Burrito was decent, under 4 bucks and a decent size; they did have black beans but not a lot of vegetarian items. The chips and salsa were free. The chips were store bought, but not horrible though. They were thicker style chips. The salsa came in a container too small to dip the chips into, and was definitely store bought. Tasted kind of sweet, reminded me of sweet & sour. The service was ok, but it is worth it to walk the extra block to Cancun taqueria. Castillito (mason & market SF) B Better than el charro was when it occupied this location, but the chips still suck. They still offer a choice of tortillas and beans. Prices are still the same. The salsa is no longer homemade but was not too bad for something from a jar. Green salsa is the guacamole style, the red was a jarred pico style. Chavos (SF) B Not bad, but not anything to get real excited over. They have lots of options for vegetarians, black beans and whole beans. Store bought chips, (but they are free) and, homemade salsa. Store hours are really bad. I havent been there in so long, I am not really sure if they are still in business. thanks to a friendly email from Ben, I was informed that this place is still open, but the hours still suck. Chipotle (chain store, everywhere) C This place had too much of an American style. I was sick for 2 days after eating there. Burrito was under 5 bucks, and they make it however you want it. The rice just wasnt right, it tasted too much like Chinese rice, and I think thats what made me ill. I dont like to mix ethnicities. Chips are store bought, and are very salty. They also charge you for them. But the salsa is very good. Service is good too. Dos Amigos (Geary St. SF) B Good price for a decent burrito. They only thing that was strange was that there were cucumbers in the veggie burrito. I have never had cucumbers in a burrito before, and wasnt expecting it to be good. There were plenty of vegetarian options, black beans, whole beans offered. They had homemade chips (free) and yummy homemade salsa. The service was fast & friendly. El Balazo(San Ramon, SF) B- Where do I start with this place? Well, the burrito itself is not too bad. The price is under 4 bucks, plenty of vegetarian options, complimentary chips (store bought) good salsa. BUT, the service sucks and the employees talk shit about you in Spanish while they are making your food. If you know Spanish and dont look it, try giving your order in espanol. Wait till after they talk shit about you though, then watch the look on their faces. They will make your burrito quick and PHAT. I went to a new el balazo in hacienda business park in pleasanton, and, well lets just say, the prices were way to high. 6 bucks for basic burrito with beans, rice and salsa. There was also wayyyyy too much cheese and it made me ill. Other than that, it was pretty much the same. Not a place I will return to. El castillito (Livermore, SF) A- Great burrito, every burrito is under 4 bucks. Veggie is under 3. Whole beans offered, no black beans. Steamed tortillas not grilled, so its really hot when you get it. Store bought chips, complimentary, bottomless, variety of homemade salsas. Service is fast and friendly. EL Charro(mason st @market) B Not as good as la trampa, which occupied this same location. I was thoroughly disappointed. Burrito isnt quite as big, but the price is about the same, (between 5 and 6 bucks) the chips are no longer homemade, are store bought and stale. They still offer different tortillas, black & whole and refried beans. They used round tomato slices instead of pico and I thought that was just odd, especially when you add the hot salsa. just too tomatoey. (still not sure if thats even a word) updateonce again changed names. See castillito El Chorizo/Chile Verde (6th St. at market, SF) C Not the best burrito I have had, but far from the worst. Its 50 feet away from a Cancun, maybe 100, I will choose Cancun over this place every time. Low price, offers black beans, store bought chips, complimentary, store bought salsa (only the green kind. ewww.) El coyote junction (sacramento) A- Here I had a big freekin burrito. They were medium priced and they had vegetarian options, homemade chips, bottomless, and home made salsa. Yum! What I liked about this place though was that there is a huge cantina portion of the restaurant with a huge dance floor. They told me they have dj dancing on Friday and Saturday nights they also had a mariachi band that plays on Sunday afternoons while you are eating. This can be annoying or interesting depending on how you look at it. Good service and you can eat at the bar. I avoided the mariachi band by eating in the bar. Oh