The Great Burrito

The food is great, but they need someone else answering the phone.

Worst place to order delivery. I never leave review but very upset with these people. It took 2hours so I called and the girl says the driver is there already. Took 30 more minutes and nothing. Excuses but no apology. If they want local business than they gotta learn how to treat the customer and not lie. Screw this place. Never ordering again.

To bad i have not visited this place earlier the food is so good! fish taco is to die for.

I have ordered about 6 times from this place and I never had a bad experience. The wait is very reasonable and the order has always been right. The food has disappointed and the variety they offer is very nice. For the price, the food quality and the service, I recommend this place for sure. The mix of the dishes is the typical Texmex but they have some dishes such as chicken mole, pibil pork and fish tacos amongst others that are close or better as a high end Mexican restaurant. I will keep sampling their menu and hope they keep up the good quality.

Food was delicious! Very authentic. One the Mexican goods we’ve had here in Jersey!
We ordered chicken quesadilla, chicken taco, enchilada verde, guacamole and chips and salsa. Everything was super fresh and very well seasoned.
Will definitely order again

Best Mexican food in the area. Food is always fresh. Cost more than other Mexican spots but its worth it. I usually order the burrito with guacamole and chips.

Who doesn’t love Mexican food and who doesn’t love hole in the wall places. Well here we have a hole in the wall Mexican food place. Not much seating here but its more of a to go place for locals. The food comes out quick and is very tasty. The ingredients were fresh and the guac was delicious. A new favorite for me, it is a good mix of Americanized Mexican food and authentic Mexican food. A great alternative for the person that doesn’t like going to chain places like Chipotle, Moes, and Qdoba.

The fish tacos are the best. We tried the pastor and ropa vieja tacos, those were just fine, they’d be better if they were made with homemade corn tortillas, the ones they use just kept falling apart.
A little bit expensive for just tacos, but worth trying at least once. Specially the fish tacos.

Went here with my brother and we both got burritos. Mine was a black bean, and his was spicy pork. We also ordered some nachos for an appetizer.
Of course, the portions were HUGE, and I could only eat about one third of my burrito. The nachos were crispy and tasted great but needed a little more on top.
The spicy pork burrito was described to be as incredible and not too spicy (which can be good or bad).
The black bean burrito was nice and flavorful. The salsa I got on the side was so-​so but the spicy my brother got was MUCH better.
Overall, everything was delicious and you get a lot for your money. If they had actual dining in available this place would be my favorite place to get mexican.

Fish Tacos were the best My wife and I have had since being in California, where they really know how to make tacos

Love me some tacos… decided to try this place out. Lady recommended the fish tacos and I also got a side of guac… fish tacos were deeelicious. Crispy deep fried yet soft inside n melts in your mouth with amazing chipotle cream sauce .so bad for you but soo goood. The guac was the right texture but needed a hint of jalapeño to spice it up. Next time I am going to try the pastor. I wish they let you mix and match but you can’t understanding ly so. Good for business I guess lol. FYI no cabbage on them cause I can’t eat it but normally comes in top. I substituted with cilantro.

I’ve ordered from this place three times. All three times they had good customer service, delivery man was punctual/​polite, and the food was delicious. The portions are large and they make sure to separate the greens from the actual taco/​burrito so the ingredients don’t get soggy. Out of all the things I’ve ordered so far, I would recommend the Steak & Onion tacos. Good experience.

Hole in the wall take-​out with generous portions and some tasty, reasonably authentic flavors. The cook seems to maintain general good quality with a tiny kitchen and steady incoming phone orders.
Three of us pulled two tables together and sat down for a quick dinner before shopping across the street in the Whole Foods Plaza. Next time, think I’ll just order what I want and doctor it up to my liking at home.
Guacamole was fresh and thick, needed more tomato, salsa and lime, which we had to ask for with the chips, which were unremarkable but crisp. The chicken burrito bowl was actually a platter piled with food. Accompanying rice and black beans were tasty with good texture.
Tacos advertise as two in a serving, but the meat filling was generous and an extra tortilla is provided anyway. The soft corn tortillas were fresh and thin. I had the Al Pastor tacos, which would have benefitted from some pineapple flavor, but where else nearby can you even order Al Pastor…
Salsa was served as an afterthought, the versions were fresh and delicious, but there were only three chips left when we got them. Why wasn’t it on the table right away?
Mexican coke (or at least that’s the claim) was served warm in the bottle.
Expect an update when I order delivery…

Oh man. Such good food.
Whatever else you order, make sure you get fish tacos. There’s two to an order. They are a little bit of magic. Whether I stop by for lunch or right before they close for the day, the fish is hot, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, juicy, uh… I’ll stop right here. Squeeze on a bit of lime, and you’re good to go.
They do take their time making food. I call about 5 – 10 minutes ahead with my order to avoid a really long wait.
Parking can be tough right outside the restaurant, so don’t forget the Whole Foods/​Duane Reade lot across River road.

Eh. Decent (beef) tacos and nachos (w/​o beef). IMO, the taste isn’t very authentic, meaning, I’m not immediately transported to Tijuana. They are very filling, however. I’ll definitely go back to try the burritos and fish tacos, as other Unilocalers recommend.

