Worth the detour off of I-75 when traveling through. Like a Mexican version of Subway as an article on the wall read, or, like Moe's like other reviewers said. I had the steak fajitas and it was a ton of food for only $8.99. They offer tofu which my 11 year old got in her burrito and my other daughter got a beef burrito and approved of. My vegetarian wife did not get the tofu but instead a black bean quesadilla and liked it a whole lot. Great food at good prices. Oh yeah, a very good salsa bar too! read more

Fast, quick, nice Got the fajitas butt with ground beef, cheese quesadilla with peppers and onions read more

Love the food here, similar to chipotle but in my opinion, tastes better here. It's a great spot if you're looking for "healthier" options downtown or in the Dalton area in general. So much space to sit down and eat as well. read more

Fantastic food and experience! Prices are reasonable. The burrito with spicy chicken was delicious. The queso and chips were great. Kids meal comes with a cookie and there were 6 flavors to choose from. Staff was super helpful and friendly. We sat outside and the tables were clean with plenty of napkins available. Definitely recommend! read more

I was led to this charming locale during a brief stopover in the quaint town of Dalton Georgia while on annual training (AT) with my reserve unit. The day we arrived followed several without decent food, including the dreaded MRE's! A group of roughly eight of us took a walk into town and stumbled upon this place while seeking out something tasty. The establishment was quite lively, with a line of roughly six people in front of us, but otherwise well managed amid a busy crowd. There are a variety of choices and an ample beer selection as well as margaritas. In addition to burritos, there are also tacos, salads, quesadillas, and tortilla chips that are served with your meal. If you want a little zest in your chest, there are numerous salsas from which to choose with varying levels intensity. Make you you know your scoville heat unit tolerance. Oh yes, the dedicated kitchen staff diligently prepare your order! I ordered the vegetarian burrito which came with beans, rice, lettuce, and avocado! It was really good and certainly filled me up! So, if you ever find yourself down in Dalton Georgia give this place a shot - you won't miss! read more

Loooovvveee it here. Wish it wasn't so good but glad it is. The portions are amazing!!! Way better than that chipotle in my opinion honestly bomb burritos!!! read more

The wife and I went here on a Sunday afternoon. It very much like a local Chipotle. You pick your tortilla shell, and pick the fillings you would like in the burrito. The restaurant was clean, and they were doing a great job at keeping it clean. When a table left, they had someone ready to clean it. Same with the bathrooms as well! The customer service was great as well. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I saw their cashier helping to run food to tables when the customers needed help! The food was likewise good. It wasn't amazing. But it's definitely solid. Will be looking forward to going back and trying more of it. read more

The portions are great, the food is soooo good and delivery was great. I love their food. Healthy, fresh, tasty and worth going back again for!! read more

Locally owned restaurant, which is better than any other chain restaurant IMO. My go to used to be the bowl or the kids burrito. Simply because it was that much food for the money which is awesome! The queso is so good! & lemon cookies are to die for :-) Only say "used to be" because I no longer work downtown and downtown dalton is super busy during lunch hours, so I will definitely have to go back for either the bowl or the cookies! read more

This is a great place for lunch in Downtown Dalton. I had a power bowl type lunch with meat, black beans, (no rice) and some veggies and it was all very good. They have done a great job with the interior here as well. read more

Good food, good folks. They have lots of salsas, and like most burrito places, you pick your ingredients. read more

It was okay. HUGE portions. Not cute, unique or healthy so it wasn't my cup of tea. If you like decent Americanized Mexican food, this is the place. Most meals range from $7-$10, plus additional for queso, avocado, more cheese and basically any other upgrade. read more

This is better than salsaritas or chipotle and other similar places. You're still far better going to an authentic place and getting a burrito, but if you can't this is an alternative. The meat and toppings are ok. The people are friendly and inviting. read more

When on a roadtrip with extra time, I try and avoid the fast food offerings around the highway exit and delve a little deeper into the small towns on my route to explore their local offerings. Buckin' Burrito in downtown Dalton was one such discovery. The concept is one you've experienced before at Moe's, Willy's or Chipotle, and the menu offerings and prices are pretty much the same. However, I found the flavors here really above par, particularly if you like your Tex-Mex spicy (which I do). Their pico de gallo and choices on the salsa bar were all much hotter and more flavorful than your run-of-the-mill burrito joint. Combine the tasty food with the beautiful storefront (complete with tin ceiling tiles) in the historic area, ample free street parking, their long hours on Sunday, and the self serve coca cola beverages, and Buckin' Burrito is a spot I'd return to when passing through the Dalton area. read more

Buckin' Burrito - "Regular" salad with grilled steak. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dalton, Georgia

This place was wonderful, cute little place. But food was delicious. Just found it by chance and gave it a try. Was very pleased.