yeah and the burrito, fuckin rocked. El Faro (junipero serra, SO.SF) D By far, the worst burrito I have had. It was awful. Price was decent, vegetarian options but they dont offer black or whole beans. How many times do I need to express that carrots do not belong in a burrito? This place also had big slices of bad tomatoes. Ewww, I will stay away Store bought chips, and salsa from a jar. Eww, eww ewww. El Gallo (Santa Rita rd., Pleasanton) B Burrito itself was not bad. They used whole pinto beans instead of refried. They didnt offer black beans. It came with fresh lettuce, and the tortilla was steamed not grilled. The price was decent, under 5 bucks for a medium sized burrito. They did not give me chips, I am not sure if they charge you for them or not. I wasnt in the mood to be asking. Next time, I will inquire about that. The pico style salsa was very good, hot red salsa was kind of gross. As far as the service, well that was one of the reasons I wasnt in the mood to ask about the chips. It seemed to be young kids with no adult supervision and not really wanting to be too customer friendly. The service wasnt terrible, but it wasnt all that great. I would definitely go there again, but I wont go out of my way. EL Gorditio (old first ST. Livermore) A Here is the closest to perfect so far. YUM! Vegetarian burrito costs 5 bucks, but its huge. The chips are store bought but you get a sealed bag and its pretty big. They have homemade salsa that is very good, and decent service.---- sad to say this place went out of business 10/04---- El Gran Taco (Broadway, SF) B- Sometimes, the best burritos are in the places that look like the worst. I avoided this place for months. I thought this place looked like it was a shit hole. Right smack in between strip clubs, it is a well-hidden secret in the red light district. When I needed new places to review, I figured I would hit this place. One of the best burritos I have had. Its under 5 bucks, and, there are vegetarian options. But they charge you for chips (store bought), and they charge you for salsa. Sometimes chips are free, I guess thats if you go on the right day. There is a language barrier so you may want to give your order carefully. El Graneo de oro (Pacifica) B- This place is primarily a grocery store for Mexican food, so they have fresh homemade everything. The prices ranged from 4- 6 bucks for the burritos. There is a good selection for vegetarian items and they do offer black beans, whole beans and refried beans. The burrito was pretty damn good, and pretty big. The salsa they put in the burrito had a very unique taste, one that stays with you for a day or two and you want it again. Its the crack for burritos. The chips you had to pay for so I did not try them this time. Service was pretty good, fast and friendly. El Lorito (Livermore) B- More of an authentic style, pretty good, under 5 bucks and its pretty big. Vegetarian options, whole beans offered, chips are complimentary, store bought but restaurant style. Salsa was nasty, tasted like marinara sauce. (Not good on chips) ---- went out of business----- 10/04... It is now a La Tapitita Fillmore caf and mexican grill (fillmore & geary SF) B- Many veggie options, serves black beans, every burrito is about 6 bucks, and they do give you decent store bought chips and homemade salsa. My only real complaint is that the burritos come in spinach tortillas. I prefer flour or wheat. You can get these if you ask. The fresh veggie burrito had weird veggies in it. Not just your usual lettuce, tomato and guac. Broccoli was in there. Weird for me but, it didnt taste horrible, just different. Also, the place is run by Asians. Not that thats a bad thing I just dont know if its worse than having a white boy making my burrito. Al things considered, the people are very friendly and its nice to have a burrito within walking distance of the fillmore. So next time youre waiting for a show, give it a try. Gorditos (the one I went to was inside thunder valley casino, in Lincoln) B So the burrito itself was just ok. Whole beans instead of refried, rice inside, lettuce, sour cream and guac. The chips were store bought but were the good kind. You know, the kind that if put under a heat lamp could pass for homemade? The salsa was the runny homemade style of pico. But, probably came from a jar. They had plenty of options for non-carnavores, and did not charge for chips. Prices werent outta hand but hard to judge, since this particular location was inside a casino. Ill update and add details to this review once I visit a regular location The only thing that really caused the lower score was the fact that I had to make 3 trips