Let me start off by telling you: this, my friends, is the go-to place for anything! As a college student, coming home to Springfield is a good time to start reconnecting with friends and my friends and I are always willing to dine here. One of my friends would eat here almost 3x a week and I remember coming to a point during high school where 3x a week was a routine. My favorite order is a grande BBQ chicken burrito. I have gotten the fish tacos and BBQ chicken quesadilla before and those are really good too but nothing compares to a good ole BBQ chicken burrito. Bueno's burritos are BIG and when you pay just 50 cents more, your burrito basically evolves. I come here all the time with my friends and my boyfriend and I have probably eaten here at least 50 times in the past year. In the past couple of weeks alone, I have probably visited around 10 times. I cannot recommend this place enough. It's so good, reasonably priced, big portions, and great people. Can't get any better than that! read more

Bueno y Sano - Grande BBQ chicken burrito! So good! Comes with: yellow rice, black beans, BBQ chicken pieces, lettuce, pico de gallo, shredded cheese. - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Massachusetts

Before I start the review, I think it's important to ask about what's good about a burrito joint? In my opinion, a good burrito place has to have: 1) Great and efficient service 2) New and exciting new burrito choices 3) Fresh ingredients 4) Great parking 5) and most importantly, fresh guacamole! If you value these points, then stop reading this review and go grab a grande pulled pork burrito now! They make everything fresh for you and you can enjoy a piping fresh burrito in less than 5 minutes! My only beef (haha) is that the restaurant is in the middle of nowhere, but it still hasn't stopped me from driving 20 minutes everytime to get great Mexican food here. read more

Really good take out Mexican. Fresh ingredients and menu has a little bit of everything. Have ordered burritos, chips and guac, GF tacos... All really good. The only thing I wish they had for the kids was beef tacos. For whatever reason, my kids only want beef and cheese in their tacos. Oh well. read more

Bueno y Sano - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Massachusetts

This place absolutely deserves all five stars! This hidden gem is my favorite restaurant around the Springfield area. The food is healthy, delicious and certainly feels homemade. Try everything! read more

The Springfield area has a lot of places to get burritos but Bueno y Sano is the best I've been to so far. Their burritos are very well made and wrapped, and they have plenty of ingredients that would satisfy most people. They even have tofu and seitan, amazingly. I would say the only thing keeping me from giving them five stars is that they don't give tortilla chips, which isn't a knock on them as much as it is praise for Moe's (chain; closest location: Enfield, CT) but ByS makes a much more appetizing and seemingly healthier burrito. (Update 12/18/2013: Despite being slightly more expensive, Bueno y Sano has replaced Moe's as my go-to burrito joint. Their food just tastes better! A fifth star for consistency and excellence!) read more

11-27-2013 Update: Bueno Y Sano reached out about the offer a while back via Yelp. I just found their message and they responded favorably. I'll be back very soon. Always great food... read more

Standard Tex-Mex fare that you would expect from a franchise. Service is quick and food is quality but prices are slightly high.

If you want good "Mexican Food", Bueno Y Sano is the place to go. I have eaten at the original shop in Amherst and was thinking back on the Steak Burrito w/ sour cream and guacamole that I enjoyed on my last visit. Helene and I decided to go to the Springfield Ma location. I have had a craving for a good Burrito for a while. I was ready to order a Steak Burrito again but at the counter we decided to try a little of everything and went with soft tacos instead. We ordered four different tacos and split them in order to try a bit of everything. The first one we tried was the BBQ Chicken. I don't know what type of BBQ sauce they're using but the flavor is amazing. It was not overpowering and has now become my new favorite. The next was the BBQ Pulled Pork, It has a rich Smokey flavor that is fantastic. Helene liked that one the best. That for me was a surprise as she always seems to favor chicken. We then tried the Steak and a Chicken which were also good. I have had many good Tacos and Burritos in my travels visiting the family in Southern California and Texas and Oklahoma. The reality of the food here is it's not even close to the West Coast or Southwest style of Mexican Food but it is real good for what it is. The varieties of Burrito, Tacos and Quesadillas are impressive and the Burrito itself is huge. It made me think that if they started to produce them a bit smaller like sliders, the customer could order different ones like a sampler and how great could that be? Hello anyone listening? They also serve Salads, and grilled Jalapenos. The downsides: Average price for a Burrito is $ 7.50 which is more than any of the other places I have ever visited. On the go with........ http://www.gooddiggin.com read more

This place is cheap, nutritious and delicious :) I ordered the Garlic & Tomato slice burrito. The burrito was huge and wasn't even considered the "Grande" version you can get for 50 cents more. They really load the beans on so if you're not a fan, request light beans or no beans. The medium sauce was hotter than I expected, too. A great experience. For 15 dollars my boyfriend and I received a bottle of water, a HUGE burrito and a (Also very large) quesadilla. read more

this is a smaller Chipotle type chain. they have a pretty similar menu as well as the prices. i guess one upside to Chipotle is you get to ask for double portion of certain sides whereas here they just make it and call your number when it's ready. it's not on the menu but you can ask for a bowl. their food was pretty good but the beef was dry and salty. the place got an interior update judging by the older pics on yelp. it looks nice and can hold about 25 people. the tables are fixed to the ground so you can't move them around. it's not my favorite place but i would recommend it. read more

