My wife discovered his place and I decided to see what this place ahead while I was ordering. This place does a custom of nearly everything. I ordered a specialty of a burrito and it came out really good actually. It even came with a side of salsa chips and you get to pick your own dip that you would like to choose with it. Staff here was very nice and actually went above and beyond for our order. Restrooms were in fair condition too. Great quality food, there wasn't a lot of people inside as well. There was ample amount of parking featured here too though if anything there's parking on the lot behind the building. Overall, I was pretty impressed with my visit here read more

Two years ago, this place was a reliable go-to. Now, it's a descent into disappointment. Dark brown guacamole & black cilantro, uncovered queso with a suspicious yellow crust, and aggressively fermenting salsa paint a grim picture. Combine that with uncovered sweet tea attracting flies and a general lack of cleanliness, and you've got a recipe for disaster (not the delicious kind). This experience isn't a one-off. It's been a steady drop for about a year. Fermenting salsa, a clear sign of unsafe food handling, is the final straw. Fresh, refrigerated salsa takes about a week to ferment as in the video. I witnessed the same thing six months ago and vowed to never be back, but I fell into the trap today yet again. Who's running this place? Are they simply unaware, or willfully ignoring the issues? Were they ever trained on food safety? Is this place ever inspected? Either way, it's a gamble with your health. After five years of loyalty, I'm out. This location has had its chance. It's now off my list, and frankly, it should be off yours too. Let's call it what it is: a place where "Botulism Burrito" or simply "Botulritos" are more fitting names. read more

Barberitos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Bristol, Virginia

I went here cause yelp has it labeled as Tex-mex... not quite that.. but I digress. Being a Texan and expecting it to be right outside of the state is just setting my expectations too high. The concept is a lot like chipotle but a knock off version. A dupe if you will.. the main food is pretty good. No real complaints with that.. However this "cheese dip" which is what we call queso in Texas is really quite disappointing. First off.. it's cold and queso should be hot. And then it's gritty soup consistency. I find this odd. Maybe cheese dip is gritty cold cheese soup... but queso is creamy, thick and hot. At 1.99 I didn't waste any money-- so I won't kill them with stars lost.. but I say avoid the extra cost. Unless gritty coldness is a thing people enjoy? I have no idea. read more

Barberitos - Cheese grit gaspacho'eqe soup-- called cheese dip not a fan. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Bristol, Virginia

The main issue is the beans were undercooked and crunchy. Everything else was tasty. We ordered from door dash and the first thing they brought wasn't our order but had the correct things listed on the bag making us think it was a restaurant error not door dash. Either way they fixed it just put us eating later than we would have liked. read more

We stopped going there because of the super rude and hateful blonde girl that works/worked there. The first time she was nasty to me...figured she was having a bad day. I was going through the line. There were NO other customers. Not a soul in the restaurant but me and the other girl who was working the register. She was so smarmy and rude...and I let it slide. She acted like I was the biggest inconvenience of all time. Y'all...all I wanted was a burrito bowl. Nothing fancy...no special anything...and I was friendly and in a great mood. All of a sudden this man and woman walk in as she is finishing my order...and she scowls at me...made a huffing sound...and said "Ugh is this going to be TOGETHER?!?!" Now I don't know what it was that came over me...but I was over her attitude...so I bowed up on her and snapped back..."What are you talking about?! I don't even KNOW those people." The other blonde girl...the pretty and thin one, was working the register. She just stared at the girl in disbelief and apologized to me profusely. She told me that it had happened to other customers too and she was "so sorry". The second time she was rude AGAIN. I went in...ordered my food and she just glared at me the whole time. Like...I had killed her dog or something. It was so out-of-the-blue. She was snippy and hateful. I swore I'd never go back...but...there was a third and last time. The last time I went in I was with someone. We wanted something Mexican and didn't want to drive down to the Pinnacle. She was hateful to both of us. He was chill about it...but I had seriously had enough of that little troll...and as I walked out I just said "Oh helllll no...I'm not paying to get treated like trash and to be talked down to by this terrible girl again. Not happening." I asked my friend if it was just my imagination or was she really as bitchy as I thought she was. Now keep in mind...he's a VERY non -confrontational person. He said "yeah...she was awful." I had told him about my experience before we went in...not realizing that the person that would serve us...would be that girl. I felt sorta bad about snapping at her and leaving...so I asked him "was I mean or rude to her or...did I say something offensive?" He just said, "Yeah...but that was AFTER she had been condescending and rude two or three times. She's just a spoiled ass kid that thinks she can treat people however she wants to...and get away with it. What do you expect? It's Barberito's." He ended up calling to complain about the service. The manager claimed they were going to do something about it...but who knows if they did or not? I never went back. Three times was enough. Now here's the hell of it...she is the ONLY person who's ever been rude or mean there. Seriously...every other employee there has been extremely helpful and nice. Other employees have apologized for her attitude. She made me not ever want to go back...and trust me...I told all of my friends about the experience. They haven't gone back there since, either. Pretty sad. The food wasn't that bad. If I want someone to be awful and treat me like a dog...I'll just go to my ex-husbands house and tell his wife to make me a sandwich. #truth read more

