Our Visit
Last Friday evening at 5:30 pm, we decided to venture out and try Burrito Brothers California Mexican in Yorba Linda, CA. Conveniently located across the street from Fairmont Elementary and nestled in the same shopping center as Trader Joe’s and Home Goods, the place was easy to find. Walking in, the casual vibe along with the delicious smells greeted us. Jason and I were ready to dig into the menu’s bold and playful offerings. The names of the meals alone had us intrigued, from “Surf My Turf” to “CALI Burrito.” Our appetites were ambitious that night, so we went for the “Big Bro” size meals to ensure we wouldn’t leave hungry. Spoiler alert—we were definitely satisfied.
Details We Discovered
The experience of dining at Burrito Brothers came with a handful of interesting and unique discoveries:
Ambiance & Setup:
- Three TVs were mounted, but all had the volume turned off, maintaining a mellow and family-friendly atmosphere.
- There were 3–4 standard tables along with two bar tables, but the overall space is quite small.
- Outdoor seating was also available for those who wanted to enjoy their meals in the open air.
- Music played softly in the background, which added a subtle charm without being overpowering.
Food Details:
- Meals Tried:
- CALI Burrito: My large and indulgent choice. A popular choice by many, I was told.
- Supremium Carne Asada Burrito & Surf My Turf Burrito: Two of their other popular picks.
- Changa Bonga Dude – Jason: Similar to a chimichanga with a twist, which was a satisfying large meal as well.
- The burritos are available in two sizes—”Little Bro” (smaller size) and “Big Bro” (larger size). We opted for the Big Bro sizes, and they were definitely filling!
- It’s a burrito bar setup, much like Subway, where you can pick and choose your toppings, adding a custom touch to every meal.
- The flavors lean towards more traditional California Mexican cuisine, with fresh ingredients and bold combinations.
Other Notable Features:
- Price range: Reasonable, hovering around $10–20 depending on your choice.
- Steady stream of takeout orders indicated the place’s popularity.
- A fun fact: They have a $45 burrito on the menu—worth looking up just for the novelty of it.
Additional Information
