Mediocre. More expensive than Osmows, and more expensive than Chipotle. Both of which are far better. Honestly expected more from this place but it tastes so bland. read more

I decided a long time ago that burritos are one of my favorite foods, so if I'm near a burrito joint, I'll pop in and get something. I happened to be in the area for a concert, so I decided to stop into Burrito Bandidos for a quick meal. I ordered a small steak burrito and got it with all the fixins. It was ready maybe ten minutes later and when I asked for a glass of water, I was told they don't "have any glasses." You don't have any glasses? At all? Okay, sure. Now I was wishing I hadn't left a tip. Anyway, I started eating and the whole thing began to fall apart after just a couple of bites. I was forced to eat most of it with a fork. Pretty annoying. It's a decent burrito. It's got plenty of meat and the various components generally work well together, even without any guacamole. (They had somehow run out.) But even though I had asked for it extra spicy, it hardly had any heat to it at all. I doubt I'd ever eat at this place again, although my burrito obsession might eventually bring me back against my better judgment. read more

go here if you want to be treated like a nuisance and be made to wait a horrific amount of before getting berated for giving this place your money. The guy took my money and then ignored me for 20 minutes. When I asked him if I was going to get my burrito, he said he'd already made it and it was on the grill. I asked him how did you know what I wanted on it and he said that I said everything, which was not true. I don't like everything. I prefer not to have refried beans and just a little bit of rice and just a tiny bit of hot sauce. I was expecting an opportunity to share this with the man because my first time in here has exactly what happened, but this time he presumed that I wanted everything and just made it. when I mentioned to him that I would've liked an opportunity to tell him, he argued with me and said I had already told him and he stuck to that and refused to fix the problem. So I told him to give me my money back and he did, but he forgot to give back the tip I had left, so I mentioned that and he pulled a bunch of change from the register and dumped it on tbe counter instead of giving me what I had wanted. I live in the area and it is very convenient for me to drop by this place, but thanks to the attitude of this one guy , I'll never be back Muchacho. There's lots of places to get good food in the area. The last thing you need when you're hungry is some jerk ignoring you, then telling you what you said when you didn't. clearly they need a refresher course on customer service. Adios! read more

This was my second time ordering from Burrito Bandidos and i'd like to cover both experiences as there were some notable differences. The first time i had the steak and chicken burrito...the burrito itself was ok but what really stood out was the hot sauce! As i have mentioned in other reviews, i am a heat seeker and have hot sauces up to 6 million SHU at home...and i can say this hot sauce was legit!!! Clearly hotter than most other burrito places out there. In fact it was the hot sauce that inspired my second order today. And herein lies my disappointment. As you can see in the comparison pic i created, the sauces are clearly different...last time it had a green tinge whereas this time it was clearly orange. Yes, it was still hot but not at the same level as last time. Perhaps some people complained and they watered it down? i dont know that for sure but i have seen it happen at other places. On the plus side, the chicken burrito was much better than the one i had last time. For the sake of comparison, i included virtually the same ingredients as last time (I think i left out green peppers) so it must be the meat, Will i order form them again? Not sure. Ultimately it is easier for me to find a good burrito than it is to find a hot sauce that is hot enough for me and i am sad to see one less option. read more

Banditos has opened another location. This is both good and bad. It's good because maybe it will force Chino Loco's to up their game as they were really the only burrito place in the area until now. This is bad because Burrito Bandito's food is mediocre. Because BB's chicken has no flavour and they don't offer a good pork solution, I decided to try the steak and shrimp. I got everything except cilantro and asked for extra hot sauce because I like hot food. The burrito however was not hot. The flavour though was better than previous BB's burritos I've tried and came in at completely average. As per other BB's locations they over grill the burrito so that the tortilla cracks and makes a mess. Also keeping with tradition, the person making your burrito asks what you want on your burrito but then ignores what you said and makes the burrito as fast as possible without putting any thought behind it. Two of my friends I was with got things on their burritos that they specifically said they didn't want. Now that I think about, it I'm surprised that my burrito was correct. Though I did say three times that I didn't want cilantro on it. I guess you just have to watch them like a hawk and repeat yourself until they get it. If you like mediocre food this is the place for you to go. read more

