Huge a** Colimas Burrito! Size of my arm! One of my few favorites! A few taco places on our rotation! One of these days I'll be able to eat the entirety of the burrito! I'll keep you updated!

This is my fave late night spot when I'm craving a good Mexican spot specifically bc of their flaming hot Cheetos Cali burrito! The drive thru line is almost always long but it goes fast and absolutely worth it. I always ask for extra limes bc it plays well with the Cheetos!

This is my third time visiting Colima's in North Park and I have to say that this was probably my best order yet! I got the Bandido Burrito which was PACKED with carne asada, delicious rice and beans, but the chile reno in it is the real showstopper. The burrito was just under $11 which beats the price of other burritos and/or similar items. They have great salsa selections along with grilled and pickled onions to top your meal off. No matter when you visit, the drive thru is slammed but they're quick to take orders. I sat inside this time and there are some benches out back which was nice for enjoying the cool night breeze. The restaurant inside was also full of people which is always a good sign for any establishment. The service wasn't anything noteworthy, but they were friendly enough and super quick when it came to getting our food. I've also ordered the Carne Asada Fries and California Burrito -- both hefty portions with good flavor. I'll def be back and recommend it to anyone looking for a quick bite around North Park!

I placed a very large late night order approximately a day in advance and they were sooo gracious and accommodating! They were prompt and had everything ready to go at my pick up time of 3 am, despite having a long drive through line. I was very grateful for the friendly service and the help loading my car. Our whole group was happy to be fed at that time and really loved the California Burrito and Veggie burrito. Thank you, Colimas!

The restaurant and drive thru were busy on a Saturday night which is always a good sign. The menu is huge and can be a bit intimidating. They do have a parking lot with a limited amount of spaces, which is nice given the area. California Burrito: (4/5) this burrito was decently sized and packed with a whole lot of ingredients. Could have done with less fries, personally, just because they were my least favorite part. I was still able to finish it all in one sitting as someone who is 5'2" 115 lbs (I have zero shame). My first time having a California burrito and it did not disappoint! Birria tacos: (5/5) the birria tacos were offered as one of the specials for the night and came in an order of 3. The meat was tender and juicy and had a lot of different spices to it. Simple yet so flavorful. The salsa bar was good, I really enjoyed the avocado salsa! We ordered chips and guac and the guacamole just tasted like mashed avocado with no additional ingredients or seasoning. Ended up opting for the salsa bar salsas for our chips instead!

This was the first-time ordering at Colima's and it will not be the last! Hats off to Elmer and their team, our company had a large catering order, and they were able to pull this off no sweat! Phone call was top notch and in person was even better. Thank you for all your help, we appreciate you and will see y'all soon!

Today was the second time I visited Colima's for a "I'm feeling fish tacos" run. This spot is consistently solid and ALWAYS packed - especially the drive-thru! These are the tall-tale signs of a great food spot! I've only had the fish tacos and the fish burrito and both were DELICIOUS. Crispy fish and a fulfilling meal every time! I greatly appreciate the salsa bar, which has a variety of choices as well as grilled jalapeños and onions. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always helpful when asked questions about the menu. Overall, I recommend this spot to all folks, locals and visitors alike!

First of all it's 24hours , oh yeah, secondly the atmosphere is just perfect. The music, the tables everything. The staff is very friendly. Look at my taco and beef tostada, I could not find the tostada it was buried by my taco Everything was great, I will be back.

This place was pretty solid. Prices are fair and service was friendly. The California burrito has potatoes instead of French fries. The green salsa is delish. Just wish my bean and rice burrito was bigger. I'll gladly come back and try different menu items.