to the toilet before an hour passed. Dont know why but the burrito did not like me. Guadalajara (Oakland) B Not really a fancy restaurant, from the outside it looks fancy, to much open space on the inside. Almost like a dennys or diner type place. But, on to whats important burrito was huge, and only 6 bucks, but they only offered refried beans I tasted so few in the burrito I wasnt sure they put them in. all I could taste was lettuce. Chips were free, thick homemade style. Salsa was runny style, and, too tomatoey if thats a wordand a bit too much black pepper. But, the more chips you ate, the more you didnt notice. Service was a bit slow. La Burrita (Berkeley) B+ Less than 4 bucks will buy you a tasty burrito. This place has its own unique taste and you will crave it after eating there. They have plenty of items for vegetarians and offer black beans. Chips are homemade, bottomless and complimentary. The salsa is not homemade, but the green stuff is actually decent here. Red stuff was kind of gross. The service was friendly and fairly quick. La Fiesta taqueria (Alhambra blvd, sac) A- So far, the best I have had since living in sac. Good prices, from 5-6 bucks, lots of veggie options including black and whole beans. Complimentary, bottomless chips (although they are bought and not homemade), a variety of tasty salsa, and awesome tasting burritos. What I really liked about the burrito at this place was the sour cream. I dont know what brand they used but, the sour cream tasted fresh and they didnt pile it on. And it tasted awesome. La Fuerta (Livermore) D (I think they may have changed their name.) Although this place is more authentic, something was not right. The cost was way too expensive for what the taste warranted. It was on the gross side. A knife and fork were necessary to eat this burrito. It was messy. There were no vegetarian items on the menu, only refried beans offered. The chips were store bought, but not bad. Salsa was terrible, tasted like ketchup. The service could have been better. La Paz (Turk St. SF) B Good, burritos under 5 bucks, veggie items offered, black beans and whole beans. Homemade, complimentary chips (but they were overcooked) salsa was good, homemade and HOT. Friendly service but its smack in the middle of da ghetto. La piata (san leandro) B Huge, Huge, Huge not the cheapest but you can get the super size for a couple bucks more and you have your next two meals covered. Black, whole or refried beans are offered. The chips are homemade but usually are over cooked so they arent that good. The salsa is homemade runny style, and pretty yummy. Service is sometimes slow because they are usually pretty busy, but they are open late and serve awesome margaritas. LA Quinta (mission st. SF) A- Maybe its because I havent been eating burritos lately, but yesterday I had one of the best burritos ever. This burrito was freekin huge and costed me 4 bucks. When I asked they told me they only had refried beans, but it wasnt bad because the refried were more like whole pinto beans so it lacked that lard feel they serve them wet, but even if they didnt, you would not be able to pick it up. Definitely a fork required. They had homemade chips, and even though they were overcooked, they still tasted pretty damn good. The salsa was the hot runny style, homemade. It was very good, not too hot but not mild. The service was a bit slow but it was worth it. La Salsa (chain store, everywhere) B- Burritos arent bad, but I think I had the worst burrito mess ever in this place, when I bit into my burrito and it busted open on the bottom. Black bean juice went everywhere, and rice all in my lap. Price is low, under 5 bucks. They dont have many vegetarian options, chips are homemade style but store bought. They have many different varieties of salsa and most of them are good. Try the mango salsa for something different. La Tapitita (Daly City) C Good burrito, under 5 bucks, but they didnt have too many vegetarian options. They did offer whole beans, but no black, Chips and salsa were not offered. Good and friendly service. La Taqueria (SF) B- Burrito was basically good, but it was a bit small for the 6 bucks it costed. They do have a vegetarian burrito on the menu, however they do not offer black beans. Whole beans are fine with me. The burrito was a bit under stuffed, making it kind of flimsy and hard to hold in your hand without making a huge mess. Would have been great with some rice, but they dont put rice in their burritos. The chips were store bought but not bad, they do charge you for them. The salsa though: yummy pico, hot, fresh, and homemade. I want to try this place again so I can be sure. I have heard too many good things about it and this review isnt what I have heard. La Trampa (Mason St, SF) A Burrito was very filling, low priced and huge. There were many options for vegetarians, black beans and whole beans offered. They also offer a variety of tortillas. They had thick restaurant style chips, possibly store bought, but still good. Salsa was yummy homemade pico. They did have Quick and friendly service. This place is under new ownership/ management and is no longer La trampa..