Despite the veritable assault on the city in recent years, one burrito bar has reigned supreme throughout...Boojum. I eat here A LOT and am currently a couple of stamps short of a "Boojum Addict" t shirt. The only time I have ever had a bad experience here, it has been down to my own glutinous ordering, resulting in the fat burrito giving way. Always packed. They keep the ingredients fresh and the line long. I'm a divil for the chicken with pinto, guac and jalapenos. Loco. read more

YUM. I love burritos and boojum makes a good one. It's bar style so you choose exactly what you want to get in your burrito/bowl/fajita/taco. The employees work quickly so although there's typically a line, it moves fast. Prices are good, especially considering the size of the burrito you get! Big, filling, and tasty. And if you're a student with a student ID, you get a discount! That's always a bonus. read more

Burrito restaurants are opening up left, right and centre but I am, and always will be, a loyal Boojum girl. They are most definitely my favourite burrito place- I've yet to have a bad one! The flavoured rice really makes all the difference. Personally I usually go for the Bowl option (Top tip- they can fit in more food which is so worth it on a student budget!). My favourite option is Mexican rice, pinto beans, chicken and of course guacamole! A but extra but without a doubt an essential! Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Good burritos and very friendly staff. It's a pleasure when you go to a place were all the staff have a smile in their face! I don't know other mexican restaurants in Dublin, so I can't say if they are the best mexican place in Dublin, but coming from abroad I have to say that it is not the best burrito I've ever tried. What I don't like is that the place looks like a regular fast food place, without anything to highlight. Also, I have to mention that although I wanted to go back again, it was always full of people, with a long queue outside. No need to wait that much. What a pity! read more

Oojum boojum! Stuffed burritos so huge they'd put fat on a skeleton! A quick search for Dublin restaurants led me to Boojum. Service was fast, decisions were easy. I went with the chili con carne, black beans, cheese, corn, spicy salsa. Quick, easy, and good. Turned on same Game of Thrones Season 3 and lit up the burrito with my own savagery. read more

Boojum - Chicken burrito - Mexican Near Me - North City, D

Went here twice on my trip to Dublin because I missed eating Chipotle back home! Wasn't as good as Chipotle, but it definitely filled the cravings. I always get the Barbacoa, but nobody knows about that stuff in Dublin so they always get Steak. Both times I got it with the Root Beer to go. Good stuff! Keep spreading the word about Mexican food around Europe! read more

Boojum - Mexican Near Me - North City, D

Consistently the best burrito in Dublin, certainly from any dedicated burrito spot. The ingredients are fresh. Good selection of fillings and beers and other drinks. The burrito bowl is two meals really, just huge. As usual with Irish burritos they are massive which is no correct but they do a better job of rolling them than a lot of places and they are never too soggy so they hold together well. Lovely staff usually and good music. read more

I created this account to poo-poo another establishment (to remain unnamed) but felt I should even up my Karma by waxing lyrical about another! And what better establishment for this treatment than Boojum? I lost six stone in 6 months eating here 3 lunches a week. True story! (There were obviously other elements but I give credit where credit's due) Greatest, most friendly staff in the world. Always good for a chat (especially about Hot Sauce). And I'm not saying their food has magic powers, but I swear I once saw a unicorn in the kitchen! Okay, so that's not entirely true. But it would not surprise me! Please never change! read more

Chipotle Dublin Craving Mexican? Come here. Guac spot satisfied Despite the name "Boojum" conjuring up images of some sort of hard core thai/asian cuisine, this place is a-ok for realz. In fact, this place was my Mexican food savior at the time of consumption. As one would expect, there aren't a lot of choices for Mexican around the UK and Ireland. But If you're an American craving a half-decent burrito and some super guac: Boojum is the burrito haven. Details: chips were a little too salty. Salsa/Pico/burrito fillings were not salty enough. Satisfied my craving, but European mexican really needs to step it up, and Boojum is only a start. Guacamole, I will say it again: Perfect. Frozen Margarita's looked good, nice selection of beers and beverages, good prices--A TON OF FOOD. The bf and I split ONE burrito bowl and chips and guac and couldn't finish it. That's less the 10 Euro folks to feed two. Would def go back for future cravings. Beggars can't be choosers people. read more

