I’ve driven by this place a hundred times but finally had the opportunity to eat here… how did I not do this sooner?!?! Wow! I got the “jr burrito” and it was 2 meals worth. I had the shredded beef wet burrito and it was fantastic! Great flavor, perfect mix of ingredients, and it was quick! Love this place, definitely coming again!

Great food for price. Quick turnaround for food. We had takeaway burritos and had them at the beach. They threw in chips as well which was very kind pleasant surprise.

ELBJ is a local fixture for good reason. The food is great, the prices are very reasonable, and the staff is friendly and efficient. If you’ve never been, you are missing out. This is a walk-up place. Think great food truck without the wheels. Plenty of outdoor tables if you want to eat there. All your favorite Mexican dishes are on the menu and the servings are generous.
