    a group of people preparing food
    Logan B.

    If you're looking for a quick place to grab a healthy meal, would recommend you give Currito a shot. First of all, the portions for the bowls are HUGE. They also have premade bowls, smoothies, and shakes. Secondly, the variety they have here is crazy (check out the photo of their ingredient bar). I have yet to find the perfect combo for my create-your-own-bowl, mostly because I'm too excited by all the possibilities and flavors!! Like for example, they have like 10 different sauces. The person helping me out today told me to either mix the salsa or guac with the house hot ... I did the salsa and it's hot, but gooooddd. The service in here is good. They are quick, nice, and organize your bowl all pretty-like. They play some cool music to set the mood inside. Lots of seating at a bar top or a table if you're coming with company. Also, there's tons of parking next door and on the street (3 hour limit for customers). Let me know if you created a bowl that is incredible - asking for a friend

    Hair in my food

    There was a hair in my take home vinaigrette disappointing an incredibly expensive. Unfortunately the staff today also was not attentive and had a line of people waiting to order before they noticed we were there.

    BUFFALO

    The food quantity is not adding up to how much they charge you. I had a buffalo bowl and it was half empty. They've become stingy with their portions and it's not worth it for how much they're charging you. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. $12.46 for this ? Unacceptable.

    Empty Currito, weekday at lunch.

    This used to be one of my favorite places to grab a delicious healthy meal. The restaurant was clean, the staff friendly and attentive and the food fresh. Not so anymore. There may or may not be staff who may notice when you walk in. I have had the unpleasant experience of witnessing a verbal confrontation among staff at one visit. Today when I ordered a Harvest Grain Bowl the arugula was yellow and slimy, not fresh in anyone's book. I ended up picking it all out because it looked too sketchy to eat. I had to look hard for the sweet Potato and the portion was sad, and most of it was drowned in way too much salad dressing. I understand now why this place has been empty the last few times I have visited. I love to support smaller businesses, but I am through with Currito.

    Classic bowl - pretty good

    The wife has wanted to try this place for awhile and it looks to be on the healthier side for a quick bite so we decided to put in an order for take out. The place is clean with extremely friendly staff who greeted me on the way in and on the way out. I didn't order at the restaurant but it seems to have a Chipotle like ordering system/vibe. Food was ready in under 15 minutes - great service! I got the classic bowl with chicken and after the first bite I also had comparisons to a Chipotle bowl (although I haven't had one in awhile). The classic was good and just the right amount of food. I would get it again but would probably want to try some of their other items as they have plenty of options that look good. Wife got the Bangkok and I had a bite of hers. Also really good and would consider getting that in the future as well. $10 for each of the bowls - $8 for the bowl and $2 for the chicken. Kind of what you'd expect. It was good and for (what are least felt) like a healthier option, I will definitely be back to try some of their other bowls at some point, but not something I'm going to be having huge cravings for either. Shout out to the incredibly friendly staff!

    Bangkok bowl
    Nette B.

    First time here since my daughter suggested it. A little far from us but want to try. It seems like same concept as Chipotle. You can choose bowl or wrap. They have salad choices as well and healthy smoothies. I got the Bangkok bowl with steak. It has rice, peanut sauce, and aome veggies. I wasn't impressed at first since the veggies and the setup seems dry. Once i mixed it and first taste. It is amazingly delicious. Perfect combination on what they put in the sauce and the veggies are crunchy. My daughter had the buffalo wrap and it was good too since i had a bite of it. The smoothies taste delicious as well. There is public parking at the back of the building so that's a plus. The staff are really nice too. So definitely this is one of the food choices I will have especially if they open one near me.

    Bangkok bowl ($8.79) comes with cilantro lime rice, cucumber, carrots, almonds, Asian cabbage, sesame seeds and Thai peanut sauce

    BURRITOS WITHOUT BORDERS This trendy spot in Elmhurst showcases lots of flavors from all over the world. I attended Currito's grand opening way back in October 2017, plus a handful of visits sprinkled in since then. This location is right on York Road just south of North Ave, nearby a Panera and across from Angelo's Ristorante. You can build your own creation or stick with one of their international ideas, like the Mediterranean or Bangkok. Options include a regular burrito, small burrito, rice bowl (no tortilla), or salad. All things considered, prices are pretty steep. The small chicken tikka ($7.50) came with lime rice, curried chickpeas, tikka masala sauce, and cucumber tahini in a flour tortilla. Very tasty, flavors mingled together nicely. Kind of expensive given that it was a 'small'. A few weeks later, I tried the buffalo chicken burrito ($7.50) that had lettuce, shredded carrots and blue cheese dressing. Aside from being super basic, it tasted just okay, not something I'd get again. Again, it was fairly small for the price. I added chips & salsa + a drink for an extra $3.29. Be aware that their "hot" salsa is ¡MUY PICANTE! and something not to be trifled with. I'd advise on the medium, as their hot is made with very spicy habaneros and borders on inedible. They advertise smoothies & shakes, though in reality only 2 flavors of shakes are offered -- and both of them involve Nutella (blecch!) C'mon guys, even Five Guys has like half a dozen varieties. Gotta diversify that shizz! * TL;DR * I like what they're doing with globally inspired creations, but I'm not convinced that paying almost $8 for a small wrap is really worth it. The quality is several steps up from other chain-based burrito places, and the cost definitely reflects that. The bowls are a great option for those who don't mind paying a bit more. Currito needs to expand its shake portfolio to really make them stand out among the rest, but it's nonetheless a solid alternative to similar spots. Good stuff.

    Monterrey with Thai peanut sauce and spicy cashew dressing. FANTASTIC

I think they may have removed the vegetables from the kebab with the undercooked chicken because they tasted funny. I only took a few bites and had the rest of it wrapped up. I got very sick that night. Pretty sure I had a tinge of food poisoning.