Hi folks - I am surprised I am the first person reviewing this new location of Burrito Bandidos. I am a fan of the Peter Street location, and they now have a location at Queen and Coxwell. Fantastic to have a good Burrito spot in the Beach. Location has some tall stools with counters.. so you can eat in (at least about a dozen people can). More spacious than the Peter Street location for sure - neat retro feel too. Good selection of burritos and quesadillas. I am still a big fan of the Steak burrito -- you can get small or large. The small is good for me - but the hubby had the large (lots of eating). You can pick from rice, beans, lettuce, tomato, green pepper, green onion, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, burrito sauce, spicy sauce, jalapenos (I am sure I missed something but you get the picture). You can pick for the meat - chicken, beef, halibut, pulled pork, chicken/beef and other options. They have white or whole wheat tortillas. They put it all together and then grill it so it is nice and hot. Yummmmmmmmm-a-LICIOUS! Same good burritos as the Peter Street location. Yep -- that's what I am talking about! Good selection of drinks including the Pellegrino Limonata, Blood Orange etc. So - get yourself down to the Beach and enjoy! read more

Burrito Bandidos - Steak burrito or what i thought was steak - Mexican Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

It's a nice little Burrito place on Queen ST. E near the beaches. Ingredients are fresh. The place is clean and well maintained and the stuff are friendly. The prices are a little higher than in other Burrito paces we visited in Toronto, but they don't charge extra for guacamole and the quality of food is very good. You can park at the nearby LCBO (same side, few buildings east) or at the parking lot across the street, behind the movie theater. I ordered small shrimp & Chicken burrito ($7.96), and it was very well done. My husband had a large halibut burrito ($10.90) . I would recommend this place if you like Mexican. read more

3 of us ate there for the first time tonight. Sad to report we found the food less than mediocre. The cheese was tasteless, the guacamole was off color, the salsa was so sad, pale and without flavor. I don't know what was being passed off as sour cream, but it wasn't sour cream. The hostess was pleasant as was the the man putting it all together. they were the only reason for any stars at all. read more

Two stars lost for the person cooking (not the one at the counter) not properly wearing her mask and breathing in my food.

I've been wanting some decent Mexican food since I moved to Toronto several months ago from the U.S. While I didn't expect this place to satisfy that crave, I also wasn't anticipating the rice to be rock solid when I dug into my burrito bowl. I nearly cracked my tooth on uncooked rice. I'm not an expert chef by any means, but at least I can boil rice. However, I can attest the spicy pulled pork was tasty and flavorful. If I do come back, I will bypass the rice and beans option. read more

I've been coming here for years and was always quite satisfied with my bean burrito - almost as good as burrito boyz. Service is always quick and friendly and prices are reasonable. I love stopping here for a quick dinner before the movies. You won't be disappointed with the burritos ! However the last time I was in, I got a burrito bowl with the spicy pulled pork. The portion size was huge and it was absolutely delicious ! I think this will replace my regular order ! read more

Please please please stay away!! First, the guacamole looked like Nutella. Absolutely disgusting. I pointed it out to the person working there and she said it was made the day before. She was either lying or it was already made with bad avocados. I felt bad for the people ordering over the phone because they had no idea just how bad the guacamole looked. We should have ran. My husband ordered a "steak", but it was ground beef and tasteless. HALFWAY THROUGH I FOUND A LONG HAIR IN MY BURRITO. I am absolutely disgusted and tempted to call the city. read more

WEAR GLOVES WHEN TOUCHING FOOD GOD DAMNIT! I went here 4 times, because the burritos are actually decent. BUT what is wrong with their staff not wearing gloves when rolling the burritos? yes, the staff preparing them with veggies etc. is wearing gloves, but not the people packaging and rolling them. Thats just disgusting! I don't know where the hands of the people have been before.... read more

