About this place

Are you down with the King? They don't call it the King for nothin'; these are the biggest, cheapest burritos in town. Finishing a King Burrito in one sitting warrants a medal. Open 'til 3 a.m. seven days a week, Burrito King capitalizes on what we all know best: burritos taste better after a night at the bars.

I find myself at Burrito King about 3 times a month, mostly between 2 AM and 3 AM. The food is pretty good, considering I get more than my fill for under $5 in the Small Nachos King. The late-night service used to be great every time but as of a few months ago when a new guy started working the window, I find myself going to Taco Bell instead. On two occasions I could hear this guy making fun of me in Spanish, one of which was while I handed him a tip. Another time he and I would imagine the rest of the late night staff closed 45 minutes early.I'll go back because I'm hooked, but only when the guy with long hair is working.

I love this place. It used to be the best place to go when you're drunk. Now it's the best place to go whenever you're hungry. This is all for one reason: (memorize the following..) MEXICAN STYLE CORN SOFT TACOS WITH PORK PASTOR. Write it down on a post-it, stick it on yr dashboard and refer to it when you pull up to order. Yes the service is hit or miss. It has gotten much cleaner though, and although it's only friendly when the owner, Jesse, is working, it is worth it all for the aforementioned tacos and a pineapple Jarritos. Make sure they include a few wedges of lime. Is it bad for your cholesterol? Yes. But your soul will be healthier than ever.

Burrito King fills the wonderful void being about the only place you can enjoy both sober and otherwise. Good food at a good price (although I am still perplexed why the vegetarian burrito is a buck more then the meaty ones). And the red sauce is the hottness...literally and figuratively.

I didn't know what a good burrito was (and believe me, I've had my more-than-fair share of big-as-your-head burritos!) until I tried the King's potato & egg breakfast burrito. this creamylicious hunk of comfort food will satiate you for hours. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200 until you pass the window at The Burrito King. Long live the King!

The burritos rock, so does the nachos...The tamales taste like playdough....But other than that, no complainst....Could be a little more consistent with the green sauce recipe.