So good! We stopped in our way home to Connecticut and i didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the sauteed spinach and garlic quesadilla and it was delicious! Plenty of food, couldn't finish it all. read more

Simply put, these are the BEST burritos in the world! My friends and I would regularly visit Bueno y Sano when I was a student at UMass in the '90's, and it's still the highlight of my trips to the Happy Valley. As a matter of fact, I always make sure to bring extra burritos home with me to CT so I can freeze them. Everyone I've brought with me to Bueno y Sano has been more than impressed, and I'm sure that you will be, too! The Amherst restaurant has the most wonderful atmosphere, and I'm thrilled to see that the disco ball is still turning! :D ( Btw, my personal favorite is the portabella! :) read more

Very good fast food mexican made to order and very fresh.. I have ate there 2 times and both times had burritos , pulled pork and chicken .. both were very good. priced right and better than chipollties.. I would say about 4 1/2 stars because Mi terra is the best for mexican for me. Great lunch spot or a quick dinner location .. Parking is a little tight but have not been there when they have been busy. read more

Ordered a chicken burrito for me and pulled pork burrito bowl for my daughter. I had never tried a burrito before and it was awesome. The flavors were wonderful and everything was very fresh. It was so good we went back again and the food was awesome again. read more

One of the best tacos in town! Super fast and made to order. Only thing is whoever takes our orders on the phone is rude. She always sounds grumpy & has no manners. I'd rather go to the west springfield location but this one is closer to home. read more

Legit hidden gem. Fast but excellent. I can't believe how good this is. Salsas are tasty, the bean, steak and pork tacos excellent and my kids said the burritos awesome. Stopped here after leaving six flags and couldn't be happier for good food after a long day and only waited about four minutes with tired, hungry kids. read more

My 5 year old Princess and I decided on Bueno for lunch today. We have been to the Amherst and Northampton locations, this was our first visit to the Springfield Bueno. This place is no frills, not nearly as decorated as the No'Ho one. There are a few tables and chairs set up inside and a few with umbrellas outside, but as you take your first bite of your burrito, the surroundings are of no issue. The tortillas are to die for, the freshest I have ever tasted. The fillings are fresh, clearly not from a bag, and perfectly put together. My favorite is the bbq chicken burrito with everything on it... The Princess orders the chicken taco. She was horrified that I didn't order her rice and beans. We took an order to go, $1.25 each, how can you beat that?!? And she is finishing it off as I type. Go to Bueno, you won't be sorry. It really IS Good & Healthy. read more

I haven't been here in a while, and used to frequent the West Springfield location to much acclaim, but I have to say my order a few days back took a step back. My wife and I split two burritos, a steak standard burrito and my favorite- the El Salvadorean Chicken Burrito. The steak burrito was as expected, but the ESCB was pretty bad. The zucchini and peppers were hard and not cooked through as usual, which made the burrito not great in "burrito form". Either they changed the recipe or whomever cooked them didn't cook the veggies long enough. I salvaged the guts and basically cooked them more and made a rice dish for dinner, but nonetheless was left disappointed. I am hoping this was just a one time misstep. read more

Nothing but great food, here. Authentic, tasty, and fast. Great service. Nice job. read more

Inexpensive, good, and filling. Supposedly "sano" (healthy,) although I can't vouch for that because I always get the quesadillas. BBQ chicken here is amazing!! The burritos are big enough for two portions. read more

Best place to get a burrito I'm in love with this place. Food is always fresh and hot very affordable. My favorite burrito is the grande chicken burrito with sour cream hand extra Pico sauce :) read more

Bueno y Sano - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Massachusetts

Best Burritos in Western Mass! The menu has a ton of delicious options and there's always new specials to try. You can eat in, but the dining area isn't anything special. I typically carry-out, which I believe most patrons do as well. read more

The food was very good. I have posted pictures of my bbq chicken quesadilla and the burrito my husband ordered. The restaurant is no frills, no real atmosphere, almost like a pizza joint where you'd grab a slice and sit down. The woman i ordered from was not overtly friendly. I asked her what was a good menu item that seems to be popular, she looked at me like i just walked in naked. Not very helpful. Anyway, if you're coming in for food, i guess that's what it's all about. Just know you'll have to decide what to eat by yourself without help from the staff. It was not very busy while we were there. read more

My previous review was taken down for some reason. Must've been a matter of semantics. So here is my second attempt. The food is really mediocre. Very little flavor and all items on my taco plate were overcooked. Also the guacamole portion size is egregious. I'm came here under the recommendation of Kieran, my son's karate instructor and my wife's lover. I now realize his recommendation to eat here is the second dirty trick he has pulled on me. The first being how he stole my family :(. read more

