Not a huge fan of this place. Ordered take out when visiting my boyfriend since we have walked by it many times, but never gone in to eat. Every time we passed by it was empty--- so that should've been our sign to not eat there, but I was in a mood for some tacos or burrito. Next time I walk past a restaurant that never has customers, ill be sure to stay away- that's a sign in itself. Ended up ordering chips and salsa, and two build your own burritos. I ordered the chicken and when it came it was mostly rice- the cheese wasn't I on it and the sour cream wasn't there either- even though I chose it for toppings. When it came to my boyfriends burrito he ordered the pork and the tortilla was hard in spots and wet and slimy. He was missing some of his toppings and was disappointed in the taste of his burrito. The chips and salsa were even gross- the chips were over cooked and seasoned with a strange seasoning. I would never eat here again- just threw money out the window. read more

My girlfriend ordered takeout from here and it turned out to be a big mistake. I ended up with a pork burrito that was very greasy on the bottom, with the tortilla hard in spots, and missing the shredded cheese. It also wasn't put together evenly. And the tortilla chips were overcooked. We won't be ordering from here again. read more

Burrito Bonito - Why so greasy? - Mexican Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Unsure why there are a few 2 and 1 star reviews for Burrito Bonito. Having said that, this a new establishment here in Old City. I've found it to be very clean, well maintained, and the food is extremely fresh and tasty. This will be my new go too when I'm hungry at work and need a walk to get some fresh air. Everyone is super nice and friendly. A cut above your local Chiptole or Quoba. read more

I really wish I could be more positive about Burrito Bonito, because I definitely wanted to like them. Upon first ordering, I was super impressed by the fact that they actually cook up your tortilla fresh, right in front of you. I'm talking they measure the dough, flatten it out, then throw it on the griddle, for real. I was so impressed, that is, until I ate it. The tortillas were downright terrible. I don't know if they just didn't cook mine enough, or the dough is just not good, but damn. They were the worst tortillas I've ever had in my life. I ordered tacos, and ended up eating the filling with a fork, and tossing out the tortilla. The meat fillings were so wet that they made the tortilla turn into a slimy, off putting mess. It was just not good. For fillings, I tried the steak and the grilled chicken. I thought the grilled chicken was decent, but the steak was overly salty, and pretty much drowning in sauce. Probably the most notable thing that you could fill the taco with was the pineapple salsa. At least the pineapple tasted fresh and juicy, but everything else was just amazingly bland. The Salsa verde was bitter, and not spicy in the least. I think the push here seems to be attracting vegetarians and vegans, which is cool. They have vegan ground beef, as well as portobello barbacoa, and three or four different types of beans. That being said, it is disappointing as a person that loves cheese and dairy that unlike EVERY OTHER taco place in existence, where these items are included, if you want cheese and sour cream here it is A DOLLAR UPCHARGE. Anyone else find all the five star reviews from brand new accounts that haven't uploaded a profile and have ONLY reviewed this place a bit suspicious? They also like to mention how this place is better than Chipotle... I would have loved it if it was, but it isn't. Not even close. read more

I don't know why this place has a single review under 5 stars. I just ate the best damn burrito I've ever eaten! I love that they press the burritos fresh right in front of you. There was this one chain pancheros I used to go to that did this but I don't live near it anymore. The only thing I'd recommend to the proprietor is to mix the filling around before rolling the burrito, but even still I feel like it was all pretty spread out! (This is what pancheros does) read more

Didn't want anything complex for dinner before the race in the morning. It's conveniently located near where I'm lodging and was recommended. The basic build-your-own burrito spot with fresh and tasty ingredients. The vegan ground beef was tasty. I'd come here again read more

I ordered hard shell tacos. they were not hard, but rather soft and soggy. Which would be fine, had I received actual soft shell tacos by mistake. But no, these tacos were once hard-shelled, and due to some amount of unidentified wetness (Juice? Steam? Moisture? Other???) they had become a saturated mess. I contacted the restaurant for a refund, and was shot down quickly. Would you eat this gross disgusting mess? I wouldn't feed it to my dog. I filed a dispute with my bank. I will not pay for food that's unfit for the homeless. read more

This is hands down the WORST food I've had in months. I only walked in there because it was late and I was starving .Everything was stale or overcooked, the tortilla though freshly made was soggy and had a weird mouth feel, the rice had probably been sitting there for days. One bite at the burrito and I knew had I eaten it all I would have been food poisoned. read more

Soo good and flavorful! Everything is fresh and preparation is authentic. I loved my burrito!

