Gigantic burritos that are so very good. One will feed you twice or put you on the couch if you eat the whole thing! Very much worth your time. Enjoy. Chorizo street tacos are always great & certainly a favorite of mine. Lots of tasty sodas also! ♂️✌

You’ll go crazy over the food at El Burrito Loco! My street tacos (beef and pork) were SO flavorful, and my wife’s California Burrito took two hands to tame. Hot and mild sauces are added to each order. 2023 UPDATE: CRAZY GOOD!!! I tried the Burrito Loco – AMAZING! Easy parking, too.

We really like they meats and seasoning. Usually moist and flavorful with great portions. Great homemade chorizo. They raised prices about 25% in 2024 and are no longer that much cheaper than a restaurant. Their salsas are quite watery and could use a pinch of salt and more lime. Usually get tacos but tried a burrito recently and it was huge and lots of meat. The grilled onions with every meal are nice. It can be hard to know when they’re there as I’ve had google maps show “open” and there’s no truck, but if you see this one give it a try! One of the better taco trucks.

Always great tacos, sauce could stand to be hotter, even as a gringo my mouth wasn’t anywhere close to begging for mercy but still good flavor.

As a crew we got 3 items: pastor torta, burrito California, and burrito chori-pollo. All very good, all monstrously large. I’ve had several chori-pollo foods in the metro area and this was by far the best. And the items are all huge. We only ate half and walked away full.
It’s a food truck, there is a picnic table to sit at, or you could take the food to the nearby park. Just take a cooler because you’ll have leftovers.

My girlfriend and I had the amazing opportunity at eating at El burrito loco tonight and we are by far incredibly impressed with not only the quality of food but also the quality of the service. They have by far the best horchata in the Des Moines area, they also provide this other that’s made out of hibiscus flower it’s incredibly delicious. As far as meals go I had their signature El burrito loco which is by far the best burrito I’ve had in the morning. My girlfriend on the other hand has one of each their tacos that they offer and was incredibly impressed with each taco particularly the carnitas. I most certainly know where I’m going when I’m craving burritos. Unfortunately I could not provide photos because I was too busy devouring this burrito

On 05/13/23 I went to visit this small business for the first time! First the woman who assisted me and my friend was super sweet and very helpful. She helped us make a choice that was perfect for us! I ordered the California burrito and she ordered the quesadilla! When I say this was the BEST small business I have had in soooo long! It’s a breath of fresh air to know these places exist. Great portions and beautiful flavor. Please PLEASE help small businesses like THIS to grow! We need more

Love this place! Kind people with amazing authentic Mexican food! The $3 tacos are my favorite, carné asada, el pastor, or chicken – they are all delicious! They make your food fast, and it’s so hot and fresh that the meat is steaming every time.
My only complaint would be how much I miss them when they are closed on Sunday and Monday. But I understand, we all need our days off!

Tried the Burrito California and the Burrito Chori-Pollo and they were sooooooo good. Freshly made and seasoned to perfection, each bite is it’s own delicious mini heaven. Def the best burrito in the city. Excellent customer service and everything was ready super quick. Will be coming here a lot!