(Yelp's Burrito Blow Out Stop #9, we're almost there!) If you're walking down the Millennium Walkway towards the Quays and you see a queue coming out of one of the doors, that's probably Boojum. And if there's a queue there's a reason, in this case it's because Boojum is fairly popular among students and their burritos are quite tasty. I wasn't too happy with the queue or the noisy, packed room inside and, to make matters worse, they don't take credit cards which only adds to the fussy experience. The burrito was nice enough, the highlights for me were the presentation, spice factor and tastiness of the sauce. On the other hand, the dispersion of ingredients was terrible, all my rice was at the top and the meat at the bottom, with everything else stranded halfway. But all in all it was a quite decent burrito. They have a selection of drinks, ranging from sodas to ginger beer, which you can pick up from a fridge before ordering your burrito at the counter. If you end up craving for a burrito in a warm sunny day, their outdoor seating area may just be the place you're looking for. My ratings were 3.6 for the restaurant and 3.5 for the burrito. read more

Oh Boojum, Boojum Boojum. I've been a loyal fan since day one and when I'm not brown bagging it I come to you for a delicious burrito or fajita. But lately your standards are slipping :-( The past couple of times that I've come in, the staff, while still friendly, have been very stingy with the vegetables and rice. What the heck? These are onions and peppers and rice. Not caviar and Jerusalem artichokes. And the second last time I was there, I spent the extra cash for guacamole, which you make so well I must add, but got a tiny little dollop. I'm sorry, I had to say it. Other than that, my steak fajita was divine and I like the new Mexican rice. Even despite the small(er) serving. read more

I am not a huge fan of burritos, and when I went there with my friend I was worried to get the same super duper stuffed burrito that makes me sick to death. I couldn't be more wrong! The place is very nice for a quick bite and the guys are very friendly. I took a fajita with chicken and it was DIVINE! the taste of the lime and the coriander was something amazing. Can I give you an advice? take one away if you can because it is much better to eat it at home where nobody can see your post-devouring stains all around your face :D read more

Ordered a burrito bowl with Mexican flavored rice, fajitas for an extra 50 cents, black beans, and marinated chicken with tomato and chili salsa and lettuce. DELICIOUS and cured my growing chipotle cravings like crazy. The meat was so juicy and in really big chunks where the meat will melt in your mouth in its marinated goodness. And that rice? OH SO GOOD AND WARM and seasoned. So fresh and for a huge portion with the additions and student discount = 6.25 euros. Doesn't get any better than that! read more

Oh baby! Boojum is amazing! Best mehican joint in Dublin bar none! Plumped for a bowl, fajita chicken, rice beans, salsa and cheese it's incredible! Went at lunch time so they were flat out but queue moves very quickly and how nice are the staff! Go! Only negative is the choices are a wee bit limited and a veteran from the home of Mexican food the US of A might not be blown away but I feckin was read more

Great local burrito place, very popular, with the people queuing outside. Their shredded beef burritos are the best. I first came across Boojum in Belfast and I was happy to learn we have it in Dublin too. But..The place is always busy during lunch and it takes ages to get your food. I don't see owners addressing this in any way which is sad. Burrito really should be food on the go. read more

The only thing that would make this place better is more seats!... The best thing ever is appearing and there isn't a queue!... Which I'm pretty sure has only happened me once in my MANY boojum excursions.... Just make sure you've cash as they don't accept anything else, and after waiting in the queue... You'll be disappointed if you can't get anything as the smell alone is enough to make you hungry! read more

Nice spot for a burrito and a beer - they have negro modelo which I like. Food is fresh and delicious. Place is clean which is great. Helpings are generous. Again menus could be a little more extensive maybe they could ad things like nachos and quesadillas. Nice place with a quirky atmosphere. read more

This place is right beside my work and these are seriously the best burritos and burrito bowls in town. Plus I still have a student card making it ridiculously reasonable. The staff are really sound and friendly too. Highly recommend this place. Good luck getting a seat! read more

Always bustling. There's a reason too! Burritos that always keep you coming back. Barbacoa (Shredded Beef ) is my choice, black beans and mild salsa, don't forget the extra Guac! Only downside can be lack of seating when busy! read more

People at the counter mix up the orders quite often. I rearely get to eat what i order. Not going back. Shame. read more

Dat portion size doe. Really friendly staff and great burritos. The place can be a little crowded though, and the waiting times can be excessive. Shows the quality of the place but I fear they're keeping people from trying the best burritos in Dublin! read more

One word: BooYUM. I became *involved* with burritos after my first trip to Boojum. The staff are a certain Dublin breed of 'hipster' and we're all cool with that, they make burritos like the craft it should be. Decent price, excellent food. Always busy. read more

