Editorial Review for La Pasadita Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
La Pasadita has a mini-empire in this neighborhood, with three different stores on the same block. The main sit-down (the one with the black sign) seats about 40 and serves burritos and parrilladas (dinner plates); the other sit-down two doors down has a meat-heavy menu, with favorites like tongue tacos and soft beef burritos. Burritos star on the menu, particularly the veggie, stuffed with yellow rice, avocado, tomato and cilantro.

Insider Tips

The Extras

Be sure to eat in, as the chips and salsa are extraordinary. You'll get bowls of salsa verde and smoky black salsa, which you'll want to daub on everything.

Know Before You Go

La Pasidita's counter-service only outlet (a few doors down, near the car dealership) has quick, basic tacos: tortillas, meat, parsley, sauce and cheese, period.

For the most part, their steamed beef burritos are awesome. Lately though, quality has slipped. I don't know if they are getting cocky because of the increasing awareness or what but they need to change their ways. The meat used to be great. But more often then not the meat is very fatty or greasy. I had one burrito recently with so much fat, I through it away. Unfortunately it was a to go order so I couldn't send it back. I have tried to reach the owner and discuss the quality issue but he is too hard to get hold of. When the meat is good, it will be the best burrito you will ever have. Let's hope they get the message. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