Really inconsistent to the point i will not return. Sometimes good but most of the time toppings are cut so thick and sloppily it's gross. Don't order online as if you're not watching the staff make it they'll make it sloppily and you'll get so much sauce the burrito will be soaked through the paper. (Two occasions this has happened). Also staff seem to all find something else to do when you come in. I've had it on 3 occasions the staff memberall of a sudden remembers they have to do something in the back when I come in and someone else has to come up a few minutes later. Had to ask a staff member to wash their hands after they started making my burrito after watching them texting on their phone. Lots of burrito places in the city that do care so I suggest you give them your money! read more

This was once the best Burrito place I had ever been to....... The food was always fresh, quality control was job#1 until today....... My group ordered 3 burritos (pretty simple eh?) one was specifically stated to have absolutely no hot sauce or peppers whatsoever. Well 1 burrito was done well with an exception I will follow up with at the end. The other 2x were completely screwed up and my colleague received the blazing hot sauce 2x lines of it and spicy salsa...... For those that may not know how bad this was...... his condition is no different than someone with peanut allergies that can die if they so much as ingest a single gram of it...... When a patron is accustomed to a vendors work they manifest a form of "Trust" that the vendor will never screw up 3/4 of the order........ My burrito was bland with no flavor at all..... pulled pork with no spice or hot sauce is well...... tasteless. My colleague however is being rushed to the hospital......... The 1st burrito eventually made my colleague sick as well........ I did not eat mine because it was screwed up and bland. We called immediately to advise them of the horrendous error and wow........ "I am sorry", was the excuse and further "we are pretty busy here today" oh wait there is more "well if you ever decide to come back there is a free burrito in it for you......" ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??????? By the way, that was the manager speaking, he needs to be fired along with the moron that screwed up the order along with the person that quality controls these before going out for human consumption. Another colleague of mine had the fish Burrito.... he was violently ill for the entire evening as the edges of the fish filet within were dry and the center was undercooked and wet...... more complaints grew from more of my colleges that I wont bother putting down now...... FYI..... wait for the health inspector to come along with the formal lawsuit pending the outcome of the one you sent to the hospital. R.I.P. Burrito Bandidos = 6+ patrons to never return. read more

NOT the best burrito I have had in the city, Fat Bastard definitely takes the prize. But very good. Fresh ingredients - they have all the usual: guac, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, i got the fish which was BEYOND delicious and there was a lot, perfectly battered and fried. I also like the fact that they have choices of size. Go for the extra large or you will always wonder what could have been... The actual inside of the restaurant is pretty small, maybe 12-16 seats? I would suggest getting take out. read more

I go here regularly for the fantastic Chicken Burrito they custom make. Go here if you want a quality Burrito. Good looking staff and they have a scorpion sauce that is hotter than ghost sauce. #%@&!!! Awesome :) read more

While every other aspect of this restaurant is 5 star quality, from the fresh tortilla and the outstanding guacamole, and friendly servers. The burrito I chose(small steak) had one fault and that is the texture of the meat. However that aside this restaurant is 5 star!!! Hands down read more

Every time we order a burrito here they get them completely wrong. We've ordered a few times by the phone in advance and no matter how many times we repeat the order and they repeat back, it's always wrong. We have asked for no hot sauce and have repeated it several times to make sure it's clear, and we end up with hot sauce. We won't ever be ordering from there again. There are plenty other great burrito places that have more competent people working, so no need to go to this place any longer. read more

Honestly I am getting really tired of bad Mexican in this city. This place is clean, honest food and good service....but it's not Mexican by any stretch of the imagination. It's a warm wrap. Burrito Boyz or Bandidos...same things becuase they were just two parnters that split up. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Same product. Hot, fresh, great tasting.....quality.........wraps. Not a burrito. Sorry to say it but if you want closer to mission style burritos chains like Chipotle and Mucho Burrito do a much better job. They at least try and capture authentic Mexican flavors. I'll go here in desperation if i want to be full under 10...that's it. read more

Ordered via Uber eats tonight. The portion size was great, tortillas were fresh and the protein and vegetables were cooked well and were very fresh. Will definitely order again. read more

