Burrito Beach in Terminal 3 is a solid option for a morning layover if you need clean, high-protein fuel. I ordered a custom breakfast bowl with chicken chorizo and eggs, adding black beans, guacamole, onions, cheese, jalapeños, and green salsa. In terms of execution, it sits right around the Chipotle level of quality--reliable and fast, though not mind-blowing. The best part was the utility; it was a right-sized portion that left me feeling satisfied without the heavy, overfilled feeling before a long flight. It is a highly practical stop near the H/K gates. Staff were quick and efficient. read more

I ended up at Burrito Beach in what seemed like a food court while waiting around killing time. The food court was packed and busy but I saw the Burrito Beach line was moving a little quicker so I went with that. Seating was shared with other vendors and tables were first come first serve. I realized the menu and concept was similar to that of Chipotle, so I was excited to try something slightly different. I ended up ordering a Create Your Own Bowl with char-grilled chicken. I included all standard toppings for my bowl and noticed how skimpy the portions were. I thought they would load up rice as filler but if anything they loaded up on lettuce. The chicken was very dry, the rice tasted like Rice A Roni, and the vegetable toppings didn't really taste fresh. The saddest part of my bowl was that I could see the bottom of the bowl through the toppings, indicating the amount of food provided was very minimal. Considering my bowl was not filling and contained mediocre ingredients, I know never to try any of the Burrito Beach locations again. Even though I ordered from the airport location, I shouldn't still be hungry after finishing my overpriced bowl. read more

Burrito Beach - Create Your Own Bowl with char-grilled chicken - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Honesty wasn't bad. I wanted something hot and the line moved quickly. I did something simple which was the Miguel breakfast burrito; actually pretty tasty. The staff were super speedy with getting in the line down. With everything so visited it's kind of intimidating because they're trying to get you through. So I feel like if you had questions they might get a little irritated but maybe that's just me; if the vibe was more like take your time look then I may be rated a 5. Happy eating!! read more

Burrito Beach - Miguel burrito - $10.38 out the door - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I was pleasantly surprised by my burrito at Burrito Beach today. I was looking for something high in protein for breakfast and I was able to build my own burrito (actually they build it) with egg, bacon and a verde sauce. I could have added other ingredients, but that's all I wanted. The burrito was remarkably good for airport food. Burrito Beach is located in the Food Court of Terminal 3. The line moves quickly and the team is friendly. Food Court seating is available but tight. They serve breakfast options until 10:30 am then switch to lunch/dinner burritos tacos and bowls. Prices are great for airport food. My burrito was only $8. They even serve margaritas, but I didn't try one. read more

Fast casual burrito place inside the airport. I ordered a baja shrimp burrito with a side of vegetables. The shrimp is cooked to order for each burrito/entree. It was very fresh. A lot of toppings to choose from. The black beans and yellow rice were good. Everything had seasoning to it, especially the shrimp. I added some habanero sauce for some spice. The vegetables were a little plain, but very fresh. The line moved quickly and efficiently. read more

They make a rather Brobdignation burrito! It's huuuge! Perhaps a little dialed-down, flavorifically -but hey, it's an airport! Add a few pounds before your flite, and stick it to the rapacious Airlines! read more

8/13/25: this is airport food: have adequate expectations. --- the guac was fab and i do highly rec it! --- this place is located in the airport's food hall in H/K, with tons of places to choose from, but this is only burrito place. i thought for a grilled chicken burrito, it was affordably priced. im on treat yo self mode, on a michelin 3 chicago foodie trip, so i did add guac and chips. i did find "add ons" pricey, but whatever #yolo. the burrito itself was huge, filling, and satisfying. very generous portion. the service was very nice and polite. i interacted with 3 diff people and they were each nice. the people behind me were whisper-complaining about slow service but i thought the line moved well, considering they put my burrito on the hot grill to make it crispy. read more

Great option at the airport! The place is popular, and therefore, the lines are long, but it moves quickly, so don't be alarmed. I like that they have a veggie option and offer quinoa. I enjoyed it so much that I stopped there for dinner on my way back home Reasonably priced for airport food. The friendliness of the staff was hit or miss, but at least they're moving everybody through quickly. read more

I came by here while on a quick layover heading to San Francisco. You can find them in the food court of terminal three. The line moved fairly quick, but the service suffered because of it. The staff were not friendly at all. When it comes to the food, it's basically another version of Chipotle, where you BYO tacos, burritos, bowls, etc. I ordered a vegetarian burrito with black beans, rice, and guacamole along with my choice of extras like lettuce and sour cream. The employee that rolled my burrito did so horribly. It was very sloppy and made where I had to eat each ingredient individually before getting to the next one, which was weird and the only way to fix it was to eat it sideways. It was just a mess altogether. I travel through O'Hare a good bit and I won't likely try it again. read more

