Cute place in Duluth. A definite try. Coming from Milwaukee, I was excited to find a place with Bloody Mary's so we were off for Sunday Funday! The Bloody is OK, not what I'm used to but not terrible. The burritos however, that is what you are going there for! I tried the Empire steak burrito and my companion had the buffalo chicken burrito. Both were really good. The salsa is very good! We tried the pico and the garden. I will definitely be back. Great atmosphere for a game too! read more

Love the variety of salsas and beer at this place! Burrito bowl was tasty and service was friendly and accommodating

My Al Pastor tacos were cold and soggy, the chips were stale and the guacamole was the worst guacamole I have ever had in my life. You'd be better off going to Qdoba. read more

so disappointed!! :( Ive tried this place a couple times a few years ago but I tried it again tonight and I don't think I will ever go back. The gave me salsa but forgot my chips and my burrito was literally 75% beans and a spoonful of meat in one spot. I really just paid $15 for a burrito and it did not taste good :/ read more

My burrito was very bland, no flavor at all, they put way to much rice in the burritos as well. Not only that but it was way to loud. The only thing i enjoyed on the menu was the margarita. Service was great though. read more

After coming here a few times, I am always leaving this place shrugging my shoulders. The food, service and restaurants are bland! The beer is trashy Fitger's beer. Have not found a single beer that I enjoy. Simply refuse to buy a beer here now. Servers seem more interested in chatting with their friends then actually doing their jobs. Food always comes out slowly. I like veggie burritos, so I usually go with the vegan socialist. But it always tastes like grass. The burritos don't really taste like anything unless you cover them in the salsa. Chips are cold and sometimes soggy. The Turkey burritos that everyone hypes in November are so OVERHYPED. They are very dry and overpriced! Burrito places are few and far between in the Twin Ports area but I recommend Sir Ben's for a better burrito that's nearby. Don't waste your time and money here. read more

We ordered wings, empire builder, rackner and al pastor. The burito is quite delicious and spicy. If you love a very spicy food, al pastor is for you. The price is affordable and the service is quite good. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A nice Mexican restaurant in Duluth! read more

If you're hungry for a BIG burrito, I wouldn't suggest coming here... The only way to get your fill is to empty your wallet on the Rasputin at an astounding $14.99 I came with two buddies and we were all very hungry, so we ordered the large burritos. As I was served my burrito I was given like 5 chips on my plate, and they spilled three of them on my lap. However, in their defense, I did get more chips, but I wish I could have been given more burrito as well... Over all, good tasting burrito, bad size. read more

Burrito Union - Mexican Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

I went here for brunch on parents weekend. We are repeat business for Burrito Union. We were fortunately served by Greta. What a great server! I loved the breakfast burrito and Juevos Rancheros! The Juevo Rancheros had amazing flavor and could have fed two linebackers. Two other breakfast places in Duluth had huge lines and honestly, this place wasn't our first pick, but I'm sold on good food, great service, and Greta! read more

Beer was fantastic, food mediocre at best, timely manner horrendous.... Server didn't even check on us until we wanted our bill.

Went to this fine establishment on the day Duluth had Grandmas marathon. It was quite busy. We got sat down within 10 minutes. We got the apricot wheat beer which was delicious! Then got the spicy redhead burrito and Hawaiian bu burger. We hoped these would be spicy but they were quite mild. The food is alright but the beer was great! The atmosphere was on the louder side. read more

After spending the day in Duluth, my fiancé and i stumbled across Union burrito. Unfortunately, it was a bad way to end a gorgeous day. We ordered to go, as the patio was full and we are from out of town. I ordered the ding nachos with shrimp and got neither the "ding sauce" nor the shrimp (4.99 extra) along with a generous portion of plain tortilla chips. My fiancé got the "smoke show shrimp tacos" which claim per the menu to be chipotle brown sugar shrimp that are served with lettuce, diced tomatoes, Parmesan and a side of guacamole. The tacos instead came with 3-4 slimy taco seasoned shrimp on a dry bed of lettuce and a sprinkling of tomatoes, no Parmesan, no guacamole, although I don't think either would have made the tacos any more tolerable. It also took 45 min only to be dissatisfied and left to feel like suckers paying 29.00 for that garbage. Had we not already been on the road, we would have gone back for a total refund . 0 stars If i could . We will not be back. read more

