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

Best burritos for your buck in Gainesville! I love the combo of meat/ topping /salsa you can put together. Not only can this be a slightly cheaper alternative to somewhere like Chipotle, but it's better too!! Good customer service too! The only drawbacks are that chips/ dip are not included and there isn't much space to eat in. read more

Fresh food and delightful service! Great experience the only real place for this burrito stand to improve was the bathroom :). read more

If you are looking for a great alternative to some of the same boring burrito chains, look no further! I am always delighted by the quality of food and value of the mass quantities you are given. I recommend the nachos personally with loads of queso. Great option for a fast casual meal that will fill you up! read more

MEDIOCRE. Chipotle/moes/qdoba better by far. Not very fresh. Charge extra for everything, even some of the sauces. Bowl costs $1 more than burrito. Da heck? Penalized if I don't want a tortilla? Guac was brown. Very little seating. Employees were drinking alcohol on the job. read more

Well i didnt yelp long time but for this i will find time. The sign will take u in. But the taste will send u right back out. Taste of just plain food without anything wow in mouth. Chicken taste like boiled. Steak u can hardly feel it. Huge burrito but its mostly salad covered in burrito. Nothing special at all. read more

Burritos are pretty good. I especially enjoy the moist chicken and mango habenaro salsa. Service can be hit-or-miss and can really change the quality of experience/food. Have had better experiences for lunch. read more

My first experience at Burrito Famous, the staff took extra time to make sure I knew what the menu consisted of and how it works, they were also VERY patient as I inquired about all the sauces I was unfamiliar with and boy, was I pleased with my choices! -- I loved the chipotle ranch! (and still do!) Now I visit Burrito Famous often. The staff is friendly, the food selection is awesome and the beer is always cold! The staff are always happy to help me build the dankest of burritos! As a vegetarian, it's so nice to find a place where I am offered options beyond the typical "veggie burrito." mmm Tempeh! They also have good music playing inside and outside all the time. It's a great spot to hang out before (or after) a night on the town. Some reviewers like to compare Burrito Famous to the other burrito places in the area but I have to say that the home grown atmosphere at Burrito Famous shouldn't even be placed in the same category as the local chain resturaunts. Burrito Famous is truly Gainesville's finest place for fast paced service, great atmosphere and a really tasty meal. read more

Showed up at 10:55pm on a Friday night. They're supposed to be open until 1:00am however we were told they were closed and were turned away. I guess we won't be trying burrito famous for the first time anytime soon read more

The food is great but the service is so poor. All of the employees look like they want to kill themselves and it affects the quality of the food and experience you get from going there. They also never have the cool garlic lime sauce... not even in the back they just always run out. read more

We stopped on our way to TN. Family of five plus a dog. We all ate fresh and succulent burritos. We tried the fish and chicken burritos. We also had fish tacos and fish bowl. Everything was fresh and delicious. They even gave our little yorkie a free small serving of chicken. read more

I lived off of 34 street and 36th street and would ALWAYS come in late after work and/or for lunch on weekends. They had pinto beans and banana peppers but somewhere along the way they got rid of them as an option (bummer) the staff almost always were helpful and friendly. Almost. I'm a friendly guy and treat everyone with respect but a few times I have gotten a better experience with food ratios and customer service. So basically inconsistent across the board. Also a few times I got tacos and the troll curly haired looking gentleman who has been there forever just threw it together a MESS. It's not rocket science. Anyways I loved this place but they slowly lost me and I am no longer a regular at burrito famous. read more

The guy made my bowl was new and incompetent. Too much sauce and too little rice and beans. And I found a piece of acrylic glass in my last bite. Shame read more

Burrito Famous - Ordered a take-out bowl and found a piece of acrylic in my last bite. Shiiiiiit - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

First time here. We got 2 beef burritos to go. Staff was friendly and fast. Burritos were yummy.

