Burro Burrito

Went today for lunch. I heard this place (or any within the vicinity) gets crazy packed at lunch, so I waited til 1 to go, after the rush. There was no one in the shop — BINGO! I heard good things about the mole chicken burrito so I got that with all the fixings. The girl at the counter warned me their hot sauce is hot, and let me try it. Indeed it has a good kick so I went with the medium-​hot option. However, next time I will get the full hot as you can’t taste it as much once you add all the filling. The small burrito cost me just under $ 10 with tax. The burrito was delicious! Chicken was tender and so flavorful. My only regret — getting the small and not the large size! YUM!

I really wanted to like this place. I swear I did. But what a huge letdown!
When you see lineups out the door you hope/​pray/​expect that you’ve come to the right place. Not for me at least. The bowl is fairly standard but for $ 12.xx its a ripoff. yes they give include guac but still portion wise even Chipotle does better.
The main reason for my minus 3 stars is the salt. My soy-​vegetarian option was so salty i wanted to lick a napkin after every bite! I’m so sad. I thought ta-​da! authentic mexican within 2 minutes of walking? what more can I ask for… I smh in disappointment.
I’m afraid to try again & end up finding extra salt in my food againt. not sure if I’ll be back to give them another chance.

I went here for dinner on a Friday night and ordered 2 chicken tacos and 1 fish taco. The tacos themselves weren’t heated up adequately and the chicken and fish were basically room temperature. The tacos were also soft and soggy. The tilapia tasted like dirt. I am never going here again.

I just began working in the area and wanted to try this place as it was close by. I decided to order the quesadillas. They were definitely good but I thought the price was a bit expensive. I ordered a small and it cost me just under $ 10 and didn’t even include a drink or the small bag of chips they give as a side. I think I may have also been overcharged because the man in front of me ordered a large burrito and the cashier confused our orders so he ended up paying less than me and getting more. The cashier acknowledged the mistake but never gave me my money back. I would have been happy if she’d even just given me one of the small bags of chips for the mistake. Despite these few disappointments, the food did taste great and I really like the fact that they give you a cup of guacamole with your order. I’m sure I will be back at some point, but I don’t think this will be my go-​to lunch spot.

Stopped here to grab some dinner last night after the gym. We were really craving Burrito Boyz but too lazy to walk a few blocks, and this was right nearby.
Food is good and fairly cheap. I ordered a «naked» burrito (all the burrito ingredients served inside a container, no wrap). It came with a generous portion of tortilla chips on the side.
Meals cost around $ 11 with tax. Portions were good.
The interior is pretty boring with only a couple tables, so best suited for take out.
Overall good place. It’s not Burrito Boyz (cheaper and they cook their meats/​burritos fresh to order) but it’s #2 in terms of burritos!

This place is busy every Mon-​Fri during lunch time and there’s a good reason why! The food is very fresh and tastes very authentic. Compared to any of the (many) other take-​out burrito joints in the area (Burrito Boyz, Burrito Bandidos, Mucho Burrito etc.) this place has real Mexican ingredients and recipes being executed all day long — you can see the women making the meats, salas and guacamole in the store.
I give them less stars because the actual burritos are sub par. They over load them and then bake them as opposed to putting them on a flat-​top or a press. I find this compromises the abilities of the tortilla and more often than not it rips.
The naked burrito, or burrito bowl however is VERY good. I prefer the chicken tinga which is shredded chicken in a chipotle/​adobo type sauce. It comes on top of rice and your choice of beans (black or refried pinto), and with cheese, salsas, guacamole, sour cream, burrito sauce, and cilantro. They also serve a generous handful of tortilla chips on the side which is nice for dipping.
At around $ 10+tax for any item it’s not very cheap but you will get a hefty portion.

Best burritos downtown. Super fresh, authentic Mexican cuisine right at Richmond and Spadina.
It gets super busy around lunch but they’ve managed an efficient production line to keep up with the lunch rush.
The naked burrito is pretty amazing and comes with the standard: rice, refried beans, meat, lettuce, tomatoes, corn, pickled relish, jalapenos and guacamole at no extra charge!
I would recommend the regular chicken and the chicken tinga. I’m sure I’ll be back to try out the tacos and beef!

One of the best Burrito places downtown.
I have been coming here for some time, usually order Burrito (best bang for your buck). Friends have ordered Nachos and tacos and had no complaints
Food:
I ordered pulled pork burrito. They are very generous with adding all the ingredients, pulled pork, guacamole… The burrito in the end up being really heavy.
The cost was just over 10 $ with tax.
Locale:
The location is small, they have a 1 table and a bar with 4 – 5 chairs. I would not recommend this place for people who want to sit down, or are coming in a large group of people.
Really good for: a quick lunch or late night.

Working across the street at 401 Richmond, this place was a diet staple for well over two years. It‘s a solid joint. Some things have changed for the worse since they opened (#1. eliminated the ‘small‘option, #2. portions have gotten smaller on the large option eroding value and #3. you can’t order ‘small chips’ anymore), but it’s still one of the best Mexican places in Toronto. Mostly take-​out although some renovations have made a bit more eat-​in space possible.
Very fresh, quality ingredients, very well seasoned meat options, great fish/​shrimp, and efficient extremely friendly staff. Waaaay better than burrito bandidos and a lot more authentic.
Steak or shrimp tacos, chicken mole burrito or fish salad are the tops.
Enjoy!

