I didn't get everything that it said on their menu on my nachos. I was excited to try this place and very disappointed on what I got! read more

Burrito King - My order receipt - Fast Food Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

See all

My fiancé and I make sure we always stop at Burrito King if we're ever by or in Lawrence. If you're from KC, it's like the Panchos of Lawrence. They're open 'til 3am and have delicious burritos (and other Mexican food). Our favorite item to get is the vegetarian chorizo and ask for no cheese or sour cream for our vegan ways. Sometimes we'll ask to add potato to it! The have 3 different sauces (mild, medium, and hot) and each of them are unique from another and tasty in their own ways. FYI: they have no inside seating, it's either drive thru or about 5 outside tables and benches. Another note, since it is a college town, be known that there will probably be drunk kids hanging around that joint after midnight. read more

absolutely insane that they got rid of the burrito punch cards. They show loyalty and dedication to this amazing place. Please bring them back. read more

Great food. Especially as a late night snack/meal. Best time to go is always at night.

When I went to college at KU, this was a staple of late night food as they are open until 3am seven days a week. Now, 15 years later, I went at 9:30 pm on a Saturday! They are also open at 7am and have breakfast burritos as well.There was 10+ cars waiting in the drive through. This tells you how much everyone likes it. I got the spicy burrito with lengua topped with salsa verde. Not exactly fast when there are that many cars waiting. Not authentic either. But still yummy after all these years. read more

Can't complain with fast food Mexican. Always a reliable option. Drive thru rocks. Don't drink and drive.

Amazing authentic Mexican breakfast tacos!!! Passed it on my way to work one day... there was a long line of cars in the drive-thru. I knew it would be good, but it exceeded my expectations! Highly recommended. read more

This place is great!!! Always the best choice for Mexican in Lawrence. They have outdoor seating only and drive thru, so it's low-risk for COVID. Staff are always super nice, and prices are great too. But of course then best thing is the food. They're so many options, and every one is as good as the other. Def go here if you live in lawrence or are just driving by!! read more

We came here twice this week for lunch. Our company gives us a company card to buy food so we all have a budget. We asked for separate orders both times and the girl keeps saying we're not doing separate orders right now.. ummm what does that mean? Why the heck can't you? no more for us read more

Lady was rude at the window. She told us to get away even though we weren't close to the window. Even if it's busy, you shouldn't speak to customers like that. read more

Hands down the best breakfast burrito ever. Especially coming after a long train ride.

I love burrito king don't get me wrong but it's 2 am on a Sunday and I just wanted a southwest breakfast burrito with potato instead of meat. I get there and it's cash only (understandable) so drive all the way to the bank to get cash... come back and order my burrito then get home and take a bite to discover chorizo instead of potato. Maybe if the speaker system was better quality, mistakes like this wouldn't happen. Im going to bed hungry, sad, and $9 poorer. read more

Some People might get mad or whatever I don't care . I gave this place a shot , wanted to see what the hype was all about . I ordered horchata , the everything burrito and nachos . I was upset the horchata didn't taste right , the food made me sick just my luck I guess, I went up to the window they charged the wrong order and the girl let me know "sorry he is drunk" really ? Did I hear you right ? Anywho I picked up my food and the "drunk guy " was super rude . The food was ok just wish it wouldn't have made me sick . I love food and this wasn't it for me . read more

The burrito's are big and tasty,don't waste your money on the tacos. Small for what you pay for them and not very tasty. Very skimpy on ingredients. Very disappointed. read more

This place is my home away from home. You can come here from 7-3am and that's what I need in my life. Their food is the best fast food out there and my favorite Mexican food to eat out. They have a stamp card so after every so many burritos you get one free. Eat here once and your life will be changed. And as a vegetarian, their menu is excellent. I would highly recommend their breakfast tacos. 11/10 iconic. read more

Burrito King - Burrito king at night time :) - Fast Food Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Went around 1130pm and it was busy. Like wrapped all the way around the building and into the main street. The two people working in there were quick as shit though no lie. Got 3 spicy burritos and they were fresh as I watched bro cook them right there, and they were good as fuck too. Will be back thru in the future if it's the same cook read more

I ordered the King Burrito with Chicken along with a side of their hot salsa and queso+bean dip. Everything was so good and I love the no contact drive thru! Will definitely be going back! read more

Burrito King - a burrito and a cup of coffee - Fast Food Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Great food! A Lawrence classic. Nothing like a late night burrito and some white quest from Burrito King. There's a reason that there is always a line waiting for burritos! read more