Honestly I dunno how I could ever say a bad word about Boojum. I love this place more than life itself. Well ok, maybe not more than life itself, but more than many other eh.. places to eat in town. This is for a few reasons: 1. Staff often make or break a place, and in this case, they most certainly make it. They all look happy to work there, always have a smile on their faces, are efficient but super friendly, and are just generally enjoying themselves, which transfers tenfold to the customer experience. 2. The food is so good. Piping hot, excellent quality, and absolutely ridiculously large servings of everything. I think this is one of the main differentiating point with other burrito places - it is extremely hard to finish a burrito or burrito bowl in particular from Boojum. They're that big. But still so tasty. Mmmmm taaasstyyyyy. The only thing I would say that maybe these guys don't have, are different fillings from the norm for their burritos. Eg. the sweet potato of Little Ass, or the feta option in Pablo's. BUT, people don't always want that, so that's not necessarily a bad thing. 3. Atmosphere. This place is always bustling with interesting people and good vibes. There are lots of seats outside as well as inside, and the turnover on them is pretty quick, so it's rare you'd be stuck with nowhere to park yourself. So, on the Burrito Blowout scale: Restaurant 4 Atmosphere 5 Service 5 Menu variety 3 Value 5 Location 5 Burrito 5 Tortilla 4 Meat 4 Sauce 4 Spice factor 4 Stay togetherness 4 Presentation 4 Portion Size 5 Dispersion of ingredients 4 read more

My friend: 'We need to get there for 10 before 12. Actually, to be safe, quarter to 12.' Me: 'Why? It only opens at 12...' *Get there for 11:45 and notice the 20 people outside of the restaurant, waiting for it to open.* Me: '...Oh.' Being from Southern California, I've been searching Europe high and low for an authentic burrito that doesn't cost as though it's made from gold (sorry, London, no burrito is worth £12). While Boojum isn't necessarily super authentic, it is filling, fast, and cheap (I reserve this phrase for places which REALLY deserve it - see my review of Brick Lane Beigel Bake in London), and hecka tasty. At Boojum, you choose a vessel (white or wheat flour tortilla, corn tortillas for tacos, burrito bowl sans tortilla, or salad leaves), two different kinds of rice (Mexican tomato rice or lime coriander rice), a protein (shredded beef, pork, chicken, black or pinto beans and/or fajita veg), and amongst a huge variety of toppings (salsas galore, corn, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, a few different types of salad dressings, pickled jalapenos, etc). Whatever you get (except for maybe the tacos), the portions are positively enormous (but that didn't stop me from finishing my burrito to the last grain of rice). This 'burrito bar,' MexiWestern concept is not a new one (hello, Chipotle), but Boojum provides a fresh and independent take on the food from big chains. What's more, there were about 12 bottles of different hot sauces smattered around each table, so naturally, each of my bites of burrito had a different flavour and level of spiciness...I had to try them all. All in all, this mom-and-pop shop (literally, it's owned by a couple and only has three locations - two in Belfast and one in Dublin) totally lives up to its hype, and was worth waiting 15 minutes for out in the Dublin cold. I'd probably wait even longer, to be honest, and brave the INSANE lunch rush that ensued just 10 minutes after we had sit down to try our burrito. And at €5.25 for a burrito that weighed as much as a small child (with a student discount, not that they even checked my student card to enforce it), I will most certainly return each and every time I'm in Dublin. PS: CASH ONLY read more

Late afternoon on a looong day.. we decided to stop into Boojum for a quick meal before heading to evening meetings. Ordered our standard crispy tacos with a mix of shredded beef and shredded pork with all the great salsas (tomato, + verde) and extra guacamole! This place is ALWAYS packed at meal times, but we found a couple of spots to relax and enjoy the great food. It's maybe not "classic" Southwestern or SoCal. mexican food (and def not Tex-Mex; nor aspiring to be.) But Boojum is GREAT in its own right. Delicious, quick, and actually good value in a relaxed atmosphere! We just keep coming back..and inviting others. read more

The historical attraction of Mexican food is writ large in history: the Spanish Conquest of the new world, led by such luminaries as Pizzaro, Fernando Torres and Dora the Explorer was prompted by a refried beans shortage that afflicted much of Renaissance Europe; Leon Trotsky's flight to Mexico City was not so much to flee his erstwhile colleague-in-arms Stalin as a damning indictment of years-long wait for Carne Asada that characterised the bureaucratic stasis of the Soviet economic System; and the Asiatic homeland of the original settlers to the territory now known as Mexico is not now and never has been noted for naturally abundant Salsa Verde. I may have only got a D at Ordinary Level for History in the Junior Cert, but I consider myself an authority on the paucity of decent Mexican food options in Dublin. Having come home for a semester in Chicago this time last year, this much was clear; if only this place had come into being a year earlier, all of the withdrawal symptoms could have been avoided... ...but now it is here, and after three visits in a week I have yet to find a fault. Maybe its because I'm still in the honeymoon period with this curiously-named establishment. It's certainly not the same as the places I frequented in Chicago; no pictures of Jesus and/or Mary on the walls, and proficiency in English among staff appears to be a pre-requisite rather than an added bonus here. Prices are as good as you can hope for in Dublin, the staff are friendly, there's seating inside and outside, and it's a welcome addition to the Quartier Bloom/Millennium Walkway axis. If only they'd open on Sundays and Bank Holidays, I'd be lobbying the arbiters of all things yelp to allow me award a sixth star. read more

