El Burro Picante - Menu

The portion sizes are massive! The sandwich was fantastic, and I especially enjoyed the spicy honey.

Best fried chicken sandwich in the area, super great staff, all around amazing restaurant. Best coleslaw too!

By far the best Mexican place in Berkeley. Come in and meet Massoud the owner and tell him how much you enjoyed his food as well. View menu

Fantastic restaurant for burritos! The flavors are amazing! Their salsas and chips are excellent! I will definitely return! We brought the kids, and the staff were friendly and accommodating!

Four stars because while I did not care for either the sandwich or the fries, my BIL liked the chicken but not the fries, so it may be a matter of taste. HUGE portions though, which is unusual nowadays.

We both ordered the regular burritos—one with spicy pork and the other with regular chicken. The portions were generous, and the meal included chips and access to a well-stocked salsa bar. The chips were absolutely delicious! The meat was perfectly seasoned, and there was a good amount of it in each burrito. View menu

I really love this restaurant, and it definitely deserves 5 stars for its generous portions and consistently amazing flavor. However, I do have one issue: the Spicy Fried Chicken Tenders are supposed to come with ranch, but I have never received any sauce without having to pay extra. If they could fix this, it would easily be a 5-star experience for me.

I highly recommend the California burrito. While it's a popular dish in Southern California, this is the only place I've found in the area that serves it. Essentially, it's a burrito filled with French fries instead of the usual rice and beans. It's such a tasty concept! If you're unsure, just trust your instincts! Cheers to El Burro Picante for introducing unique new menu items to Northern California.

The portions here are quite large, so it's best to share with someone else. The chicken and fries were delicious, but I wouldn’t classify the chicken as traditional tenders. It's not your typical finger food; you'll need a fork and knife since it resembles chicken patties that you might find in a sandwich. I rated this place four stars, not because of the food—I really enjoyed it—but because my order was missing an extra chicken strip, and they forgot to include the habanero mayo and ranch sauce. I’ll definitely be back to try some other menu items. View menu
