Best Burritos

"I have been going here for 20 years at least been the best local burritos in El Cerrito for 2 decades!"

"Heaping portions , competitive pricing , very generous cook/prepper , what more could you ask for. Very interesting blend of Asian flavors presented in a cali-mex way. Food is comparable to your average mexican spot but I gota say- I do like the kind of product that an establishment like this has to offer! Yes masa is across the street but this place definitely has earned its place among other el cerrito food options. Will definitely come back!"

"From what I understand, the ownership of this place has changed hands and things are different now. This is quite regrettable because this was one of our go to places for over two decades. During my most recent visit, communication was very poor. Had to repeat everything at least three times and even then, they didn't understand enough and messed it up. What really got me was that the prices are now at sit down restaurant level, even though Best Burrito is basically a hole in the wall take out place. I might try them again in a few months just to see if they have improved in anyway. But with the prices at this level and quality so average, I really see no reason. Adios."

"I’ve been looking for good burritos close to home — I can’t believe we slept on this place for so long. Beef and chicken were both perfectly seasoned and generously apportioned. Everything tastes fresh and freshly made. Reasonably priced, friendly folks behind the counter, and free, easy parking. An El Cerrito gem!"

"If I could do a negative star I would. My experience with this shop was the worst i was really excited to try this place for the first time. The man at register was not wearing any gloves and handled the money and made my burritos. The first issue was he took the incorrect order and tried to charge my 71 dollars for 4 burritos. I asked for 2 burritos one chicken and one steak. I waited over 30 minutes to find out that my order was incorrect. I was standing right there when the same man placed my order on a self instead of directly to me where it sat for an additional 10 minutes. Dispute all the signs that we’re telling me not to proceed with eating at this place I really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt allowed them to fix the order and took my order home as the are “Best Burrito”. When I gave my wife her burrito it was a complete mess. The tortilla was completely wet and it was not because of sweat from the foil. It was a wet that had the tortilla breaking apart to the touch. The burrito was not even rolled completely it was completely loose. The actual contents of the burrito coming out. You would have thought we took the burrito apart to look inside. My wife and I were completely disgusted. I forced myself to eat half my burrito getting angry by the minute I spent 29.30 for two of the worse burritos in my life. My wife refused to eat the burrito and forced me to take her back to get at least the portion we paid for her burrito back. When we got there she was completely dismissed although she was polite and courteous to all the staff as soon as we walked in. They didn’t even want to look at the burrito or say good morning. The same guy walked past her continued to do what he was doing and about 3 minutes of standing there finally looked at the burrito and explained that they way they roll their burritos is to use the foil to roll it and he demonstrated by balling the burrito tightly and rolling the same burrito within the tortilla. My wife told him that the burrito was completely inedible due to how wet the burrito was due to it not being rolled properly the tortilla was breaking apart to the touch. He asked what she wanted her money back? She said yes he threw the burrito at the trash open the register and gave her back 13 dollars. She said thank you and have a nice day. This was truly the most disappointed I have been with a food establishment in along time. To say the least we will not be going back"
