Giant Burrito: Reviews & Ratings
Amazing staff! my apple pay wasn't working and he told me to pay it forward for next time. I appreciate you man! I'll be back!! Food is awesome!
I've lived around this spot for over a year and yesterday I finally decided to give it a try while I was doing laundry. An elderly Hispanic man runs it, he was very sweet, I ordered steak fries with only cheese, sour cream, and meat (it usually comes with nacho cheese, shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, and pico de gallo) and my boyfriend ordered a plain double cheeseburger, the fries were so crispy and good, everything was very well seasoned. I'm very happy I gave it a try. This spot is more of a take out not dine-in, it only has patio seating, but it's west Oakland who would really like to sit here and eat on the patio with all the crack heads running around. But the food is very good.
Honestly, the burritos here are fire. 13 dollars for a burrito isn't the cheapest, but there's quality for the price. The beans taste as if they were home made. The rice is cooked with plenty of flavor, and the steak is cooked to order. The guy even gave me a few chips with the burrito. To top it off he gave me his spicier sauce, and I tell you it is spicy. This is a place I recommend
One of the best burritos I've had in a long time. The Giant burrito will feed two people. Rice cooked just right.
Love this spot so happy it's just down the street from where I live. Been needing a taqueria in the area! Great food !!
Nestled in West Oakland on an island sits this little taqueria. With a sweet funny Mexican man who cooks up your order. I ordered two tacos de carne asada and my boyfriend ordered the steak fries and one taco de al pastor. As you can see we couldn't bother to take a picture before we ate it all. A taste turned into a bite and a bite turned into full on gorging. Sorry. The food is good. You have to try it. It's so nice to finally have a real Mexican restaurant in West Oakland. Finally I don't have to drive to east Oakland for a decent burrito!
Been driving by this place forever, and finally said hey-let's give it a go. I love hole in the walls. :) Glad I did! Everything I ordered (fajitas and enchiladas) was fresh, tasty, and just down right good. Hey peeps-it's one guy, cranking it out as best he can. He is super nice, zero pretention, all business. 100% respectable. Love it. Keep it real folks-and this place will deliver.....period.
I was at the local high school, the iconic McClymonds, just down the street from GB. Whenever I go there, I"m reminded of one of the original Flint's BBq just down the street on San Pablo, now closed and just a distant memory. A local staff member recommended GB for a quick lunch, and I have to say, it's way more than a quick lunch. The building is a little confusing, because the menu is written all over the front, includes classic burger/fries menu, but seems like really a truck style Mexican menu; the guy who runs it was friendly and responsive. He didn't have lengua, but I ordered a mix of carnitas and al pastor, and he put the different meats on the different ends of the burrito, so I essentially had two delicious B's. First of all, the burrito was huge, as you might expect. The order took a while, because it was just one guy, but I loved the edgy ambience of the place that reflected a spot that served the whole community (two little tables outside, a little space to park). I took it home, heated it up a little, and chowed down; loved it but it was definitely enough for two, and tasty enough to delight. Next time I'm trying the asada!
