This place is actually bomb. Tried my first burrito today which was the special frito burrito of the month. I was very impressed on the quality and taste of the carne asada and the burrito as a whole. Absolutely loved this one, I hope the regular menu items are just as good because the Fritos gave it a great crunch. The elote is also delicious and I tried the churro fries which were very unique and not at all what I expected. Not the normal texture or dusting of a normal churro it really is more like a fry. Overall I will definitely be back to try other stuff, very impressed! read more

Unfortunately after stopping in to this place again I can no longer recommend it. There is a general atmosphere of unfriendliness here. I stopped in for a beer and food with a friend. Not a big beer selection so I got a modelo black. Bartender seems over worked with managing both the food and bar side of the business. The food has also changed for the worse it was nothing like what we had before didn't taste fresh and was not presented very well. Sad to say next time im in omaha I probably won't be back which is said since we always stop by when visiting. read more

We stopped in on a recent Friday night around 10pm. I loved the vibe of the place - great music, bright colors and a larger crowd than some other sleepy looking benson establishments. We enjoyed a couple margaritas but the food was pretty average. We also did not receive one of our appetizers. I'd maybe stop in for a drink but probably dine elsewhere in benson. read more

I stopped into Burrito Envy after my night out in Benson. I haven't had their infamous breakfast burrito in years and it was calling my name. One bite in and I was disappointed. After scrolling through the other reviews, it's clear the restaurant changed ownership and they kept the old menu. The burrito was bland and lacking seasoning. Overall, a bummer of an experience. I'll forever be dreaming of the old envy sauce and green sauce. read more

Food was ok but not great. The person at the counter was alone to make food, drinks, and take orders. Not a good call for restaurant. Should have at least 2 people at all times. I don't blame the worker I blame whoever is running it like that. The place looked like it wasn't fully running. The vibe was almost as if it wasn't ready to be open yet. Server did their best but as people walked in you have to take orders you can't also be in the kitchen cooking. read more

Food was great but service was horrible. The one waiter was busy sitting with friends and appeared under the influence of something.

My husband and I absolutely love going to Burrito Envy! Our love affair for the loaded tots and burritos began in our 20's when we needed a little post-bar fuel. We now really enjoy bringing our toddler here for a meal that always hits the spot! This may seem silly, but this is the only restaurant I have ever been in the has a high-top highchair. BRAVO BURRITO ENVY! Sometimes toting a toddler around to restaurants is a little daunting, but I find it very easy to come here with ours. I really enjoy the extensive variety of margaritas you can get here. My favorites include, but are not limited to the watermelon and blueberry! When I get a meal, I love to get the California burrito while my husband prefers the Surf and Turf. Additional tots are a must, as they are our toddlers favorite! read more

We just tried to go for dinner and let's just say all we got was drinks. We sat for 2 hrs and the one item that came out was wrong. Then everyone around us got food and they decided to tell us our order was so messed up they were just going to comp it and give us no food. The owner/manager was running around and yelled "just comp the whole fucking thing this is a disaster". I will say the drinks were good. read more

Turned out we visited on First Friday so the place was PACKED. But we got a spot at the bar and the bartenders immediately let us know they were slammed and it would be a bit of a wait but that they would get to us ASAP. That's really all I need, just acknowledgement that I'm there and communication about the wait. No big deal! We probably only waited 10 minutes and were able to order drinks and food and it all came super fast. Got the California nachos and they were pretty good! Not a ton of diverse toppings but tasty. The bartender made me the Thursday special, cucumber jalapeño margarita and it was DELICIOUS. read more

I just tried this place last night and it was so good! I can't complain - they were quick to serve us and the food was so good! The full plate of breakfast nachos was enough for me and my boyfriend! read more

Very good food and service is pretty good. The menu is a little hard to read. I had the Cuban burrito which I shall order again when I go. Mostly bar seating which means stools. The bar is bright and the bartenders are friendly. Prices are a bit high. read more

This is the second time I've been there and this time I brought my wife and son. Granted, it's not exactly a "kid friendly" spot because it's mainly high tops and a bar, but the food is totally worth it. I had the California Burrito bowl, my wife got the Surf and Turf (forgot a picture of hers), and my son had a cheese quesadilla. We also tried the Chips and Queso since it was happy hour today. Both times the food has really wowed us! The biggest thing that sets them apart from other places is their tator tots instead of rice. Such a unique flavor with their other ingredients. Their carne asada (steak) is fresh and tender and their guacamole tastes homemade. Even without the rice, their portions are very filling. I would definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

The burrito was barely wrapped together. The food lacked any noticeable flavor but it was food. Staff was helpful not their fault.

