First things first: The food is awesome! The steak fajita's and chili Colorado dishes are my favs. I can always count on large portions and piping "hot" food. The food might be "hot" yet the service sometimes leaves me "cold". For example, some servers kindly accommodate the customers requests, while others play by the book, lack personality, and almost fear the management. Now for the spoon controversy: It is almost impossible to request 1/2 portions on beans and 1/2 portions on rice for dishes that only have beans on the plate. Is it that too difficult to ask for? Apparently it is since the management has explained to us that there is only "one" spoon in the kitchen to measure out the beans and "one" spoon to measure out the rice for full amounts only!! It is such a poor excuse that it is simply laughable!! Sooooo, Lori (in corporate), if you are reading this: BUY MORE SPOONS in smaller sizes!! Whatever happened to the customer is always right? Not here....not even close!
Pros: The food!
Cons: The hot and cold service!

I've tried many Mexican restaurants over the last 25 years and I'm always wishing I had gone to EL BURRO instead. I always order the Chili Verde Burrito or Chili Releno. Both are consistently delicious, with just the right amount of heat for my not-so-bold taste buds. Their refried beans and rice are the best around (I sometimes order just these 2 side dishes w/sour cream - yum!). I have never found the service lacking and enjoy the outdoor seating (seasonal). The only downside is that it is in the Pruneyard Center and parking at peak meal times can be a problem, and you may have to wait awhile for a table. It is definitely worth the inconvenience, though. If I ever have to leave the Bay Area, this is one of the restaurants I will miss the most!!!
