Chipotle is a WASTE of money by comparison, with loooong wait lines. Hot Head has many bold flavors completely missing from Chipotle. I had barbacoa with mixed cheeses, red onions and cilantro and it was delightful. Make sure to add their special spicy sauce: a good kick in the taste buds without being weaponized flaming of your mouth! Barbacoa is "spicy" but is really more bold and zesty without much heat by itself--the Hot Head spicy sauce is perfect for boosting the deliciousness. I can never go back to Chipotle. Completely bland by comparison. Highly recommend Hot Heads--also known for supporting military from Eglin AFB locally. P.S. don't forget the dual layer brownies with fudge and cookie flavor! And the big chocolate chip cookies. Only 1.50 per cookie and 3.25 per brownie; other places easily charge double. Sara suggests asking for them to be toasted--they become gooey sensations not to be skipped! read more

Hot Head Burritos - Main menu - Mexican Near Me - Mary Esther, Florida

Ive ate here 5 or 6 times. Every single time the food in the hot pans look dry and old. The chicken is always burnt and old with some good pieces hanging around. Staff is ok. Prices ok. The rice almost broke my teeth twice. Hard as a rock. The positive is the sauces are good. Place is pretty clean. read more

My order was made in a timely manner, and the ingredients were very fresh. The "Wild-Hot Salsa" partnered with the "Reaper Cheese" were excruciatingly hot. Your taste buds will SCREAM, and tears will flow ; but an addictive pain. Be prepared. The tortilla chips were super crispy and perfectly salted. The salsa was very fresh, with a good balance of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and just the right amount of kick. It wasn't too watery, which is a big plus, and you could tell they used quality ingredients. Only thing I could ask for is to melt the cheese a little more before applying it to the Burrito. I will definitely be back to try their other options. read more

I only gave a 1 star because I couldn't give 0. I just moved to the Navarre area about a month ago. We were on a search for a great burrito place to become regulars at just like the place we loved where we are from. The first two times we tried hot head burritos it was pretty good. We ordered through door dash hot head burritos this last time we ordered because we are 25 minutes from the store. So we paid the extra fees just to get it. When we started to eat and we noticed the rice was rock hard and not edible. I immediately called the store to tell them we could not eat the burrito bowls because the rice was hard. The manager told me the only thing they could do for me is remake the bowl. I said i ordered through DoorDash and they didn't seem to care that I would have to pay another delivery fee for their mistakes. I will never eat here again. read more

Lady making burrito would lean across the counter putting her belly all over my tortilla. I walked in the store and the lady just stared at me. Didn't say anything, didn't ask for my order. It then took her 12 minutes to make a single burrito and couldn't even get a simple order to fold. read more

I come here A LOT. I have left many reviews for Hot Heads and I will always leave one! I prefer this place over chipotle & moe's any day, hands down. they're military friendly & have a great reward system. I usually get a bowl, however, their burritos are just as delicious! read more

This was our first time there. It was Military and First Responders Appreciation Day and they were giving away free burritos or bowls. T of course the place was jammed. Thank you all for your service. I'm not military (4-F) but my wife got discount coupons so we thought we'd try it. Service was fairly quick considering the special day and the food was very tasty. We each got a bowl (I got pork and my wife got chicken). Very flavorful. We'll definitely be back. We also love their community involvement. read more

Honestly for $16.00 for a make yourself burrito and large fountain drink i was not impressed!. The burrito was large but tasted bland.

Best Burritos in Mary Ester. It's like Chipotle or Willie's but better. Give them a chance and judge for yourself

My wife and I came here on a rainy day while on vacation. I ordered a bowl when the young lady was adding toppings it was her pinching suck a small amount. With their pricing being almost 30 dollars for two meals ridiculous. Another employee made my wife's bowl and there was a massive difference between ours. I asked the young lady what the limited time sauce was she told me she didn't know. She put two/ 4 pieces of chicken on my bowl when i said something to her she said she would charge me more. I told her not going to happen. Honestly this location lacks consistency. I would prefer to go to chipotle honesty. We wont be returning to this location. read more

I just placed an Uber eats order. Was charged for a "fountain drink" but was only given an empty cup, lid, and straw. Filed a complaint with the app THEN realized my burrito was cold. Not warm. Straight up COLD. So cold the cheese was still shredded. Ubers app is structured so I can't complain further but it doesn't matter. How do you send out cold food? Cold meat?? So what's the secret to actually getting soda when I pay for it?? read more

