The reviews online are accurate, one of the best, if not the best burros and tacos in Douglas. The carne asada and tripas were delicious. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for an authentic taqueria.
We stopped here for dinner. Staff was wonderful. We ordered a Pork Burron and fries it was delicious when our food came he threw in two carne asada tacos to try since we debated having them. When we went up to get a to go box he through in some Mexican jerky for free. We will definitely come back here.
Very happy with our visit! We had steak and chicken tacos and burritos. Delicious! The salsa and pico tasted great and had the perfect spice. The tortillas are soft and fresh too.
It's been a few years since I last visited El Burron in Douglas, AZ. I had their well- known burrito de carne asada and let me tell you, it didn't disappoint! It was a bit pricey per burrito, but the flavor of their salsa with the burrito is priceless!
Great hole-in-the-wall Mexican food! We will definitely come back if we are in the Douglas area again. Quick service and hot food!
This fine establishment brings me back to my childhood, amazing burritos, the cheeseburgers are extremely deliciously cooked with charcoal!!! I would eat here 7 days a week twice a day, the salsa is mentally stimulating, I mean so good with their french fries and get the special sauce!!! You will be a happy camper and feel like you found what you were prospecting for- GOLD!!!
Ordered a carne asada burrito with fries on the side and an ice cold coors banquet. Let me start off by saying this place is tucked away off a bigger street. Across from a self serve car wash (which I’ll review later) We walked in and were smacked in the face with the smell of delicious carne asada! The tortilla were fresh! The carne was seasoned to perfection, they cooked the meat immaculately. The salsa bar was quite empty considering the amount of space they had there. But the red salsa and green were definitely 100% delicious. Didn’t get to try the pico as they were out. The fries were good too. Perfect fry on the fries. Kudos