( it is now EL charroplease see el charro for a review. Los Amigos (Springtown blvd, livermore) B+ The menu here very much resembled that of Los Primos, but the prices seemed a bit more for most items, it also does not have the luxury of being open 24/7. As far as the breakfast burritos, I liked. Not too greasy, just about right on the cheese to grease factor. The prices were okay, around 4-5 bucks. Bean and cheese burritos are about 3 bucks. I had the veggie burrito. I was disappointed. It reminded me so much of a 7-layer burrito from taco bell, I could not finish. It was not horrible, but when I go to a taqueria and pay 4 bucks for a burrito, I do not want something as wretched as taco bell. They did however have awesome chips, you can get a big bag for a buck, but sometimes they give you small bags with your burrito. They also had decent salsa. Not the best, but just okay. No black beans offered, just refried. Los Calipores (1st street, Livermore) A Burrito was pretty good and filling. Most burritos there are under 5 bucks and huge. Vegetarian items offered, black beans and whole beans. They serve complimentary, store-bought chips, and yummy hot pico salsa. Service was decent. Los Metatas (colma) B I used to eat at this place every day when I worked down the street in colma, (the only decent burrito in that area) I hadnt been there in years, and happened to be in that neighborhood. Of course, I had to get my burrito fix. The place has changed, they no longer have black beans, but they do serve whole beans, and they have a lot vegetarian items on the menu. The chips are store bought, and arent very good. They did add the luxury of a self-serve salsa bar. The salsa bar has 4 different kinds: pico (good), green (gross), hot (runny style, not bad) and medium (gross). The burrito was not bad but the cheese was strange, it was chunks instead of grated and it didnt feel to good in my stomach. Los pericos (san leandro) B+ Good and cheap. Not very big, but for under 3 bucks you can get a bean and cheese burrito. The vegetarian is under 4. Plenty of vegetarian options but no black beans, just whole or refried. Chips are free, store bought, but good quality. Plenty of salsas to choose from in a self serve salsa bar. Stay away from the green stuff. It was nasty, but the pico was pretty damn good. The service was pretty fast. Los primos (Vasco rd, Livermore) A (I just raised the score since I found out they are open 24 hours a day) Not a whole lot of vegetarian options but for a burrito shop that is inside a gas station, I would have to say its pretty damn good. Chips are homemade, but cost a buck. They are good and you get a huge bag. They are thin, crisp, & salty. The salsa is homemade and free. There are 3 different types of salsa and they are all good. (I like to mix the pico style with the hot) Burritos are between 5 and 6 bucks and are pretty big, except they only have refried beans. (And that combined with the guacamole, look out! drive with the window down!) This is a well kept secret in Livermore, one of the best burritos in town. Los Super Burrito (SF) B About 5 or 6 bucks will buy you a decent burrito that is pretty big. They have vegetarian items, and offer whole beans. They have store bought chips, with a bottomless supply and home made pico style salsa. They are open late, and the service is pretty good. Los Veraquos grill (Vasco Rd., Livermore) B+ This place is more of a grill, and not really a taqueria. Burrito was very good, with grilled vegetables. It was also very expensive. However, they do serve them with beans and rice on the side. The chips are homemade and very yummy. The salsa is the runny style, homemade and hot. Service is a little bit slow. This place is great if you have the extra money and the time. Luna auzul (Metreon, SF) D Where do I start? The burrito was disgusting, overpriced and they only had refried beans. I had the grilled veggie, normally this would be good, but here it came with refried beans. Grilled veggies just dont work with refried beans. Its too much fat and grease. Lets just say, I made about 6 trips to the toilet within an hour after eating here. It costed