Average food with lower than average service – There is always a wait, despite the many tables being empty. If you don't wait for a table, you will wait for your server. The food is at best average. And the service poor... and they don't seem to care.

Great Mexican Food – My Family and I have been coming here to El Burro for the last 17 years or so. The food is amazing and you also get great service. Its the best mexican food in the Bay Area!

Bad drinks, Good food ... – This is one of my favorite places because the food is so good. A large menu provides variety for even the pickiest eater. The entrees are all good and the free chips that accompany dinner are tasty (and the salsa is satisfactorily spicy). My only concern is that their margaritas taste like lemon-lime Gatorade. We asked for extra shots (which they charged us for) in our drinks which was a decent remedy.

far away but worth it – sometimes it's difficult for me, being a vegetarian & lactose intolerant, to find good mexican food other than a rice & bean burrito. but the veggie enchiladas at el burro are AMAZING -- i would pay good money to get the recipe for the sauce they use. the margaritas are some of the best i've had in the bay area. the service is not very good at all, but i just don't care. the food & drinks are just too good!

Grrrreat – This is the only place I've found that has true tasting chili verde..haven't been able to find another place that compares. I've been the Newark and Sunnyvale locations and they are both equal. They have large proportions and I love the atmosphere. During the summer, you can sit outside and enjoy a delicious margarita.

AS GOOD AS IT GETS – I have eaten at many Mexican restaurants in my time and this is far and away the best. Food is great. Atmosphere is excellent. Decor is outstanding. What more could you ask for.

Delicioso! – This is the BEST Mexican restaurant ever! I've visted many restaurants that claim to be "mexican" but this one tops all! The vast selection of enchilada plates is great.. so many to choose from. Even the chips and salsa are great!

WONDERFUL! – The best darned top shelf margarita's, chili relenos, and tamales in town in a traditional atmosphere. Believe it or not, try the crab and shrimp tostada -- it's fantastic!
