I tried the beef, carnitas & chorizo tacos..all were flavorful & they really stuffed up each taco nicely ! I also tried the regular pork taco, personally I would go with the carnitas style.. not to say it was funky tasting or tough .. however the carnitas has that extra flavor. The young lady that waited on me was pleasant & double checked my order The restaurant itself was nice & clean. All & all no complaints & I look forward to trying the skirt steak burrito next time around. read more

Fat Burrito is a decent Mexican spot in Chesterton. The food was fine (not bad, not amazing), the service was great, and it was cute inside. I had steak tacos. The serving of meat in each taco was generous, but the steak was a little dry. I put some lime and guac on it and it was pretty good. Next time I'll try a burrito since it's in the name, and maybe I will love it more. read more

Fat Burrito Bar and Grill - Steak taco dinner - Mexican Near Me - Chesterton, Indiana

Went during a moderately busy night. (Taco Tuesday). Service was ok. I would have given them 4 stars. Food was pretty good but when I gave them a 15% tip on my bill $6 they changed it to an $8 and I was charged more credit card fraud anyone? read more

Good tacos. Chips and salsa are alright. The salsa could be hotter but that seems to be the trend everywhere I've been.

The food and service are good. It's a worthwhile lunch spot. Their neighbors, though...it's next to a cigar bar. Not sure who thought that was a good idea. It makes the entire building smell like a cigar. Not really Fat Burrito's fault though, is it? read more

If you. like to over pay for small portions, this is your place. They used to be way better when they first opened, but like all other places it was a bait and switch. It is no wonder their parking lot is always empty now. The food is decent but you don't get enoug to justify the bill at the end of the meal. God forbid you order for takeout, the portions get even smaller. Try to talk to an owner and you get nothing but the run around. They won't see another penny of our money. read more

Loved it !!! Delicious chips and salsa as soon as we sat !!! Margaritas were great!! Burritos were delicious! Fresh delicious avocado ! Perfect atmosphere- service and food! Bonus 5 minute walk from the Hilton Garden where we were staying... walked home after the margaritas made us tipsy !! read more

Had a hair in my also and the waitress said it wasn't a hair took it immediately and gave me more salsa. The skirt steak was bland and had no flavor I had a skirt steak burrito and it had no flavor or seasoning read more

Fat Burrito is a hidden gem. The cigar smoke from next door is near unnoticeable anymore with the filter system. They are always friendly. The spicy margarita is a must try! read more

TOO SMOKEY!!! eaten at the Fat Burrito in Highland and it was pretty good so thought I'd try another location closer to home. Service was good, food was ok, not as good as the other location. Meat in the burrito was burnt and the guacamole had no flavor. The reason I will NOT be returning is because of the smoke in the restaurant! There is a cigar bar next door and all the smoke is piped into the restaurant. I had to wash my clothes and shower as soon as I came home. read more

Let me start by saying that I am Mexican and waited a very Long time to eat here because I just don't think there's very good Mexican food in the area! My husband had the brilliant idea of ordering burritos from here and I gave it a chance! I ordered a steak burrito which is $12 to go. Got home to find out that 75% of the burrito was beans and I don't know what else it definitely wasn't steak! The burritos are very small here They don't give you any sort of hot sauce or anything with your to go order, they charge you for every little thing I'm sorry since when does Mexican food not come with hot sauce? Needless to say I was very disappointed and I should have gone with my gut feeling and driven the extra few minutes to ELL amigo which has decent Mexican food probably the best in the area!!! They also give you hot sauce!!!! PS the only reason they got two stars is because the young boy took my order was pleasant and extremely courteous otherwise one star!! read more

I will be back for a his soup. I seen others order this while there. Husband got the El Pastor pork tacos and would absolutely recommend them. read more

Skirt steak burritos taste just like the best in the city Favorite burrito around Duneland read more

Stopped in on our way to Chicago. It did not disappoint. Servings were huge and the food was delicious. Service was spot on. I loved the vegetarian options. I got the avocado burrito and it was so good. Wish we lived closer! read more

Stopped in for a late dinner while staying in the area. My wife and I both had the Carne Asada Dinner. The food came out pretty quick and was very good. The steak was cooked well and had lots of flavor. Everything was excellent. We had the fried ice cream for dessert and it was massive. Definitely a great value there, not to mention is was very yummy. Only complaint could be the service was a little rushed, which really was the only downside. read more

The pork fat burrito is Everything we tried was excellent. Salsa, very fresh and with very good flavor. Guacamole was on point! Again fresh with excellent flavor. The burritos were prepared well and really make for an enormous meal. Price points were great. $35 for two of us to dine. Service was so wonderful. We will definitely be back for more! read more

Nicest staff ever and the authentic food is amazing! I keep trying new menu items and I keep loving every bite! read more

The food is exceptionally bland, taco shells were stale, very little Complimentary salsa and chips, had a margarita and there was zero alcohol all flavoring and super sweet. Place smelled like a dirty ash tray, service was horrible. read more

Amazing food and excellent prices. Slowly but friendly service. Definitely will be back. Delicious.

