My favorite are their gorditas, they are huge and so delicious, the rajas con queso (pepper and cheese with grilled onions) is my absolute favorite

El Burrito Mexicano Real — straightforward mexican in Addison. Worth ordering a drink, because the bar holds its own, and good value. "The chicken torta was the best I have ever had in my life" — Robert Addante [$]

We stopped by on a limb, we were dropping someone off. We were pleasantly surprised. Our server was amazing and attentive. She really set the mood for an amazing visit. We came in on a Saturday afternoon had a variety of plates from tacos, caldos and chicken tenders everything was hot and delicious. We would definitely make the drive again and recommend this restaurant to anyone.

My wife and I both love Mexican food. We used to live in Nevada where excellent Mexican food is very easy to find. We are always on the lookout for a great Mexican restaurant and we found one! The young woman at the counter was very helpful and courteous. I had the chicken torta and my wife had a cheese enchilada. The chicken torta was the best I have ever had in my life! My wife loved her cheese enchilada! I hope that many people will give this restaurant a try so that they can make it. Excellent service and excellent food!

I tried the tacos. The chicken taco was nicely seasoned. The shrimp was really delicious and well made. It was delicious and the portion was good. The price was bit high. They have a good dining space and the service was good and faster. They had a pretty good menu options to choose.

Do not recommend! Had my boyfriend pick up food for the first time here and the food is poor quality. Horrible!!!! My food had something in, the first bite in the burrito had a hard piece of something. Food smelt bad. Never again. Save your money and time and get some real Mexican food, else where.

If you are into those old, dirty taco shops like you would find in SoCal, Las Vegas, or Phoenix, then this place is right up your alley. I am so I go here regularly. The food is cheap, tasty, and plentiful, like 99 cent tacos on Tuesdays.

The tacos, rice and beans, nachos, cheese fries, horchata, and flan are delicious. Haven't tried anything else there but it's always fresh. Sometimes they get the order incorrect but everything I've had here has been really good!

The food is a little pricey compared to the area where I live but I must say - the food is absolutely delicious and a great value. The flavor is so authentic, portion sizes were generous, and the staff is sweet. Thank you for a very delicious lunch with our friends!