It was our first time ordering from The Great Burrito and we were starving. My wife and I were prepared to wait a bit since some reviews noted the slow service. The restaurant accepts online orders. You place your order through a third-​party site called BeyondMenu. Within seconds of placing the order, we received a confirmation e-​mail. Everything seemed to be on track.
Forty five minutes came and went, but no food arrived. We remained calm. At the one hour mark, I decided to call the restaurant. At this point, I wanted to confirm that they even got the order in the first place. A woman picked up. I explained that we had been waiting an hour for our food and that it was our first time ordering. She seemed put off and finally inquired if I ordered using BeyondMenu. Then she matter-​of-​factly told me that the food was on its way. No timetable, further explanation or apology.
Finally, an hour and twenty minutes after the initial order was placed the food arrived. I felt a sense of relief. My wife answered the door. She handed the driver a two dollar tip. He asked where the rest of the money was. My wife explained that we had ordered online. The driver claimed he was unaware of this. Our food was finally released to us after my wife showed the driver the confirmation e-​mail on her phone.
The food itself was not bad, but pricey. I had a Cochinita Pibil Burrito (braised pork). My wife had the Grilled Chicken Burrito. The burritos were humongous. You get a choice of tortilla and salsa. My wife enjoyed the salsa. They also included sour cream. In addition, we ordered a side of guacamole. The portion of guacamole was minuscule for the price.
The incredibly long wait time and bad customer service marred our lunch delivery. We don’t plan to order from this place again.

Girl at the front smiled today and was helpful– big change from before, so kudos to you. The place is hot inside, so I would recommend taking the food togo on hot summer days. Not only that but, there’s only street parking available, and that doesn’t come easy on this small uphill area. Otherwise, there’s 3 tables– 2 small 2 seaters, and 1 larger 4 seater. Not bad. The tacos are BOMBBBBB!!! Had the grilled chicken for the first time today– awesomeeee. Tender meat with good salad side to add onto your taco, and the fish taco is just as good as ever– juicy with awesome chipotle sauce. Yummmmm. Word of advice– if you can’t handle spice, don’t go for the hottest sauce. You can ask for extra and we ended up buying 4 extra sauces for no reason– turned out the one container each per dish was enough.

3.5 stars! Let’s spell it out…
Al Pastor Tacos (spicy pork, cubed) — The meat was quite tender and very well seasoned. I would guess the seasoned sauce is a blend of different chiles with onion and garlic. Not just an adobo seasoning you would purchase from a Spanish supermarket. The pork had a bit of an orange hue and the spice level was highly pleasing! These tacos were served on soft tortillas and included chopped cilantro as a garnish. You can add shredded iceberg lettuce, chopped tomatoes, onions and squeeze lime juice. Once you do, there is Mexican fiesta happening in your mouth! ÓRALE!
Mini Gripe — Missed chopped jalapeño and crumbled queso fresco.
Enchiladas de Mole (shredded chicken thighs) —
Once upon a time ago, I was very fortunate enough to learn there are several types of moles. I hate myself for not asking the young lady but I believe what I ate was a Mole Poblano style– It was very dark in color, with hint of chocolate flavor but not as spicy as I remembered it. Anyway, it was enjoyable. No yellow cheese (thank god) instead it appeared to be a shredded Mexican Mozzarella with zig zag line of sour cream top with white onion rings. This entrée was paired with refried beans and rice. HIJOLE, it was very good!
Homemade Guacamole and Homemade Tortilla Chips — Simple and fresh. I did see finely chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro and jalapeños (I requested jalapeños, otherwise, it would have been left out)
Mini gripe– not as spicy as requested. Ni modo!
Chorizo Tacos (crumbled chorizo) — Least favorite. Less flavorsome when comparing it to Al Pastor Tacos. It’s really seasoned with Paprika, Cayenne and Salt /​Pepper.
These tacos are were also served on soft tortillas and shared the same garnishes and add-​ons as Al Pastor Tacos.
Mini Gripe — Missed chopped jalapeño and crumbled queso fresco.
Because the smaller things in life make me smile, I must say this place offers Mexican Coke Bottles (not american coke)! This is Smooth and Rich! Me encanta every time!
I won’t forget to mention. Upon ordering over the phone, service was prompt and friendly.
Lastly, this place is a very casual eatery serving Mexican classics such as burritos, tacos, tostadas & handmade tortillas. Great for a quick lunch or dinner.

Cool little hole in the wall Mexican place. I was skeptical at first when I read the name, but I enjoyed this spot much more than my last hole in the wall Mexican joint. It doesn’t have much seating, looks much more like a takeout place. I had the pastor tacos and beef burrito.
The pastor tacos were very good. The pork was well seasoned and cooked well. They were garnished with cilantro and lime, but they did lack onions. They were bigger than I had expected, I didn’t really need the burrito.
The burrito was absolutely massive. It suffered from poor assembly, one end was left open and half the contents spilled out onto my plate. Might as well have ordered a burrito bowl.
My only gripe is it’s a bit pricey for what it is and that it took a lot longer to prepare than I had expected.

At first glance, the eye may wander past this tiny joint. But dont let the size of it loose your interest.
The Great Burrito is right to the point, has a very modest but filling menu. Tacos, burritos, soups, salsas and a few other traditional Mexican Tastes.
I suggest getting the fish tacos for $ 10. Once the waitress brings over the dish, you’ll probably think these two overfilled tacos wont be enough. But be surprised, they will hit the spot. Theyre perfectly deep fried (who the hell doesnt love deep fried), with a soft and juicy inside. The chipotle cream sauce is like crack to me, really good and the high doesnt last long – i was tempted to ask for another helping of it.
Other things that may tickle your fancy – the guac, pastor anything (taco, burrito, etc.). Apparently the el pastor is the shining star here – many people have claimed to love it. P. S. the burritos are fucking huge, how can one consume it in one sitting?!
Theres about 8 seats so if i were you, id be a lazy glutton and stay home and get some delivery.
i must try that flan. flan is so good… its the only dessert here but it will be attacked by me next time.