me 8 bucks and it was not worth it. The chips were over cooked. The salsa was gross. Thats all I can say. It was just nasty. Palapas Taco bar (Pine St, SF) B+ Let me start by saying, this was the first time in a long time where I did not finish my burrito. It was just under 6 bucks, and it was fucking huge. They offer black, whole, and refried beans, a variety of tortillas and, there are plenty of vegetarian items on the menu. I ate the sauted vegetable burrito. The chips you had to pay for. They use all different kinds of tortillas for them. The chips were too thick and over cooked. They were so big that the bag of chips you paid 75 cents for had only about 5 chips in it. As for the salsa, they had four different varieties.1) mild (tomato salsa. It was pretty good) 2) medium, (red runny style.) 3) fiery hot, (I didnt try this kind, because it was green and I have had bad experiences with green salsa). 4) Very hot (red runny style but it really wasnt that hot.) as far as the service goes, they arent open past 3 pm, so that kind of sucks. They are really busy at the lunch hour, but they work very fast and the line moves quickly. While you are waiting in line, you can sample the chips for free. Overall, this was a great burrito experience, not too expensive and a huge, tasty, and filling burrito. I just think the chips could have been better. Poncho villa (16t & mission, SF) A I have been craving a burrito ever since eating here. This is the first burrito in SF that I think may be better than Cancun. There is an entire vegetarian menu, black beans, whole beans or refried. The prices rang form 3.65 to 5.25 and not too huge, but a pretty good size. Chips were homemade and free. They were also thin, crisp, and warm. They have a self-service salsa bar with many options of salsa. This place did it smart. They have hot pico de gallo. So many times at places I have to mix the hot runny stuff with the pico, because the pico tastes better, but its usually not hot enough. They make the pico with jalapenos, the way I like it. They also have a real Mexican restaurant feel, and a mariachi duo playing music for you while you eat. Service was a bit chaotic, because it was really busy, but the burrito was worth the wait. Qdabos (eight mile rd, Lodi) A-/B+ I was driving home from sacramento, was starving, saw a shopping center up ahead and figured it was as good a place as any to eat. I saw what I thought was a Quiznos and got a little closer to find that the much similar logo was actually a burrito place. Cool, thatll do, is what I was thinking. This was kind of like a chipotle. Same style. But the burrito was much better. They make it the way you want it, and they had all types of beans and a bunch of different veggie items. What I liked about this place was that the burrito truly had a unique flavor. After youve had enough burritos, most of them start to taste quite similar. What they do here is, the rice is cooked with lime juice, and you really taste it. White jasmine rice, with lime juice. Plus the burrito was relatively huge and they all range between 5 and 6 dollars. Chips werent free unfortunately, so I did not try them this time. But, the salsa that was in the burrito was awesome. It was the runny, hot, red kind. Next time I go there Im gonna check out the chip situation. Service was quick and friendly. Ricos (Columbus ave., SF) A- I liked this place because of the originality of the items on the menu. They did have the regular stuff, you know, beef, chicken, and veggie burritos, but they also had other options. Such as, what I had ordered, the popeye burrito. The popeye consists of: black beans, rice, Spinach, marinated mushrooms and salsa. You can pay extra and get beef or chicken added. The prices werent too bad, the bean and rice burrito was $3.95 (add a dollar for sour cream or extras.) Popeye was 5.95, the meat burritos were about the 6.95 (this is what gave it the A-) chips were homemade and free. The salsa was not the best, the red stuff tasted too much like that you would purchase in a store, I couldnt tell if it was homemade or store bought. The green stuff wasnt too bad, thats saying a lot coming from me, I normally dont even bother tasting the green stuff. You definitely need a fork and knife with the burritos here, its big enough to fill you up and make a mess, yet is small enough to finish. Service was a bit slow. San Jose taqueria (24th & Mission SF) A-/B+ One of the best I have had in a long time, but simce I havent been in a burrito mood lately, it may not be saying much. But it was damn good. Burrito was medium priced most ranged from 5-6 dollars. They serve whole, black or refried