Currito – Burritos Without Borders

The chicken tikka burrito was very delicious and filling and the manager gave my son a free cookie. Fast, friendly service and good, reasonably priced food.

Their ultimate chicken quesadilla is probably the best I’ve had! And their Chicken Tikka Burrito is good too!

Not your average Airport Burrito. I was very happy with my Tikka burrito (w/​Chicken). Slightly spicy and solid value.

Friendly staff, food tastes good. Not bad for an airport food court. They charge extra for guacamole, quinoa AND kale so my simple bowl ended up being 11 bucks. This is my second Curritos in a week in totally different states!

I try to avoid eating airport food whenever possible, but sometimes it’s unavoidable. Between having a 2:15pm scheduled departure (meaning I had to leave my apt. before noon to catch the 28X), and not having gone grocery shopping this past week, this Thurs. was one of those unavoidable times. Luckily, my employer footed the bill, as it was a business trip.
I was hoping to hit up Bar Symon, given that it seemed to have the best ratings and reviews in the PIT airport. However, by the time I made it through the TSA line, my flight was 10 min. from boarding, so I decided to opt for the nearest quick serve option that sounded interesting (for airport food…), and Currito fit the bill. I decided to try the Mediterranean burrito ($ 6.99) which I ordered as part of a combo with chips and guacamole ($ 3.49). As appropriate for a fast food/​fast casual stand in an airport, service was efficient, and my burrito was ready within 3 min. of ordering.
Because my flight began boarding as soon as I reached the gate, I was unable to consume my lunch until it was in the air. The burrito consisted mostly of rice, with a few pieces of grilled chicken, some veggies, and a tahini sauce. It was okay, but definitely not the best ever. I’ll be the first to unabashedly admit that I’m not a diehard fan of Chipotle, but Chipotle’s burritos are definitely a cut above the burritos served at Currito in terms of quality. I was also unimpressed with the guacamole, which contained no discernible hint of lime flavor. It did at least contain avocado chunks, though, indicating that it at least didn’t originate in a tube.
Overall, I was unimpressed with my meal from Currito. As I mentioned, I have low standards for airport food, so Currito is no exception in that regard. It is better than the usual McD’s, BK, etc. options, but not by that much. Next time I find myself needing food in the Pittsburgh airport, I’ll try somewhere else instead.

Not bad for airport food! I really try to eat somewhat healthy, but going to Pittsburgh for a business trip I had a little more unhealthy stuff than usual and I wanted something light before getting on the flight. The cheese quesadilla sounded like it would fit the bill… and it really did!
It was actually a lot bigger than I expected and I asked for both sour cream and salsa and had a ton! Seriously they gave me a LOT, which as awesome as I love both!
The people were friendly and the prices, while high because it’s airport food, weren’t too terrible. The food was good and hot, and I would definitely eat here again if I were ever in the Pittsburgh airport!

Stopped for a breakfast burrito and ordered the build your own burrito for 5.99. As it turns out, they ran out of potatoes so it actually makes zero sense to pay the extra dollar to build your own burrito since the egg, cheese, and chorizo/​bacon is 4.99 – the only ingredients they did have. FYI the chorizo tastes like ground beef and resembles Taco Bell. Goodbye, Pittsburgh!

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat between flights. After seeing the mixed reviews I didn’t expect much. The classic burrito was actually pretty good; very similar to chipotle but slightly smaller portions. A soda, chips, salsa and burrito came to $ 10 which was actually pretty reasonable for an airport dinner.

I will give the 4 stars on the airport scale, good value and quality graded on the curve. I had the chicken bowl witch was good and reasonable size, had a side of quacamole with chips and it was fresh and outstanding. Would definitely eat here again

I would give it a three and a half. It’s pretty good but not amazing. Had a tikka steak burrito. Steak was tender, everything else was fresh and pretty good. Given the options at this part of the airport, I would eat here again. Not bad.

Currito is a passable food option for an airport. There really aren’t very many options. The chicken was dark meat and kinda fatty, which puts this place on par with Chipotle. In fact, it is almost the exact same thing. I only tried the salad with no cheese and it wasn’t too bad other than the poor quality meat. The lettuce, corn salsa and tomato salsa were all fresh, but the guacamole was clearly made hours in advance, looking its color and tasting kind of drab.
It was very efficient though to grab a bite right before a flight.