I have never had a bad experience at Barbs. In my book they get the ever so rare 5 star. Dining area, kitchen and bathrooms are always clean. Tables are always bused promptly and staff is always nice (and actually ask how you are with a smile even). Love the cheese dip, would recommend getting the small just for you, medium for two and large for groups of four or more. I get the taco bowl and it is always filled to the brim with everything I ask for (without having to ask for more). Their burritos are huge and the nachos are also good as well. Go by and enjoy sometime. read more

Barberitos - Veggie bowls or bust! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Bristol, Virginia

Great people and even better food! I absolutely love the atmosphere here! Great place! 10/10 recommend!

I had a party of 50 catered through them. Katie was AWESOME! Everyone loved the food. We had tacos and sides for 50 people. Katie called 2 days before for a final head count. I stopped by to pay them and get a few final details ironed out. Katie arrived at our location a little early, set up all the food in chafing dishes to keep warm, and even brought ice for the drinks. It was such a delight to work with them. I recommend them to anyone that needs to cater an event. Everyone loves a taco bar! read more

Steak nachos with guacamole came to over $20. And the steak looked like garbage, didn't taste much better either. Save yourself the money and go elsewhere. Definitely not even close to being worth the $20 I spent. read more

Not too much to say about Barberitos, other than I like! This location was pretty nice. The staff were quick, very friendly and the food was fresh, the cheese dip warm and creamy. Was a little sad the tea ran out, but otherwise not a bad little taco/burrito place. Check out the variety of salsa as well as gluten free options. read more

Barberitos - Spicy tacos, chips, dip, and tea - Tex-Mex Near Me - Bristol, Virginia

I've been to quite a few of these all over the country, dating back 10+ years. With that said, normally I wouldn't rate them over 3 stars because it isn't exactly gourmet food... yet they charge nearly gourmet prices. Would be better if they charged you based on weight of your food. Wait, that wouldn't make sense cause I'm sure they already brainstormed and decided that the way they're doing things is the best way for them. Just doesn't make sense when I gotta pay the same with my 3-4 toppings as those who load it up with everything. But whatever, lots of other places do that too so it's not necessarily a bad thing. I will however say that if I were to make tacos and burritos at home, it is very similar to what they do there. So that's a good thing that I feel many of their toppings are freshly cut and taste it as well. Also my most recent visit here, young man who rolled my burrito did an incredible job. Tight and perfectly proportioned, and nothing fell out as I ate it. I feel that is really important at places like these especially when you take your food to go and try eating it while driving 155mph in heavy traffic dodging all these slow 45mph drivers during rush hour. Wouldn't want your burrito fillings to shoot all over your pretty (or handsome) date, now would you? So yeah.. 4 stars for them because of the awesome wrapping job. read more

Delicious food!!!! Every time we come into eat they are slammed but the line moves very fast!!!!!!! The kids meal even comes with a cookie! And they have the beat nugget ice!!!!!!!!!! read more

