A Mexican-inspired restaurant tucked inside Christophia’s Building along the Dumaguete-Valencia highway is drawing attention from casual diners, commuters, and families looking for hearty meals at reasonable prices. Los Burritos Mexican Restaurant, situated near the easily recognizable Eterna Funeral Chapels and Crematory and the Ichiraku restaurant, offers a straightforward but well-rounded menu centered on familiar Mexican-style comfort food. This guide covers everything on the menu — from burritos and tacos to frozen margaritas — based on the restaurant’s posted menu as reviewed in May 2026.
Where to Find It and Who It’s For
Los Burritos occupies a spot inside Christophia’s Building along the Dumaguete-Valencia corridor, a stretch of road that has seen steady growth in commercial establishments in recent years. The building’s neighboring landmarks — Eterna Funeral Chapels and Crematory and Ichiraku — make it easy to spot for both first-time visitors and regular commuters passing through the area.
The restaurant is designed for casual dining. Its menu and pricing structure caters to individuals, families, and groups of friends looking for a filling sit-down meal without the cost of a full-service restaurant. Main dishes are priced between ₱275 and ₱475, placing it firmly within the mid-range casual dining category.
The Burrito Selection: The Heart of the Menu
As the name suggests, burritos take center stage at this restaurant. Four distinct burrito formats are available, each offering a slightly different take on the classic wrapped meal.
The Burrito Classico (₱325) is the foundational option — a flour tortilla stuffed with the diner’s choice of meat alongside refried beans, lettuce, tomato, onion, sour cream, and cheese, served with salsa on the side.
The Burrito Suizo (₱345) elevates the classic by baking the tortilla and finishing it with a topping of red sauce, cheese, and sour cream — a warmer, richer take on the standard version.
The Wet Burrito (₱385) goes a step further, combining meat, refried beans, and rice inside a baked tortilla that is then smothered in red sauce and topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion, served alongside sour cream and salsa. It is one of the more filling options in the lineup.
The Burrito Bowl (₱295) takes a deconstructed approach — the same core ingredients of meat, rice, refried beans, lettuce, and tomato are arranged in an open-faced tortilla base, topped with sour cream and cheese, and served with salsa. At ₱295, it is one of the most affordable full-meal choices on the entire menu.
Mains Beyond Burritos: Tacos, Fajitas, Ribs, and More
The menu extends well beyond burritos, with a range of Mexican-style dishes that give diners plenty of variety.
Tacos (₱325) come as a set of three flour tortillas packed with meat, lettuce, tomato, onion, sour cream, and cheese, served with salsa. Quesadillas (₱275) feature a toasted tortilla filled with meat, cheese, tomato, and onion, served with sour cream and salsa. At the same ₱275 price point, the Enchiladas are three baked tortillas covered in enchilada sauce and topped with cheese and sour cream — both of these are the most budget-friendly items on the main dish list.
The Chimichanga (₱355) offers a deep-fried tortilla filled with meat, rice, refried beans, and Mexican rice, topped with sour cream, cheese, and salsa. Tostadas (₱325) present three deep-fried tortillas topped with refried beans, meat, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and sour cream.
The Nacho-Rama (₱435) is a shareable crowd-pleaser — homemade flour tortilla chips loaded with meat, refried beans, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and sour cream, served with salsa. It sits near the top of the menu’s price range and is well-suited for groups.
Fajitas (₱375) give diners a choice of protein — chicken, beef tenderloin, or shrimp — sautéed with bell peppers and onions, and served with either flour tortillas or Mexican rice alongside salsa.
The most expensive item on the menu is the Mexican Ribs (₱475): slow-cooked baby back ribs glazed in the restaurant’s signature BBQ sauce, plated with Mexican rice, refried beans, and coleslaw. For diners seeking a substantial, indulgent meal, this is the clear top-of-menu option.
Rounding out the savory mains is Chili Con Carne (₱325) — a beef chili prepared with fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, served with a choice of flour tortillas or Mexican rice.
Meat Choices and the ₱125 Meal Upgrade
For most dishes, diners select from three standard protein options: ground beef, pulled pork, or shredded chicken. Those wanting a premium protein — beef tenderloin or shrimp — can upgrade for an additional ₱50 per dish.
A ₱125 meal upgrade is also available for any item on the menu. This add-on converts a single dish into a larger set by including Mexican rice, coleslaw, refried beans, or seasonal guacamole. The upgrade is a practical choice for diners who want more volume without placing an entirely separate order — particularly useful for families or those with larger appetites.
Side Dishes: Mexican Staples and Familiar Extras
The sides menu blends Mexican restaurant staples with more broadly familiar options. Mexican Rice and Refried Beans are each priced at ₱45. Guacamole, listed as seasonal availability, is also ₱45. Sour Cream and Cheese Sauce are available at ₱35 each, and Mexican Coleslaw is also ₱35 as a standalone side.
For those wanting something more familiar alongside their meal, French Fries are listed at ₱95. Cheese Fries step up to ₱145, and the Chili Cheese Fries — the most expensive side at ₱205 — layer the restaurant’s chili preparation and cheese sauce over a base of fries.
Drinks: From Local Beer to Frozen Margaritas
The beverage selection at Los Burritos suits both casual solo visits and livelier group outings. San Mig Light and San Mig Pilsen are each priced at ₱75. Soft drinks — Coke, Royal, and Sprite — are listed at ₱50, while Coke Zero and Soda Water are ₱65. Bottled Water is ₱40 and Iced Tea is ₱50.
For something with more character, Rum or Whisky with Coke is ₱95. The signature Frozen Margarita is priced at ₱175, while the Frozen Mango Margarita — a tropical twist on the classic — is listed at ₱195. Non-alcoholic shake options include the Mango Shake and a seasonal Avocado Shake, both at ₱120.
What to Order on Your First Visit
For diners visiting Los Burritos for the first time, the Burrito Bowl at ₱295 is a smart starting point — it delivers a complete meal experience at one of the lowest price points available. The Tacos (₱325) and Fajitas (₱375) are also reliable first-visit options, offering broad flavor coverage within the restaurant’s core Mexican-style format.
Those with bigger appetites or a preference for something more indulgent should consider the Mexican Ribs (₱475) or the Nacho-Rama (₱435), both of which represent the restaurant’s most substantial offerings.
For groups and families, pairing any main dish with the ₱125 meal upgrade is a cost-effective way to build out the meal without over-ordering. The side dish lineup — particularly the Chili Cheese Fries and Nacho-Rama — also works well for shared table snacking.
A Growing Dining Option Along the Dumaguete-Valencia Highway
Los Burritos adds to a corridor that has increasingly become a destination for casual dining, driven by the residential and commercial growth between Dumaguete City and the upland municipality of Valencia. Its roadside location inside Christophia’s Building, flanked by well-known landmarks, gives it strong visibility for both passing motorists and local foot traffic.
With a menu structured around customizable, protein-forward Mexican-style dishes and an accessible price range, Los Burritos positions itself as a practical option for a wide range of diners — from solo travelers grabbing a quick meal on the road to families settling in for a full sit-down lunch or dinner.
