The food court in rio is reasonable in comparison to everything I've been to eat in the strip. The burrito I ordered here was tasty however, I had a stomache ache at night around 3am from eating it. I don't know why. I had to go to the bathroom 3 times. Between 3am and 6am in the morning after going to bed at midnight. So I had a sloppy sleep schedule. The burrito was $15 after taxes and it was thick and wide. The food was worth the value of what I paid for despite not having a side other than a salsa to out onto this monstrous burrito. The burrito I ordered was the La tejana. It was a beef brisket burrito with sour cream, onions, potato, rice and cilantro. It had a spicy flavor and its texture was soft and warm. I'll probably order the breakfast burrito to since it was even cheaper but just as big if not bigger from what I've seen in pictures. The food court itself has a variety of food from Japanese, fried chicken, to Korean ramen soups. They also had a smash burger place and another place that sells Philly cheesesteaks. All were under the $20 mark. read more

Southland Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This is a generous 4, tbh, but there's some perks to the experience. The burrito itself is very decently priced for Vegas, and overall pretty tasty. Not the best I"ve ever had, but solid. The downside... the place didn't open until 11, which is weird to me, as people would be checking out and leaving earlier in the day, and this would be great grab-and-go food. I was there around 10:45 and hung out until they opened. The other downside is the lack of a hot sauce. I'm a fiend for a great sauce with my burritos (food carts in PDX are always generous). Making me eat a burrito dry was just lame. Maybe the have it upon request, but it wasn't offered when I picked up. Decently priced and kind of tasty, but not a strong recommend. read more

Southland Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Waited over 15 minutes at the counter while one of the staff just stood there staring at us without saying a word. No greeting, no acknowledgment, nothing. It wasn't even busy, just pure lack of effort or care. After standing there that long, we decided not to order at all, it was honestly one of the worst customer service experiences I've had at a food court. read more

Southland Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The food options here are going anywhere but south. Southland Burrito is one of the founding members of the Canteen Food Hall at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Physically located around the middle of the back of the area, they take orders either at register or at one of the kiosks shared by all of the restaurants in the food hall. To use the latter, it's as easy as walking up to one of the kiosks, scrolling and tapping thru the menu, and swiping a payment card, which could be your Rio Rewards card if you're using any dining credit and/or points. That's what I did to get my Tejano ($14.00) burrito, a massive tortilla stuffed with brisket, cheese, rice, beans, jalapeño crema, chiltepin salsa, and cilantro. The portion size was huge, and it wound up being a bit more than I was comfortable with for dinner; two lunches or a lunch for two would be advisable. The brisket was good overall. It did get portioned unevenly in some parts and could have been cut thinner to make it consistently tender, but at least it didn't leave me with as poor an impression as some other reviewers got from ordering asada here. Some people may read the burrito description and be disappointed that the various peppers didn't contribute a ton of capsaicin, but I don't mind as I'm more sensitive to spicy. As for the rest of the contents, I was pleased with the melange of flavors and textures and didn't mind having so much filler. Pro tip: if you happen to have kimchi handy, try adding some. The service is pretty basic since it's basically a counter, and seating is shared with all the neighbors. It looked clean at a glance, although I took my food to-go for dinner that night. I actually got my burrito with a plastic Rio-branded bag, which one of their neighbors didn't offer me. I'll keep Southland Burrito in my rotation for when I get incentivized by the Rio in the future. It's not the most amazing burrito I've had, but I was pleased overall. read more

This is one of my favorite burritos that I've had at one of the Las Vegas food halls! Located in the new Canteen Food Hall at the Rio Hotel just off the Strip, I was visiting to try a little something from the various spots in the food hall, and was pleasantly surprised by how great much of it was, including here at Southland Burrito! The prices all seemed very reasonable, especially for the size of these burritos. They are HUGE!! You could easily feed two or more people with just one of them. When taking that into consideration, I'd say that they are an amazing value! There was no way I could finish it by myself and still couldn't finish it as a leftover later that evening back in the hotel room! As for the quality of the burrito itself, I found myself very impressed! Great variety of textures and flavors. Delicious and well balanced contrast between the crunchiness of some toppings and creaminess of others. My California Burrito had flavorful pollo asada inside in addition to numerous other toppings, with a tad bit of spiciness to it, although not overpowering. If you want more spice, there were a few salsa options - I did a more mild avocado salsa that added additional flavor and creaminess to the bites - LOVED IT! Southland Burrito is an excellent option for hearty burritos that could easily feed a couple or even a family, and I highly recommend! read more

