The Food
The burritos will make you gasp. The large burritos weigh three pounds or more. Size matters, sure, but it doesn't outweigh quality. Burrito Real poses an impressive double threat by also serving some of the best tasting burritos on the Peninsula. Part of that comes from the freshness of ingredients and part of that comes from the sheer variety. The variety is found in the meats, which range from carne asada and carnitas to pollo en mole and pollo adobado, but is really apparent in the extras. Pick green onions and guacamole or cheddar cheese and black olives or sour cream, cilantro and corn. The carne asada is the restaurant's best-selling filling and for good reason. The meat is incredibly lean and flavorful. Try it in the burrito or any of the other dishes (nachos, salad, tacos).
The Scene
More ambiance than most, but still your basic burrito shack.

This is a build your own burrito place. When you enter, you see the selection of all the different things you can add. You make your way along the display, indicating to the person behind the counter what you'll add. The burrito is pretty good. But the biggest problem is that the wait could be 15 mintues if you show up during lunch peak hours.

Tired of run of the mill mixican food - get to Ramon's Real Food Place. Great food, quick service, top fresh juice - best place in the area for those who do not like the chain food places.

This is hands down the best burrito you can buy, and the city of Mountain View concur because its been voted best burrito in Mountain View ever since its been around. Its a little pricey but its well worth it. It??s located on the corner of Middlefield and Rengstorff. They only take cash but there is an ATM located inside.

Burrito Real is a great place to visit before catching a flick at nearby Century 16.
