Why go?

A yellow graphic with a faint city map background reads: “$15ish Meal Map. Explore the map,” with a right-pointing arrow.

El Burro is absolutely nailing the fast casual concept. The price point is around $15 to dine here, but they still have staff bring your food to your table, which makes it feel more elevated. When your food arrives, they also have a few hot sauce and salsa options to choose from. Their patio is such a vibe and really takes the whole experience up a notch.
