The crunch wrap is the best!!!! Better than Taco Bell. The ground beef is flavorful and made well with excellent halal meat. The tortilla chips are nothing special but nice to have with the meal. The sauces that come with are really good and go well with the meal and the chips. One thing I wish they had were different kinds of salsas. The fries were good as well and flavorful but a little soggy. Overall this will be my go to place for crunch wraps. While they could improve on things, I'm not going to complain because I'm very happy with their crunch wraps! They are 10/10!!! read more

Afghan Burrito - Golden Crunch Wrap with Ground Beef - Mexican Near Me - Berkeley, California

I will be dreaming about this place until next time! Do not look any further; if you are in the area this is a must stop by spot. If you are coming here, you'll have to find street parking. I found a parking spot fast. They have an indoor and outdoor area. The staff is friendly and attentive. Now for the food, hands down to the best chicken burrito bowl I've ever had. They have only a few choices: burritos, bowls, nachos, quesadillas and salads. I ordered a chicken bowl that was beyond amazing. It came with beans, rice, pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, and lettuce, and I added fajitas and jalapeños at no cost but you have to ask for them. It has a spicy homemade sauce (golden sauce) that is very flavorful. The chicken is marinated with Afghan styles spices which is what makes this place so unique. The flavor and tenderness of the chicken were something like I'd never had before. My daughter had the steak and it was really good, but the chicken taste was unique. If you are in the area, give this place a try. You'll be back! read more

The 5 star reviews are real ya'll! My burrito was the most unique tasting burrito I have ever had in the most positive way! The flavors just worked. Can we talk about how hefty that bad boy was? I could have knocked someone out with it lol Service was quick and efficient. Food warm and ready to indulge in! read more

This place is really good. The curry in the burrito is different but delicious. The two sauces take the burrito to a whole other level. The girl that took our order was so kind and patient (it was our first time and we took forever lol) she let us wait inside where the tables were because it was freezing outside. I will say though if you're craving Mexican food, although good this burrito won't curb that craving. It is definitely and something you have to be in the mood for. read more

Afghan Burrito is one of the best spots to enjoy delicious Mexican food with Afghan Marinated styles --indoors or outdoors!

And don't forget to finish your meal with a warm cup of rich and creamy karak tea--the perfect ending to your experience. read more

Wow. I was blown away by Afghan Burrito. After agonizing where to go for dinner, with nothing sounding good, my friend thought of Afghan Burrito and immediately said that he was definitely taking me there because I just had to try it. I had no idea what to expect, but I trusted that it would be good. I ordered a "Golden Burrito," "Afghan Way," steak burrito. This is going to sound ridiculous, and I seriously don't typically use these words to describe food, generally, but this "burrito" was just divine. I was transported to a blissful world in which all that existed was me and an Afghan burrito that was exactly what I didn't know I wanted. The flavor of the beef was mouth-watering. The lettuce on top was fresh. I really enjoyed the way they prepared the tortilla. (The sign said "fried tortilla," but it wasn't the greasy, deep fried situation you might expect. Hard to describe.) The ambience was inviting. Not fancy, but the type of place where I would want to hang out with friends or host a party where everyone was happily chatting. It's all outdoors. The lighting is warm. Each table with chairs has its own pavilion, with generous space and plants between each table for privacy. There is a heated, enclosed area for chilly nights. On top of that, the staff were friendly and caring. If you read their "Story" by the menu, they clearly care about building a community. I definitely will be recommending Afghan Burrito to my friends. read more

Our experience at Afghan Burrito was so good! The folks working here are kind, helpful, and excited about their food. We ordered a chicken golden burrito and a steak burrito bowl salad. All of our questions were patiently answered and overall good vibes. What makes this place different is how the marinade the meat! We waited about 10 minutes for our food to come out. The bff and I were Starving Marvin, and it was hard to wait to take photos. I personally remembered ravaging my half of the salad and burrito in minutes while my friend chatted, lol. The steak and chicken were tender. The golden sauce in the burrito/bowl was deliciously creamy and added a good kick. We really appreciated that the burrito was grilled beautifully. The amount of sauce was perfect and didn't give soggy burrito bottom. They served two hot sauces, one sweet chili (similar to the kind served with egg rolls--I believe not homemade) and a creamy garlic chili sauce that was homemade. We ate up the homemade sauce. Ugh, so delicious! I look forward to visiting this spot again soon! read more