The regular Asada burrito is different, just wanted to let people know... they said there is new owners but they kept the name. The burrito taste completely different from what it normally taste like it went from a 10 to a 1 for me. Won't be going anytime soon read more

Burrito Envy became a favorite takeout spot for us during the pandemic. We have yet to dine in house, but the burritos and margaritas we have carried back home with us or enjoyed in a park have all been very good. I particularly enjoy the passion fruit margarita, and being an herbivore, I tend to get the mixed veggies burrito unless the current special is veggie friendly. I guess one drawback wpuld be that they have lots of options on the menu, but not a ton for vegetarians. Good thing I enjoy the one main offering. Definitely check out BE if you're in the neighborhood. read more

When one wanders down into Benson, generally it's expected you'll spend a little time drinking at some grungy and hip bars, fend off the errant hipster trying to get you to take their selfie, and spend way too much money if you wander into Yoshitomo and get sushi. What you don't expect, is to have some of the best nachos you've ever tasted, from a place named after burritos. Well, I'm here to tell you that you're in for a surprise. Burrito Envy is exactly what you'd expect a Benson bar to look like. It's not extravagant or posh, the floor might be sticky from some idiot spilling his drink, and depending on the time of day there might not be anywhere to sit. Their location is clever, for it has one entrance and register for take-out, and a second for dining in. Obviously they specialize in tequila based drinks, and whichever one I ordered was actually pretty good. The cool thing about their menu is most of the dishes can be ordered as a burrito, taco, or nachos. Me, being a huge nacho fan, elected to get the California Nachos on my visit. My first things when ordering is that I'd be getting a second-rate plate of chips, with overcooked carne asada, and for some reason tater tots....?? What I got was actually incredible. The carne asada was tender, cooked perfectly, and not the dollar store chunk of meat I was expecting. The cheese sauce was flavorful, plentiful, and not overly spicy, and those weird little tater tot morsels actually added an extra layer of taste, salt, and texture to my nachos I never thought I'd enjoy. In all, they're my favorite cheesy chips I've had in Omaha to date. Do yourself a favor and try them. read more

Whole entire menu changed! Very bland and not worth it. Please bring back the old menu!!! There is a reason why it's extremely empty inside.

New owners. The food is not good anymore and it made me throw up. It made my son in law sick the next day.

Me and my husband came in here on a week night later in the evening after playing cornhole at 1912 and it was good. I got the chicken rice bowl and it was fresh and good. I thought the envy sauce was a little lack luster to be honest. I needed something to give it a little more flavor. The service wasn't horrible but for how slow it was in there it took a little while to get our check. The food came out quickly though! I'd like to come back and try something new to see if it's a little more flavorful than the plain chicken bowl! read more

Burrito menu had a lot of various options. Parking here was a bit tough on a Friday night. Food was good and tasted fresh, just not fantastic. Service was great and variety of salsas and hot sauces was above average for sure. If I could give a half star I would definitely move this up to 3 1/2. read more

These doggone nachos look like something my dog Roscoe would throw up after sneaking his way into the pantry gabage. Then after that, he wouldn't even try to eat these sorry a$s 'chos again. Mild to decent chance this catastrophe gave me food poisoning, but I don't want to make false accusations either. There's a reason why this isn't "Nacho" Envy... certainly Nacho' specialty, Burrito envy. Next time I'm starving at 1:24AM in the 402, I'll take the leap of faith and my $18 towards some roller items at QuikTrip down the street. But, homegirl at the front was a hoot and provided excellent service. The $5 tip was the only worthwhile spend. Here's my recommendations (to at least make Taco B(H)ell jealous: 1. Take the Nachos off the menu 2. Mo' mula, baby read more

Burrito Envy is a Benson fast casual place that serves burritos, bowls, and wraps. After reading some of the Yelp reviews, I stayed far away from the sushi burrito/seafood and ordered a California burrito. These are typically my favorite type of Mexican American burritos. The burrito itself was great- the steak was legit steak with good flavor and it had a nice balance of guac/tater tots/cheese. Usually the fries/tots get very soggy with everything in there but this wasn't the case at B.E. Overall, a very solid burrito. The interior was clean and the service was quick/good for lunch on a Friday. I'd say the biggest downside to B.E. is the price. It's $10 for a burrito here, one that isn't massive in size. From a price point comparison, you can get a $6-7 burrito at Lina's or Aberlardo's that's of equal size or bigger. I liked my B.E. burrito a bit more than some of those places, but 30% more? Not sure. The value probably isn't there to go consistently. That being said, Burrito Envy has its place as a fast casual burrito restaurant in a hot spot of town. It'd likely be good for bigger groups who have pretty diverse tastes. I'd return for sure. read more

Stopped in for a margarita and ended up getting some nachos too! The restaurant itself is open and seemed clean. We sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and obviously knew how to mix drinks. He carefully crafted our margaritas using bitters, etc. While the margarita was okay, it really tasted just like bitters to me...couldn't detect much of a lime flavor at all. We ordered the PBJ nachos. (Pork, Bacon and Jalapenos) They were amazing! Super tender pork and perfect chips...it all went together great! Would definitely stop back in just for these but would also like to try some other items on the menu! read more

My roommate and I ordered the funnel cake fries because we were craving something sweet! The funnel cake fries are warm and crunchy.