It was so amazing to note that the reviews I read before trying out this place was so perfect. Good meat, good veg choices, and poor service. In my opinion it is probably lack of training. There was no involvement or attempt to be courteous. I might still go back to this place for its good food and value for money! Four stars for food and two for service!

Interesting, but not bad. I haven’t been here since this was the airport Qdoba, years ago now. I WAS just gonna get a chicken quesadilla, but the tikka burrito piqued my interest, so I went for it. Surprisingly good! I’d get it again.

If you’re a traveler it’s obvious Pittsburgh has one of the worst food selection for major airports in North America. Poor, fast food chains litter the place. Meanwhile, Currito, an obvious Moe’s, Chipotle, Rubio’s, Salsarita, Baja Fresh, Qdoba, etc, knock off is one of the better options in the terminal area. It’s not great, by any means, but it’s average, which is a big accomplishment here.
Don’t expect to find friendly, welcoming service here, however. Even the manager walked by us waiting to be helped and she didn’t lift a finger to accommodate. The woman behind us nearly walked away after waiting for five minutes before someone even acknowledged here. A class in leadership would benefit those in charge here. The lack of caring stands out, unfortunately.
Meanwhile, the meats aren’t bad. They are in line with the above mentioned chains, and taste almost identical, in fact. You can also order wheat or white tortillas and build your own burrito or go with one of their pre-​thought-​up options. They also have various sauces in bottles that can be squeezed on to spice up the flavor a bit. The salsas are average, the guacamole is average as are the veggies, but in this airport, average is a good thing.
On a positive note, check out of the prices. The regular burrito, which is more than enough for any human to eat, is a steal when compared to prices you see at most airports.

All I wanted was a cheese breakfast quesadilla with guacamole. Well the guacamole was spicy and the quesadilla was flavorless. Definitely will not be back to this place!

There are a lot of bad reviews of this place, but I have never had a bad experience here. I have ordered the buffalo and tikka tofu burritos, they always are made fast and pretty good for airport food!
I like that they have healthy options (brown rice, whole wheat tortillas, kale, etc) and it’s not that much – $ 6 – 8 per meal, unlike the usual $ 15+ you pay to eat at the airport.
I hope they stay open; it’s my first choice if I’m stuck at PIT and hungry.

Overview:
Currito is a middle-​of-​the-​road build-​your-​own burrito place in the Pittsburgh airport in the vein of Chipotle or Qdoba.
The Food:
Imagine the same ingredients as Chipotle, except slightly lower quality ingredients, and with less seasoning/​mixings. I found my burrito to be more expensive than Chipotle prices with smaller portions and less flavor.
The Service:
This is the primary reason I gave Currito 2-​stars. While the cashier and burrito-​maker were both helpful and quick, their facial expressions and the way they talked to people gave me the impression that they were very sad about their jobs. To contrast, if you’ve ever been to Costco or In-​N-​Out, their employees always seem happy due to high pay and good management. When employees are unhappy, it makes me worried that they will cut corners with food preparation and also impacts how I feel about my patronage to a restaurant.
Conclusions:
Currito ultimately is a below-​average Chipotle clone that needs to treat its employees better.

I’m not one to slam restaurants. But, never again will I trust this place for my food.
I got a chorizo breakfast burrito and ended up with food poisoning. Food poisoning is agonizing to deal with in the fist place, let alone while spending the day flying.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this place.

Dude at the counter was super quick.
my order was sufficient with flavor.
Not bad, not super.
Probably not the best selection before a flight if you have no oral health kit for carry on.

Currito is a knock-​off burrito place in the vein of Chipotle or Qdoba. The food was fresh and decent. I had to try the «Tikka Massala» burrito just for the originality factor. It was amusing — a chicken burrito with chick peas and mild Indian-​themed sauce.
I was not blown away. I was not disappointed. I was on an hour delay on my flight, so time was not a factor. I can’t remember if they served it up quickly or not.
You will get a better-​than-​fast-​food burrito here.
