Nice spot for a burrito. The big one is a good size. They have come a long way since the opening of the first one that used to be in ranelagh.. Worth stopping by for a quick bite read more

Delicious Burrito, cheap, and they've got beer. What more do you want? Handy spot for a quick feed. read more

Burritos and blues was an early player in the Burrito market and that could explain how its held in such high regard. Now that there's stiffer competition out there, I don't think the burritos really match up at all... I went for a burrito bowl last time which was pretty watered down I thought, the beans were soggy and the rice wasn't the best either. Can't say the complimentary tortilla chips were better either to be honest. To top it all off, I wasn't a fan of the blues music either! Not an absolutely terrible spot by any means, I don't think it can compete with the competition though.. read more

I have to make a confession. I didn't grow up with burritos, and even in places considered excellent, I think having a slightly warm, limp wheat flour tortilla around fabulous meat and veg is actually not the greatest idea. I still enjoy burritos for the filling, and I need my starch so burrito bowl is not an option for me either, but the limp tortilla never was my favourite. Now at Burritos and Blues I tried the quesadilla which mentioned a toasted tortilla - and I do like toasted. For a moment I must say I expected some corn tortillas as with the quesadillas in Azteca, as wheat was not explicitly mentioned on the menu, but I could have guessed that. I also didn't realize I would give up on the beans which I do like a lot and the rice (which I can easily do without) for the privilege of toasting, but so be it, all the other good veggies were still in. They seemed to be a bit stingy on the portions, especially for the guac which costs extra (although I had a voucher so it was a fixed very low price anyway) - but it in the end I really really enjoyed the final product, although before the toasting I wasn't so sure if I would. The veggies were all tasty, the cheese was nicely melted as well, and the steak which looked a bit dry was delicious too. As for the salsa, I'm not sure if I got the hottest or second hottest grade in the end, was nice, hot, but not overwhelming. I couldn't taste the sour cream which was acceptable (and I didn't imagine it out of a squeezy bottle) - but I also couldn't taste the guac, which I wouldn't be happy about if I paid 70c for it. Maybe it'd be best to serve that extra in a little dipping bowl so I could go for it and actually taste it. Still, the flavours were great - the quesadilla had what I am missing in a burrito and I felt good afterwards. The music was nice as well, although it felt a bit weird being the only customer inside. The rest of the interior design was modern, but very unspectacular as well. Customers might change the atmosphere, but alone it was very lonely, there were no pictures on the wall and no reading material either which could have entertained me. I found a "Totally Dublin" magazine on my way out, but it was so badly placed that I didn't find it when I actually was looking for it. Still - the flavour was very nice and for sure I'll come back for the food. I'm ending up at 4.5 stars but because of the non-tasteable guac (good avocados in Ireland are hard to find) and the lonely atmosphere I decided for 4. I'll be back and revisit this too though! read more

Good flavours but lousy steak. Ordered a steak burrito with all the fixins and the Blow Your Head Off salsa. The flavours were very good - the salsa has a kick but certainly didn't blow my head off, the pico de gallo and guac were good - but the quality of the steak was really sub-par. It was very gristly and I had to spit a couple of chunks into a napkin because they were inedible. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and give it another try to see if it was an isolated case. I hope it is because if they get the meat right this place will be a fixture in my lunch rotation. read more

The quesadillas here are the bomb when they're done properly. One time I ate here, there was too much cheese (I think this was the problem) put on mine and the whole ensemble reminded me of the taste of vomit. But otherwise, they've all been good. The shredded pork is delicious. I had a burrito here one time and I wasn't overly impressed I must say. I've yet to try many of the other things on the menu but I look forward to sampling them. I think they could do with offering cheaper drinks too. I'm keenly anticipating my next visit. read more

right... burritos... Shhhh... can't really say that word out loud because every time I do, me and my other half end up having burritos for dinner... This is another of my favourite places in Dublin and i have to say their Silver Bullet is the best thing I've ever tasted. l have tried almost everything on the menu here, chicken, pork, steak, quesadillas, etc... but The Silver Bullet always wins... well, let me say that their steak quesadillas with guacamole are also pretty tasty... (note: guacamole and jalapeños cost a bit extra but it is totally worth it...) The other night I ordered the usual (Silver Bullet) but i wanted to try it in a bowl and I have to say it was very good, the only difference was that I didn't want any rice or the tortilla but the portion was the same usual as and that it was very tasty so if you fancy a burrito but a bit more civilised you could order it without the tortilla and/or the rice in a bowl... Staff are always super friendly, they do student discount and they have beer too! Needless to say that I'll be definitely coming back to get my Silver Bullet over and over and over again... read more

Reminds me a bit of an Indian version of Tex-Mex. It is probably just me, but the chicken definitely tasted like curry. While in Dublin, I wanted quick, cheap options and since Ireland is going through its burrito craze, I ate a whooollleeee lot of burritos. Overall, Burritos & Blues was pretty tasty, except for the curry spice taste. read more

Terrible. Taco shells are stale, gross, and brittle. Sad people think these are good tacos. Can't wait to get real tacos back in the US.