We stopped today for the first time. We loved the food. We had the special burrito of the month Honey Pimento Bacon Bomb. That was the best combination of sweet and spice. We really enjoyed that. Also got the Caribbean burrito. Very flavorful as well. Chips with Queso was good. The portions were large. We definitely plan to stop again. read more

Drinks were good. Blended Marg was yummy and a good smooth consistency. Shots were good too. Also drinks were affordable which I appreciate. Food however wasn't as impressive. I got two grilled shrimp tacos and the "grilled shrimp" was literally cold shrimp cocktail style shrimp. No grilling took place unfortunately. Sad because the habanero salsa was yummy! Shells were cold and ended up so soggy they broke while I was eating, rip. Burrito was okay. No major qualms except the fact that it has dried cranberries in it.... Salsa was nice and spicy and chips were fine. Tots were good. We got our food before we got our waters which is a pet peeve of mine. I had to ask for waters twice. We stayed for about an hour and they literally ONLY played post Malone music. No joke every song was a post Malone song. Not a crime but just kinda weird lol. I would've loved to here maybe a single other artist in the hour we stayed lmao Nothing was egregious, but nothing was that good either. Come for margs and appetizers but choose a different spot for tacos and main dishes- taco co is right across the street and their tacos and super yummy! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here. They were slightly understaffed but wait times weren't too bad. They have a bar and to go section and it was popping off on a Friday night and for good reason. Their veggie burrito was huge and tasty. They have house made salsas which were pretty good. I didnt ask but I hope they have some spicier options. Definitely going to come back here for cinco de mayo read more

Man I wish this place had it's ish together, but the service is downright despicable. I'll give it to them, their food is good. The burritos are large, but not huge and they have terrific takes including a Cuban burrito w fried plantains, a poke burrito, a sushi burrito and a jalapeno popper chicken burrito. I've had about four different burritos there and loved all four. But I will not go back there. I've had it The service is so bad. You wait nearly 10 minutes just to get served... And this is counter service. There's never been a line I've waited in, they just don't seem to be in a hurry to help. Sometimes they'll even come do something at the register, and then go back in the kitchen without acknowledging the customers. This is by no means exaggeration. The last two times I've ordered there, I LITERALLY waited 30+ mins for my food. Isn't this the same food that chipotle and Qdoba get me instantaneously? It'd be one thing if they were kind or apologetic, but you get a distinct vibe that they could care less that you're there. In fact, I've felt like my presence is a nuisance. I could go on and on, but I respect my time. It seems Burrito Envy does not. read more

I tried the samon burrito - normally I'm against cream cheese in rolls and this didn't change that opinion. I think it was ok, but for $10, not too much salmon or fillings. Others had other burritos/bowls and thought the protein portion was light. read more

I went here with a friend a few weeks ago for brunch and their bottomless mimosa's. I ordered their Huevos Rancheros and it was good. Nothing mind-blowing. Their bottomless mimosa's are good but very sweet. After a couple, I asked them to leave out the blood orange puree; which is a cool twist, but it was chalked full of sugar. I felt like I got gut rot after a few of them. All in all, everything was just okay. Nothing that would entice me to go back. read more

Nice interior decor and very spacious with COVID. We went around 8:30pm on Friday and ordered a few drinks (margaritas seen here). They have frozen and on the rocks. All the margaritas are lime and they use syrup to flavor. Very sugary and not the best. The machine used for frozen was broken so they only offered on the rocks. Happy Hour at 10pm which was nice because it took the $7 to $4.5. There was only one guy working and he seemed very busy. We got overcharged at the end which was disappointing. Not too sure if I would return read more

Music was fun. Burritos were just okay. Diablo hot sauce was really good. Staff was very attentive and quick.

Maybe I'm biased because I liked Baxter so much (previous pizza tenant) but Burrito Envy was just OK. The space is the same, with some rasta music and surfboards tacked to the wall instead of the New Yorker vibe Baxter had, but its generally the same thing as Baxter minus pizza+tacos/burritos. We sampled the tacos and the chips with queso and the staff was nice enough toss in some salsa and jalapeño too. They seemed to have purchased everything from Baxter, since I noticed the stools and high tops and the dinnerware was the same. The tacos were just fine while sober-nothing to make a special trip for, but probably taste amazing when drunk. Same on the queso and chips-but this is a dish I would actually enjoy equally sober and drunk ;). The queso was thick, creamy, cheesy and delicious. The chips were thin, crispy, and warm-which I liked. The salsa was pretty spicy, and I liken the look and style to Chipotle's medium blend. Overall-reasonable weekly specials for food and tequila during the week, and very good hours for evenings and late night. I could see myself here after a night out in Benson, but probably would not come back just to have a solo meal. read more

This is my second visit. The bar part continues to disappoint me. We were promptly greeted (this was late night saturday) and seated inside the bar with Chips by the pleasant African American gent who was super pleasant. I waited for 20 minutes for the bartender (who was chatting with a few people at the bar)to take our order but he couldn't care less. Eventually had to go counter to order food and to the bartender to get drinks, who clearly was upset to be working. The Fire-braised chicken bowl was good and the carne asada burrito was excellent. Will go for take-out food but never to the bar. 2/5 stars read more
