Okay bottom line up front. Total Friends a Family recommendation...hell, I'd even recommend this to people I don't care for because it's so freaking good.... everyone needs to eat here. 100% legent and I am so adding this to my Yelp Favorites. My son and I were hungry after spending all morning fishing and were looking for a place to grab lunch. Any place claiming to be the Big Boss when it comes to burritos peaks my interest. The restaurant itself was clean, well maintained, the wait staff were friendly and attentive without being over bearing. The menu is extensive and I had a hard time narrowing down my options. But, as I'm a fan of Birria and especially birria tacos the Birria Burrito peaked my interest so I ordered the Birria Burrito...and could not be happier. Without an any reservations, I can say that my burrito was delicious...nothing negative I can say. I thought I was hungry, but I could not finish it. So, Bonus burrito appetizer for me tonight. Seriously...you need to put this into you favorite navigation app right now and give this restaurant a try. read more

Big Boss Burritos - Birria Burrito - So FREAKING goooood! - Food Trucks Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Saw this little gem on TikTok and I knew I had to try it immediately! Our server was so sweet and kind . She was helpful and paid attention to detail . The inside filled up quickly as it has limited seating but it was welcoming and you can tell it's a nice neighborhood gem ! We ordered a little bit of everything - the guacamole we normally prefer it to be spicy... we did have to doc it up by adding some salt and it didn't have the kick we were looking for but it was still good . The empanadas bread was doughy but so good one of the sauces was sweet and the other had a mayo base . The tacos were very good lots of cheese ! We'll definitely be back! read more

Went here Tuesday after 7pm. Inside isn't very big, but there was one booth open when we walked in so we opted to go ahead and eat inside. There's a decent amount of space in the outside dining area though. Service was just okay to me. To eat: I ordered the steak trio (9/10) the steak was seasoned perfectly, the chicken and shrimp were also tasty, and the rice and beans were alright. I also ordered street corn (10/10), loved the flavors. To drink: I asked for a raspberry margarita (0/10), no raspberry flavor at all. Only thing I could taste was a very faint house margarita mixer. While dining I overheard a different table returned their margarita flights because none of them had any flavor. Not sure if this is the usual case with their drinks or just the fault of the bar tender this night, but their drinks were not being made well during my dining experience. I see myself returning for the food, but definitely not for drinks. I hope though if I do return and decide to give their drinks another chance, that it'll actually have flavor. My overall rate of experience : 6/10 read more

Finally! A place to cure my homesickness for San Diego Mexican food! I got the hearty juicy Big Boss Birria Burrito both times because it's so good I just can't help myself! It comes with an birria au jus. Both times it was the best tasting burrito I've ever had...even beats all the burritos I've had in San Diego! My side of guacamole was fresh and huge and chips were homemade as well. The flan was authentic - the real deal. This Big Boss Burrito's location has warm ambiance inside and a nice vibe altogether on the main beach drag . I sat inside and my booth was comfortable. I chose the indoor seating because, although the patio itself had a nice vibe, the seating could be improved to be more inviting and less sparse looking. ALL of the staff was friendly and attentive but not bothersome. That would be great if they served breakfast burritos but, just like a lot of places on the east coast, they don't even know what those are. I guess that is just a so cal thing. Anyway, Big Boss Burritos beats all the other supposed Mexican food joints I've tried out here. The others had no flavor but Big Boss Burritos had just the right amount of spice and the flavor was spot on! read more

This place should be a 5-star restaurant. I'm giving them three stars because of the smell. The restaurant had a weird smell. It could have been disinfectant, but it was not good. Luckily, they have outdoor seating. The outdoor seating faces Ocean View Road, so there is a lot of vehicle noise. The service was fine; I have zero complaints. The food. And this is where this place shines. Birria tacos are excellent. They're messy and topped with onions, cilantro and Melted cheese and sauce was on the side. Carnitas tacos. Slow-cooked pork with red onions and cilantro. Very good. I think that birria tacos are great, but sometimes, the sauce covers up the flavor of the meat. The pork was out in front. There was nothing to hide, and it stole the show. The horchata was excellent as well I want to return, but they must do something about the smell. read more

Fresh and tasty food, massive portions with fast friendly service. Nice patio and dining room. Great addition to the OV food scene!

I like how close Big Boss is to my home. Biking there will be fun! The food was pretty good (I've had better refried beans at Jessy's or even Azteca), but the service could use some improvement. (I realize they are new, and still working out the kinks) When we were seated, I asked the young lady (who appeared to be Latino) if they had any dishes with mole sauce. Not only was she not sure if there's any dishes with mole...but she had never heard of mole sauce! Really?! Someone in our party had ordered a horchata drink. When it was empty, I asked the server if a refill was included free. She said "Yes it is". When I paid my bill, I then saw I was charged for the refill. By that time I was so ready to go...I didn't want to wait to speak to the manager or whatever... I think once they have the permit to sell margaritas...I will be more happy with this place! read more

The customer service was excellent! Great food, excellent location. You can take your food to go and eat at the beach just a block away. The patio is going to be a great place to eat once the restaurant opens. Must try in Oceanview! read more

Quiet environment here, it was empty for lunch with no customers. Don't sit outside because your food will get swamped by flys that won't go away. Queso was decent and I got a quesadilla but it's nothing to rave about. The salsa taste like it comes out of a can, chips were over fried and hard. The aguas Fresca was actually great. I got the mango and it tasted fresh. My server was also good. read more

Love the decor and how flavorful the food is here. Very quick service and customer service also welcoming. Worth the penny for the portions you receive as well. read more