First off the workers were helpful and didn't make me fee like they hate their jobs. I had forgotten to add sour cream and the burrito was already basically wrapped up. I said "oh darn I forgot sour cream" to my mom the worker heard and he happily opened the burrito and added it even though I told him he didn't have to go to the trouble. The chips were the lightest crispiest chips I've ever had. They were great. I had the fajita burrito with steak. The flavor was good. The salsas could use some heat. Nothing seemed go be very spicy but it was good nonetheless. The setup was much like chipotle but with many more options. I hope they make a spicier salsa. Will definitely go back. Friendly customer service is a great thing. Thanks! read more

Man, I love Barberito's. It is easily one of the most missed aspects of Johnson City to me. Their ingredients are not only plentiful, they're fresh and delicious every time. I almost always get a burrito, and only when I don't have any other big meals planned that day. Their quesadillas, taco salads, and fish tacos are delicious too. When I lived there, fish tacos were only served on Fridays so if this is what you love, make sure you check in. Something I cannot go without mentioning is their salsa. This is just the standard salsa that comes for free on the bar, but I swear when I eat it I feel like I'm eating a garden. I typically do not like chunky salsa, but there is something about this stuff that I don't find myself picking my way through it. I love it. They also have good queso dip that you can order for a low price that I like to pour into my burrito as I eat. This place is also very involved with the community, which is worth mentioning. They're always involved with what's going on locally, they support local fundraisers, and they're always having in restaurant contests to keep their faithful costumers coming back. read more

I would like to start off by saying the food was pretty good over all. Unlike Moe's or Chipotle, you only have one option of rice - white. Also unlike the aforementioned restaurants, there is no organization here. I was asked by four different teenage boys if I had been helped, as there was no system in place to know who had ordered what, and the place was pretty busy. Barberitos is a chain restaurant, though they seem to pride themselves on using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. I got a chicken burrito bowl. Everything in the bowl was pretty tasty, though the chicken looked and tasted like it may have come from a can. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak quesadilla. We both thought their salsas from the bar were delicious. You're not given many chips, though it's probably for the best. Some of the chips were very pale, limp and oily like they had possibly been in a fryer that was over-filled. The sweet tea was good and the ice was the small like I know so many people enjoy. My only major complaint is that one of the food handlers kept wiping his gloves on his apron and clothes, then sticking his hands back in the toppings... read more

I am an addict to the fast food burrito joints. I've tried them all, even the incredibly disappointing Panchero's (ick). Barberitos has quickly become my favorite out of all of them. Fresh toppings with so many to choose from. The tofu is cooked in a way that there is tons of flavor. I order the vegan and don't miss the cheese. I just wish i could try the queso. It looks so yummy. read more

This may be the best meal sized burrito place around. I visited for the first time yesterday and throughly enjoyed a grilled steak burrito that was more than enough to eat! It offers multiple choices of tortilla and the ingredients seem much fresher than similar places like Moe's or Chipotles. The salsa choices could be a greater but I'll take limited salsa choices for this kind of quality. The staff was friendly and helpful and if I need to sell you on it anymore the lunch line for this place was looong! It is obviously a popular place in Johnson City. Get there early!! read more

Best Tex Mex I've ever had its farm fresh and made right in front of you . I was shocked and pleased by the taste and quality

Pretty awesome place.. similar to other tex-mex made to order in front of you places, food is fresh.. Can get super busy during lunch (ETSU location for sure) and seating can be tight at the campus location, but that shows you how good they are.. Employees are always super friendly and busy, great food, great atmosphere, closest 5 start without being a 5 star I've ever given.. read more

Very difficult to order, staff didn't work efficiently or well. Also you should label what is under the lids. Can't see the food. Took 20 minutes for them to but food in a bowl. Not a good experience. read more

Best restaurant ever. Hands down Skinny on chipotle with all the veggies you can get. It'll change your life. read more

I wish Trump could've given a extra 20$ with the stimulus check so Barberitos wouldn't have to steal it from me. I had made an online order that should not have been completed, but the manager pushed it through knowing that my order would not be right, because half of the items I ordered weren't available to me. I asked to see if I could get a refund or just have my food replaced on a later date and was denied. read more

Food has no flavor a Tex Mex restaurant. Only thing good was the chips and cheese dip

This location is clean and fresh ! The only one i go to in JC. Very nice employees and they stay busy just about all day.

