Editorial Review for Ramon's Burrito Real – by Jim Harrington
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.

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.

The only thing better is La Costena, which is right down the street and owned by the same folks who operate Burrito Real. I like La Costena better for the grab and go part market part taqueria aspect, but that's just me. That said, run don't walk to Burrito Real for really good food and a nice place to sit and eat. (La Costena only has folding tables) Try any of their fresh grilled specials or the chicken mole and you're sure to be a happy customer. Cheap, fast, friendly service. Can't beat it.
