California Burrito Express, East Colonial - Closed

On Monday I had lunch at this Mexican restaurant on 50 near the Executive Airport. I had a Machaca (shredded beef and scrambled eggs) Torta for $3.50 in honor of my old college roommate who would order one (a burrito actually) from a roach coach near our apartment every night that he didn't hook up. It was good. The beef was juicy and not too gamey. The eggs seemed to be without salmonella. The onions and peppers were soft. The roll was not a piece of Styrofoam. The place is an OLD fast food spot that relatively nothing has been done to. It was dirty. It seats about 100. It was pretty busy. The AC is barely working. However, if you don't define those qualities as necessities, then I think you will enjoy some tasty Mexican fare of the the food truck variety. They have burritos, taquitos, tacos, etc. Seafood, Tongue, Chicken, Pork, Beef, Etc. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a great value. There were people of all economic classes and ethnicities there while I dined.