It’s a little bit pricy. (13 dollar after tax without a drink.) but with great taste. Their hot pepper is awesome. If you like something spicy, try it.

I’m not a taco snob or a connoisseur for that matter but I know what I like. If I like Burrito Boys do I lose credibility?
Moving on I wanted to try the fish tacos but they were out so I tried the pork and steak.
Wow did I ever reach flavour country! I never experienced such a variety of tastes hitting my mouth. Everything was fresh and loaded with taste. I’ve been to El Sombreo in Mississauga and Rebozos in Toronto and it beats El Sombreo hands down and sorry Rebozos I liked you but now you’ve been beat. Can’t compare Burrito Boyz to this because it is something different but really you should try.
4 Tacos for $ 10? What are you comparing it to? 5 tacos for $ 5 at taco bell? Well worth it. Received a small container of sour crème and 2 small containers of guac and for a guy that is getting used to the taste it’s best i’ve tried.
Before I end this the «hot sauce» was actually hot.
Friendly service, I can’t say anything more but go. You will thank me later.

Look out Burrito Boyz! You’ve finally got some competition.
Got the Chicken Breast (Tinga) burrito on a basil tomato wrap with everything (including jalapenos) on it. Hands down the best burrito that I’ve had in a while; the meat and veggies were tasty, the guac was just right, and the burrito itself was toasted to perfection. It was spicy though so be careful. They do not have options for burrito sizes. Mine came to $ 11 so a bit on the pricey side.
Although this location is out of the way for me, I’m sure that I will visit their College location in the near future.

If I’m correct Burro means Donkey in Spanish and that makes perfect sense why this place would be called Burro Burrito because these burritos are as big as a donkey.
I have tried every burrito place worth trying in this city and there are plenty worth eating but none compare to Burro’s burrito. These things are so big and so delicious that I walk 35 minutes each way at lunch and mow down on it while walking back allowing the whole world see my messy saucey happy face.
Make sure to get the chicken mole and put everything on it and you’ll enjoy the best burrito you’ve ever had

Been here half a dozen times with and without my girlfriend and every time it has been excellent.
Well priced, fresh ingredients, fast service and large portions. Can’t go wrong!

We had to try this place after a co-​worker exclaimed that it was the best burrito he’s ever had. The storefront is a little difficult to find as it’s off in a side street and looks inconspicuous. I ordered the pulled pork burrito ($ 11 + change after tax), and found it quite heavy… maybe 2lbs?! The burrito was decent, but I found the inside to be too watery. The best part is that they don’t charge extra for guacamole. One of my co-​workers ordered the quesadilla with fish and suggested avoiding the fish. His quesadilla didn’t look much like what I expect a quesadilla to look like. It wasn’t toasted and didn’t have that much cheese.

I come here once per week AT LEAST for lunch since I work in the hood. I was a regular at Burrito Bandito until this place opened. I find it more authentic both in food and the staff (who are all Mexican women speaking Spanish). Until recently they had a regular size and large size burrito ($ 7.50 and $ 9.50 respectively) but have now eliminated the regular. The large really is too big for the average person so at first I was a bit put off, but now I just eat half at lunch and save the rest for dinner! All ingredients are fresh fresh fresh!
Their tacos are also great, as is the homemade Guac! I find their homemade tortilla chips a little over cooked but still tasty for sure!

«Real mole tacos in Toronto?», I said, deeply skeptical. Seven years of frequent travel to California have killed my ability to eat poor imitations of Mexican food. However, my desire for tacos outweighed my skepticism and off I went.
The result? Four delightfully sloppy and delicious mole tacos, and numerous repeat visits. The staff are solid, the options are good, and turnaround is quick. The main downside is the price is a little high for tacos, but I’ll live with it because, well, I love tacos.

Being from the US I have acquired a certain fondness for Mexican food. Unfortunately most of the burrito joints in GTA are a bit too hygienic in consistency and often lack the kick I’m used to. Burro absolutely nails it! I have been able to try about the whole menu and have had a great meal every time. My absolute favorite though is the Mole burrito.
The manager and staff have always been incredibly nice and helpful every time I visit. I absolutely would recommend Burro to anyone looking for a great cheap and filling Mexican experience.

These burritos are delicious and they do NOT skimp out on the portions! Being a big fan of this location and the College Street location, I will keep going back… I’ve tried many a burrito joint in the GTA and they have all left me desiring, with the exception of sweet Burro… their toppings are fresh, plentiful and delicious! They have a great repertoire of selections and by far, it kicks any other take-​out burrito place’s a** !!
Don’t rely on going here to dine-​in. they do have a small seating area with some bar stools, but it’s great for take out, and the burritos are nothing shy of torpedos in size. You will be more than satisfied, and the prices are super reasonable.
I’ve tried the chicken tinga and the chicken mole, with mole being far superior. They give a very generous portion of meat, as compared to other burrito joints, as well as plentiful toppings, so you are guaranteed to be full. Best burrito in town in my books.

This place is very reasonably priced for how delicious their burritos are.
Ingredients are fresh and plentiful.
They’re not douches so they don’t charge extra for guac. or sour cream. Big fan.
The only issues I have is their «hot» is quite mild, so ask them to pump up the hot sauce and they run out of things (like beef!?) if you come late at lunch.
Also, the regular is BIG BIG, no need for the large.