beans. A variety of homemade salsa, the pico was very good, the hot was more of a picante style it wasnt so great on the chips but awesome on the burrito. I didnt try the green. The chips were store bought, but you do get a good size basket and its complimentary. Burrito was served fast, was a decent size and evenly stuffed, with Each flavor coming through at the same time. Yum! Taqueria Azteca (Amador plaza rd, Dublin) A Not authentic style, they taste how burritos taste when white guys are running the restaurant. (We just cant seem to get it right ya know?) The burritos are good though. The Veggie veggie is stuffed with all sorts of fresh vegetables. Burritos are under 5 bucks, and are huge. (and thats not even the super size) There are tons of vegetarian options, black beans and whole beans offered. Store bought chips, but the supply is bottomless. They have a bunch of different homemade salsas to try. (I recommend the screamer salsa.) Service is very friendly. Taqueria cansuelito (Vasco rd, Livermore) B+ Huge, vegetarian was 4 bucks. Meat burritos are 5. Whole beans offered (no black), the cheese was weird though. It was chunks, crumbled. Kind of like the feta or blue cheese chunks you would find in a salad, but it was regular jack cheese. The chips were 75 cents for a basket, a pretty big basket, but they were store bought and not the best. The salsa was not bad, runny style medium hot. I was glad to discover this place. The burrito I had there was definitely one of the better in the middle of suburban Hicksville of Livermore. Taqueria el zorro (Columbus @ Broadway, SF) B+ Yummy burrito, low priced (under 5 bucks) many vegetarian options, including black beans, are offered. The grilled veggie has a unique taste, if you are in the mood for a different taste in a burrito; the regular veggie is also good. Chips are store bought, and they charge you. Salsa is very good, homemade and there are a few different choices. The pico style is really good, even the hot green stuff is good. They are open late at night, which is great for me, if I am hungry at 2 am I can get a burrito..Update 12/05 they switched from the homemade salsa to the store bought kind. Its not very good. Taqueria express (Geary St., SF) B+ One of the better burritos I have had in a long time, very unique tasting. I think this was due to the marinated veggies. The vegetarian burrito has: marinated veggies, rice, salsa and beans. Cheese sour cream and guacamole are extra. Cost: $3.50. The meat burritos are $5.25. They offer black, whole or refried beans. Chips are round store bought chips. I didnt try the salsa because they charged for this. $1.00. There is a language barrier when ordering so service may be a bit slow, but I would definitely go here again. Update 3/20/06 name has been changed will update with more info later Taqueria Vallerta (Lathrop) B- I was unable to finish, I dont know if it was my lack of appetite do to just getting over being very sick, or if the burrito was nasty, but I did not enjoy. They did not have black beans, but they did say they offered whole beans. I asked for that, but it sure tasted like I was given refried. The chips were complimentary, but they were store bought. The pico salsa was not bad, however the hot sauce tasted like tomato sauce. It was very nasty. The green stuff was like most green salsa, obviously from a jar, and tasted like snot. Taquillas (No Livermore ave. @ 1st st., Livermore) B+ Burrito is decent, not authentic style, but low priced and a good size. Vegetarian options are available, and they offer both black beans and whole beans. Chips are store bought, but, complimentary. They are the good kind of store bought chips though, thick & tasty. The homemade pico style is good, so is the hot stuff. I didnt try the others, but there were 3 other options. Service is quick, decent. Taquillas # 2 (N. vasco rd., Livermore) B-/C+ Where do I start? Burrito wasnt bad if you like to taste nothing but lettuce. I think I only spotted 2 or 3 beans inside my burrito. I didnt taste any. They only served whole beans and refried. I wasnt offered chips so I dont know the chips and salsa situation. The prices however, Were pretty low. Ranged from 3.75 to about 5 dollars. 