I found Fat Burrito on Instagram, and I guess it's true that you can get the biggest surprises from the the littlest things, but this place is basically a whole in the wall, I've been driving past this place for years and it never came up on my radar until this one Instagram post about their Puffy Tacos and I thought at first, the are pricey at 5 dollars each, but you will be hooked after your first bite. I only bought 2 because I thought maybe I wouldn't like them but then Pow, one of the best tacos Ive ever had, it's nothing like any street taco, which you can get there but I HIGHLY recommend these little Puffy tacos, they will blow your mind. Don't cheat yourself like I did, get at least 3 tacos, I got 2 but I could of eaten at least 4 of these Puffy little tacos. BTW, if you get the Jamaica to drink, its a small one size cup, ask for no ice because it's already cold, enjoy!!!!
Great little spot, meats are on point and the puffy tacos are a unique item for sure. Lightly fried fresh tortilla gives a nice crispy texture without being greasy and heavy. Will be back for sure!
Hands down the best burrito in Rancho Cucamonga! I stopped by for the first time last Thursday, and wow — this place blew me away. To be honest, there aren’t many Mexican restaurants in Rancho Cucamonga, and even fewer that actually taste good. I’ve only tried the burrito so far, but I came back today and it was just as delicious as the first time. What really sets this place apart is the quality of the meat. Unlike most spots in the area (or even in Fontana or Pomona), where the meat is either boiled, overly greasy, or drowning in seasoning, this place grills their meat properly. You can actually taste the difference — clean, flavorful, and no fatty or grimy texture. You can tell they use good quality cuts. I’m definitely coming back to try more off the menu. Highly recommend!
The food was amazing! The puffy tacos are really something special (I even got special green ones for St. Patrick’s Day). The service was very good as well. One thing I did not like is that they have stools rather than chairs in the dining area, just a personal preference.
Great service with friendly staff. Place is pretty small but clean. The carne asada wet burrito is super delicious and the salsa is great. Tried the puffy taco too and its yummy! My new spot for sure!
Excellent service. I asked for a recommendation and was told to get the puffy taco with chile verde so good i got take out but i got in my car and ate it like a monster since it was still hot and fresh.
We came from out of town and picked Fat Burrito as our Mexican food spot for lunch twice! Their puffy tacos were so delicious. My husband got the quesadilla and really enjoyed it as well. Food was very fresh and the service was quick and friendly. Everything is served a la cart.
I have been going here for 5 years and it is the best tasting mexican restaurant that I have ever been to. Hands down! All of the employees are incredibly nice and welcoming, I tell all of my friends, family, and anyone that will listen to come eat here. Thank you Aziel and your family for providing consistently great food and service!!