This experience happened a few days ago -- I was so pumped to see this place was opening but i have to admit, it was not very good. I tried getting brown rice -- nope all out. "but you can wait 20 minutes, we'll make more" lol no. I went with the pulled chicken, got the very end of the supply they had left -- There was zero flavor. The tortilla was mushy and soggy and had a HUGE tear in it -- so of course it fell apart immediately. I threw the rest of it away. All these 5 star reviews look fake to me, no one in their right mind would say these things about this place read more

I've given this place numerous chances pre-pandemic and during. I thought originally that the reason they were so disorganized since they just opened and were still getting their process down. They had a nice concept of trying to make some stuff fresh, especially making the tortilla at the time of ordering and sometimes grilling or cooking steak or chicken as needed so it fresher. However, this causes them problems as either there only one person when there multiple people or people who have no clue how to coordinate. It sad as I like there burrito when it is made well but it doesn't always get made right. But it always end up the same standing there waiting for them to either take your order and ignoring you for a good amount of time or waiting for them to be inefficient. So in the end I have to say either avoid the place or expect to be patient as you'll basically have to wait a long period of time for service. For the pandemic their online ordering system is horrible as they only had one order (mine) and I went there only to find that at the moment I was suppose to pick up my order it wasn't even started and I had to wait simply to pick it up. read more

Very friendly staff! The bowl portion size is great. Loved the food (steak was nice and tender) and the guacamole was great!

Great new spot in old city! The fresh made tortillas can't be beat. I love all the filling choices, there was so much variety. They also have a lot of vegan options which is really nice when you're traveling with a crowd. I would definitely give this new spot in old city a try! read more

Ordered the Burrito - to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. The chicken was about as dry as the Mojave desert, I also got steak added cause two's a party. But man, the steak was like a rubber Michelin tire. The toppings Jalapeños, pineapple salsa, pico de gallo and salsa Rojo were the only highlights here. If I wanted that, I would've just hit the farmers market. Oh and when I went to pay to put my card in the reader said $22? burrito better be dipped in gold to cost a full Andrew Jackson. Glad I caught it and it got corrected. I'm trying to give everyone some business during these tough times but I won't be coming back. read more

Was really excited to try this place when it was opening! It really lived up to my expectations! Unlike some of the burrito chains that are everywhere, this place presses their tortillas from scratch and it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE! Between that and the super fresh ingredients, this burrito was one of the best I ever had. They have a huge variety, even a ton of vegan options, for everyone to enjoy something. The staff was fast and friendly and I will definitely be going back. Would recommend 10/10! read more

After reading some of the negative reviews, I was hesitant to come in. I'm glad I decided to try this place. The staff was super friendly and the food was wonderful. Homemade tortillas were cooked well. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The sauces were amazing - make sure you try them all. Hope this place sticks around. read more

Disappointing. $13.50 for a Carnitas burrito bowl with guac is typical old-city-expensive but it was just so-so tasting and I had a ton of undercooked rice. Next time, I'll just do the trek up to El Fuego on 7th and walnut. $3 cheaper and 10x more tasty. read more

Love these burritos! Plus they are open late night, which means I can head over there after old city bar hopping, highly recommend!

I've been seeing positive posts on my neighborhood apps and finally got here. The food is delicious . I had a pulled chicken and ground beef taco on a soft tortilla and it had such good flavor . There are so many options to put on your burrito bowls or burritos or tacos. I also got the queso and chips. Wow dangerous. The queso is really good but the chips are even better! Stop in and give them some business , you won't regret it . read more

went in here because i had such a craving for mexican food. however, i was extremely disappointed with the food, quality and price. i ordered a burrito bowl. the rice was very dry and undercooked, the chicken was bland. i believe they opened at noon but by 1pm they were out of most of the ingredients. the portions are very very small, unlike what you expect from a burrito bowl. left super disappointed and upset that i had to spend my money on this. never again! read more

One of my go-tos for a quick bite in Old City. Quality ingredients and a friendly staff. And monster burritos too.

This place has horrible disgusting food. I knew as soon as we walked in that we should have turned around and walked right out. The food was completely BLAND. The chicken and steak tasted like it was boiled and the accompaniments were not fresh at all. My husband got food poisoning from eating a steak burrito. Such a disgrace to Old City. read more

So glad this spot opened up right on Market street! So close to all of the old city bars and open late... now everyone has a late night option other than pizza or cheesesteaks! The staff was so friendly and helpful. 10/10 ... a must try if you are in the Philadelphia area!! read more

Love this place! Awesome food, awesome staff. So polite and friendly. Just moved to the area and was looking for a quick place to get a burrito. Have been there 3-4 times in the last 2 weeks. Puts Chipotle to shame! read more

Amazing! Best burritos in the city, I won't go to chipotle anymore. Very fresh and organic ingredients. Also the manager Leon is the best! I'll continue going there read more

Wow! I love everything about this place, from the food to the atmosphere, best burrito bowl I've ever had, hands down. Blows chipotle out of the water! I'll definitely be back asap!!!! read more

This place is amazing ! Burritos out of this world. Open till 3 am ? Drunk burritos? Count me in !!

Extremely disappointed-I had a Burrito bowl and it was cold; additionally the proportion of the bowl is not worth the price. Was very excited to see a new place opening up in Old City, but unfortunately will not be returning again. read more
