Burrito Express

The steak burrito I had was delicious. I also ordered a side of guacamole and was given about an avocados worth of guac, the portions will leave you full that’s for sure! If you eat in you get a basket of chips and three types of salsa!

I had the most unbelievable chicken burrito here. I had bought two and one was going to be for lunch the next day. It was so fresh! My first one was so good that I ate the second one immediately. I have never had such a good burrito in my entire life. The restaurant is not much to look at and the service is not that great but the food totally makes up for it. I will be frequenting this place much more often when I am upstate.
I am so glad that I checked Unilocal and went to this restaurant!!!

I’ve had a lot of Mexican food but Burrito Express definitely was the best and most fresh I’ve ever eaten! And the guacamole: theeeee best.
When we walked in, I was kind of thinking «this place looks …» But then I remembered all the great reviews about the food. I’m so glad we stayed!
Waitresses were efficient and so friendly. I don’t know about the location because we aren’t from Delaware. Definitely 5 stars for food and service but don’t expect an upscale restaurant.
Seriously though … So good.

I called to see if they do delivery and the lady first responded by saying, «yes we do.»
I placed my order and asked her if I pay with my card over the phone or if they accept card ones they get here, «you can pay when food is ready.»
So than she hangs up, thinking I’m done but I didn’t give her my address. So I call back and I told her that she never took down my address, «oh… I’m sorry but we don’t do delivery, only pick up.»
So I asked her than why did she tell me, «yes we do.» When I first asked her.
«Yeah we don’t do delivery, you pay when you come in. Your food will be ready soon.»
I told her I didn’t want the food and hung up. She called me back 4 times! Back to back!
No good service.

I had a hankering for a really good burrito and Unilocal gave them high marks. I stopped in for a quick and easy lunch. A single burrito will do for all but the biggest appetite. My companion and I shared a pork and a beef Burrito Mexicano. I thought the pork was bland and really needed a shot of the salsa verde to liven it up. But the beef was seared and well seasoned. Both had seasoned rice, refritos and fresh chopped cilantro.
They have a small dine in area. A variety of beverages are available, bottled and fresh.
I believe this is my new go-​to for Mexican. Prices are reasonable, great even for the quality of the food. I’ll be working my way through the menu in the coming months.

Nice family-​run joint. The portions are large and the price is cheap

Food is good! Real good! Authentic as can be! And cheap!!! Also I love how they give you 3 salsas with the chips. Waitress was very sweet and speedy and at one point she was doing it all! Place was a bit hard to find but just look out for their yellow sign with the donkey!!! I regret not knowing about this place sooner! Hard to find good food since I’ve only been here a year. Will be back again and again as long as I’m still in DE.

Oh my! Wish I could have come here earlier! Ordered an burrito Mexicano with carne Asada and it was excellent and very filling. And another plus is that the price was so good. I will be back!

Awesome food. I love Mexican food and this was outstanding.

I have been going to Burrito Express since I was 14. Im absolutely in love with their tamales, (1 $ if ordering over 10). Can’t complain there!
Their horchata (hope I’m spelling this correctly) is delicious.
The staff is always courteous and friendly.
Nothing negative to say about them at all.

Four stars for location, since Bear, Delaware isn’t exactly El Paso. Three stars in El Paso, Denver, Cali, or anyplace else with a large and long standing Mexicano community. Fast and family friendly, the food was simple, tasty, relatively inexpensive, and served with a smile. Décor is takeout style with a few tables.
I had horchata to drink, always a favorite, enjoyed the free chips and three salsas, had shrimp cocktail (always better Mexican style than boring American style, although they skimped on the avocado and I had to request extra). I also had the pozole, a hominy and pork soup that is a a personal favorite, although here it was underwhelming, too thin in flavor and the ingredients didn’t come together like I expect for a good pozole. All in all a solid 3.5.

I ate there last week and ordered the enchiladas verde, half chicken and half veggies. The food was simply wonderful

The food was great. We have been looking for good Mexican food since our favorite one closed in Fox Run. It would be perfect if it sold margaritas.

This place has the best Mexican food around. By a large margin! Friendly staff, quick service, and authentic. I missed Mexican food when I left California until I found this place tucked away off the highway. You can’t go wrong here!

This is authentic Mexican food. We ate beef and tongue tacos. They were so good… Fast service and the place is clean. We live 35 minutes away but we will make this drive to come back here to eat.

Came in at a weird time. Staff was very friendly, super patient and very accommodating while we ordered a really strange order and got vegetarian burritos in a very authentic Mexican restaurant. This very a very nice experience. The ambiance reminds me of a taqueria out in California. The flan was very tasty and the chips and salsa they had out was also very tasty

Fresh, tasty, authentic quality ingredients— with items like cactus, tripe, goat & beef tongue on the menu!
If you’re feeling less adventurous, they have «regular» mexican items as well. I got a chimichanga and it was fantastic! Cheesy, crunchy, mouth-​watering deliciousness!
We were the only non-​spanish people there, but we felt more than welcome!
Will definitely go back!

This place is my favorite hole in the wall Mexican place I have ever been too. The food is pretty much all made on site. They even make their own tortillas.
Recommendations:
Horchata — They have the best horchata around. Free refills if you dine in.
Mini Flautas — Absolutely delicious. Served with Guacamole
Gorditas — Yes. Gorditas. Seriously…
Rellenos — Was never a fan till I had them here.
Enchiladas — I love enchiladas and this place does a great job with them.

Was in Delaware last weekend for a soccer tournament and had some time on our hands, looked up restaurants around the area of the Kirkwood soccer fields and this came up. After reading a few of the other reviews we decided to check out. We liked it so much that we ate there 3 times in one weekend, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Food was prepared just right with all fresh ingredients. Staff was super friendly all three times we ate there. Highly recommend the express Burrito, however huevos rancheros and sopes were all delicious — hard to say what our favorite dish was. Dishes very authentic, not like your typical mexican food that you would get at one of those chain restaurants.
Can’t wait until the next time we have to go up to Delaware for a game — this is now a destination for us when we are near Kirkwood or even traveling through. Agree with other Unilocalers that is a little bit hard to find and had a little bit of a «hole in the wall» look.

I would have given this place 5 stars but the area is sort of sketchy and I’m not too sure about the cleanliness. I went here the other day based upon the reviews. I got a chicken burrito and it was great. There were even little pieces of yellow corn in it; great for added texture.
The guy who took my order didn’t seem 100% with English; because I told him, it was my first time there and that I found out about them from reviews online and he just responded, «Yes.» But the menu has a bunch of stuff including, what I’ve never really saw on Mexican menu’s, a breakfast section. Also it looks like they deliver.
I am rarely in this area but I just might drive there just to try their other items.