Pretty ok. Had a breakfast burrito since it was breakfast time. The burrito was pretty huge. Cost around $12. The ingredients were not evenly distributed and bites were not made equal. I think mine just has 2 tots inside. read more

The food was not bad, but the wait was long and there was ice in the salad. The California had a huge piece of cream cheese, I think that's what "jalapeño crema" is. Guac was good, and it got the job done. read more

Stopped by Southland Burrito and grabbed a Chicken California Burrito. It's a handheld size, not tiny, but definitely not worth the $13 price tag. I get that it was EDC week and they were busy, but it still took a while to get my order. The burrito itself was just okay. Nothing terrible, just bland. I could've driven half a mile down the road and found something way more flavorful for less. Also asked for salsa for two burritos and was handed one tiny serving...felt like I was an inconvenience just for asking. Not a great look. And yeah, the energy in the kitchen wasn't great either. The cooks didn't look like they wanted to be there, and you can taste that kind of vibe in the food. If you're not cooking with love, it shows. Would I go back? Probably not. read more

I took a bite of an asada burrito and, for some reason, did not taste like asada. The cheese was too much. Server Donovan was nice. Ambiance is okay. Inside a casino towards the back, we didn't know this was here till we found it by accident, lol. They sell other types of food in this location, but my husband wanted his burrito. The only and kinda major thing is the cigarette smell, I don't smoke, it makes my neaseau therefore no appetite. Thank you Donovan! read more

Southland Burrito is located inside the new food court at The Rio hotel and casino. Arriving shortly after 5pm during the week, the food court was nearly empty. I was able to walk right up and order. No upselling which was nice but would've liked to hear recommendations as I was a new customer and never eaten at this place before. Easy menu to read over. Minimal wait due to no one being at this establishment when I ordered. Smooth transaction. I got the California burrito that had carne asada, fries, beans, avocado and a few other things. Upon opening up the packaging, I immediately noticed that the burrito has a panini type press marks on the top making it a bit crispy. I'm undecided if I was a fan of that or not. I didn't see any options for gluten free which is something that we typically look for in places. The burrito was average tasting. Nothing special IMO. But if you like stickers, ask for them, the staff will happily give you some. The food court does offer a beverage machine with over 50 different kinds of drinks from major beverage companies. read more

Ordered the chicken California burrito and it was mid. No fries, crema or guacamole was found in the first half of the burrito I ate. The temperature was also inconsistent as the cheese was cold and the rest was warm. Despite this, the flavor was good once you reach all the ingredients in the middle of the burrito but there were hardly any fries. It's an okay burrito for $12 in a casino. read more

Southland Burrito - Chicken California burrito - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I am sharing this review to express my disappointment with the recent food service in hopes it reaches the right person! My visit fell short of expectations due to l was refused a side of salsa with my purchased guacamole and chips. I asked for an extra side of salsa with my already purchased and prepared guacamole and chips. The cashier said one per order. I volunteered to pay for the extra side of salsa. The cashier said they don't do that and it's one salsa per order. That she didn't have a function on the register to charge for a side of salsa. I asked for the manager. The cashier stepped away for 3 mins. I could see her and others laughing in the back while she was on her cell phone. Finally, Tony, the manager came over. As he was walking over, he leaned and turned to the cashier whispering. No introduction and he didn't ask me any questions. So, I expressed I wanted a refund since I was not able to purchase a side of salsa. He said okay and walked away. Again, leaving me standing there for several minutes. There was no effort of any accommodation or understanding. He came back to do the return still with no introduction or dialogue. When I asked for his name, a DM's name, or their corporate number, he laughed and hand wrote on a paper Rio 702777777. Said, "Have a nice day". This significantly impacted my experience being treated with such disrespect and left me frustrated, dissatisfied, embarrassed, and hungry. This company just waisted food that had already been purchased, prepped and put in a to go bag, for the food now has to be tossed. The manager, Tony, did not have the best interest of the company with his attitude and approach. He lost the company food inventory and money! Instead he was content with his smirk, laugh, shrugging of shoulders, derogatory comment, and did the refund. read more

