Review El Burrito Gordo - Oakland

Cameron Smith
I had a carnita plate with some flour tortillas....quite possibly the best carnitas I've ever had. Very friendly atmosphere! There's construction work going on around the corner so lunch is a bit busy with workers....but they will make room for you. Don't pass on this place....well worth the squeeze!

I ate here for lunch a bit after 1pm, and the place was thankfully not crowded. Tried their carne asada burrito, which was made amazingly fast and tasted good. I wasn't asked what type of beans I wanted, so I assume they just use refried, which was okay (I prefer pinto). Free warm chips and different varieties of salsa are a plus. I'll come back here whenever I need a burrito fix.

My experience here wasn't the best. The service and the staff were friendly however, the food wasn't so pleasant. Received a taco salad without lettuce and replaced with chips (Nachos anyone?). The meat wasn't seasoned at all and the chips were sort of hard. I think I'm going to give them another try before I write them off. Me being Latin American, I know this wasn't the best that everyone has told me it was.

Friendly and fast service. Portions are fine and self serve on chips. There are also several options on salsa.