Really good!!! Got the tacos and it was fresh and delicious. Chips were crisp and the salsa bar is awesome. Great atmosphere and the staff is wonderful! read more

When in downtown Dalton looking for a great place to eat, you can't go wrong going to see Stan at the Bucking Burrito. Since you get to see the ingredients and watch your meal being prepared, it's almost like you're making it at home, but it only takes 5 minutes. Great place for lunch if you want some good Tex Mex fast. read more

I've been looking forward to the opening of this restaurant for a few months now. Not only because I love seeing new restaurants open, but particularly because I love tex-mex style food. Needless to say, I had some high hopes. I can go ahead and assure you that the high hopes were met. This place is pretty fantastic. The location is a cozy spot in downtown Dalton. The interior has been painted and decorated to have a southwestern theme, very fitting for the joint. Upon walking in, I was surprised by the size of the place. It was much bigger on the inside that it was on the outside. The place has more than a few flat screens, with everything on from the weather to the Brave's game. The counter where you order was spotless, and the kitchen looked great too. Yes they just opened, but you could really tell they had standards to keep in their kitchen! I am glad I was with a group, because I could not decide on the menu. They have everything from burritos, to nachos, to tacos, to salads...but the place is called the Buckin' Burrito, so i went with a burrito. The procedure for ordering is standard tex mex, pick your item, your rice, your beans, meat and finally veggies. All the meats looked really good, even the non meant (tofu) had a wonderful look. I chose steak, and was not disappointed. As far as veggies, I went with guacamole and jalapenos. Here I was presented with a choice, pickled jalapenos or fresh. Oh boy were they fresh. Vibrant green and had a very nice crunch and quite a kick too! We also got a side of queso to go with our chips. It was also very good. We decided to sit outside because it was such a beautiful day, and not too hot yet. Even though we went at kind of an odd time, 7:45ish on a Monday night, it was pretty busy. When we left, even more people were walking in. This is a great palce to eat, it is very family friendly, good for a date, or good to watch a baseball game. The food is fresh, something thats getting harder and harder to find. The vibe of the restaurant is casual, the owner comes out to talk to tables and guests. It is a very a friendly place over all. Dalton needed a place like this, something simple and fresh. The normal fare to eat in this town is the giant chain restaurants like o'charleys, outback, and other "neighborhood bar and grilles", while places like this are real gems. read more

The restaurant is huge, with outdoor seating as well, and TV's on the walls. You walk through the line, tell your food creator what you want, and they make it in front of your eyes. Prices are cheap. The restaurant did have a funky mildew like smell that was off putting, but seemed to go away after awhile (or you just got used to it). The food was very much like Moe's--your typical TexMex combo. Moe's always tasted "clean" or not so heavy to me, and the same could be said here. It was good, but not great, with a funky smell. Overall,it made me miss Moe's in Dalton. :( read more

When I read Matt's review I was excited to try Buckin' Burrito and I was not dissappointed! It was wonderful. My whole family loves the Buckin' Burrito had have been back several times since our first visit. If I can't figure out where my husband is having lunch it's the first place I peak into and check to see if he is there. Yesterday and today that is EXACTLY where I found him. Today, since I am back on my diet I tried there regular salad with fish and I was amazed at how good and fresh the fish was. Once again very happy... but stay away from the chips they are addictive, as well as the pico! read more

Great food, never had a bad experience at this place. Always good service and there never seems to be any wait. If you like Mexican food and you're in the Dalton area, this is the place for you. read more

Just to update my review, they're closing early during the week, and apparently are closed on Sunday. Even though Yelp and their website says they're open. So if you're coming here it might be worthwhile to call ahead to see if they're open. Because they're posted ours do not match their hours. read more

On a road trip to Tennessee from Florida and was looking for places along the way to eat. We were going to wait until we hit Chattanooga but we were all to hungry. Found a place in Dalton but they were closed. We drove through downtown and the red umbrellas and happy faces coming out caught our attention. The restaurant is clean, service was friendly and the spin the wheel game before check out is fun. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I loved their ghost pepper mango salsa. I would definitely eat their again if I find myself in Dalton, GA. Great Job! read more

I LOVE the food at Buckin' Burrito. I've met the owner, and he is awesome, super friendly. We went there to eat tonight (02/16/2022) and were let down by the employees. My fiance has only eaten there one other time and he tried to ask questions such as: "can I see what the chipotle tortilla looks like?", "do you think this sauce would be too much on what I have now?" and the employees there either ignored him altogether or said "get whatever you want, man." I don't know what we did to make them hate their jobs tonight but everyone was extremely unfriendly, couldn't crack a smile, and wouldn't speak up so we kept having to ask them to repeat themselves (which made us feel awkward since they already huffing at everything we asked them.) Do yourself a favor and order online to avoid having to interact with the employees. Then you can also see the full arrange of toppings since none of them are listed anywhere in the restaurant. There are up-charged items such as corn salsa and sauteed peppers and onions that are amazing but unless you want to get attitude from an employee for asking questions, I wouldn't bother going in. For the record- I left a tip anyway. read more

