A nice spot for some quick Mexican food! I they have very good value for pricing, service was great, and food was good! The ambiance inside was okay, definitely more of a fast food type restaurant with some tables. I would recommend if you're looking for a yummy, quick bite to eat! read more

Coming to Missouri from San Diego, California I really missed the Mexican food from home. Found this place a few days ago and decided to try it out today. The fish tacos with rice and beans did not disappoint! Just as good as the Mexican food I missed from back home. I will be back to try the carnitas and shrimp burrito. read more

Purple Burrito - Amazing - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Holy guacamole, yummy!!! Traveling for wrestling we needed good, fast food that wouldn't weigh my wrestler down. All criteria were met and then some. The staff is friendly and offered up recommendations that were spot on. The restaurant is spacious, clean and well arranged. I won't even deduct points for Charges decor :). The price point was just as good as the fast food place down the street, and the food was exponentially better. We got the fish taco special, and it was for sure. Fresh and tasty. The carnitas also fresh, great seasoning and plentiful. If you're hitting the Bass Pro, or Wonders of Wildlife, make the Purple Burrito a stop on your trip too. It's just around the corner. read more

This was a staple for me in college. Their burritos? HUGE, delicious, and cheap! (perfect for a college kid) The potato, egg, and cheese burrito cured many hangovers, and sometimes for their potatoes they use french fries. I'm a vegetarian and springy is often lacking veggie options, not here though. Their Vegetarian burrito is truly so good, always hits the spot. The people working there are very kind, if you think something is wrong/missing they'll fix it, and it's usually pretty quick service. Honestly, I dream of these burritos read more

Great food, consistent every time! I always want to get the fish tacos because I think they are the best in town

It's not fancy but the food is really tasty. I usually get tacos or cheese enchiladas.

This restaurant came highly recommended and I was dreaming of a burrito so we went less than 24 hours after being told about it. We ordered the Big Chief Burrito with carnitas and a chicken quesadilla. The big chief was lacking flavor and would benefit from some spice...the green salsa was good and helped combat the dryness. The chicken quesadilla was just as bland and also required a ton of sauce (it comes with sour cream and guacamole to dip which did help). I wanted to come back another time to give it a second chance but my stomach was in knots within an hour of eating it. I'll continue by burrito search elsewhere. read more

What a nice find in Springfield. A Mexican fast food in the style of a Southern California Taqueria. The place has a nice vibe and very clean. Nice spot for a good casual lunch. I had the fish tacos which were prepared very much like the ones you eat in California. My wife had the Machaca plate that I gladly finished because it was too much food for her. Overall I'm very impressed and would highly recommend. read more

I usually always have a good experience here but today was anything but that. I ordered the XL fries with carne asada and i found a long strand of hair in the fries which i thought was my hair at first until i kept pulling it and it was embedded into my fries. I was going to let that slide but i bit into my burrito (Big chief w/ chicken) and there was a small stick in it. I spent almost $100 today on all of this food and like i said before i usually have a good experience here so idk whats going on now. This was a pretty big let down. read more

Mmm fish tacos. I don't know about anything else here, but the fish tacos + green sauce is so good. Only place I get fish tacos around here. The owner is also a nice dude read more

This is a quiet place. The food is good. There is parking right up front. The only negative point I have is after ordering 2 burritos and a combination plate we had no hot sauce. I walked up to the counter and requested 4 green and 2 red sauce. She proceeded to the register and billed me $1.50 for the sauce. I ask if they had complimentary sauce and indicated no sauce is free!! I will not be a repeat customer and go somewhere else that has complimentary sauce. Every other taco/burrito place has complimentary why not them? read more

I cannot recommend them enough!! The service is great the people are nice and the food is to die for

I went to Springfield, MO during vacation and really enjoyed this fresh, clean, friendly and tasty location. I sampled a few of their dishes, of course had to try a burrito and tacos! I had the california burrito and fish tacos, both dishes were generous and flavorful. The burrito was a nice size and I took half of it with me. I also enjoyed the fish tacos, fresh and flaky full of yummy veggie and accompanying sauce. They will customize any order to your liking which is nice as well so have it your way. The Staff is super friendly and the restaurant is very clean with a fresh feel. I feel like I want to check them out again the next time I am in town for sure! read more

The burritos with rice and beans are reasonable but it is California Mexican not authentic Mexican. While it is ok for a Mexican place unless California Mexican is what you love or are from San Diego this place won't rank high. The purple colors come off as divey. read more

Shit hole- made an online order at 11:07, got to this place at 11:25 locked doors, called no answer 5 other people come by and leave. I made a call to other purple burrito to see if they have a number to reach someone they take my number to call me back (they never do) Two other guys who also have an online order who waited finally get someone from inside to come to door at 11:58 said they are late opening and will be 20 more mins. Finally open doors at 12:18 tell us sorry they just got back from Vegas and had to drive back! (Oh so glad you had a great vaycay and fucked your customers!) and take our orders... THEY TAKE OUR ORDERS AT 12:18!!! THA FUCK!? so I have to wait for them to make my food after already waiting...GREAT! (Not really!) I wait and wait and wait ... Finally at 12:58 I get my food with a shitty "heh-heh sorry man!" To leave me with ... Fuck this place and fuck them! (Counted cars coming by and pulling up leaving they lost a minimum total of 17 customers starting at 11:25 and this customer for life) read more