Imagine Chipotle if Emeril came in there and spiced it up because he was low on cash. Great place.

Wonderful food @ prices that are friendly to everyone's wallet! Choice of tortilla stuffed with as much/little as you like. So full, I have to go back and eat less! read more

Love the salsa verde, come here fairly often. Super delicious. Highly recommend.

I eat lunch here at least once a week. The service is always great and the staff is friendly. The ingredients are always fresh and very tasty. And the portions are big enough that I usually have leftovers. I tried the spicy chicken the other day and it was just hot enough. I love the thin crispy chips which are always perfect. read more

Great authentic Mexican feel. Great pricing and quality food. Highly recommended. Food is fresh and made to order.

Anytime I'm around a barbs, I love to eat here for lunch. It always is a great post workout meal. I've never had a meal I didn't like from there. The chipotle ranch is a plus on any burrito or salad. I definitely recommend going. If there is a line, the wait is always worth it. read more

Let me start by saying that it was very good overall. My party ordered 2 steak salads, a spicy chicken burrito, and a side of cheese sauce. The salads rated very well, the burrito was good but would have been much better if not for the vinegar based sauce. When I think of a Chipotle pepper or sauce.... I think of a smokey heat and definitely not an overwhelming twang of vinegar. It was most certainly hot enough but the vinegar was so pronounced I could not have told you what kind of pepper was in it in a blind taste test. Next time I'll probably do the regular chicken on a Chipotle wrap with maybe the spicy Ranch. That though goes against my grain as I am such a purist, but would probably test better. We will be back most certainly and I still will recommend people try it, just watch the spicey chicken if you don't like vinegar. read more

Food is great. Every time I come here all the workers are running around like a chicken with their head cut off I constantly wait for 30 minutes if it's busy. read more

Love Barberitos! I have eaten there at least once a week for months now. Great food! Staff is always very nice and restaurant is clean.

Decent place. Truly enjoy going there. The sauce bar is upper scale and proves to be a nice touch. The napkins are hidden. Just good old fashioned service. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Johnson City. The staff is always friendly. The food has always been fresh and tasty. Barbiritos is a great place for vegetarians or vegans to dine. The spicy tofu is excellent! read more

Barbs is great when they aren't slacking being lazy the people street location is the best choice the other one smells like a bathroom the second you walk through the door if they would cook the chicken fully every single day it would be amazing but like I said they like to slack sometimes read more

Friendly staff, fresh ingredients, and cheese sauce to warm your soul, Barberitos is a Chipotle-esque environment although I found myself enjoying the food here MUCH more. As I found out, the food is fresh from the farm, the animals are grain and grass fed, and the farmer's picture was up on the wall! The main reason I enjoyed my experience was because the connection to food is real and apparent. Too often in restaurants, we are so disconnected from where the food comes from. Barberitos is the exception. Vegheads, vegans, and meat eaters have a plethora of options to choose from making Barberitos as accommodating as they come. Personally, I went with the tofu bowl and all of the veggies that could fit in it. The meal was delicious, the food was fresh, and that salsa bar made it all worth it. Did I mention the complimentary chips with an entree order?! Ya, that's a real thing here. Enjoy!! read more

Healthy Chicken Salad with extra salsa. Low carb and delish! If you are feeling HUNGRY, go with a burrito. You can't go wrong.

I can't even think of a word awesome enough to describe my experience at Barberito's. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a staff member, who answered all of my questions about the menu, and knew all the gluten-free menu options from memory. I was delighted to see that their menu was vastly more extensive than Chipotle's (the closest thing I can compare Barberito's to). You could say this place was kind of like a "southwestern Subway", where you get to choose what items to include in the entree you pick. I went for nachos, and I was so glad I did, every ingredient was fresh and tasty. I got my meal to go, and was out the door in about 5 minutes total. All the staff members were cheerful and helpful; I might even go out on a limb here and say that Chick-fil-A could learn some customer service tips from Barberito's employees. This was by far the best fast food experience I've ever had! I'll go back as soon as I get back to Johnson City! read more

This place is amazing. It completely embarrasses places like Moe's. The staff is always extremely friendly and the food is second to none, regardless of location. read more