Coming from a place where there are never ending restaurants for fresh fast AUTHENTIC burritos, I NEED to get a good burrito from time to time. Sadly, I have been let down. I will start by saying that the service is quick and they were all really nice there. It was a pretty straight to the point. We got the bacon breakfast burrito, the chorizo breakfast burrito, bean n cheese burrito, and a bowl. Be warned that they LOAD the breakfast burrito up with beans so instead of there being a good mix with beans it ends up serving as a filler for the lack of meat and eggs that actually showed up in the food. If you've ever gone to an authentic place then you've had the delicious fresh tortilla, that gets a little crisp at the closings. Here NO, the tortilla is like a store bought mission one so it just ends up tasting processed and floury. After seeing people rave about being authentic, I was ready. This is probably a good choice if you've had a couple drinks and are left with no food options in Lawrence but even then meh. HIGHLIGHT WAS THE SALSA.... it was the best thing I ate. All in all I was left upset, my stomach hurt from all of the dry-ish beans that were in my burrito, and I am still on the hunt for fresh authentic burritos in Lawrence. read more

Love love love this place!! It never disappoints. Open late and everything I have tried is so good. They have great breakfast burritos too!! read more

The greatest burrito joint in the world. The number 21 with no beans and a hot salsa and a mild salsa is undefeated. Follow burritokingfanclub on instagram read more

DO NOT GET THE QUESO!!!!! Used to be so good but now it always burnt and not edible. All the other food is good tho

Burrito King ... Monarch of Most Mediocre Mexican Meal I love Mexican food and I like reasonably priced Mexican food even better. Enter Burrito King. I have tried pretty much every Mexican restaurant in Lawrence and have been sadly disappointed by the mediocrity ... and Burrito King did not let me down in that context. Just a few blocks from our home, I drive by the drive-in restaurant daily yet had not given them a try until yesterday. You walk or drive up to a window to order and I was quickly greeted by a friendly young man eager to take my order, almost too eager in that I did not have a chance to read the menu posted outside before being prompted to order. I was surprised to find numerous other options beside burritos on the menu ... tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas ... all at fairly reasonable prices. I ordered the enchilada plate (3 enchiladas, rice, and beans for $6.95), a "steak" and bean burrito ($4.98), and chips and salsa ($2) in order to sample just a few options. I prefer cheese and onion enchiladas and would think at the same price as meat (steak, chicken, pork) that there would be an abundance of fillings, but I was again disappointed. The red sauce covering the tubes of corn was bland and sparse, barely providing any flavor to the tortillas which were void of any significant fillings. I tasted no onions and the small amount of cheese inside did not quite make it it to the ends, leaving just tortilla and a little tasteless sauce for the first and last bite of each enchilada. The rice and beans were equally tasteless. The burrito tasted "OK", but there was very little "steak", mostly beans, with a little cheese, and some some lettuce. At $5, I would expect a bit more beef and cheese, maybe some guacamole. The chips were crisp and tasty and the salsa well done, appearing homemade (not out of a can or jar) with hints of poblano pepper and cilantro. Students probably love the quantities and prices offered at Burrito King, but for those of us who prefer quality over quantity, Burrito King falls short, at least on this visit.

I ordered a cheese quesadilla with a Diet Pepsi and I was so excited to enjoy my meal. They have you pay at the first window, which is also where they give you your drink. I'm type 1 diabetic and have had my fair share of mishaps with getting regular Pepsi rather than diet so I when I took my first sip, I noticed it was wayyy too sweet and asked to make sure it was diet. I even mentioned I had diabetes to ensure they knew that this wasn't just a preference, it was a medical issue. The lady who made my drink shrugged me off and "confirmed" it was diet. I was hesitant but didn't want to say anything since she didn't seem too bothered to help. Something they probably don't realize is that I have the ability to test whether a drink is diet or not. Well, low and behold, my blood sugar meter read 600, meaning regular sugar NOT diet. I'm very disappointed as I've been coming here since living in Lawrence in 2020 and was hoping for a better experience. The cheese quesadilla was still fire tho. read more

The best place you can possibly end your bender; top tier drunk food. It doesn't matter what you order, when it touches your lips it will light up your drunk world with happiness, satisfaction, and a sliver of hope that you'll remember eating this meal tomorrow morning and be grateful that the past, drunk you treated yourself so well. read more

Please do not come here. I did not like my order and nicely asked for a refund, the women became rude and made me feel very upset. Please make sure you know what you are ordering. read more