I had passed this place several times before they opened and I just happened to drive by on the Fourth of July and noticed that they were open so me and my daughter made a conscious effort to come and check this place out for lunch today. My daughter ordered the Philly cheesesteak burrito and I had the Birria tacos. When I come into a restaurant to do a review, I look at everything how the staff treats you how the food taste compared to other places my daughter was very impressed with her burrito with the exception that it was overloaded with green peppers, I took a bite and I agreedshe tasted my tacos and said that they were more flavorful than the other style of tacos that we had in various other places the only thing that I was disappointed about was on the menu when I ordered. my meal was supposed to come with three tacos, rice and beans. I didn't realize until I actually reviewed the menu again before I wrote this post and I never got my rice and beans and that's normally what I really enjoy next to the tacos, the staff was nice. The young lady that waited on us was a little eager. She kept asking when we ready to order, but we needed a minute because the menu is very fast if you go online or their website, please note the menu in-house. The prices are higher. We did notice that because we did a little bit of reviewing the place and looking at other people's reviews before we even went. I can honestly say I will go back but when I go back, I'm going to make sure that I look at the menu and get exactly what I paid for. We spent almost $70 with tip and we didn't get all of our food. That's a little pricey for a burrito and just three tacos oh my daughter had a large passion fruit drink. I had water so I can't say it's on the pricey side, but it's worth it because it was flavorful. Enjoy the pics I only gave it three stars because I didn't get my complete meal. read more

Ate on the patio last fall with a lady friend. Beautiful weather and great food. Pleasant atmosphere with friendly and kind servers and hostess. They loved explaining the menu. Big portions. We needed a doggie bag. It was a great experience and a wonderful afternoon read more

Ok guys. Please do better. Waited almost a year to open. Went once to the truck to sample. It was horrendous! I got the steak with fries burrito. Fries were only halfway cooked....if that. The meat was worse than steak mmmmms. I messaged the restaurant on fb messenger and never heard back. So the restaurant opens and we figured it would be better than the truck. I agreed to give them a second shot. I should not of. Me and my girl were totally disappointed with what we got. Skip this place and go to Chipotle...atleast they are consistent there. read more

I've been in here twice now and while the service has been nothing but great, the food unfortunately lacked. Both the birria tacos & ground beef tasted straight up bland, the ground beef had ZERO seasoning (and this is coming from someone the shade of paper). Chips, salsa, and queso dip were all great however. The servers are always super friendly and fast, zero complaints on the service, just wish the food had flavor :/ read more

We've eaten here 4x since they have opened. Each time has been as good as the last or better. The guacamole is uniquely delicious and the Big Boss burrito and the Big Boss Quesadilla is a favorite especially with the generous portions of protein and flavor. The Mojarra Frita is far and away the best in the area, perfectly fried and has far more flavor than anywhere else. The Enchiladas Rancheras are beautifully presented as well as having the most perfectly flavored pork, also a generous portion! read more

This is my favorite Mexican spot in VB!!!!!!! My boyfriend and I come here almost once a week and we always order the queso dip and I always get the chipotle burrito. It never fails to satisfy! When people ask for a Mexican food restaurant, I immediately recommend big boss burritos! I am so excited for them to start serving margaritas so I can enjoy my massive huge delicious yummy burrito with a marg on the side! Keep bossin' big boss burritos! The servers are always so kind and refilling our salsa at a rapid pace, thankfully! The food is always warm and delicious and the vibes are immaculate! read more

Went with a friend Saturday afternoon food was amazing. Service was outstanding ! We had such a good time.

The owner came to our table to make sure we were happy, just nice people. Wish them the Best of Luck !! But the food was delicious read more

My first visit was today for my birthday. It was a party of 4, 3 of the 4 order burritos and I order quesadilla. The 3 burritos came out and no quesadilla. The other people at my table had finished half of their food before my plate even came. The actual quesadilla was greasy and the steak was not tender. The other members of my party enjoyed their meals. Also I thought tableside guacamole was made tableside not in the back and brought to the table. I waited months for them to finally open but I was greatly disappointed. read more

I'm glad my husband and I decided to share a burrito because it was HUGE! The taste of it was just a huge...we took our tastebuds for a ride. The service was above and beyond. The ambiance was festive and clean. We'd go again in a heartbeat when in the area next. read more

Food is bangin! They need to fix their website and they would be killing it in OV. Just go there, its worth it.

Absolutely, hands down, best fajitas I've ever had! Amazing staff ! Clean and wonderful TV & music!

The food was delicious. I can't speak to the ambiance, as we got carry out. Burritos and enchiladas were big and filling.

Went there last night for the first time . Food was fantastic! Service was wonderful. Sat outside, very clean . It's not cheap Mexican fare , but you get what you pay for . My carne asada tacos were LOADED with steak. I will definitely be back ! They say 1 more week for ABC license . read more

I got the fish tacos and we got queso and guacamole to share. I loved it. Will definitely come back. I'm sad to see a few bad reviews on here. My experience was great. read more

it's great. a great look, clean.. help was great friendly....i had take out two mixed fajitas. so good. packaged so well. thanks for a great restaurant Richard Rosser read more

Had a Popeyes burrito, it was lacking the taste and expectation of how it read on the menu. The burrito was very good size but had way too much juice kept running out the tortilla and made it very soggy. I would give the place a second chance as the taco and plates of food looked very well done. read more

Service was great and food was tasty. Outside seating area has been done well. Just waiting on their liquor license lol

For starters, the website prices were way off. They advertise burritos at $11 when they are really $18 and churros at $6 when they are $8. Beyond that, the food was like warm, mediocre taste and the burrito was poorly wrapped. It fell apart as soon as I picked it up. Even the free chips were stale. But they were free, so no complaining about that. read more
