Food is very good, eaten several times. However, the size of their sides are small. last order of their fries was very disappointing considering it is almost $5 for 1 order via door dash. read more

OK we've eaten here to days in a row and each day the experienced just gets better. The service is great and the people are very friendly- the girl with the angel eyes and tattoo wings she's the sweetest asset!!! As for the food, it is excellent and the atmosphere is well worth it for lunch or a cool place for dinner. I recommend the diablo chicken burrito!! read more

My friends and I were looking around for a place to eat and came across here. Had heard from a bud that it was a good. My order was wrong. My friend had a rotten street corn and she found out once she already bitten into it. Her boyfriend ordered fries and then was told they didn't have any and was unable to get a refund and was just given chips. My boyfriend was content with his order. It seems to be hit or miss. Not sure if we'll be back. The service was subpar. read more

With the competitive market for Tex Mex flooded with alternatives (especially in a college town like Gainesville)-sometimes you can miss out on a hidden gem. Such was my case with Burrito Famous. I just started going there and have had three excellent experiences thus far. It's a small stores at the corner of 34th and Newberry and I must have driven by there hundreds of times and never stopped in. BOY, was I missing out ! It's a small burrito shop , with BIG flavors, very Fresh ingredients and many many options for the vegetarian and vegans in your life- while being able to satisfy the carnivores as well. Service is excellent, you don't feel rushed like at other "big box" Tex mex places - you can take you time and hand craft a masterpiece. Burrito Famous is now my Gator post game "go to" joint. Highly recommended! Must have the the mango habanero salsa. read more

It's not Chipotle. It's different. The Chipotle model is based on simplicity and quality. BF is about options and customization. With more free toppings you get more bang for your buck. The guac is 3 times cheaper too (@ $.60 vs $1.80) and it was good (made fresh, along with all their other salsas). I was able to build a burrito bowl with great, complex flavor combinations. For that, BF will be in my rotation. The meat quality will come down to personal preference. All the meat is shredded, including the chicken. I prefer grilled and chopped. Chipotle would take the edge in the meat area. read more

Burrito Famous - Salad bowl with spicy chicken and a bunch of works - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

The food was fresh and delicious. The service from the staff was wonderful. Whenever we are in Gainesville we will stop here again!!!

Maybe it's just me but I was very disappointed. I ordered a bowl and it seemed to lack flavor. The rice and beans needed salt. There are some other places that have better bowls. read more

Burrito Famous - A chicken bowl- just ok - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Burrito Famous is amazing and I really like this place. I think the food is dare I say it better than Chipotle. If you are from an area that has Qdoba then I think you will agree when I say this place is very similar. I have now had Burrito Famous twice and love it each time. The location in Gainesville is small and and you could not fit to many people inside. When you walk in you are greeted by a friendly staff member. You have the option of getting a burrito, tacos, salad, nachos, or a bowel. I have now had a burrito, and two bowels. When you go down the line they only have white rice and black beans, so if you are used to other Burrito shops where you can get different types of rice and beans, you cannot do that here. Then you choose your protean, the meat is really good. I have had both chicken and steak, both were marinated great and tasted great. You can also get pork, fish and other protean's as well. The veggies are great, the pico and mango salsas are my two favorite. You can get Guac but it does coast extra. They do have queso or you can get shredded cheese. You can also get dressings, the southwest ranch is my favorite. The price is comparable with other places in town. They do have a special on Wednesday for a burrito and chips for a cheaper price. They also sell coke beverages. I gladly recommend this place for good food. I have also had a breakfast burrito and that tasted amazing as well. read more

This small place impressed me. I went with a group of 4 adults. We each ordered one burrito. They are made to order (think subway for burritos) and you can customize it as you wish. If burritos are not your thing, you can make it a bowl for a dollar more. They have vegan friendly options available. I ordered a veggie burrito with white rice, black beans, guac, dairy free coleslaw, pico, and lettuce. They had plantains too. They were out of Tempeh this day. You can add chips for 95 cents which is enough for 2 people's. If you want salsa I warn you their "small" is the size of a sauce container (pictured). The salsa is very chunky, more like pico. They have come products, iced tea, and bottled Mexican sodas. Not a lot of indoor seating available, we took up 2 small tables. So if you come with a big party, the picnic table outside will be a better option for you. Or take them to go. Overall, I was impressed with the freshness of it all. I recommend. read more

Burrito Famous - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I got a veggie burrito and I don't know if it was the rice or beans or something else but it tasted like it was cooked in dirty dish water. Absolutely disgusting! The guacamole had no flavor and the queso was watery. Dirty inside and a bunch of flies around. Terrible across the board. They get 2 stars because the portion is large and price is good although you might end up with food poisoning... read more