As far as my star rating goes I was torn between 3 and 4. The food was okay, I ordered the burrito bowl an the portion was HUGE! They have a wide array of toppings to choose from. However, many of them are not fresh. Some of my lettuce was wilted & my jalapeños did not taste fresh. The meal came with a side of salsa and chips with a drink. I couldn't even eat it all. Overall the food was good, but I think I'll stick with Chipotle read more

Went with a vegan friend who recommended it, but can't say more about the vegan side as I was too busy scarfing down my own burrito to pay attention to his. The folks here are super friendly and made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in. I've never been here before, and when I mentioned that to one of them, he walked me through the whole process of putting together my own burrito, giving me recommendations on what goes well with what and asking what types of things I liked or didn't. And he knew his stuff - it was truly delicious! While I loved the food, it was the people and the place I really fell in love with. Fun and pleasant people (including some other customers outside), great customer service, clean environment - there's even a little sink by the back door where you can wash your hands after eating without having to go to the bathroom (useful as that was one of the most stuffed burritos I've ever had and it eventually collapsed due to gravity). There was even a cute little dog station outside across the pavement and under the trees, where you can sit in the shade and look at the water while your pooch gets a slurp of water from a large water bowl and munches down a dog biscuit. The more I saw, the more I liked the place. read more

I've been here a couple times and they give you a lot of food and it's cheaper than chipotle. It's a pretty small restaurant on the corner of university and 34th but it never seems to get too busy. There are tables inside and outside so you can sit wherever you please. I have a small stomach and always have leftovers. I still like chipotle better but this place is pretty good and cheap. read more

In town and needed a place that delivered. First of all I probably got 3-4 small pieces of chicken. Their cilantro lime rice is plain rice. Oh and I asked for onions and they put a crap ton of raw red onions? Hmm oh and no pineapple. Glad to know I just wasted 15$ and a bowl of rice and half of a raw onion. Don't recommend unless maybe you go there and watch them make it. Dissatisfied and disappointed. read more

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

See all

This place to me far surpasses Moe's and Chipotle. The burritos are delicious and huge and there are so many options for toppings. The server's there make your meal so quickly and the hours are convenient for night shift workers looking for dinner delivery later in the night. Definitely check them out! The only downside is parking can be limited during peak hours read more

Way better than Chipotle. I got the beer-battered fish (double fish) w/ maduros and garlic lime sauce on my salad. It was insanity in my mouth. Also, in an effort to compete with Chipotle, the burrito girls wore tank tops that were not unrevealing. I wasn't sure if the amount of boobage exposed was appropriate, but I soldiered on. There are a lot of options and less structure than the Chipotle-overlord, so we felt we weren't doing so great with our speed, but the burrito girl assured us that we were FAR better than what usually comes in. I'll take it. This is my current favorite restaurant in the entire world, and will be so at least until tomorrow. read more

A step down from Free Birds! Underwhelmed with chicken and corn salsa. Assumed chicken was grilled white meat. Nope. Cold dark meat mixture. Corn salsa lacked taste. read more

I just paid $8 for rice and beans. This used to be my favorite spot back in college because they'd give you massive portions, but it looks like they've changed things up. You used to get a black box filled with enough food for two meals, but I got something half the size of it with a third of the food. If their protein scooper was any smaller, it would be a thimble. Seriously, it is probably 1/2 or maybe a 1/3 of the size of Chipotle's. The quality of the food was more bland than it was flavorful, and they look to charge you for any additional item. For less than $8, you could get a bowl loaded with protein and veggies from Grill Fresh, Chipotle, or Moe's. Seriously disappointed to see what used to be one of my favorite spots in Gainesville turn into a mediocre, expensive burrito spot. Don't go here if you're hungry, spend your money somewhere that deserves it. read more

I ordered a taco salad. The romaine lettuce was dry, cracking, and turning pink. It should have been thrown away, not served. This place is for sitting outside and drinking beer. Do not go for the food...yuck. read more

Wow, color me impressed. What appeared to be a podunk shack turned out to be a true diamond in the rough. I pulled up to Burrito Famous skeptical but I left fat and happy. The huge variety of ingredients was complemented by a colorful cast of employees. The playful banter of the aspiring college grads rolling my burrito gave me quite the trip down memory lane. Friendly and professional, these employees crafted me a monster of a burrito, not to mention the 1 dollar BF beer. If you like good food and cheap beer then this place is the place for you. read more

