Restaurant
1597 E Washington Blvd Pasadena, CA 91104
Today: 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM
One of Pasadena's best Burrito and Mexican Food Restaurants! Burrito Express opened its doors in May of 1978 on the corner or Washington Blvd and Sierra Bonita Ave in the North East side of beautiful Pasadena, California. Although we are north of the mainstream part of the city, we've been a staple to Pasadena. People come from near and far for our tasty menu items. We have proudly owned Burrito Express since 2008 and we are proud to say that we have never and will never change any part of the original recipes used by the original owners so as to maintain continuity and consistency in the flavor of the food as it has been since 1978. As they say “if it ain't broke, don't fix it”. We cook all our meats in-house, we make our own sauces, we roll our own taquitos and chop every last vegetable we use. Our goal is for every customer to enjoy their food all the way down to the very last bite.

Like other reviewers have said, it's a small, "hole in the wall" Mexican place with a focus on burritos, and it's good. Not the best, but if your in the area, in the mood, it's as good as any.
EXCELLENT BURRITO by kgreene25 on 7/16/2010 via Citysearch
I come here often and I love the burritos, especially the Ross Perot. The quality is fresh and great, the service is pretty fast and it's definitely worth making a trip to Pasadena, plus there's a nice spot to sit outside and eat.
Burrito Express... by Kelly J on 1/22/2009 via Insider Pages
This is the place to go if you are craving a burrito...They have AMAZING burritos!!! They are humongous and they taste good too. They have lots of different meats to choose from and their home made salsa is very good. I always take a…
Good food, great prices by michmill813 on 10/8/2007 via Citysearch
Another hidden LA burrito stop, Burrito Express has the hole-in-the-wall look. Burritos are very inexpensive and tasty. I had a beef, bean and cheese burrito and a quesadilla, which were both very good. My only complaint is that the…
Delicious Mexican food by angeliquor08 on 4/16/2007 via Citysearch
Good food fast--perfect for when you don't feel like waiting at a Mexican restaurant. Favorites are the Ross Perot and the bean and cheese burrito.
BEST BEAN & CHEESE!! (& taquitos) by jacquieg33 on 7/5/2006 via Citysearch
I love the bean and cheese with mild salsa. Normally I am a spice girl, but the flavor of the mild, can't be beat! Also, the taquitos are great. Try anything, you won't be disappointed.
Bad experiences... by Brooklyn S on 6/29/2005 via Insider Pages
Although I would agree that this place is hidden, and to some it's a gem, I didn't have a pleasant experience, which has unfortunately kept me from going back. I don't know if it was the day, or the weather, or what, but three of us headed…

My Review by Colin M on 1/13/2005 via Insider Pages
This place is a hidden gem of Pasadena. Not may folks know about it and I've never seen any advertising, but it is great Mexican Food. As I recall it is take out only, but thier may be a very limited seating section inside. Regardless,…
My Review by Karla N on 10/20/2004 via Insider Pages
They have the best burritos in the world!!! I always get the chicken JVC mild. The burrito is so big, two people can split it. They also have vegetarian burritos. If you call your order in ahead of time, it will be ready when you get there…

What I nice place for a great Burrito by mrjoeusa on 5/13/2002 via Citysearch
Burrito Express is great for their burritos. Try the Vic's special with your order. It is so good. They have a great patio out front so if the weather is nice eat out there. The dining room inside is really small so outside dining is the…
