Wonderful place. The enchilada sauces were the perfect level of spice. The shredded beef Flauta’s were amazing with the green chile sauce.

Absolutely amazing food and friendly staff! If you live anywhere near here and have not gone, you need to. The Chipotle queso dip is a must right off the bat! It has no right being that good!! The tamales are home made and you can taste the love! The burger patties are also made in house, so good if you have a picky eater with you! From start to finish I cannot recommend Lil Burro enough. It's always packed aside from in between meal times and its easy to see why! We went at about 2pm however i would 100% say it's worth the wait, worth the trip.

Such a great place that has been here ever since I can remember. Good is awesome and some of it is grown in a garden on the lot. Family-owned and they are super nice and have great stories and table side manners. I had the pork enchiladas and an aka carte chili relleno, fresh pepper from the garden and I inhaled it. Will definitely be back when in the area.

I had my friend recommend this spot after helping her move some things to storage. I ordered the shredded beef chimchanga, and it's probably got the best flavor I've had at a Mexican joint in a long time, and the salsa and chips were fantastic! Not too runny on the salsa, and the chips were still warm!

There's not a ton of nicer Mexican restaurants that offer drice thru imo. However, Lil' Burro would definitely be on my list of high quality drive thru! This place was so good!!!! Drive thru wait was not that long, very friendly staff! I ordered the seafood enchilada, a bit of a kick. Flavors melt nicely together.

We have been coming here for 15 years and it has only gotten better. We love supporting locally owned locations and this one we found while in military housing. They grow their jalapenos for the poppers. The seafood sauce is amazing with the seafood quesadilla. The enchilada sauce tastes like a rich mole sauce. The pork green chili sauce is so savory and adds depth to whatever it is put on. We haven't had anything bad here and will continue to support them for years to come.

Great homemade food. Friendly service. Comfortable environment. They grow their own peppers in the back. The pictures show the garden at the end of the season, after the frost.