Service wasn't bad but it took over an hour to get our food. After getting our food 2 of our burritos we're not made as requested and tacos were ice cold. The one burrito that was made correctly was very good but for waiting over an hour, incorrect orders and ice cold food is unacceptable. read more

I really wanted to like this place after we received recommendations. Knowing the challenges that restaurants are facing during covid, I want to be respectful of the fact that the portions, ingredients, concept, etc were all on point. But it lacked two simple yet critical components across the board: Salt & Heat. We ordered guac, queso, chicken burrito, and carnitas burrito -- and feedback covers all four items. If BU can ensure these two key aspects to preparing solid Mexican/Tex-mex food, I'll be ordering again. read more

Great service, food, and community. Chris was our bartender and made the experience enjoyable and memorable. He had great banter and tunes. Overall a solid experience. We will be back. read more

I'm from Minneapolis and place used to be a staple on all visits to Duluth, but probably not anymore. It's changed in the last few years, in ways that don't particularly appeal to me. Gone is the crust punk/student vibe. Gone is the Soviet kitsch menu design. They have expanded the menu and added things like cheese curds and elote bites, seemingly at the expense of their existing menu items. I can name 4 or 5 restaurants nearby where I can get cheese curds, why here? Meanwhile, the quality has of the other menu items has gone down. I used to love the Ding nachos, but the last time I got them they were flavorless, cold, and had inexplicable pieces of celery spread throughout. The burritos have gotten increasingly unremarkable and flavorless as well. Last time both my boyfriend and I received water with dirt floating around the bottom, which was massively unappetizing. I'm not sure why management has decided to take Burrito Union in this particular direction but I'm definitely not into it. This is unfortunate because I used to love this place, but don't plan to come back again after my last few visits. read more

Great service super friendly staff and lots of vegetarian options. Plus great bar and happy hour .

5 stars all around. This is one of the best spots in Duluth. Let's cover the burrito basics: 1) Fresh ingredients - YES 2) Ample proteins and "good stuff" - YES 3) Great salsa - YES 4) Quirky fun crew making your Burrito - YES 5) Fun atmosphere to eat said Burrito - YES Beers on tap, game on to watch and hot, fresh, well made Burritos. Stop in to see locals and travelers alike be happy eating fresh, sort of healthy, tasty food! read more

My first time going yesterday evening with a friend. Food was very good and happy they have some selection other than beer from Fitgers as it has been hit or miss depending on the beer I get. Service left a little to be desired but I am sure with COVID the servers were busy helping with togo as that is much higher in demand and more important than dine-in so that is not a knock in my book. Will come again! read more

Let's see...I'm in Duluth with youngsters and we'd like to go for a light hike and eat but we're sick of crowds in Canal Park and kinda think some of the family places there are not so great. Go here. Just a 10 min drive to this place. Take it to go and have a picnic on Chester Creek across the street. Think 'why haven't we done this before.' read more

We're local, so we have been here before, but it has been awhile. We were looking for something tasty and fresh, and Burrito Union did not disappoint! I got the "Ding Nachos" with shrimp, and I had no idea what I have been missing! What an interesting and flavorful dish! Hubby got a mammoth jerk shrimp burrito and my son got beef tacos. I guess my only "complaint" about the food would be is that his tacos were really greasy (pictured). He didn't eat much of them but we'll reheat then at home on a paper towel. Otherwise food was fantastic!! Service was friendly, but not too fast. I watched food sit ready to be taken out for a long time the whole time we were there and we waited almost 10 minutes for our beer. Thankfully we weren't in a huge hurry or anything. read more

A great place My princess got a veggie socialist burrito Didn't like it at first Picked it apart I like the tri layer dip and my build your own burrito was amazing Great place but my burrito came out slow Cool place in Duluth Kinda loud and rowdy and full of some drunks But everyone needs a place to lounge and be loud read more

