| - To begin with, I am surprised by the number of reviews that rag on the appearance of the building. This is a fast food Mexican restaurant, it is not supposed to be fine dining with white linen, silver and china, come on people...I actual found Elmer's to be rather upscale for most fast food Mexican restaurants and if I were reviewing them simply on the building, they would get 4 stars. And hey, don't forget the spacious parking lot.
This was my first Elmer's experience and I arrived in mid morning so I wasn't competing with a large crowd of high schoolers at the counter, but there was still a steady stream of customers. I found the inside to be clean with more than ample seating. I would expect a large portion of their business to also be takeout as was my case. On this particular morning there was a great deal of interest by the staff to go outside and see someone's (perhaps an employee's) Great Dane, once they satisfied that experience, they were able to take my order and get back to the food business.
I like to judge a restaurant of this type by their breakfast burritos. I'm looking for: quality, quantity, and price. I am always taken back anytime you have to pay extra for cheese on Mexican food or any food for that matter (an extra $.75). I guess if you are happy with a tortilla, eggs and the choice of one, either meat, beans or potatoes, then the price of $3.50 is fine. But if you would perhaps like to have cheese and beans also on your breakfast burrito or more likely cheese and potatoes, that will be another $.75 for the cheese and $.50 for the potatoes which now takes you to $4.75 which is where the quantity comes in. It's not a particularly large burrito for nearly $5.00. As for quality, the breakfast burrito was good. No complaints with quality of the food.
I agree with other Yelpers that Elmer's has great red sauce. I also really like their (insert images of "Twilight") style of packaging of their red sauce. It you've eaten here before you will know what I mean, if not, when you do try Elmer's you will then know what I mean. It works great for adding the sauce to your burrito while you are eating and driving. Did I say that...I mean sitting on the couch adding hot sauce to your breakfast burrito while flipping through the channels on the TV.
And now for what appears by most of the Elmer's Yelpers to be the Holy Grail of Elmer's...the bean and cheese burrito...ehhh...not too impressed. I like my beans fully mashed but that is just me.