I was excited to try this place despite mixed reviews. I won't be going back. The meats looked like they had been sitting in the warmer for a week or more just constantly reheated each day. There were two guys working, one of which said multiple times that he didn't feel like being there. My husband ordered one of the jalapeño burrito things and the guy kept asking him what he wanted on it. My husband said it says on the sign it comes with these things on it. So he had to read each thing off the sign for the guy to make it. It all just tasted mediocre and not fresh. read more

I love the food here the first time I went the guy worker was super sweet and patient the second time I went I had a very rude lady with red hair . She was impatient. And made rude comments. I am very disappointed on how she treats her customer . read more

We try to go to this restaurant once a week. Very exceptional food. Very friendly staff. They make the custom tacos while you wait they are very fast and the food taste very fresh. They provide good portions. They have Very good prices and a very clean restaurant. Have never had a bad experience there. read more

The food was delicious and the people who work there had so much patience and when we come we are always ready for a good meal

First impression: clean and very empty. (This was mid-late to afternoon so that accounts for lack of patrons.) Second impression: Great, friendly staff! Third impression: A Chipotle wanna-be or clone...but not quite the same quality of food. Fourth impression: The food is fine. Chicken was tender and moist. Barbacoa was tender but a little short on flavor. Veggie Version (with squash and sweet peppers) was surprisingly flavorful. Ten Sauces are tasty and varied enough to please any palate. Hot, Hotter and Zowie on the full-blown Extreme Habanero and the Straight Habanero! I especially liked the Signature (creamy garlic) Hot Head Sauce...really yummy. Fifth impression: Bowls, Burritos, Tacos, Quesadillas, Specials (B2G1 the day I was there) - lots of toppings (add-ons) from which to choose. (Check their website on line for a full run-down.) Last impression: Affordable. Three Tacos and a drink - 7 bucks, not too bad. read more

First time having hot heads, I had it delivered with door dash and I was not expecting to get sooo Much food when ordering a quesadilla, very spicy sauces, very good chicken, super filling. read more

Hot Head Burritos - believe it or not that's a quesadilla, Weighed about a pound & was loaded w/ chicken, cheese, & jalapenos. Very good too filling lol. - Mexican Near Me - Mary Esther, Florida

They were not good. Bad place with moldy green peppers. Please change to a good place with nice service. Ambiance was like an ambulance

I don't normally rate any place that low as I love food, but this place as a whole was a disappointment. If you've ever been to Moe's right down the road, this is pretty similar but with less options and things aren't as fresh. I got the two-pack, two burritos, two drinks and chips/salsa for $18. I got a spicy chicken burrito and it did have a little spice. The making of the burrito DID NOT look appetizing. Maybe it was just that particular employee who lacked attention to detail but right off the bat I was regretting my decision to eat here. The guacamole seemed like the "fake" pre packaged type, it was not very good. The pico de gallo seemed like large chunks of over ripe, mushy tomatoes. My cheese was still cold inside the burrito. Just overall it did not taste good. My advice: drive the extra 1/4 mile down Mary Esther Blvd and go to Moe's. It's the same thing really but Moe's is better. I personally don't plan on eating there again. read more

Hot Head Burritos - My burrito, hangin' out - Mexican Near Me - Mary Esther, Florida

Awesome, first time trying Hot Head Burritos and the food here is way better than what I expected. I'll definitely be ordering delivery from them frequently. read more

Love your food!!!! And the staff is super friendly, felt welcome in this place of business!!!!! Highly recommended!!!

First time trying this place! Ordered takeout and as soon as I arrived to the store our food was fresh and hot! We got the bowls and quesadillas they were all really good! The churros were amazing!! Friendly service as well read more

I was hesitant at first to try a new burrito place as I usually always stick to what I know I like, chipotle but after a few bad experiences at the locations around here I figured I'd give this local chain a try. Service is always pretty speedy and that's with noticeably less staff than you see in other places. Food is delicious with a variety of specialty sauces to try. My husband and I always love to get double meat, and all the add ons and not once have we ever had a problem with the staff being able to properly wrap our burritos. Food is delicious and we can safely say so long as we're here we will be sticking to hot heads. read more

This was my first time at Hot Head Burritos. This town isn't short of Mexican style food choices and I think I have now tried all of them. Hot Head is a fast food style burrito and taco place. The selections for tacos are the basics: soft or hard shell, salsas, corn, tomatoes, lettuce, and a variety of sauces to complete your custom tacos. I went with a pork, a chicken, and a steak taco, all hard shell and with mango habanero sauce. It was an awesome meal and likely the best tacos in town. I'll definitely go back. read more

They are just great all around. Even their mini bowls leave you full. Staff is friendly and welcoming as well.