Ok, this is officially my new favourite place to eat in Dublin. It's the best Mexican food in all of Ireland. They have proper tortilla chips and taco shells, their salsas are brilliant, and they now even offer buffalo wings. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced and they are open till like 4am on weekends! read more

I had a delicious marinated pork burrito. Burn salsa is probably spicy enough for most people - level 4 is great and they will make you a level 5 on the spot. Very filling. Friendly staff. Open LATE. Cash only. read more

what can I say that hasn't already been said. Good burritos at great prices, 10% discount when you check in, and helpful and lovely staff - who were very understanding when we spilled beer everywhere. Yes, beer.. they do beer too. It's all good! read more

(Final draft... apologies) After a tumultuous beginning to our relationship, Burrito's and Blues and I have reconciled and I can honestly say the burrito I had here was delicious. After having a slightly disappointing first visit, I was convinced to return (by the owner no less) and I'm really glad he convinced me to! I'm still a huge Pablo's fan but its tough to compare as the burrito's are very different! I was recommended to try the Silver Bullet so I did and added guacamole as I'm a fiend for the stuff , it was seriously tasty. I was there with a friend and he really enjoyed his food too. I've gotta say, the thing that impressed me most about this business was that the owner himself took the time to contact me after seeing I hadn't enjoyed my food on my first visit. Good customer service is something a lot of Dublin businesses lack so I have huge respect for somewhere like this that goes above and beyond to please people. Kudos to you and much respect your way! I'd recommend the Silver Bullet as picking the individual ingredients of your burrito can be daunting to say the least! It is a bit messy, I'll be honest but I do say that messy food is normally tasty food. If you've had a negative experience here, give it a second shot. it may very well surprise you like it did me! read more

Love what they do here. Like some others, i think they have perfected the "hyper efficient, assmble-your-mexican" thing as patented by Chipotle Mexican Grill in the US. Like their attitude and general vibe in the place. Very handy if you're going to be spending time in Against the Grain, or any of the other hostelries nearby :-) Portions are generous and the food is good. read more

The staff were very nice and efficient, the food was served quickly and it was delicious. You get a lot of good food for very cheap! Remember to check if there's any student deals you can benefit from. read more

Great location, decent burritos but I think I expected more than a sort of cantine style for that name. Also I've been spoiled by Cafe Azteca which is really the freshest in town...Burritos and Blues is still a very decent place read more

This was just okay. I got the nachos and the meat was super greasy, and the chips were super thin. My husband got the burrito and I didn't like it. I'm not sure about the flavor. It interesting. It definitely doesn't taste like Mexican food in California or Mexico or Kansas. It's wasn't awful, but I bet there is a different Mexican/ burrito place in Dublin that is better. That's just my opinion, oh and, there super hot sauce isn't hot, so don't be fooled. If you like spicy you'll be disappointed. read more

I like it :) and best part, its a 5 min walk from my house. The burritos were good, fresh fillings, tried the no. 3 sauce.. but was not hot enough for me. Next time gonna try the No. 4. The decor is nice n simple. Staff was good too. The jazz music is an added plus. Edit - Tried the No. 4 sauce.. its hot. Great diff. between 3 & 4. read more

Got the silver bullet and was massively impressed,definitely becoming one of my favourite places to get a burrito. Open late on weekends is an extra bonus too following nights out. read more

Still trying to find a Mexican burrito equivalent to San Diego. Good guacamole. Good hot sauce. Okay burrito but it hard to care when you lived in Southern California. read more

Best burritos in Dublin. The ingredients are fresh, you can customize the burrito however you want it, and the staff are friendly.