Honestly surprised why they are still in business with Chipotle and Moes as competitors. Came in because I saw them on the GCM app and decided to get a pork burrito bowl and everything was average at best. I ended up getting guacamole but they gave it to me in the size of a sauce cup even though it was 2$ extra. Won't be coming here again anytime soon, unless serious changes are made. read more

Like this place. We get the bowls. Lot of choices on what to add. Guacamole is extra but they do a good job of telling you this and the price for the add on is reasonable. Overall prices are good too and the cash register person helped us get the best deal when we added chips and salsa and got a drink for next to nothing. They have a nice outside seating area with picnic tables that are kept up nicely and have a bowl with dog treats ready for your pooch to enjoy. read more

This place has a lot of potential but I've been there twice now and both times my burritos have been missing the ingredients for example jalapeños in the Mexicano. And another time went there with somebody else and they were missing a few ingredients in there as well. I really didn't feel the need to complain but I thought I would leave a review just so that somebody can see and maybe improve for the following customers to come. read more

Above average burrito, however the sides are significantly overpriced. Large chip bag size was laughable for the price, do not waste your money. Guacamole was ok. read more

This place is so good!!! We need more of these places near where I live! If I didn't live 3 hours away I'd come here almost every week.

Today was my first time there and I could definitely say it's my new favorite spot. The owners where really cool. They have a way to shelf order and pay , which is good . The crazy thing is me and my sister where doing laundry and we walked over to try them out . We ask how long it would take and told them we was doing laundry and didn't want our clothes to be stolen . The owner said he will deliver it to us on his skateboard. The food was so good got the loaded fries and two drinks . I went back and got guacamole and they gave me some chips to go with it . I didn't expect that but that was so nice of them . Would definitely recommend people go and try them out . It's worth the money . read more

If you or any of your friends are chiliheads like myself, stop what you are doing and go here now. They have mango habanero salsa that contains, get this...actual habaneros. And their habanero sauce also contains, get this... actual habaneros. Its fantastic. Small building, but as others have said there's outdoor seating if it ain't raining or if the Hogtown Creek isn't being smelly that day. Been there twice now. First time, I was besieged by the question 'what else? what else? what else?'. I know this is something that happens elsewhere, but it was damn annoying, especially since it was my first time there and I wasn't sure 'what else' my options were. I even mentioned that it was my first time there. And, it was later in the afternoon, no one was behind me to pressure him to rush. Except maybe the manager, who scolded him later for taking too long to spread tofu over someone's burrito (I got chicken the first time, fish the second). Second time, I was prepared. The customer in front of me was asked 8 times 'what else?', and his lady companion was asked 5 times (yes I counted). So when it was my turn, I recited on his first request the entire list of what I wanted. I guess they aren't trained for that, because I had to recite everything yet again, one by one, while still enduring the rude 'what else?' treatment. So being prepared only added the count to my 'what else' torture. I still loved my food. Pretty certain my 'fish' burrito was nothing but torn apart fish sticks. I still loved it and will be back. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. If your favorite place is Chipotle, Moe's or anything of the like, get ready to have a new favorite joint in town because BF blows them out of the water. The ingredients are so fresh, the chicken tastes like it just came off the grill and their chips and sauces are made in house every day. Please give this place a try!! My fav is the chicken burrito with rice, pico, pineapple, fresh jalapeños, queso, and a ton of cilantro. Then I get curry mayo and cool garlic lime sauces drizzled on top. Heaven. Ps. We had BF cater our rehearsal dinner in St. Augustine we like it so much. It was a huge hit! read more

You've got plenty of options at BF. From the different types of meat (including the vegetarian options!) to the various toppings offered, you could come up with a million different combinations. I really like that they have bacon, personally. They've got both guac and queso, which is sweet. Different sauces and veggies galore. And they PACK your burrito. How does it taste? Oh my. It's so good. I'm a self-proclaimed Chipotle addict but these burritos win any day of the week. Flavorful to the max. You're paying about $8 for one, which is a little pricey. But you get to pick your own ingredients, so I'm keeping the fifth star. The service is fantastic - really sweet employees - and the location is convenient. When I went, there was plentiful parking. A new favorite near UF. read more

Very impressed. The concept is much like Moe's but the quality seems a notch higher and the staff are very friendly. They went into an old Subway location and despite the small space have made great use of it, providing ample outdoor seating and some indoors, too, plus pic-nic tables out by Hogtown Creek in the very back. The food seems very fresh and they say they make everything there, which I believe. Everything on my tacos two days in a row was without complaint pretty much perfect and they offer enough variety to try a lot of different sauces and ways of fixing up your tacos or burritos. read more