I don't really get all the raves about this place. Had their burrito bowl and crunch wrapped.... Fully loaded on both and there was no dimensions to the flavors. I got sick of the flavor after a few bites and ended up not finishing my food. Then got the biggest stomach ache about an hour after. read more

Very unassuming spot on San Pablo, but don't miss out on these burritos. I drive past all the time and didn't realize this hidden gem. I had the golden chicken burrito which blew my mind. All the flavors blend well together and the amount of food they pack in a tortilla is insane. Make sure to come hungry, when you see the gold wrappers you know where it came from! I'll be back to try out some of the other dishes soon. read more

Very flavorful food! At first it looks like a Chipotle bowl, but the distinction is in the sauce and the way the meat is cooked. Lots of outdoor seating and indoor seating and the ambiance is peaceful and blocked away from the busy street. read more

The service was great and the burrito we got was delicious. We will be back to try more dishes.

Located on busy San Pablo Ave but a to-go option is available. There is also seating here inside a glass covered area, but be careful of where you think the door is because I saw someone walk straight into the wall. Employees are super friendly here. I got a burrito bowl (Afghan style) with grilled chicken. It was so delicious! It was seasoned well and the price is fair for such a large portion. I personally didn't think that they skimped on the protein for mine, but I also did get the fajitas, lettuce, and corn in there which might've made it seem like it wasn't just all rice. read more

Nachos are on point!!! Loaded steak spicy just like I like it! Perfect ambiance can't wait for the summertime nights. Drove all the way from Manteca just to try this place. I'm definitely coming back ins. read more

Was looking for a quick healthy meal that was full of flavor and this place completely out-did all my expectations. I loved how I was getting a mix of halal guys with a Chipotle delivery! And the taste was soooooo good! I highly recommend if you're in Berkeley/West Oakland area. The service was absolutely fantastic as well! read more

The Steak Burrito Bowl was phenomenal - the salsa verde and medium spicy sauce added the most perfect spice level with each bite. There wasnt too much of one thing and less than another, everything was portioned soooo good and will definitely be adding this to my go to spot! read more

Not sure if my taste buds are worn out or what, this place when I first tried it was amazing, like amazing! I had a chicken steak bowl recently and it didn't have any type of seasoning. I like the outdoor seating vibes but not sure that I'll return here. read more

Nothing really special. Got a chicken burrito "Afghan Style." Rice and beans weren't particularly flavorful. The cheese was below ambient temperature and was off putting being cold. Ordered without sour cream but they ignored that and order had sour cream. Best thing this place has going for it was the marinade/sauce on the chicken was pretty good and the value was pretty good. Would have given it 4 stars except for the sour cream issue. read more

Finally got to try this place. It's not traditional Mexican food as the name implies. Great portions for the price. They have a nice covered eating area outside and they provided great customer service. Would try again if I'm in the area again. Wish they had traditional burritos and tacos without the golden sauce read more

Amazing work guys. I'm not sure even how to summarize this delicious burrito but it's truly a fusion of Mexican and Afghan food. I tasted solid base of Spanish style rice with black beans but a total mind blowing golden Afghan flavor with turmeric marinated chicken. If I could give this place a 15/10, I would. It's a very unique Bay Area mash up and I highly highly highly recommend you guys go check it out. I'm certain you can't go wrong and I wish nothing but the best for these guys in making such a creative and excellent burrito. read more

Just had dinner with some friends at Afghan Burrito and it was very good. I ordered the loaded nachos, a steak golden burrito and a chicken burrito bowl. The nachos were done before I even looked up, I would recommend ordering two if you're with a group of 4 or more! The burrito was full of flavor, moist and more than enough. Would def recommend! read more