I know I'm in dalton which is not really a big city, but still I shouldn't feel like there should be deer inside this place and hunters hanging from the ceiling. All the food Is like one big salt lick. Maybe it's done on purpose To sell more beer, I don't know. I would write more but I think I need to go take some more high blood pressure pills. read more

Buckin' Burrito - Just look at some of this salt - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dalton, Georgia

"What's in that?" I said pointing to the container nearest me on the other side of the glass. "Fish," says the burrito barista. Nice! I'll have that. Don't see that much in Northwest Georgia. What can I say. I'm adventurous. Tasty and Tilapia, almost for sure after I tried it a few times now, but no one who works here has confirmed that directly. Adequately spiced black and pinto beans round out the protein offerings. Omnipresent and relatively bland steak chicken pork and ground beef are presented to appease the West Daltonian class that primarily frequent this establishment. So this vegetarian and pescatarian friendly walk up burrito cantina in the image of chipotle also distinguishes itself from that national chain in that there are to my knowledge no recent poisoning or norovirus outbreaks associated with the buckin burrito food. There is a nice selection of veges on the bar including spinach which is fresh and free of charge and a goopy uninspired and bland fajita vegetable mix of peppers and onions the addition of which will provoke an auditory exchange behind the counter that culminates in an up charge at checkout. Tip: stick with the spinach and salsas offered gratis. It's fast, well spiced at least sticking to the fish and beans, beer and "all you dare drink" soda available, cleanish and fun atmosphere for Dalton. I'll be back. read more

Great food and fantastic service can be found at this little place tucked away in downtown Dalton. The style is "Build you own". You choose the device that transports the ingredients (Burrito, quesadilla, tacos, etc) then choose from all wonderful and super yum yum fillers ( chicken, steak, cheese, pico, lettuce sand even Tofu amongst others ). They have a little salsa bar with a few salsas as well. I got a burrito supreme and it was wonderful. The young lady building my masterpiece was attentive, polite and quick. The premises are very well taken care of and the bathrooms are spotless. All in all I had a wonderful experience eat Bucking Burrito and plan on revisiting next time I'm in Dalton. read more

This place is the epitome of hit or miss. Last time we came here, it was great. The time before that was mediocre. Tonight is absolutely gross. I ordered nachos, nothing fancy, but if you ask for just a small amount of sour cream, then the price is almost $10. Aside from that, I requested a refund because it was gross. The cheese was grainy and not even warm, much less hot. I talked to the manager, and instead of asking if he could make new one, he asked to reheat it. I do not fancy microwaved nachos. My wife and brother seem to be satisfied with their burritos, but the problem with burritos is that the meat is hot, and the rest is cold. So it's like eating a half frozen burrito that wasn't fully cooked in a microwave. If I wanted that, I would buy a cheap burrito from Kroger instead of forking out $7-10. The good part: the woman who is running the check out was very friendly and apologetic, despite it not being her problem. That's why this is 2 star instead of 1. In closing, I will not be returning for a while, if ever. read more

I love using Yelp! when we are traveling. That's how we found The Buckin' Burrito in Dalton. It's kind if like Moe's or Chipotle, but with a more hometown, personal feel. We ate outside at the sidewalk seating and enjoyed the view of the old downtown. The food was very good, but I do wish they had a hotter salsa. I noticed that they must have 25+ different types of beer to choose from. I'm glad we stopped here - it was a great find. read more

I enjoyed putting what I wanted on quesadilla. I use a little salt but my chicken was way to salty. Salsa and guacamole were good. Friendly people behind the counter. read more

This place is similar to a Moe's or Salsaritas as you order the food and they make it in front of you. Although, I do think the prices here are slightly better than both of those places. I got the two tacos, chicken and a steak. Both great! read more

Great food. Great quality. Ownership who is engaged every day and you will notice. 5 plus stars!!

Great food and service!! Nachos are my pick to order! Great management and enjoy the atmosphere!

I recently moved to the Dalton area and was going through some serious Chipotle's withdrawals until I found this place. The burritos are delicious, the service is friendly, and the salsa kicks butt. Definitely my favorite spot to eat in Dalton. read more

It was a quick and the food was okay but the service was very poor and the young lady assisting us with our order had a piss poor attitude.

Excellent food. Not gonna lie, I picked his place strictly on the name and logo, but it was delicious. A small salsa bar is available. It's mostly reminiscent of Moe's, but nevertheless, great, quick and a very pleasant staff read more