It's fresh. But not enough seasoning, not much flavor . We carried out the taco salad so we could spice it up at home.

My wife and I thought the food was excellent. Traditional Mexican food but the flavors were a little more bold than other local spots. Service was great. read more

Food was great!! The restaurant was clean! Our waitress was friendly and on top of her job. The staff all seemed happy and had smiles on their faces. read more

Wonderful Mexican food! Their Far Burritos are amazing! However, the store next door is a tobacco shop and the smoke comes in heavily! The owner explained that they've changed the ventilation, sealed the walls, but it's overwhelming! Had to wear my N95 mask to breath. Owner kept apologizing. He said customers now get food to go. Feel terrible for them! Staff doesn't get tips and everything is brand-spanking new! read more

Unbelievable... you get one small (4 ounce salsa) and it's $2 for a refill. More chips is extra too! Better Mexican restaurants to choose are El Cantarito, El Salto, or Santiago's read more

first time coming in to do a take out order. was completely ignored. this is very bad customer service and a bad fort impression.

Food is great but service was horrible. Hope the place burns down but the kitchen staff gets out. No tip from me.

With out a doubt the WORST food of any kind I've had! I ordered the Beef,Chicken and Shrimp fajitas, you had to really look to find any of the 3 and then it was overcooked and underwhelming! Do yourself a favor and go to AJ's or Culver's you'll be far better off read more

Stopped in because I love Mexican food and wanted to try. Was seated and had to get up to find a waitress after 10 minutes. Maybe 10 total people in there. 25 minutes later my taco finally came. That was pretty good. Never received any chips/salsa even when I had asked for them. Server never returned to see if anything was needed and had to look for her again to get my check. Won't be returning and hope things get better if they want to survive! read more

The food here is delicious! I haven't had anything that I didn't like. I've tried one of the chilaquiles entrees, I've had the chimichanga dinner, and a variety of tacos - including the chorizo and the lengua. Everything has been delicious!! The salsa is top notch, the queso is so yummy! The guac is great, but needed a touch of salt, in my opinion. The margaritas are fantastic, too. And when it comes to service... IMPRESSED! The first time I came in, it was as a group of 8. Our server was Jenn and she was awesome. Friendly, gave great input when we asked for her opinions on things. The next time I came back, maybe a month later, I didn't have her as a server, but she remembered me and chatted with me a bit. We've also done take out and the food was hot and ready to go. I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. Highly recommend!!! read more

food is AMAZING! they are kind of pricey, but good service and amazing food. only come if you aren't on a budget though

While I understand this is a new place , went there today around 11:45 to try it out . Had take out and was told 35 min. Waited for it . I was ok with that .Put my order in paid for it and waited in my car . As I waited noticed people coming and going . Some people went in and ate and and then it was time to get my Order . Gal was on the phone taking a huge seven separate orders . She hung up with customer and said to someone they wanted to pay , all separate. I told them we were slammed with orders. And laughed . First of all I counted 4 separate tables with people. The restaurant wasnt even full. So finally waited on me , got my lunch and went to the park down the road . Beautiful day to be outside.Open it up, and it was huge ! A burrito of course.first bite and I was disappointed. It was cold . Something I wasn't expecting. Who wants it cold ? Secondly, the people I saw come in and eat was done eating before I even got my food . How is that right ? I order before they were even there. What happened to first come first served ??? It Shouldn't matter whether you walk in to eat or you take out whoever comes first gets to eat first that's how it supposed to be I think you guys can do better. read more

I tried this place out for the first time and it was SO good. I tried the gorditas with pork and my husband got the fat burrito with steak. The meats were incredibly flavorful and the other ingredients were so fresh and tasty. The prices are so affordable, especially for Chesterton. Highly recommend! read more

The only thing that I would recommend at this MEXICAN restaurant is the chicken tenders. It was aweful

overall okay service but had the worst food poisoning from it last night. will not be returning read more

Tried this place out last week. I ordered the fat burrito with a side of chips and dip. The burrito was massive (the size of a football) which was good because I was starving. The first 1/3 tasted great but the more I ate the more I started to taste a lot of seasoning in the meat which was throwing me off. If I had to rate the flavor of the burrito alone I'd give it a 6.5/10... but all in (size, flavor, value) probably a 7.5. Seems like a fun place so I plan to give it another try. read more

We went there 3 different times, the food was good but the service not so much. We went there during their opening week, food took a little long to get there but we told ourselves, they are just working out the timing. Went back a second time, not as busy, food still took at least 30 minutes to get to us but again, we thought, just trying to get the "bugs" work out. Try it for our 3rd and FINAL time, went in the afternoon, took at least 15 mins for our server to come to our table, and bring water. Waited another 10 mins for our server to come back but this time is was the owner. I am allergic to beans and nicely ask, may I substitute the beans for rice. She rudely answered NO!! I will have to charge you. What? Beans cost more than rice and all of the Mexican restaurants that I have ever been too and always done this. It is her choice however, being RUDE is unacceptable.....sorry, I will never go there again!! read more