Service here was pretty quick on a busy Monday morning at the airport. The food was decent and what's to be expected from an airport. It's similar to Chipotle but instead of white or brown rice they offer Mexican rice. You get to put all these different things in the bowl or burrito and pay en extra $2.59 for homemade guacamole ... now if this is homemade my name is Carol Burnett lol. All in all I'd order again if I'm at ORD especially if I don't have time to sit at a restaurant and I don't want anything fried or greasy on the go. read more

Shawn, the manager, was very attentive and made sure I was taken care of!!! He ran a good crew who were all kind and personal, all while still giving extraordinary service. Not to add, the food is perfection. . I would recommend this over any other restaurant in the airport solely because of the service and taste!!! -Imani read more

Burrito Beach - So delicious!!! This was a shrimp burrito with quinoa rice, guac, and more. - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm in the food court where O'Hare airport's H and K concourses meet. For a quick, satisfying breakfast burrito, Burrito Beach is a good choice. Made fresh, obviously, with lots of cheddar. The potatoes give it heft and complement the bacon pretty well. A spicier salsa would be a suggestion, but that's my preference. Quick service, which always matters when connecting for the next flight. They also have adult beverages available, which would be a nice add at a different time of day. read more

When it comes to airport food, this place holds its ground as a pretty solid choice. However, as expected, it's a bit pricier and doesn't quite match up to some of the other restaurants that offer the same options elsewhere like Qdoba and Chipotle. Although, I do feel like they have more protein options compared to places Qdoba/Chipotle. The service didn't really stand out - the first person in line seemed a bit crabby. When I requested both types of rice, he appeared taken aback before mentioning the additional 40 cents charge. No big deal for me; a few extra cents for an extra serving of rice is a small price to pay, especially for someone accustomed to hearty Asian portions. The next person in line, did forget to tell the cashier that I got an extra helping of rice. read more

I wish more restaurants had the continuity of quality and service they do here. Karen, jasmine and crew hold a high standard. 10am today I went with a tried and true standby...steak burrito. Tasty, seasoned right & fresh! I'm never disappointed visiting here. read more

Absolutely love Burrito Beach! The burritos are not only huge, but the ingredients tastes incredibly fresh. I always get the shrimp which is made-to-order. Big shoutout to Sean, who is always super helpful and friendly. Best place to grab food at O'Hare in Terminal 3, can't wait to come back. read more

Burrito Beach - Shrimp Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Grabbed a burrito bowl and wanted some of the BBQ sauce and the manager and employee were extremely rude and would not provide me with a side of BBQ sauce and they refused to add some on the bowl. Said that because I did not order the proper meal for BBQ sauce that I could not have any. I even offered to buy some and they still said no. Terrible customer service and for no reason. Provide customers with what they want. Already was expensive to eat here anyways. read more

Let's manage expectations -- this place is good if you're expecting a Taco Bell x chipotle crossover baby. The meat is giving Taco Bell ground beef. The burrito is flavorful in the way Taco Bell or del taco is. The wraps and bowls available make the concept more similar to chipotle. Honestly, this is a solid option if you're hungry and you need something dependable. The burrito was $13 and a pretty good size. read more

Always love stopping by when I fly through here! Food is great and the staff is always fast and friendly. Their manager has been there for years and works just as hard as everyone else. Definitely my favorite place at ORD! read more

As a flight attendant I've been going here for years! Burrito Beach is one of the only healthy options in the terminal where you can get fresh food served quickly. I especially like the add ons like quinoa and grilled veggies. The portions are also decent. This is definitely one of my favorite 'airport' restaurants. read more

This is the best restaurant in terminal 3 Chicago airport!!! We need more of these around the airport especially in the United gates. The staff is always so welcoming and nice and I look forward to flying into Chicago every time so I can get burrito beach!! read more

I've been visiting this location for over 10 years. As someone who's constantly in airports, today's visit truly put a smile on my face! Karen, who has been here for 27 years, and Shawn, with 35 years of service, took such great care of me and my crew during a very busy breakfast rush. I really appreciated their kindness, patience in answering questions, and the exceptional service they provided. Thank you both for making our visit the highlight of what turned out to be a very long day. read more

Layover at ORD. Burrito Beach in the food court had a category Vegan on the menu board with maybe 3 options under it. The line moved steadily and I also saw signs for online ordering. The food was good and I wasn't sure I would find a vegan option so it was even better.. read more

Nah never again. The food they gave me smelled old and rancid. I couldn't even finish my breakfast.

