Chini's Burritos - Coral Springs

This is as close I get to a real mexican burrito joint without driving to Texas or California. I go here all the time since it’s next to the gym. The food is always hittin.

Here's how the scam works: Order a burrito expecting it to include all ingredients listed on the menu. Pay the angry woman at the register with no personality and an evil glare. She proceeds to tell the woman in the kitchen, in Spanish, to hold back on all those components listed on the menu. The end result is that you do receive a burrito, minus chicken, minus cheese, minus sour cream, and it's entirely filled with only lettuce. That's right, you read it correctly. You get a lettuce burrito. Congratulations on the successful scam....but never again.

Old school Mexican food. Their chicken tortilla soup is amazing. The prices are a little pricey but you’re getting good Mexican food with that mom and pop feel.In other words, you have to spend money to get great quality. I will return.

I have lived in Coral Springs for 12 years, but I have never been, to my detriment, to this small casual Mexican restaurant that has been here for 23 years. The owners, Chini and Neri Enriquez, hail originally from Chiapas, Mexico, the southernmost state in the country, adjoining Guatemala.The menu is very curated compared to other taquerias locally, and the majority of the customers are Americans. Burritos and Tacos are the focus, but they also have stuff like chilaquiles and serve fish tacos (which most places locally do not).I ordered breakfast, huevos a la ranchera, and an order of tamales rajas (3). I tried to order the eggs with chorizo, but sra. Enriquez insisted I order it correctly — on the side — so I wasn't going to question that.All the ingredients for the food here are sourced from their family businesses in Chicago, including the chorizo and the tortillas made in Chicago, so everything tastes a bit different from stuff locally. The chorizo is excellent but oily, and you'll want to suck that up with tortillas.Rajas also were very good, with queso fresco and poblano chiles in it. Nicely seasoned.While the food itself is not spicy, they will offer you some of their homemade chile de arbol sauce, which is explosively hot (to me, anyway) so I encourage you to try that, and don't dump it on unless you know what you are doing.I'll be back.

2 burritos, order of chips , order of guacamole, 2 waters. $40 !! Holy guacamole! It’s just lunch !That’s nuts. $8 for guacamole ?$4 water ? It’s overpriced. Food was average.
