| - I'm a sucker for good Mexican food. First, I have to say that I ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT GOOD MEXICAN FOOD IS SUPPOSED TO TASTE LIKE. I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California, and I've had A LOT of Mexifood. I'm not bragging, I've just been tricked into trying a lot of sub-standard stuff out here in the valley by reading artificially high reviews written by people who must think Taco Bell and the Frito Bandito actually have something to do with Mexican food..
I had seen Some Burros for a while now, and resisted going in because I don't eat donkey :) Seriously tho, I don't know why they aren't called Burritos, because the "burros" I've had out here are smaller than what we call "burritos" in SoCal...but I digress.
THE FOOD HERE IS GREAT. It's fresh. It's prepared well, it's THE REAL DEAL. The salsas are OUTSTANDING. From a value perspective, It beats the hell out of any fancy mexican food I've had in the many cute cantinas with 20 kinds of margaritas.
I've had their tacos, their basic bean and cheese burros, their Borracho Burro (outstanding) their Pollo Fundido (good, but not really my thing) and again THOSE SALSAS. You could put some of their salsa on a brick and it would taste good. Most importantly: Everything I've had has been prepared FRESH with FRESH ingredients and IT'S CHEAP!!
Bottom line if you value the holy trinity in great Mexican food PRICE + FRESHNESS + FLAVOR, then SOME BURROS will hit a home run with you too. I've only just started my journey on the Some Burros menu, but I'm looking forward to trying a whole lot more. I'll be sure to update this review with other outstanding choices after I try them.