Although airport fast food restaurants tend to heard people like cattle it's never appreciated when they rush you and act like an ass when I asked to repeat the rice choices and there was no one in line behind me. Next time I'll go to Rick bayless take out across the hall. Get two stars since the food was actually edible. read more

Great food and the staff is always friendly. Definitely recommend for anyone to try when in O'Hare.

l fly through O'hare quite frequently as an American Airlines executive platinum , and each time I do I make it my mission to choose Burrito Beach as my food option. Terminal 3 has 4 McDonald's which I do not eat, and other restaurants that doesnt provide food with fresh ingredients. What I enjoy most about the menu is the option of having Shrimp with my burrito or bowl, and no other place in terminal 3 provides that. Burrito Beach provides healthy options that the other places cannot provide! Most importantly I choose Burrito Beach because of the customer service. Working in the service industry is extremely challenging during these times, yet the team always greets each costumer with a positive welcome. There's been multiple occasions when I've felt the weight of the world on my shoulders & visited Burrito Beach only to be greeted with amazing energy from Jasmine, Karen & the entire time that would change the trajectory of my day. The prices could be the most expensive in the terminal, but the customer service will always keep me as a repeat customer. These are the places that cannot be duplicated read more

Probably one of the better places to choose to eat in the airport, you can get a healthy meal that's fairly good. I would recommend the shrimp. You have to wait extra time for it but I think it's worth it. I forgot to ask for salsa, so my bowl was a little bit dry, and it was way too busy for me to even try to go back up and get some salsa. Expensive, but that's most likely due to the airport location. read more

let me tell you, I am a Texan and I walked the 1 mile between gates to get here! Miguel's breakfast burrito is the best thing I have had outside of Texas! Delicious! read more

My burrito was great. What was really great was the fact that it was almost closing time, maybe 5 minutes before 9pm. Reggio's was closed already, Manchu Wok was closed, but the manager at Burrito Beach was calling out letting people know they were about to close which was a nice gesture rather than closing early. I've stopped in before but will make sure I stop by more often now. Truly appreciate the extra effort last night guys thank you! read more

For airport food, I would say this is a pretty solid choice, but expectedly more expensive and not as good as other burrito / bowl/ taco options elsewhere. I ordered the chargrilled chicken bowl with avocado on side. Definitely not to Chipotle level but it was a very satisfying meal. The employees were very joyful and actually seemed like they enjoyed working there, which was a nice change from the usual. read more

Terrible tacos, corn tortillas was mush, disintegrated in your mouth, soggy napkin texture, cold.

We are connecting here at the Chicago airport on the way to Italy. I can honestly say that was one of the most disgusting "bowls" I've ever had. It literally tasted like dog food. I never leave reviews good or bad, but it was so damn bad. Please go to the McDonald's next door. Do NOT go. read more

Burrito Beach - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Probably wouldn't recommend this one. Though a burrito is always worth getting, this location at least really skimps. I opted for a burrito bowl while waiting for a flight, and they went so light on the rice and beans (which are incredibly cheap), in the end the bowl was maybe half full, not sure why they buy so large bowls when they don't give out filling portions. Unfortunately don't think I can't recommend this spot, and would definitely find alternative food options next time read more

My favorite place to eat at ORD honestly sooo good! I look forward to this place anytime I have a layover in Chicago!

I have food allergies and as soon as I mentioned celiac one employee stepped in and said "I'll do it I gotta clean gloves and clean utensils to serve with " Tyler had a great personality,was super positive, informative about my allergies, took it serious and didn't make fun of tease me. All the staff actually were extremely knowledgeable about celiac and my allergy which made me extremely comfortable. we were in terminal one and we had to walk two terminals over to have this delicious lunch, and it was totally worth it! read more

This is an airport food breakfast? I'm in heaven. I have choked down far too many meals while waiting in an airport terminal to ever expect something like this. Typically it's ridiculously overpriced and barely edible. But Burrito Beach -- at least at O'Hare's Terminal 3 (H/K food court) -- breaks the mold. Their breakfast egg and cheese burrito was customizable and an absolute steal at $5.99. It was stuffed full and had a myriad of choices of toppings available at no extra charge. And $.39 added a generous amount of black beans. Friendly, cheerful, helpful service as well, which added to my morning experience. I'm making note of this for when I pass through O'Hare in the future and have time to spend while waiting on a plane. You should too. read more
