![]() ![]() Although the burrito was a little too salty, it was spicy, and the pasilla chili was a very flavorful addition to the dish. The burrito was loaded with black beans, rice and chicken, but didn’t have as much mango salsa or cheese as I would have liked. When I unwrapped them it was a dripping soggy mess, and I ended up eating it all with a fork. I opened my pasilla burrito combo and saw that they cut my burrito in half and wrapped the individual halves in foil. I handed everybody their food and was disappointed to find that I didn’t get the extra mango salsa, which I paid for. ![]() When I got home, I couldn’t wait to try the food because it smelled so delicious. I took home a pasilla burrito combo ($7.25) with extra mango and red onion salsa, and a medium Jamaica drink for myself, a World-Famous Tostada ($7.25) and a medium horchata for my wife, a quesadilla from the “Quids Meals” for my son and a shrimp San Felipe taco combo ($6.95) for a friend. I decided to have my food to go because there was a sudden rush of people clamoring in behind me as I placed my order. Poquito Mas has all the traditional Mexican food, like burritos ($4.75 to $9.95), tacos ($1.79 to $7.95) and quesadillas ($5.75 to $9.95), but for the health-conscious, they make any of the items from their “Nature’s Grill,” ($2.35 to $6.75), which means they are made with grilled vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, peppers and red onions, instead of meat).Īny of the tacos, burritos, tostadas and quesadillas can be ordered with ahi or shrimp for $5.25 to $9.95. There is also plastic covering where the windows should be, but the restaurant was surprisingly cool in spite of the sweltering heat outside. The dining area was also small and offers a somewhat cluttered seating arrangement. The restaurant has a cramped ordering space in front of the single open cash register, which makes it congested during peak hours. When I arrived, no parking was available in their limited lot, but the residential area along the street had plenty of space. They use olive oil and canola oils in their cooking. ![]() The restaurant promises it uses only ingredients that have zero grams of artificial trans fat. You’ll always get the food you want, the way you want it. Poquito Mas guarantees that you will always get friendly, courteous service, and that your food will be delivered within seconds after it is prepared, so you can enjoy your meal hot and savor the nuances of their Baja California style dishes. They serve freshly made tortillas, salsa, chips, jalapeños, beans and more, and they prepare your meal right in front of you. The menu says they always use only the freshest ingredients - lean beef, chicken, pork and ahi right from the fisherman’s boat. Can't wait to get a chance to eat here again.At Poquito Mas in Burbank, the restaurant’s motto is simple: “We don’t serve fast food. This place may be a bit more expensive than some places but I feel the quality and great tasting food plus the hospitality of the workers make it a great value for the money. Other favorite items I didn't get this trip are any burrito (especially Asada & carnitas) and if you're a little hungrier I suggest the Studio plate. He enjoyed everything and cleaned his plate. My youngest son tore through his Qid's meal of a chicken taco rice and beans. My son got the nachos and loved them with the fresh house made tortilla chips and quality ingredients. My wife got 2 shrimp tacos and thoroughly enjoyed them. I ordered the classic chicken tostada and it was as good as I remember if not better. The person working the register was very nice and welcoming. They had a Torrance location that I used to frequent but sadly that one closed long ago. ![]() Now I live in the South Bay so I don't get many chances. But this place was a regular when I lived in W LA. ![]()