We came here when we visited the North shore. It came up because we are vegetarian, and I will say that it's not very vegetarian friendly up there, so it was a pleasant surprise finding this place. It is a very cute decor; I would say, it doesn't match the theme of Mexican food, but it is still very rustic, cute look. We started with the salsas, guacamole, and quest which were all great. The spicy salsa was great! A lot of places do not have the spice I am looking for, but this had the kick that I needed. My son got the quesadilla with black beans which he thoroughly enjoyed with dipping it in guacamole. In addition to the appetizers, we also had the deep fried avocado tacos which were great. If we come back, I will definitely be back for the tacos. The downside is that my dad and I ordered margaritas and they were not good. They didn't taste fresh. I will not be ordering drinks here again. I would definitely recommend this place to others if you are vegetarian or not. read more

Burrito was bland had maybe 5 pieces of steak not to mention my fiancée forgot to take my card back and the employees is trying to tell me he looked for it which was a lie I was sitting right outside the hole time he was supposedly looking for it read more

Very very slow service, long time wait for food and food Not really good !!!! Better in go to junk food to eat read more

Not the brightest bulbs. Ordered online, very clumsy website. I arrived to pick up my order. Took a while for anyone to acknowledge me. I was told that my order was coming up. 10 minutes later I'm told the same thing. Stood there about 20 minutes in total. In the mean time I watched approximately 8 different people come in and be told they weren't serving food because they were "3 screens full". Various Door dashers came in and their orders weren't ready either. Finally got my food. Ordered a taco dinner to feed 8, comes with two proteins. The proteins were cold and barely enough to serve 4 in total. Sure were enough tortillas. There were an inordinate amount of tortillas however. I estimate there were about 60 tortillas. Ordered a Fat Capitalist burrito as well. It's supposed to have carnitas, cheese, red onion, salsa, and sour cream. It did not. It literally was 90% rice and we counted 4 little chunks of what was supposed to be carnitas I'm guessing. That was $13. Seriously was upset Food was meh, price was not commiserate to quality and the service sucked. Also here is a little tip to the staff. We didn't serve in the Army together nor do we work in the same ER. It's "I'm sorry Sir" not "Sorry man". A modicum of respect, especially after the poor service and terrible food is not much to ask. read more

I don't love this place as much as I used to. We ordered ding nachos without cheese and it came with very little ding sauce (maybe they should have added a little more sauce since we don't do dairy?) and a tablespoon or two of salsa (yummy salsa) on the side. Really? Two tablespoons? Is that enough salsa for four people sharing the ding nachos? The music was LOUD and we found ourselves shouting to our guests across the table. SHOUTING. Everybody else in the place was shouting as well. I guess I don't see the attraction of not being able to carry on a conversation with the people with whom I'm dining. Besides, shouting gives me a headache. The place should have been crowded on a Saturday night, but it wasn't. I can remember coming to this place when it was packed all the time. I thought our burritos were good and we adored our server, but I can't see this as being a place for us any more. It breaks my heart because we used to love Burrito Union. When we went out, it was always to Burrito Union. Ah, well. Duluth has other places, but I miss the old Burrito Union. read more

Loved this place, came here on a suggestion of a friend and I really wish they had one of these in the twin cities. Not only is this place reasonably priced I love that they have vegan options! I had the vegan burrito bowl and it was delicious! Also they have Fitger's on tap! Can't get any better than that c: read more

Burrito Union - Fitger's Beer and vegan socialist bowl go great together - Mexican Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

While service wasn't anything special, the food was super good! Vegetarian/vegan friendly, but tons of options for the carnivore too! There's not a lot of seating, so if you're going during a weekend get there early if you can. The atomosphere is definitely more of a bar than a restaurant--so it's loud--but don't let that scare you away. Everything was delicious! read more

Al Pastor tacos were awesome! Classic marg hit the spot while enjoying the pineapple habanero salsa. Very friendly service!

