Xalos Burrito Express Midtown

From the Caldo De Res…this isn’t the texture, taste, or appearance of a potato. It has these fibrous strands that are flexible. A normal potato breaks apart and is spreadable. This is not. This is not real food.

I love eating at any Xalos in ANC. They have delicious tacos. The options include a vegetarian taco with black beans and vegies. Plus all the other taco are awesome. Take your pick because everything there is good food.

Stopped by this burrito spot for a quick bite. The staff was friendly, and the environment was clean and casual—nothing to complain about there. As for the food, it was your standard burrito. Nothing special or particularly memorable, but it gets the job done if you’re hungry and in a pinch. It’s the kind of place you might not go out of your way for, but it works when you need something fast and filling.

Anchorage is not known for spicy food to be honest but this place was above and beyond. Quick and easy with really excellent, fresh mexican fare in a range of heat levels. They have Jamaica and several other cool drinks as well as bottled Mexican soda. Plenty of parking and super easy to get to.

I was excited to try Xalos after reading all of the positive reviews. My California burrito tasted good but the carne asada was pretty tough and some of the listed ingredients were hard to find. I was also let down when I learned that you cannot customize your burrito at all and they don't have a salsa bar. How can you serve chips without salsa and then charge $6 for a small side of salsa? 🙄 I'll come back some time to try the birria tacos... but I'll probably stick to Qdoba or Taco King next time I'm looking for a burrito.