360* gourmet burritos (chain store, they are everywhere) C This one is more of an American style burrito (another place run by white guys), under 5 bucks. Something about fresh, crisp lettuce in a burrito that just does not do it for me. Lettuce needs to be shredded in a burrito, big chunks just arent right. There are plenty of vegetarian options available. They offer black beans but not whole beans. Chips are store bought and they charge you. Salsa is from a can, and it was nasty. The red stuff tastes like ketchup, and the green stuff tastes like snot. Una Mas (chain, everywhere) B- I like carrots, when I am at a party in a deli tray with a bowl of ranch for dipping, however, in my burrito I dont want them. Once I picked out all the carrots out of my burrito at this place, it really was actually pretty good. Chips were free, homemade and damn good. Salsa however, was kind of on the yucky side. The fresca was good, the ranchera tasted like barbecue sauce, and the hot wasnt even very hot. The veggie burrito was under 6 bucks, but they do offer the el cheapo which is just beans, rice and salsa for under 4 bucks. Velascos (Washington st.,Petaluma)C+ For the first time since creating burritosareyummy.com, I did not order a burrito in a taqueria. One look at the menu, I was like screw that $8.95 for a veggie. I think I will have a quesadilla they did have free, homade chips that were quite good and the salsa was just how I like it, (pico style a little bit runny and hot). The service was also a bit slow. Maybe one day when I have the extra cash, I will go there again and give it a chance at a better review. But not now. Yunzas (fillmore st., SF) C+ This is actually a Peruvian caf and Mexican grill. The burrito was good but strange. I have had burritos with corn, and it wasnt horrible. This burrito however, had green peas in it. That was too weird for me. It would have been much better without the peas. Burrito was under 6 bucks. And service was friendly. Yes it came with chips, but no salsa. If you eat there, you get salsa. I guess they just didnt have to go cups for it or something. Anyways, if you are looking for something strange, this is your burrito. Update: this place is now under a different name and new owner. I will update more when I can visit the place Zona rosa (Berkeley, SF) B- Burrito wasnt anything special, but it wasnt bad. They offered whole beans, no black and had a few vegetarian items on the menu. They had store bought chips, but they were complimentary. The salsa was just OK. Basically, its not disgusting. Places I am going to be venturing into next: Alameda, Berkeley, San Jose, and the mission district in SF I am looking for good places in Hayward so if you know any, email me. If you are ever in the Hollywood area Los Burritos on Hollywood Blvd. Just north of highland YUMMMMM Dos Burritos on Hollywood Blvd. and vine is open late, but kind of on the nasty side(I hear this place went out of business. Too bad.) ATTENTION MEAT EATERS!!!!!!! Please welcome guest reviewer Jorge!!! 1/15/07 Well, today my wife was bugging me that she wanted a burrito so, I said WTF. So, we go to this place not to far from where we live on the DC/SF line, up Geveva towards Mission St. kinda in front of the Walgreens on Geneva and Mission. La Iguana Azul, or the Blue Iguana, they have this really big TV, that they play all these reggaeton videos. They do get points b/c the guy offered to change the channel so my daugther could watch cartoons. The food however was another story. They do offer a Veggie for those of you out there. The meat variety however was less than spectacular, lets say. The meat was very dry, and they put way to much sour cream. They do have a cold salsa bar on ice, witch is always good, and they do offer more than one style of beans. Not bad. To sum it all up, I guess I would go there again, in a pinch. But not by choice. ~ J 1/10/07 I went to Tacos Uruapan on Huntwood Ave. in Hayward for dinner tonight. I had the carnitas (deep fried pork) burrito, with sour cream. First let me say...the chips are great here. Nice, light andcrisp.Store bought, but some of the best chips I have tasted in a long time. That is the ONLY good thing about this place. First, they forgot the sour cream in my burrito, then it was all down hill from there. The carnitas was very bland, it was missing something. I wanna say it was salt, but there was something else. They do have an iced salsa bar, witch was nice.My co-worker ordered a Supercarne asada, that I tooka bite of, and this was also horrid. The meat was dry and flavor-less.The horchata was delightful, and the cashier girl was rather cute. Maybe they were having an off night, but the people still kept coming in for some reason. Either I have high standards for burritos or I have been spoiled by living in SF and havingsuch good places to get a burrito. This placehad no TV or no jukebox. I would not go back to this place. ~ Jorge This site is constantly being changed and updated so please check back often. More reviews to be added soon, and more changes will be made soon Suggestions?
