Pappasito’s Legendary Burritos

I was heartbroken when Burrito Banditos closed down and was super excited to see a new spot open up in the same location. The menu and quality are extremely similar to Banditos so if you’re a fan, don’t hesitate to check it out.

Burritos are about as good as most burrito joints, but what sets it apart is the warm and friendly service from the staff. Even at near midnight on a Saturday, in what surely can’t be an easy shift, the girl behind the counter manages to smile and hold a friendly conversation without sacrificing efficiency. I will tell all my friends about this hidden gem and will definitely be making my way back for another surf and turf burrito very soon.

I got a Groupon deal and I went out of my way to visit this place. No biggie, I wanted to go for a walk lol. If it’s your first time to look for this place, it’s in the basement.
The staff was nice to me, so service, I’d say is good.
Food wise, it’s nothing special. I prefer burrito boys, but I’d take them over chipotle. Their rice was incredibly dry though, when it actually hurts to eat it already. I mean, not the entire rice on my burrito, but enough for me to notice. I’m talking about when you refrigerate the rice and did not cover it… It’ll get crazy hard… Ya… That. I’m sure it was just a bad day for the rice as I didn’t read any comment about it.
I’d give them a four if it wasn’t for that rice.
It’s good. It’s filling. It’s worth it for the price, but it’s not something I’d go out of my way for again.
I recommend it if you are in the area, craving for a burrito and are mad hungry, this place will hit that spot.
Update: Alright, so I went back for my second groupon, got the Chicken burrito. I got it before 2pm, so they haven’t been open for that long. The same problem, super dry rice. There were no more shards of glass… I mean rice… but it was still really dry. I’m starting to wonder if that’s a thing for burritos.

I bought a groupon and was skeptical as I entered the below street entrance. I was pleasantly surprised. I got the beef burrito bowl and it was delicious, filling, fresh, spicy and a great price. I would definitely go back. New fav spot downtown for a quickbite.

Awesome food, awesome and friendly staff. Good portions. Quick service too! Open late, even on weekdays. Our go-​to late night burrito joint in Toronto.

Had a small steak bowl the other day. They give you a generous portion of salad, guacamole and steak. I asked for extra spicy and it was indeed spicy. Will definitely come back if i am shopping around Queen west.

Stumbled upon this place during my adventures in Toronto this past weekend. I was in town for NBA All Star Weekend and heading to a party a few doors down from this little gem. There was a delay in getting into the club and it was BEYOND freezing outside so we decided to walk down the street to find someplace to duck out of the cold. To my surprise we found this great little burrito place it’s a very small venue, but great for a quick bite. Everything was made fresh as you waited. I had a shrimp quesadilla which was HUGE! Big juicy shrimp which I watched him sear and packed with any other ingredients you choose. It was super cheesy and flavorful. Best part is they are open until 4am! If you’re clubbing in the area definitely check them out!

I went here today and initially I wanted to order a halibut burrito and pork burrito, but the lady behind the counter said that there was no halibut available. So I ended up ordering a chicken burrito and pork burrito. While we were waiting for the two burritos to crisp up on the stove top I asked her if they ran outta halibut or are they removing it from the menu. She said that they ran out of batter… I believe it was the owner that heard this and he said ‘oh you want fish? I have the batter in the car! I will get it. Even though you already have the two burritos made up, the fish burrito is on the house!’ How awesome?! Great customer service! I just ate the fish burrito and it was so amazingly tasty, melt in your mouth deliciousness! My hubby ate the pork burrito and he said it has a nice kick to it. No charge for the guacamole in the burritos. lots of other places will charge ya $ 2 for it. Much better than burrito bandidos. I agree with the other post, the ingredients are very fresh. Best burrito joint in the city hands down!!! I will be back for more!

We came here with a Groupon and overall our experience was great. We got the half steak half chicken quesadillas which tasted great (although I don’t think their steak is actual steak) and the tacos with pulled pork which were awesome! The total came to 19.39 and was enough food for 2.

I ate here. I like it better than Chipotle, z-​teca and Burrito Boys. They don’t charge extra for guacamole and they toast ur burrito.

Burritos the size of a small child.
Probably the best burrito I’ve ever had! Nice location too, kind of a hole in the wall kinda vibe.

How are they legendary when they only have one location and it seems they’re copying burrito Bandidos. I wouldn’t recommend this place. The staff seems unfriendly and lack professionalism. I tried the steak and it was soo dry. Wish Bandidos was still here not this cheap imitation. I’ve heard they’ve let go of the staff from Bandidos and used them to get recipes from burrito Bandidos. Not going back

First of all, don’t call ground beef ‘Steak AAA’. That’s outright false advertisement.
Everything was so mushy I couldn’t tell what was in the burrito.
For the money you pay for small burrito, you can get a large laffa wrap at mevame few blocks away.

This is my 3^rd time in here and I only have had great experience honestly really cool great food and very fast you know the place gets packed so waiting few minutes not a big thing however the downside not much Spanish spoken in here but the good food quality and the place that’s just waking distance from my office it’s really cool but the same people work in there just like before other than the name change I don’t know the difference but I’ll be back for more lounges.

Used to LOVE this place when it was Burrito Bandidios, though it recently changed management and re-​branded to Pappasito’s.
I ordered a chicken burrito and they gave me steak.
Went back to fix the error and they gave me steak AGAIN!
I returned to the store again and was told that their chicken is free-​range which means «it would be darker and taste differently than regular chicken» (???).
If that’s the case, then remind me to never buy free range chicken from the grocery store again. It was dry and chewy and DEFINITELY tasted like beef! Manager offered no recourse or refund. Tossed the terrible lump and went to Burro Burrito up the street.
Will not be eating here again.

These burritos taste ‘cleaner’ and more wholesome than the previous version with Burrito Bandidos. The ingredients seem more fresh. Menu seems very similar to previous owners. Some new options would be nice…
Management appears to be making an effort to be more friendly to customer too, which never hurts.
+1 For apparently *not* using Halal meats (at least not according to signs on the door) which Burrito Bandidos used: P