Just save yourself the time and get chipotle lol girl said I will have to give you a little bit of each cheese because it will cost you extra, mind you I'm not getting any other toppings besides the two cheeses and Rice and beans. So in their logic I can have any other of the 10 toppings for free but the moment I want to different cheeses it's gonna cost me $1.25 extra. At Chipotle this would be free and would not cost me any money! Thank you! read more

Burrito Famous moved into the old Subway space across from Grandy's a few months ago, and seems to be running a good business. During lunch there's usually a quick moving line. There is limited and cramped indoor seating, but more seating is available outside. They have a nice seating area in the back next to hogtown creek. There have been times where it's rained and I had to finish my meal in the car. Their burritos are a step above Moes but not as good as Chipotles. The staff is friendly, quick, and best of all doesn't shout "Welcome to Burrito Famous" at you when you walk in. There are a few ingredients that they offer that are different from the aforementioned competition such a nappa cabbage, bacon, sauce selection (garlic lime is my favorite), etc. Out of their proteins, I generally go with the chicken or the steak and onions. The only thing I really dislike from Burrito Famous is their barbacoa. I've been too scared to try their tempeh as it generally looks really dried out and hard. While I like the food here, it's still not unique enough for me to really go out of my way to eat here. If I'm in the area and need some decent food fast, I'll swing by. read more

Probably the best and least sketchy Mexican you will get in Gainesville. Ingredients are FRESH. Service is good. Yes, it's quite gringo, but it's pretty tasty, and a million times better than Chipotle. And they have queso, which makes the lack of Qdoba in Gainesville a lot more bearable. I was not sure about the fish tacos, but decided to give them a go anyway. They were way better than I expected! Their options are super customizable and veggie-friendly. Only complaint: burrito toppings were a little bit disproportionate. They skimped a little on the garnishes that we had to pay extra for, which is odd. read more

Located where a subway used to be and similar in preparation but with burritos and wraps. I liked being able to instruct them to pile on the ingredients because I like a lot of food. There is outdoor seating so the whole family can come- hooray! read more

Love it. Frequent customer. The day they replaced subway may have been the best day ever. It also helps that is is right down the road from me, and therefor, extremely convenient :) The ingredients are fresh and diverse, although I'm not a huge fan of the steak (it's just not my cup of tea), but I'm sure others would find it tasty. Their chicken is my preferred meat; it tastes like it was roasted and then pulled, always moist never dry, and flavorful. But when I'm not feeling like overdoing it on the calories, I get the veggies option with tempeh and plantains. The best deal, by far, here is the burrito bowl. It's an incredible amount of food and I frequently will have leftovers for lunch. Full disclosure though, sometimes I can't help myself and I end up snarfing the whole thing! I'm definitely a sauce person so I love that they have several sauces to choose from to pile on along with all of the salsas and veggies. It's a really good delivery option for a group of people that all have different tastes, since everyone can get their own thing (I use 2 dollar delivery). Always a winner. Everyone I've ever brought here really liked the food, so if you're looking for a change from chipotle that won't break the bank, this is a pretty safe bet. read more

Better than Moe's and chipotle in my opinion. So far my favorite is the salad with chicken, beans, fajita veggies, cucumbers, salsa, and chipotle ranch. The food is excellent and they try to get you in and out quickly. Only downfalls is not much seating for eating there and parking can be a little issue. But the food and fast service makes up for that. Love it. read more

ChompMenus was featuring Burrito Famous. After viewing the menu I was definitely craving mexican. I normally go with bowls at these places just to be a bit healthier. On this day, only a burrito would do. Boy was it delicious. Avocado veggie burrito with sautéed veggies corn salsa rice beans tomatoes garlic lime sauce and some hot sauce. Was not disappointed. read more

Burrito Famous - ChompMenus had an ad for Burrito Famous. Went and got a burrito and it blew me away! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Food is good but the service for the past few years I've gone here has been pretty lame. The staff tend to look like they're there cause they have to be and they are almost as slow as subway sometimes. Today I ordered 5 meal items and they literally forgot 2 of them said "that should be everything" and handed it off and charged full price read more

First time here- the girl Working behind the counter acted as though we were bothering her since we had never been, and had questions. The food was just fine- we had a burrito, tacos and nachos lnone of us were impressed. read more

Great Burritos! The Classic Black VW Bug out front will draw you in and the delicious burritos will keep you coming back! read more

Chicken bowl: Large serving of rice and beans accompanied by one small scoop of very dry & bland chicken. Not impressed.