Burrito Bandidos - Mexican Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

It tastes like Burrito Boyz. It may not the most authentic (but what do i know) but its sure tasty. They have flavours like spicy pulled prok and mango chicken along with the usual toppings and sauces. Its grilled to a crispy crunchy wrap and served in the paper bag. There is limited seating here and gets busy after 12pm. Its an alternative to burgers. read more

Got a small chicken burrito bowl and small spicy pulled pork burrito. Both were delicious but the pulled was definitely the winner! The ingredients were very fresh, love that the guacamole is free and portions were very generous. But it took awhile after ordering to get our food. read more

After spending the day at Woodbine Beach, I was looking for a good burrito place within decent walking distance to share with friends. Luckily, Burrito Bandidos was not too far a walk, and it certainly did not disappoint. I ordered a large Mango Chicken burrito, complete with everything, short of jalapenos. I waited around 5 minutes for the order to be completed, which seemed shorter than most of the reviews here. (Although, most of them seem outdated.) The chicken was fairly juicy and tender, and the ingredients tasted fresh. My only complaint would be that the mango chicken was around a dollar more than the regular chicken, and the only thing you got were roughly julienne-d apple mango slices. Nice, tangy addition, but not worth the extra cost in my opinion. I would drop by again if I was in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. 4/5 read more

We love this place. So glad I don't have to drive all the way to the West end anymore for a good Burrito. I'm a big fan of the halibut, it's well worth the price. The staff here is always friendly and I would have to say that if you're in a rush call in your order about 10-15 min ahead of time. read more

Great to finally have a non-hipsterdufus burrito place a little closer to home. Had a large halibut, and it was awesome & huge. Great fish, fresh veggies, solid guac, nice & spicy but not ridiculous. Have since had a Spicy Pulled Pork as well, and it was delicious as well. read more

Me and a couple co-workers popped in for some late night eats while we were visiting for business. Wow. This place is awesome,great portions, tones of options, fresh, flavourful,great prices/value. We all got burrito's and not one of us didn't love them. I had two!! If I head back to Toronto I will be making a stop here for sure. This place DESTROYED my Chipotle experience, literally 3x the food for the same $. read more

Amazing! Large, filling and absolutely delicious. Quick service and a couple of tables if you want to eat there. All orders are made fresh in front of you. And for some entertainment they have different newspaper clippings and articles on the wall that are wacky and outrageous. A great read while you're waiting for your mouth watering, never disappointing, fulfilling meal. read more

Very hit and miss. Inconsistent. The other day had a very light, skinny burrito with no beans and very little cheese. It was a bean and cheese burrito. Not my first bad experience I'm giving up on this place. read more

I've had two bad experiences here. My first one was a year ago. I placed an order for pick up 20 minutes in advance, I show up, pay for my order, they tell me it'll be ready right away. 10 minutes later, I ask where it is (I assumed that they forgot to put my order in when I called it in but wanted to give them a break) but when I asked them where it was, it turns out that hey still hadn't put my order in!! So that's 40 minutes from when I placed my phone order! Yesterday, I went there with my husband, my 3 year old and 1 year old. My kids' food was ready right away (small chicken bowl), then they told me that my order was ready but asked us if we wanted to wait for my husbands order too and they'd keep my burrito warm for me and they'd both get called together. (how nice). A chaotic 20 minutes later of us trying to keep the kids entertained while we waited for my husband's chicken burrito, I walked up to the cook and asked him about my husbands order, it turns out that it was ready, sitting in the back, and he just forgot to tell us! I asked him " what happened to letting me know when his burrito was ready?" "Oh sorry" was all he said but in that way to just shut me up, and just turned around and walked away. Never going back again. read more

Why go here when Fat Bastard burritos are so much better and the guac is free. You don't need to settle for 2nd best.

Good, but not my kind of thing. The burrito is kind of big. taste good and fresh. Just not my type of burrito. The burrito had too much guacamole for my liking. Maybe this is a TeX Mex thing. I'm just use to burritos with more rice. Its more filling for me. read more

Extremely slow service. Waited 30 mins for two orders. Will not come back again. Worst burrito place in town.