Large and in charge! Great burrito. I'll be back I'm sure a lot of military frequent this place.

Really good food and a pretty large menu. I would say it's basically like Moes southwest grill just better. Most definitely will be back!

Came in for a quick bite to eat for lunch. We were in and out and the food was really good as well as hot and fresh. I definitely recommend going to Hot Head Burritos if you've never been. read more

Absolutely embarrassing yesterday 7.3.20. There was not enough food etc.. put out. My mother in law wanted sour cream. Rather than bring out a new squeezer with sour cream, the employee just squeezed an empty bottle in five different spots. Ran out of shredded cheese but put two or three pieces as if it would be ok. Pathetic I will never go back neither will any of my family. read more

I chose this place after the reviews. I was worried about the 3 stars but was encouraged but what people were saying. Well I should've trusted my gut. This place was HIGHLY disappointing, so much so that there's not a single positive thing I could say about what we received as we couldn't even finish our food. First and last time eating here, I'll stick to Chipotle from now on. read more

The worker messed up my burrito and a bunch of awkward pauses afterwards. He was very unhelpful. But yo that burrito was delicious and that military discount was worth it. read more

Not bad at all. I got a barbacoa burrito and wife got pork. Meat was tender with good flavor. Lots of good salsas and hot sauce choices. No charge for sautéed fajita veggies. Tortillas were nice and soft but didn't fall apart. We didn't get any sides or anything because we wanted to test the waters first but the burritos were on point. Better than Chipotle and way better than Moe's. read more

First time trying, it was amazing!! Food is freshly cooked and absolutely great customer service from Doyle and Hollie! Doyle introduced us to all the different options of meat and toppings, and the different sauces they have. definitely recommend Hotheads! read more

This place is horrible. Don't ever even think to go here. Ordered a steak burrito. The onions and peppers I added into my burrito were covered In salt and pepper. So when I got home to eat it, it was so overwhelming that I had to add my own homemade salsa into my food to even try to finish. I wouldn't even feed this to my dog, if I had one. To add insult to injury, the customer service was crap. They didn't care what or why you were there. The manager was hovering in the back watching his staff have their own personal conversations. So incredibly disappointed at the fact I just literally threw money away and that I had to even give this place 1 star. read more

It's empty for a reason. Knock off chipotle. Cold, sitting out for forever. Was not impressed at all. A little upset I choose here over subway or tropical smoothie :( read more

On a hunger run with 2 friends, we pull up to Subway and saw a line of 10 people. Hmmm.... Oh look, theres a burrito place right next to it that is completely empty. "Hey, have you 2 ever eaten there? No? But you live RIGHT down the street! Never? K well I will be brave and try it!" .... Tsk tsk tsk, shoulda known better. When a place is empty its usually for a reason. They do not know how to construct a burrito for one. The 2 girls working there CLEARLY hated their jobs, I wouldn't blame them. Um, wheres my free chips and salsa bar? $1.25 extra for ANY cheese??? Sucky sauces that you wont get in from half the burrito. The tortillas suck, don't ask why kuz I dunno. Meh. After getting stoned it didn't taste any better either. It was EDIBLE though! Simply put, go to Moe's or Chipotle.... or Taco Bell lololol read more

Quick and decent burrito/bowl joint that reminds me of Chipotle but with more vegetables and sauces. I haven't been disappointed with my meals. I get the burrito and my wife gets the bowl. read more

If you like chipotle you'll love this place. They have more options than just a bowl or burrito. They have different size options too! All ingredients are fresh and perfect to taste. More choices for toppings too.. Then they have their signature sauces you can add! So many choices. Hot Head sauce is my favorite. Good prices and friendly service too! Great place for a quick lunch. read more

The first time I had Hot Head Burritos I wasn't very impressed. I'm a total chipotle hater (yeah, fight me) so i figured it was just another mediocre burrito place. Then I tried it again, and yeah... I like it a lot. Seems like i'm coming here almost weekly now. I love the vegetarian option. It's not very often you find zucchini and squash as options. Also, the cheese sauce. Noms. Today I had a Lil Bowl with all the toppings i wanted, a steak soft taco, and a gatorade. I ate about 6 hours ago, and I'm still full. I don't think this food has anymore salt than any other chain restaurant. Especially not Subway. Subway is processed meats. This is not. read more

Not impressed! Just to make myself clear and protect the staff, the service was amazing. Kind and attentive. My comments have to do with the food. It just wasn't good. I was prepared for a really good taco or burrito with some spicy sauce. The sauce was not good! The food seemed cold, and the meat was really tough! I'm not impressed! read more