Decided to try this location because of good reviews. It could have been a fluke but I was very underwhelmed. The chicken (tasted the regular and the spicy) was chopped up slow-cooker dark meat.. Not that nice grilled top quality kinda chicken if you know what I mean. This is your run of the mill and a tad basic. I'm sure it's all kinds of antibiotic/caged chicken, peta nightmare. I digress. The employee behind the counter coughed on his glove- forgot the extra guac I paid for...and verified by asking him (nope, no guac).. My fault for trusting him. Jalapeños were cut way too thick and for an extra 15 minutes in line, I'd have rather gone to Chipotle. Most likely won't be back, I'd recommend an alternative if you're interested in quality. Burrito not so famous.. read more

Burrito Famous - pretty mediocre, chicken is fatty and stewed.. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

TREAT YOSELF. My coworkers and I have ordered through bitesquad a few times and I've always been SUPER SATISFIED. The philly steak burrito is a creative spin on your classic burrito and has not let me down. The guac was also delicious. I decided to stop in for a visit recently and was wowed by the customer service. The young lady working was super friendly and helpful offering to let me try things that I might want to add and after a mix up with my online order the manager on duty went above and beyond to make sure everything was stellar. Im a HUGE chipotle fanatic and this is one place I'd choose over chipotle any day. read more

I love this place. Their toppings are fantastic--I'm a fan of the plaintains and the lime slaw. Last time we were there the owner welcomed us and thanked us for coming. They've got some great sauces and a yummy mango salsa. This my favorite burrito place in town, hands down, and I've been ordering from them a couple of times a week. read more

I'm sorry this is so long. But the bottom line is that the service sucked. I came in a bit of a hurry there was 2 ppl at register & 2 ppl in front of me. Some guy started to ask me what I wanted & wrote it down on the styrofoam containers then he was called away. Fine. some other guy took his place abt a min later & I explained what I wanted again. He wrote it down again on different containers. He kept talking to his coworkers (interrupted )abt other orders & had to ask me again what I was ordering. Then he proceeded to make 2 out of my 4 meals. Other ppl started coming in having their food be made & my other orders were not being made. I had to get out of line to have another staff member finish my last 2 burritos & they were called away too. One of the staff members kept wiping his nose on his sleeve every 10 seconds or so. I was really grossed out but about this time I wanted to just leave that jumbled sloppy mess of a place & I didn't want to be late for my plans. So in the end I had about 3 staff members touching, making my food & they had no cohesion w their line. Not sure if they could handle 4 burrito orders in a row. The food was edible but the spinach tasted like old spinach that should have been picked through better cuz I'm positive it's bagged spinach that doesn't get rinsed. The meat was a bit dry but still ok. My daughter who was starving said her burrito was great but I know the poor girl got a dose of somebody germs (Disgusting I know) on the positive note I was undercharged for extra guacamole & sour cream cuz nobody remembered it & the inconsistency. Only 1 of the stafff members seemed competent. The other young men didn't give a --- or were low IQ. I don't think I'm coming back for the above reasons. They have a great PDQ across the street. Which is sad cuz There are few options in this very poorly planned area of the city. Traffic is horrendously bad in this area during rush hour. read more

Burrito wasn't complete. Missing 3 items on it. Hardly any meat. Mostly peppers. Ordered large chips with queso. Not included. Tiny container of cheese in with one burrito. Lousy job. read more

Sooooo good! I ordered the Mexicano bowl and it was huge. The meat was seasoned perfectly and the toppings were fresh. I wanted something a little spicy so this was a perfect choice. Not only was my food great but the workers there were awesome! No cheesy rehearsed greetings were shouted out upon entering, just genuine hellos and small talk. They were helpful, upbeat, and friendly. Wish they had one of these in Jax. read more

The tacos here are exceptional!!! The service was quick and efficient. My favorite topping is the mango habanero. It has the perfect balance between sweet and spicy. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and I'm definitely coming here again! read more

The food is incredible, so tasty and fresh! The guacamole and salsa is made in-house. The employees are so friendly and give great advice on what to get. read more

Lousy Customer Service. Decent burritos, but thoughtless about customers. Bad experience trying to order online tonight. Their website validated my delivery order, and charged my card for delivery. One hour later, no burritos. I had to call to find out that they wouldn't deliver to me, and that they wouldn't offer a refund. I have to go out of my way to get a refund from a third party. "Call chompmenu for a refund," they said, and gave me the number after putting me on hold. Thanks a lot, guys. I'll think twice before choosing you in the future. read more