I use to enjoy my burritos here, although I distinctly remember not really enjoying my last meal here a few months ago, I gave it another try since I was feeling burritos tonight. Boy was I disappointed, I think it may be my last visit to Burrito Bandidos, I have no reason to come back since the quality has gone down while the prices has gone up, $25 for 2 burritos is on the higher end. I got the halibut burrito and shrimp/steak burrito, the tortilla was soft but a little chewy which is done to my liking, but the halibut was fishy tasting which was off putting. It was my first time trying the steak burrito and it was bad, the beef tasted like it was very bad grade, it was chewy and dry, in addition I found a hair in my shrimp. This was a food option a year ago when the food quality was much better, it's a shame that the quality has been declining since. read more

Went here for the first time today and really enjoyed my beef and shrimp burrito. Flavours were great and ingredients tasted fresh. Also a nice bonus that you don't have to pay extra for guacamole like most burrito chains. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area! read more

G O O D E X P E R I E N C E: This was my first experience, never had a burrito before this. Amazing first time experience. The place is very clean and everything is presented well. I like that they make it in front of you so you can ask for extras on the stuff you like. I also like that they take phone orders for pick up, defiantly on my new favourites list. Cheap and Cheerful for sure, not so healty, they cut the guacamole with mayo (high bad fat) . U P D A T E : B A D E X P E R I E N C E They seem to be very disorganized. I've become a regular here, at least twice a week (but not anymore). When they are busy, you will either get the wrong order, wait forever or it will be cold because they pull it off the grill early because they know you been waiting a long time. My last experience (I won't go back), I phoned in my order as I always do to save time, they said ready in 10 minutes as per usual (parking is bad in the area). I arrived 10 minutes later, the place was busy and they were messing up orders as per usual. I waited for 25 minutes on MY PHONED IN order . What they dont tell you is that if you phone in your order, you fall to the bottom of the pile. Personally, I think someone that has you on speed dial might be a regular customer and shouldnt be put to the end of the line. Im not looking for priortiy, but I expect to be placed in line and not bumped. I felt I had to say something, I politely commented that they are very disorganized and slow. What a mistake this was. It went from simple comment to crime scene in 10 seconds. The cashier exploded and said that I had no reason to be rude. I replied, I'm not being rude, I'm just tired of waiting and need to get back to work. He insisted I was being rude so I left without my food. Go when it is slow and it is good. When it is busy, have lots of time on your hands AND DON'T BE FUSSY, you wont leave with your proper order. I won't go back Update: I did forward my compliant to their head office by way of email and I was very surprised to get a call from one of the owners. He was generally concerned and wanted to apologize and I accepted and later that day I had a call from the store manager, again it seemed very sincere. They knew me well from the short time I was going there as I became a regular. Unfortunately, they have not earned my business back but I do wish them well. read more

I just moved to the area and decided to give this place a try. I usually make the trip to Burrito Boyz and heard that this place was opened by one of the previous owners. I ordered a regular pulled pork with everything on it. The flavors were good, the meat was soft and tender. The only problem was the burrito was very soft and mushy which made it very hard to eat. I will give them a second try just maybe asking them to keep it on the grill a bit longer read more

I would have given this location two stars, except for the terrible customer service I received. Had a takeout order that they completely messed up. Got the meat wrong, didn't put in the tomato or onion and put a veritable mountain of sauce even though it was requested as lightly sauced. That, was problematic in and of itself. But, given it wasn't the absolute worst burrito I've had, I could have forgiven it. However, I sent an email to the company to let them know how disappointed I was in my order and my experience. They forwarded my email to the manager of the queen street east location who replied that the mistake was my fault. Not the fault of her "experienced" staff member who had to have one of the other staff members help her figure out the order because she couldn't follow what was being asked of her. That, right there, is reason enough not to go back. In a world where customer service is a priority, the folks at Burrito Bandidos have proven that it is not their priority. In a nutshell: mediocre AT BEST food combined with atrocious customer service. Avoid this place. read more