This was great. Seating is limited but place is clean, cheap with friendly staff. Wide variety of fillings beyond the usual (tempeh, fish, steak and onion). Much better than a Moe's or Chipotle- it didn't feel like everything was chock full of MSG. I had the fish taco and the hub had a beef burrito. We both thought it was a winner and we will be back. We noticed on the way out that they sell local beer, Stumpknocker. read more

Best burritos and chicken bowls in town for sure! Much better quality and more selections than Moe's and Chipolte. A lot of great toppings and the mango salsa is fresh and amazing. Not much seating inside but lots outside. Staff are friendly, line moves at a good pace and price is really fair. Good bye Moe's. read more

I was an avid chipotle eater I went about every day for lunch but this place blows them out of the water. Their quality is top notch. Everything is fresh and you can see and Taste it. Service is quick. read more

This is a far superior local alternative to Chipotle and Moe's. It always tastes very fresh and delicious. The sauces and salsas are unique and fun to try. I've had pleasant experiences with the employees as well. I just wish it was walkable from campus! read more

I love the variety of fresh ingredients here. As much as it pains me to say, it definitely beats Moe's and Chipotle. You can't go wrong with a bowl, tacos, a burrito, salad, etc. It's too bad they don't have a better location because I think it would be 100x more popular if it was somewhere on Archer. read more

Awesome burritos! Love all the topping and sauce choices - the ingredients were all really fresh. First time ordering from here but definitely not my last! read more

Vegan friendly!! Staff was great. The guys were knowledgeable & helped me build the PERFECT vegan burrito. I will be back next time I visit Gainesville :) read more

Ingredients are fresh on serving bar but scarcrely make it to your plate in ratio on price to volume. I think lower price for the portions would better ;combo of chips, dip and drink is more of a rip off at $3.45. Atmosphere of a non modernize fast food restaurant with dirty outside restrooms. The food was good though. Drive a mile west to Moe's!! read more

Nothing like a burrito with plantains and Swamphead beer! Good food and good beer, the staff is friendly and informative for a first timer. Lots of options other than burritos, bowls and salads plus tacos! Down side is the inside is small but has plenty of outdoor seating. read more

I love coming here. The layout is a lot like Moe's. They offer cool things like plantains, avocado slices tempeh that you can put in your burrito. Their sauces are awesome, and their guacamole is very good. It's cheaper than Moe's or Chipotle and, in my opinion, a lot better. It's also a local business & I like to support that :) read more

Burrito Famous is owned by the same people as Relish, which I love. Unfortunately, this place was as huge disappointnent. The chicken is bland. They have a lot of sauces and toppings but I think the protein should be able to stand on their own. read more

Their mango salsa is delicious and the portions are huge. I come here often if I'm craving a burrito. Sometimes the service is a little eh, but most of the time they are really friendly. :) read more

Standard burrito bar restaurant, but I can vouch specifically for their catering as I have attended a party that used the service. There was a TON of food that all was ordered and arrived ready to stay heated and be eaten. It was a good value for the price, as I understand from the person who made the order and we had glorious leftovers for days. read more

Yes! It's like Chipotle but better! A lot more toppings and sauces. The chicken diablo is amazing. I usually get a burrito bowl because you get so much with it. I also recommend their coleslaw. read more

Went back with a friend who insisted we go. We were the only customers, and I guess the staff felt like that was okay to start talking about whatever amongst themselves. Overheard them comparing how many spiders and other bugs they'd found all over the shop!!!!! Dumped our food and RAN. read more

Cool place! I drive by this place every day going to and from work and I used to stop here once in a while when it was Subway. It's been open a couple of months now so I dropped in the other day to try a burrito. I got to pick out all the ingredients right in front of me in a build-as-you go format. I was not disappointed. It was very tasty and I like B.F.'s guacamole as well. Plus, it's reasonable priced. The only drawback is that it's located in a very tight dining room where the sun will make the seating area very hot when it comes through the windows late in the day if the blinds are not drawn. But for a quick, tasty meal at a reasonable price, this is a great place to go. read more
