In a strip mall lies this non-descript “order at the counter” restaurant. But for $4.49 their Burrito Especial is huge, and their $2.49 Tacos are also a hit.
Chips & salsa are free - just pile on as many chips as you can when you’re ordering at the line.
This place happens to be near a fancy private elementary school in a nearby residential neighborhood (The Pegasus School)…but the location here is definitely down home, and so are the diners.

Gloria’s Burritos

On my way down to the ‘burbs (on a Saturday, there’s hardly any traffic in the middle of the day), I swung by a strip mall to check out some legit Mexican food. Until I walked in, it was only Spanish spoken here.
I ordered the Carne Asada Burrito (a la carte) for $4.50. I was gonna get it to go but then I saw their yummy salsas on the table. I wanted to try those out, too, but if you’re getting takeout, the chips ‘n salsa are $2 extra.

Thumbs up go to El Burrito Express for serving a great, cheap burrito that does not drip!

Mon - Sat: 11am - 9pm
Who can beat meat burritos for $3.50 (and this is after they’ve recently raised prices from $3.10!)? Not only that, they don’t skimp on the ingredients — you get a normally-sized flour tortilla (you can pick a flavor) with rice, beans, guacamole, onions, tomatoes, and your choice of grilled steak, grilled pork, grilled chicken, or the pull chicken. Orders come with a bag of chips (though I have always had to ask for the little container of salsa to go along with it).