Although I used to frequent the restaurant in Northampton, I am so glad there are more franchises opening up, that way I don't have to travel to another city to take care of taco cravings. Believe when I say, "the food here is addictive and delicious". I would not want to go a single month without brisket tacos. They have a lot of options and the serving sizes are pretty decent. I highly recommend the tomatillo sauce. I only wish the house hot sauce was actually hot. The spices are mild and the balance of flavor is bold. Oh yeah... and they have some of the fastest and most efficient service I have ever seen and the staff are nice. read more

The Good - convenient parking (don't have to find a spot on the street for example); friendly staff; food overall good. The Bad - no queso; thought it was more of a restaurant but is actually more similar to fast food. Price for a burrito (about $7.50) and what you get wasn't that good portion wise. The Ugly - I ordered horchata and it was the most gritty poorly made horchata I've ever tasted. I had maybe 2 sips and threw the rest away. :-( read more

I was excited to visit Bueno Y Sano after visiting the Amherst location while on vacation last year and loving it. I was a little disappointed in the steak burrito, it has very little flavor. The stuffed peppers were very hot, cream cheese was bland also. On the other hand, the buffalo chicken burrito was phenomenal! Service was quick, food was hot and presented nicely. I'd visit again and stick with buffalo chicken, either the burrito or quesadilla. read more

The food here is pretty good (most of the time) however the customer service is atrocious. Would give them a 3 star but service and inconsistency brings it way down. Every time we pickup our order we have to go check the bag to see what they forgot this time. We have tried to support them during this difficult tome of COVID, but I think it is officially time to give up as they messed up 3/4 of our past orders. Their app is also useless, I do not recommend! read more

I was not a fan. Came here on recommendation from some friends who swore this place was better than Chipotle. No. Just no. I'm sorry. I got the bean burrito and I just didn't like the taste. The guacamole was also a disappointment. Everything was, for lack of a better word bland I can't quite place it. I think people should try for themselves but I won't be coming back again. read more

Really good food at s great price. Location it a bit out of the way but worth the trip.

Love that place ! Food is consistent! Friendly service fresh ingredients I get their east west bowl yummy

Decent burritos nothing special . I guess coming from CA I have I high expectations. Cashier didn't seem friendly either. Salsas were not hot at all. This place shouldn't be categorized as Mexican food, not mexican at all. read more

My hubs really likes this place, if he's on his own for lunch/dinner it is his go-to. I agree that the burritos are really good. I don't know if the beans and rice are really worth it, but the food in general tastes fresh and like it is seasoned well. Definitely a good value, and quick service. read more

At last! A decent Mexican restaurant in New England! I ordered take-out from this location a few days ago. Ambiance: -"basic" small restaurant set up: lots of tables with uncomfortable chairs and sparse decor -clean and well kept -definitely not "take your date here" material, but great for a quick bite to eat, or take-out Staff: -ordering over the phone was a breeze, but a little bit difficult to hear/understand -take-out was ready in 10 minutes -by the time I had gotten to the restaurant (8:30PM), the salsa station had already been broken down and it looked like they were closing, even though their hours are til 9PM. I don't like feeling rushed, especially if I'm dining in and hope that this was just a fluke. -not sure if there's waiter/table service, I'm pretty sure you just order at the front and pick up your food as your name is called. Food: -I ordered two chicken burritos (one poquito for 50 cents less; or you can get one made extra large for 50 cents more), and an order of grilled jalepenos. The total came to around $17. -both me and my fiance were pleasantly surprised at the size of the burritos (similar to Chipotle's) and the quality of the ingredients therein: grilled chicken, black beans, mexi-rice, pico de gallo, lettuce, and salsa. We had them throw in a couple of extra containers of "hot" salsa, and while it wasn't blistering, it definitely put out some heat. Burritos got a solid 4 stars. The chicken was a little dry, but that's about it. Awesome tortillas. -the grilled jalepenos were disappointing. They were not quite cooked all the way through (relatively crunchy) and the only spicy bite was the very tip of the pepper. The cream cheese filling left something to be desired: no seasoning, no flavor whatsoever. I'd skip these even though they were relatively inexpensive (~$3 for 3 peppers over rice). I'll hit up Bueno y Sano anytime I get a craving for Mexican food. It's not the most authentic place I've ever seen, but it does put out a pretty good product. Especially for those who are vegan or vegetarian, this place does veggies justice! The grilled zucchini (with added mushrooms) burrito has my name on it! read more

I ordered from Bueno occasionally during law school if I anticipated a long night in the library, because with the exception of this local Mexican chain, there aren't many decent take-out options in the Sixteen Acres/Sumner Ave area. It was a great standby, because the prices are super reasonable, and there are a lot of standard (bean) as well as slightly-off-the-beaten-path (chickpea and red curry) burritos to choose from. (They also sell tacos and quesadillas.) My husband and I stopped by for a quick dinner when we were in the area recently, and found that nothing has changed-- and in this case, that's a good thing! Ingredients are fresh, service is friendly and quick, and the burritos are some of the best around. read more

My go to place for anything burrito or quesadilla like, become a regular and you won't even have to order, they just know, great service, best gauc around just eat it quickly cause it turns brown fast, compare to tbell that stays green for days, gross! Fresh, fresh, fresh! Awesome food! read more