Alright. I'm just going to say it. The golden steak burrito at Afghan Burrito is the best burrito I have ever had in my life. Immediately after my meal I put it in my top 5. Then during my walk home decided it was probably top 3, and now that I am sitting and writing this and had more time to think about it I am giving it the number one spot. I could eat this everyday. The Golden sauce is so freaking good. Creamy, sweet, salty, and rich which they give you a little side of spiced yogurt for to add some acidity to balance it out. My one gripe is that they have a large, sunny amazing patio and no beer or cocktails to enjoy. Maybe it's not that kind of spot, and that's okay, but what a beautiful space they could be leveraging. 5 stars for the food and service (everyone was very very friendly) read more

I NEVER though sweet&sour sauce would (or should) go on a burrito... boy was i wrong, the flavors are insane. We both thought the veggie nachos were great also. I only write 1 or 5 star reviews, and here I am. New go-to late night burritos fasho. Love the concept, love the staff. Try it out I doubt you'll be disappointed. 4 thumbs up. read more

Afghan Burrito - Golden Chicken Burrito Veggie Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Berkeley, California

Best burrito spot in the bay!!! Got the steak burrito jeez soooo good! Going there tonight with the wife!

Everything they make is on point. I thought I'd be a burrito devotee but based on other reviews, I tried the Crunchwrap and that will be my number 1 moving forward. I enjoy the chicken/beef combo. My picky eater child likes their steak quesadilla. They make the food quickly. If you want to save money and put the money in the pockets of the business, order through their website and pick it up if you're in the area. Super easy and conveniently located. read more

I came here with my boyfriend and I ordered the veggie crunchwrap and he got the afghan way golden burrito. He said that the burrito is good but the afghan influence is not apparent. I thought the crunchwrap was pretty good but a little too saucy. I wish it had more beans, rice, and/or vegan meat. We weren't really a fan of the sauces provided. However, the atmosphere is very cozy with lanterns and lots of seating. read more

I saw this spot while driving and got excited for the concept of a fusion between Afghan and Mexican food. I pulled over to give it a try. The food was tasty and good. My biggest issue is that it's misleading. There's nothing Afghan about this spot. It's not a fusion between Mexican & Afghan food. They say their red sauce is Afghan, but it's not. It's some regular sauce. I'm Afghan and thought the concept was great but not true. I highly recommend they rename themselves or do an actually fusion between the two foods. read more

Have the nachos!!! The burritos are super filling and great portion of meat!! My go to spot when I'm in Berkeley. Convenient location, lots of street parking. read more

Had a delicious dinner here last weekend! We both got golden burritos. The portion is huge!! I was full for hours. The burrito is tasty, saucy, and with a good mix of ingredients. I'm not sure what's in their golden sauce but I like it. I ordered mine with spicy sauce and jalapeños and i still wouldn't say it was spicy but it was good. The outdoor seating is lovely and staff was very nice. I look forward to trying other items! read more

This place is a great option for some fusion food! The portion sizes are also very generous which is nice because it's a filling meal! Their service was good as well, and they had a nice outdoor seating area so the ambiance was relaxed and a great place to sit and eat! read more

If I could give zero stars I would solely off of the customer service I experienced. I mean God how terrible was that. The lady working the window (Named Elia) was having technical difficulties accepting card payments after I asked to buy a drink with my meal. After she said the payment did not go through she asked for cash so I gave it to her to save us both the headache. After I pay her cash she hands me an incorrect order missing items as well as claiming she handed me my drinks when she did not. She seemed forgetful in whether she handed me certain items or not. Maybe Afghan Burrito allows their employees to come to work stoned? Regardless, I would never eat here again. read more

I probably eat here twice a WEEK! The chicken and steak nachos are 2nd to NONE! The atmosphere is nice. Next door to a convenient store to get a redbull and Diet Pepsi. You wont eat better fusion food in Berkeley. In fact it almost ruins you cause you begin to compare everyone else to Afghan burrito. Service is amazing. They know me by name and have my order ready in no time. read more

Food is amazing and blends two cuisines from different parts of the world to a mouth watering delight! Ambiance top notch with beautiful lush courtyard. Service is excellent. Simple, clean ingredients yet very satisfying taste. Highly recommended! read more