Disgusting. The staff was very friendly and the area was clean but the all the food was just terrible. I came for lunch with two other friends who felt the same way. I got the carne asada burrito which tasted like heavily spiced refried beans and thick taco seasoning. None of us could finish. read more

We liked the food hall, definitely has a different feel than the typical food court. It's at the west end of the casino. The digital menu was not working but they did have some laminated ones on the counter. Small menu. Good portions, really packs in the ingredients. Just one kind of salsa. Need to ask for it. We ordered the BCR burrito and the breakfast burrito. My wife loved the BCR. Awesome tortilla. My breakfast burrito was good, not great. It seemed to eat kinda mushy, tots didn't hold up to offer enough texture. Soft, runny fried egg, which was different. We will certainly go again. read more

Surprisingly, this place was. Great customer service by Tyrone, and the food was fresh and tasty. The fries were really good too read more

I'd fly to Vegas just for one of these burritos, they are THAT good. They have every meal of the day covered. Handmade tortillas, and the breakfast burrito has tater tots and that's all you need to know. Burrito for breakfast, burrito for lunch and dinner. You'll want to try them ALL!! read more

Pretty bland questionable burritos. Should have k own from the moment the lady at the counter was confused about what I was ordering. The only redeemable thing here was the salsa, but it was still fairly basic tasting. I sure wouldn't rush here for a burrito when there is better to be had almost anywhere else. read more

My burrito was kinda ok.... The frozen horchata was so so. They refuse to sell a side of their jalapeño crema. I just don't understand that logic. And the other day my friend ordered and they were out of beans rice and salsa. Why are you open then? I won't be back. read more

Came here on opening day, and was so happy to find this spot! The burritos we saw coming out looked bomb, and we were starving, so we ordered 3 to try, each unique and just purely delicious. The breakfast burrito was fire - the enchilada sauce gives such tang to balance out the bacon and the perfectly soft eggs and those tots! I'm still dreaming about this burrito. The chicken cali had all of the pieces you want. Amazing fries (crinkle cut for the win), super flavorful rice, and an INCREDIBLE jalapeno crema. The barbacoa burrito, however, was probably my favorite - the natural sweetness of the meat, played so well with the aforementioned jalapeno crema, the crunch of the cabbage, the heat of the salsa. A real explosion of flavor! Turns out, they import the tortillas from a specific tortilleria in southern california, and boy oh boy does it make all the difference. As a San Diegan, this is truly a top notch burrito experience! read more

Handmade flour tortillas, thoughtful ingredients, and the best burrito you can have. If you are lucky enough to snag one, youll want more.

This was disgusting. Ordered a tejano salad ($13) - butter lettuce was sour, brisket was extremely salty. The salad bowl had more rice than greens anyways. The frozen horchata ($5) had no flavor, wasn't sweet, barely any cinnamon taste. The cashier was nice which is probably the only good thing about this place. The entire Canteen is dimly lit and not a lot of traffic so you don't even get a nice ambiance. For $18-19 I'd rather buy a couple In-N-Out combos than this overpriced salt overload and no flavor combo. read more

In my experience here, one thing stood out to me. The tortilla is incredible. And not as doughy as a lot of the typical flour ones you might have somewhere else. The brisket barbacoa was delightful and very tasty, and it is also nice to see an vegan option with mushroom Picadillo. The service was very fast and efficient, and overall look of the restaurant is super cool. With orange styling, and lights, that really make it pop out. Would highly recommend! read more