I have frequented Burrito & Blues several times since it's opening. Being a Texan in Ireland, I frequently miss Tex-Mex food. While Burrito & Blues doesn't nail Tex-Mex it definitely represents good value for money, and a reasonably good approximation of Tex-Mex. My only complaints are that at times, the vegetables seem a little less than fresh and the salsas seem more like watered-down, over-chillied ketchups than anything close to real salsa. With that said, the #5 salsa packs a nice punch. I have been here dozens of times and will be back dozens more. read more

Went here once because I heard it was good. Never again. The rice in my burrito was greasy and oozing toxic yellow. It wasn't very warm and I felt sick afterwards. A terrible experience. read more

Yum! I'm a San Francisco girl who was visiting Ireland and getting a little tired of shepard's pie and pub grub, and wanting something that reminded me more of home and this hit the spot! I had a burrito bowl with carnitas and surprisingly it actually rivaled San Francisco Mexican food. Yummy meat, guacomole and salsa... I'll definitely be going back on my next trip. read more

You cannot beat Burritos and Blues for a decent burrito. Although it's not my favourite place to get a burrito in Dublin, the student deal keeps me coming back! read more

It was a little bit disappointing, not so tasty neither spicy, very crowded and no space at all for people, to be honest not mu favorite place the pro it's the student meal deal read more

Had to drop a star off my original review, standards seem to have dipped recently. The tortillas tend to burst quite easy, leading to a messy eat! And the number 5 salsa ain't hot enough! Still one of the better burrito shops thought! read more

This is where I go when I want to treat myself at lunch time during the week, or late at night on the way home. I haven't had the burrito in a while now but I remember liking it. My go-to dishes are the quesadilla and the burrito bowl. The ingredients are fresh and I can actually smell them cooking from my office window. The staff is always friendly and the place is clean. The only thing I would complain about is the amount put in the burrito bowl can vary with whoever is preparing dish and obviously I prefer when it's pretty full ! read more

Solid burritos. Not the best in Dublin but defo worth popping in if u are in the area.

Burrito and Blues was one of my first burrito experiences and every since then I have been an burrito addict! I have to say love the silver bullet you don't have to choose anything except the salsa and you are guaranteed the same great experience over and over again. Only thing about Burritos and Blues is that you have to choose you location carefully ... I found that the other two location let the name down lack of flavor and experience on a number of occasions I have beeen unsatisfied so I say only go to the Wexford St branch the original is always the best! A great bonus about Burritos and Blues is that they do amazing deals on groupon but they sell out fast!!! And even when you do use a voucher you still get the same experience as if you were paying full price. read more

So delicious!! I was traveling through Dublin after being abroad for three months and absolutely craving Mexican food! This place cured the craving immediately with a burrito bowl and cheese cubes! Oh the cheese cubes were little pieces of heaven! But in all seriousness, not only is this place super cool and unique - it's delicious. read more

Not sure why there are a lot of burrito joints in a city as small as Dublin but I'm glad there are. I was skeptical about Mexican food in Ireland. I've lived in California, Arizona, and Texas so I do have strong burrito opinions. Burritos & Blues lives up to same expectations I have of burritos from my aforementioned domiciles. Not the best but in town but better than most I've had. And that includes burritos I've had in Mexico. Really loved the salsa fries that I returned a few minutes later to get another order. Super friendly staff. read more

Great place for a bit of lunch. Good music, nice atmosphere, very colourful. I like how they have such a simple but versatile method of ordering your food too (laid out in easy steps behind the counter). read more

Easily one of the best finds of last year for me a number of my friends had been to Burrito & Blues and I was lucky enough to go in with them and ordered a Burrito and from that day I was hooked, just a brilliant place to have a reasonable priced and enjoyable filling meal with great food and enjoyable music and atmosphere,I will for sure be popping in some day soon to grab myself another Burrito :) . read more

Excellent chicken burrito, avoid the steak burrito especially if you have false teeth!!!!!!

I think the place is pretty overrated compared to the quality of the ingredients. This is a very average burrito. I was expecting more. The place is clean though. read more

Oh, dear. Who puts bean paste in a burrito? If I wasn't a student and had to pay full price, I would be pretty upset about my lunch choice. If you're looking for a good burrito, I'd try elsewhere. read more

Amazing burritos! Very friendly staff - I couldn't get my coupon for free chips & guac to load but they gave them to me anyway :)

The place, although it doesnt feel very much like a typical mexican restaurant (i.e. Azteca), still serves a pretty decent meal. I think the burritos can benefit from a little more flavor, specially with the Pico de Gallo they have but in general, I can see myself eating there again. Staff is friendly and the location is good enough. read more

I dont waffle alot on these reviews(like most haha) so ill just spit it out. below average, dry meat, luke warm burritos. way better out there. good after a drink if it was open. ha...they need to better with the new mexican places opening..meh read more
