Express Burritos

When this place opened up I was excited because my husband and I love Mexican food. That being said I will never eat here again. We each got a burrito and loved that we could see them make your order in front of you. For a new place, I expected it to be cleaner. When we got home with our order we dug in! It looked good. It was just ok. Then in the middle of eating his burrito my husband pulled a twist tie out of his mouth! Yuck! Nothing like a little metal in your meal. No thanks! We haven’t been back since.

Because I spent many (regrettable) years married to a burrito obsessed hispanic, I feel that I am somewhat of a Caucasian officianado on the subject. If you have had a real burrito, made by a mother in law, Latin friend or in a REALLY good Mexican restaurant you will understand why Express Burritos is chronically empty. It is not the cleanest
of places either. Do yourself a favor… drive over the bridge to 2 128 & get yourself a burrito at MI Pueblito on Saratoga.

I got very sick with food poisoning after eating the pork burrito bowl. I was throwing it all up last night. I’ve never left a Unilocal review but feel I should spare you all of the possibility of getting sick. After reading the reviews about the dirty conditions of the place (I had delivery) my stomach turns even more. Do not eat here.

Had this delivered to my hotel while on a business trip, which was prompt. Good was flavorful and good, I’d say a good value for the price. I had the beef burrito plate and a couple tacos.

Disappointed with this place. Would not recommend. Food was questionable. Carnitas burrito had a funky meat in it that had a lot of fat and not a great taste too it. Probably wouldn’t come back here.

Best place for real latin American food in Winthrop! Prices are VERY affordable and they have everything delicious. I hope hope hope they stay here forever. I love that I don’t have to go into East Boston for Authentic mexican and latin american food now. I had their Churrasco which was meat, sausage and grilled vegetables with a lot of yummy rice and french fries and salad. They really give good portions here.
I wouldn’t pay attention to the reviewer who gave this place one star. They clearly only eat at chains. This place is as clean as a whistle considering how new they are and the food is real, fresh and home made.

I really wanted to walk into the place the other Unilocalers reviewed, but got this horribly dirty hole in the wall with endless visible health code violations instead. I wanted to love it, seeing how burritos are the greatest food on Earth and Anna’s hasn’t made it out this far (I cry about it everyday). Sadly, I won’t be coming back.
First the food: Got a carnitas burrito. While the guy steamed the tortilla and made my boyfriend’s burrito, he yelled to the back to someone to get the carnitas ready. When he started to make mine, yelled for it again, and then proceeded to walk my tortilla out of the room and into a back room. When he emerged, the carnitas was on the tortilla. I didn’t question it until I was eating it. Super dried out cubed chunks of meat with way more fat and gristle than meat. No flavor besides being super salty. Now I gotta ask: what IS this freakishly grey inedible meat you call carnitas?! Where did you go get it from? The microwave? The trash? Forget it, I don’t want to know. Rice was mushy, pico was so so.
Finally the sanitation: I get that the place is super small and cramped, but there is no excuse for keeping a place where you serve food looking the way this place does! Visibly dirty walls and floors and counter space with clutter everywhere. Even if I could look past all of that, what I couldn’t get over was the man making our food. Yes, he wore plastic gloves, which I was glad to see, but he proceeded to touch EVERYTHING from the food to the register, to the money, to the phone without ever replacing or even rinsing or removing them! What is the point of wearing the gloves? For appearances? To keep your own hands from getting dirty? Yuck.

5 stars!
Walked in, asked for a vegetarian burrito and faster than you can say «Express»…Voila!
My burrito was delicious, huge, inexpensive, and yes delicious.