Sweet Moses, smell the Roses! This place rocks. The tamales are extra good and moist and seasoned just right but the tacos, oh man, the tacos! They were especially good. Had two of the hard spicy tacos. Will try the tongue tacos very soon. Goodbye Taco Bell and hello Burrito King, my new favorite drive thru Mexican food in Lawrence. I still like La Estrella best for authentic but this is quite good. read more

Let me tell yah. I have been going to Burrito King for 15 years. I grew up in Lawrence and went as a child. I have never had an experience like I just did. My friend paid for our food, and the cashier got the change wrong writing it as receiving $15 instead of $25. No big deal, right? Wrong, apparently. When she brought it to the attention of the woman, she started to yell at her and tell her she was wrong. My friend calmly explained how she knew that she handed her an extra $10 and she continued to escalate, also she wasn't wearing a mask and was learning down right in my friend's face. I have only seen an employee act like that on the internet. I truly can't believe it. We took our food and left. Really not okay. read more

I tried to give this place another try after recent multiple bad experiences after coming here for the last 4 years as a student. Today I ordered 2 burritos and an order of nachos. And we have them two completed punch cards so we were only charged for the nachos. Well after waiting and when we get out food we only have 1 burrito and the order of nachos. After explaining this we were cussed out by the employee for a few minutes as we explained we were missing a burrito. When he was given the receipt he said we were only charged for the nachos and started cussing us out again. As we explained we had given him 2 punch cards and that's why only the nachos were on the receipt. We just left to avoid further confrontation only for the order of nachos to be wrong and they didn't give us either of the burritos we had ordered. I can't recommend this place at all. Waste of time and money. Unless you enjoy being cussed at. read more

one of the few good places to get decent mexican food in lawrence! my personal favorite is their #49 torta with carnitas, or pastor/lengua tacos! Their queso dip is also so good. They are a business that is working hard during these hard times to keep their customers and themselves safe! i'm grateful for their hard work :) read more

I fucking long for burrito king. I would like nothing more than to stuff my face with a 4/10 burrito at 3 AM

I recently ordered one burrito from here, I tipped three dollars and then asked for a cup of water. They took the three dollars and then charged me for the water. Also, when I got home, my order was incorrect so I called them and informed them how my order was incorrect. They then said that not only did I need a receipt, but I had to return to the store immediately to get a replacement burrito. I give this place five stars, five stars that all collapsed to form the biggest black hole in the universe. I will probably return. (But not really) read more

Sry folks, the last 2 time I have gone very long wait at pickup window, then of all things got the order completely, wrong

This place pumps out food like there's no tomorrow; a very impressive, personable establishment.

Good visit at Burrito King. Nachos were tasty & beautifully prepared. Wait time was LONG! Decent staff, but not very helpful. They don't seem to like be asked about the menu. I'll be back & hope service is better. read more

I got food poisoning the first time I went here, but it was worth it. You just have to build up an immunity so you, your stomach, and your butt can properly function the following day. A college staple: cheap, good, quick. read more

Great burritos, yes, the kind to surely entice drunken college students at 2:00 a.m. when the booze has been consumed far too long. But that's not me. College is a long way in the mirror I'm afraid. Tacos. Yes, their delicious mouth watering pastor, carne, beef or chicken tacos, nicely wrapped and to order with what you want. Taken to go you get home and rescue them from foil and their nicely double-wrapped and still hot and moist as they should be. The meat is flavorful and seasoned properly. Normally I drive to Kansas City when I want great tacos, but Burrito King is decent for Lawrence--a town filled with more than its share of crappy fast food and upper-scale wannabe dining spots that aren't quite hitting the mark on a routine basis. Burrito King takes the pretense out. Fast Mexican food served by Hispanic folks that know how to make a meal worth the price. Honestly, if this food was in Kansas City I'd probably rate it a 3, but for Lawrence it gets my four-star rating. A great little spot that's just a little different in an area of town that clearly has the need for just this kind of food. read more

The other reviewers (um, like, no offense) are fools. I lived across the street for four years, and I ate here all the time--usually sober. Is it authentic, life-changing Mexican? No, it's not. But hey, this is Lawrence, KS, right? The veggie burrito is affordable, tasty, and comes with some pretty darn good salsa. And the tamales are a delicious surprise. My advice? Go sober, walk up to the window, enjoy. read more

Decent bang for the buck. Drive-thru burrito place. It beckons late night drunks like a moth to a flame. The cops should just set up a dui checkpoint two blocks away. Food quality is highly variable. I've had a few bad experiences (salmonella, overcooked rock-hard rice) there and probably won't go back again (or at least until I'm drunk at 2 am with car keys in hand). read more