Most disappointing $12 burrito ever. Ordered the "Pyeongchang" special burrito. It was plain bland white rice with no seasoning, a tiny amount of curry sauce with no spice, and a little bit of pork. A shot glass sized portion of bland mild pico came with the side of chips, which only covered about 4 of the 25 chips. I felt forced to put standard Sriracha on everything, which made it taste like a burrito I could have made at home. My friend was charged an extra $1 for an additional side of the bland pico. Fresh salsa should come in abundance in a custom burrito place.... Also, the burrito was about half the size of an average Chipotle burrito. I'm still hungry, which is not how you want to feel after a $12 burrito that you just waited 25 minutes for (why does it need to take 25 minutes to wrap a burrito?) This place does not understand yummy food and I would not recommend eating here. If you want a good burrito, skip this place. I feel hungry because the portions were too small, and I feel unsatisfied because flavor was so bland. Really disappointing:( read more

I hope they improve, they have a great opportunity with little competition to serve great tacos. I've tried this place a few times and each one was a it's. The food takes anywhere 20-60 minutes to be served, typically 40+ minutes. The margaritas are good, though, I support dining in for these; even though the service is, again, very slow. Now, when you're served, it's probably going to be a variation of what you ordered. Food allergies? Don't bother, they haven't kept an order straight for me once. Bummer. Good luck guys. read more

A few buddies and I came to Duluth for a bachelor party weekend, and stopped in here for lunch. The atmosphere is cool and unique but the food was average. I got a personal burrito, asked for no beans; they started off by bringing me someone else's burrito, then mine that had beans that I had returned, and once again came back with beans again. On top of a 20 minute wait for the bill, I would HIGHLY recommended you find a different restaurant in Duluth. read more

Was in yesterday. Amazing service as always. Our server was so nice and attentive. I absolutely love this place and the food here. Seems like they may have changed the nachos just a little. I realized that they added onions to them but is still tasted amazing. I tried to call for delivery but for some odd reason they stopped delivering....Why ever did they stop delivering, this makes me super sad! They need to start heating their queso dip up alittle more though. After about 5 min it's getting extremely thick. Over all its still amazing food and the service is still top quality. read more

I've heard so many things about this place so I finally tried it. I was super excited to do the "Russian roulette" because I love salsa! I got 2 salsas that were mediocre and guacamole. 1, like I said, the salsas weren't good. 2. I didn't want guacamole I wanted another salsa. I got steak tacos which were the worst tacos I've ever had. They were supposed to come with chips and salsa which I didn't get. Then I ordered a quesadilla for my boyfriend, which was supposed to come with salsa and once again!! Didn't get it! Ordered a large side of queso Didn't get it. I will never go back. What a waste of money and time. read more

I am sad to be changing my review from 4 stars to 1, but I think it is more than warranted. I stopped by last night for take-out. When you are doing a "build your own" style burrito, they no longer let you walk down the line and tell them what you want (like Chipotle). I was dubious that my order would be correct after repeating it to the order taker 3+ times without seeming to break through his confusion. I tried to keep an eye on the makings while I was waiting and saw one of the workers put chicken on a burrito, then swear and remove *most* of the chicken. I said if that was mine, I didn't want it since I'm vegetarian. He snipped and said it wasn't mine and just kept on going - so they delivered a supposedly vegetarian burrito with bits of hidden chicken to some other customer who is likely veggie as well. Lovely. Once we got our burritos home, 2 of the 4 were incorrect. I am so disgusted that someone would serve a "vegetarian" item to someone knowing it had meat in it. I don't plan to ever go back to Burrito Union, which saddens me since I previously loved this joint. :( read more

Terrible food small portions and very small burrito. We had the thanksgiving burrito and it was over priced and over rated.

So i ordered a peach margarita, it was kinda fun. But cmon we know what we were really here for. As a nacho connoisseur I must try a Mexican food restaurante's nachos. 7.9/10. Quality stuff here. Hefty amount. I suggest an addition of the ding sauce (10/10 sauce). First plate I didn't fully finish that's how much they give you. Perfect amount of everything. Loved it, as you can see by the score. read more

The veggie quesadilla was very good. Tons of cheese and lots of peppers, onions and even squash. However the food took a very long time to arrive. read more
