The restaurant’s cuisine is a celebration of bold, robust flavors without an overwhelming heaviness.

So much better than the other Mexican restaurant across the street. Robust menu. Food came out quickly. Decent sized portions and everything was flavorful. Not at all greasy. I am not a fan of any type of refried beans and these I actually liked and ate. Guacamole was yummy. Service was great. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean, no weird smells, nicely lit and decorated. Will definitely be back to try some of the unique house specials.

Me and my wife have been going to La Burrita for years and it has remained one of our top food spots for date nights or even just to go. Even before it's always been her families favorite spot since they've lived here. The food is always great and the people there are always nice and quick with service. We will continue to give La Burrita our business and I can't wait for our next visit.

Omg! I think one of the two BEST Mexican restaurants in Grants Pass! I substituted the chicken for shrimp on the streak/chicken platter. They even brought out a grilled jalapeño which I would have had to fight for at any other place. It absolutely hit the spot!! Made my night! Thanks!

This was my first visit to LaBurrita in Grants Pass Oregon. The restaurant reminded me of Mazatlan Mexico. The portions were generous and satisfying. The menu had a good selection of Mexican and American beers as well as mixed drinks. My party was seated immediately and complimentary taco chips and a mild salsa placed on the table. It was a bit expensive at $45 after tip for three adults, but the quality and quantity were well worth the money.