Our go to Mexican food place. Good food nice people. We see lots of pick up orders and everyone seems happy with their food. We have never had a problem with dine in or take out. Orders are always good and as ordered. read more

This place slaps. Food is delicious and plenty of options/variety. They also had some fun drinks like horchata and pineapple juice if you are into that. I got the California burrito and a fish taco, and both hit the spot. Pretty fun atmosphere in there as well. The burritos are the size of a football (only a slight exaggeration, they are pretty huge). I would definitely recommend this place. Reasonably priced too read more

The cashier assumed because I'm white I don't speak Spanish. I am from NM and am fluent. Long story short she called me a calvrona "asshole" for ordering potatoes in my burrito. I will not be coming back to be called an asshole because I like potatoes in my machaca. I paid extra. Dear asshole cashier...don't assume we don't know what your saying.BTW get some hatch green chili. Tomatillos are not meant for breakfast,and your salsa is watery. Buen Dia calvrona. read more

Just like the Old Neighborhood Taco Shop! I'm a recent transplant from So-Cal and I haven't had Mexican food this good in a very long time. You usually need to be within 50 miles from the border to have authentic Mexican food. Here it is in Springfield MO: I love it! read more

Food was good. But they charge extra for hot sauce. They said because of Covid. I would have tipped but to be charge for hot sauce, tiny containers . read more

As a San Diego transplant this place is the closest I've tasted to truly great Mexican food! I just found it by chance. Next to the Rib Crib near Bass Pro Shop. A quick service restaurant with quality food. The hot sauce is actually hot! This will now be my go to burrito place. With all that said I wish they made their tortillas chips with the thin 5oz size. The ones I received seemed a little commercial. read more

I read a lot of reviews about this place so I decided to give it a try and wasn't disappointed. I had the carne asada fries without beans along with two fish tacos and I even got a strawberry churro. Everything was hot and tasty! The quality of their beef is pretty good and I like the fish they use. The service was warm as well as fast. The atmosphere was clean and quiet but I did observe that the floors needed to swept under and around multiple tables in some areas. Over all I would visit again when craving Mexicali food and I would recommend to friends. The portions were huge. I ended up still having a whole lot of food left over for later! Thanks Purple Burrito! read more

This place is a hidden gem for the best quality and the best price. Fish Tacos are the best in town for quick dispatch or taco related goodness. I don't know if it's family owned, but if they are, we need to make sure this family is taken care of as long as they are in town. Papi needs these tacos! The ads in the bathroom placards are wild. read more

I have eaten all over the country and this is top tier! Food is great and the staff is always above and beyond!

Amazing food I love their steak tostadas 10/10 would recommend THEIR CARNA ASADA FRIES HIT TOO

Finally after searching for a some good Mexican in Missouri for the past two years I finally found this place. A buddy recommended it so I had to try it. The owner is from San Diego so I knew it would be delicious. Of course I got a California burrito and it was like I never left San Diego. I will be visiting this place every time I'm in Springfield. Thanks for existing Purple Burrito, I will recommend anyone to come visit who wants great food. Enjoy! read more

Great tasting burrito and chicken quesadilla. Both dishes had great flavor. I'd strongly recommend the sweet and spicy sauce to bring a little heat. Food was so good I helped my wife finish her quesadilla. Quick service at the counter and the food was ready in less than 10 minutes. Several people eating there for a late lunch. Give it a try. read more

I've been looking for San Diego style taco shop food since I've moved here a year ago and I've finally found it. 5/5. Carrots are bomb, green sauce is bomb. Asada is bomb. read more

Its Taco Tuesday!!! But to me eveyday can be Taco day. The Purple Burrito runs a Tuesday special: 5 for $5 Hard shell with a drink 4 for $5 Soft shell with a drink The tacos were good, in fact way better than the place down the street that had $1 tacos on Monday. Restaurant is clean with a friendly staff. It's my style of order at counter grab a seat. They call your number when ready. They have a sauce bar with a wide variety from mild to help me my mouth is on fire. (My name for it not there's) I seem to review a lot of taco shops and am always amazed when I find good Authentic tacos in middle America. Living in Eastern Ohio we don't have any real good ones like this place. read more

This has been my family's favorite place to eat in Springfield since they opened the doors. As a California native, I had given up all hope for good Mexican food in Springfield until I found Purple Burrito. The chimichangas are huge and delicious, all the tacos are amazing (fish tacos are our favorite ), the taquitos with guacamole are superb. The service is great and we're always greeted with a smile. I hope the doors are open for many years and the sweet family that runs it continues to find success. read more