Fabulous food. The meats were well flavored!! Excellent customer service!! Definitely would recommend!! Cash only though so make sure you stop by the ATM. read more

went back today & got the chicken w/ the hot salsa + extra jalapenos. i think i've found the perfect combo so i'm adding a star. plus actually going there in person, i discovered the staff is really cool and friendly which is always a bonus. NOM NOM NOM :) read more

I have been in Ireland for two months now and I have loved everything about this place, the only thing missing from my life is mexican food. Growing up in southern California mexican food has basically been a staple food group of mine for years. I found this place on Yelp and thought I would give it a try. I was not disappointed! This style of this place is very similar to a favorite place of mine in the states, Chipotle, so I instantly felt right at home. They allow you to pick everything you want in your burrito which I love (Carnitas were amazing!). They also have a student deal: burrito and can of soda for 6 euro, great deal for a starving college student if you ask me! I got the salsa roja which is pretty spicy so be careful if you're not a big spice fan, but I enjoyed it. read more

THE place for Mexican food in Dublin. I worked with Boojum for a college society and they were wonderfully generous; so certainly a business with decent corporate social responsibility if that matters to you. In any case - you'll see their generosity first-hand with the size of their portions, easily the biggest and best in the city! The burrito bowl is a personal favourite. Their meat is marinated to perfection. Utterly excellent place all-round. read more

I had eaten at Boojum in Belfast and was delighted to see them open up in Dublin. This is by far the best Mexican food in Dublin - and trust me, I've been to every "Mexican" restaurant / food stand! The ingredients for the most part are flavored right (minus the white rice) and the menu is simple enough that it's easy to build the perfect burrito, taco, etc. The homemade Guacamole is delicious - it's just a pity that you have to pay extra for it. read more

My fella often bring me burritos from there on his way home from work! The last time I was there, there was a long queue - the staff there are really friendly but it was a bit awkward for me as a deafie because the hot bowls do not have names beside so I would have to ask them what it is - I am not always great at lipreading so I don't want to delay the service on something simple. Only if they can get to learn how to fingerspell in Irish Sign Language i.e. fingerspell the first letter of each word and mouth the word (which would help us lipread better). read more

Wow. This place is far better than ANY burrito place I have been to lately in Dublin. Their portions and quality just knock out all other competition. I am sick of going to places like Tolteca and being charged €1 for a tablespoon amount of guacamole! Boojum charges 75 cents and gives you about a half a cup. And the ample servings don't end there, they gave me an awesome amount of barbacoa which I haven't been getting at other chains...Long story short, they DO NOT RIP YOU OFF HERE! All the other places could def take a page from Boojum's book! Customer for life right here! read more

As a burrito lover Boojum is as good as it gets! One of the only places in Dublin with two pretty great flavors of rice. Of course guacamole is an absolute most- well worth the extra charge. Only complaint is the massive queue outside each lunch time. Well worth a trip! read more

I'm a man who has frequented enough sweaty smelly bars in my day to know when I don't want to visit one for dinner. When in Ireland it seems that it is almost all that is available. Luckily, there seem to be a few fast-casual joints on the Emerald Isle where you can grab a bite without your shoes sticking to the floor. Boojum is one of these places. Developed in the traditional mold of your XL American burrito joint, Boojum offers burritos, nachos and quesadillas for a moderate price. Better yet, the place across the street sells beer. So get a giant burrito, buy a pint of Guinness and eat it on the patio. Note: this may be hard to get to even if you aren't drunk as an Irishman. The entrance isn't exactly on a main road and the restaurant is part of more of a courtyard. It can be a bit confusing. Ask a local if you need help. read more

Scared to try any other burrito joint in Dublin as I love Boojum. Nice setup. Secluded. Great food and student deal.

Boojum has been like a second home for me but the last few times I've gone I have noticed that their chicken was very watery and fatty.. I am not sure if they have changed something or have gone with a cheaper supplier but I've definitely noticed a difference in quality. read more

Chipotle's sister? Same concept but more options. You choose your base of rice or salad or tacos or fajita. Meat and toppings. The flavors are there and salsa sauces are on point. The portion is really huge especially the burrito bowls. A lot of cheese I would come back read more
