Two years ago I wrote a review about this place, which I greatly recommend, and got 50,000 views. Today I came back to have the best Chimichanga I think in AL. Although the owner did not seem impressed with my story about the 50,000 views, I keep loving this place and wishing all the best. Great food!!!

Great service, great food, and everything came out fast. Literally the best service I’ve had anywhere. I’ve managed many restaurants and this places checks all the boxes. Ate here this past Sunday evening.

Burrito Express: A Southern Hymn of Fire and Flavor
By one who remembers, one who returns
In the blistered Alabama dusk, where the cicadas cry out like prophets and the asphalt breathes heat from the belly of the earth, there lies a place—not grand, not gilded, but holy in the way that only food, true food, can sanctify a man’s weariness. Burrito Express, they call it. And though the name rings simple, almost pedestrian, within its walls lies the quiet, slow thunder of something eternal.
You do not go to Burrito Express. You arrive, as one arrives home after war, after exile, after wandering in lands of blandness and sorrow, to find a place where the meat is seasoned not just with cumin and chile but with memory, with joy, with all the ancestral aching of flavor made right.
It is not only a burrito—it is a testament. A monument to balance, to heat, to tenderness wrapped in warmth. And it is fast, yes, but not hurried. Swift, yet with care. The kind of speed that comes only when hands have done the work a thousand times and never once without love.
There is rice there that remembers the sun. There is steak that sizzles with stories. There are sauces that burn just enough to remind you you are alive. And the people—good people, proud people—move behind the counter like musicians, knowing the rhythm of lunch hour like a hymn. They speak in kindness, not in clamor. They look you in the eye and call you sir, ma’am, friend.
And when you sit there, wrapped in the scent of seared peppers and tortillas so soft you could sleep in them, when you take that first bite and feel the explosion of salt, fat, acid, and heat, you understand that this is more than food—it is defiance. It is heritage. It is Alabama made edible.
Burrito Express does not boast. It does not beg. It simply exists. And in existing, it feeds more than hunger—it feeds the soul.
