Flavor-packed and filling -- but skip the elote. I ordered the Surf & Turf bowl with chips and a side of elote. The bowl? Fire. Super flavorful and so loaded I ate off it for two, maybe three days. Totally worth it if you're hungry or want leftovers. The elote though... eh. It tasted like canned corn, not fresh off the cob, and I actually had to season it myself at home -- so that's saying something. The line was long when we went in, but it moved at a decent pace. I've got my eye on the quesadilla for next time. Anyone have a go-to order here? I'm down to try something new. read more

This is a great option for burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas. They also make horchata which is a huge win for us! We, and our kids, all really enjoyed our meal and I like that they ask if you want your chips separate from all your toppings for nachos, perfect for leftovers! The only downside was what appeared to be pickled onions were actually like candied onions and there were waaaayyy too many. I didn't realize before mixing all my toppings and then it was too late. read more

Great service, and fresh good ingredients. It's like Chipotle.... Burrito, bowls, quesadillas then pick your protein, toppings and sauces. Cool interior decor. Limited parking and there was a line on Friday when I got there but they were efficient and the line moved quick. The chips are super good too. Highly recommend!! I'll be back for sure! read more

Nice, clean place with fast, friendly service and a good selection of meats and fresh toppings! My friend and I both got burrito bowls; you pick your rice, beans and meat for a base then other toppings. I hot cilantro lime rice, black beans and carnitas topped with grilled fresh jalapenos, grilled onions, guacamole, cheese, grape salsa, corn salsa, cilantro and pickled onions. It was flavorful and delicious! I wasn't sure about the grape salsa, but I'm glad I chose it... It wasn't too sweet or grapey. We also got the seasonal horchata which was peppermint. A nice subtle peppermint flavor that complimented the horchata rather than overpowering it! read more

Benji's Burrito Bistro - Carnitas bowl - Tex-Mex Near Me - Kaiserslautern, RP

We are going back RIGHT NOW! This is my all time favorite spot in the KMC. This is Chipotle on steroids. Service is fine and the sitting area reminds me of being in Hawaii. This time I got the quesadillas with the Surf and Turf and queso cheese. The meat is seasoned well and the shrimp is cooked just right. And the cheese! Talk about a cheese pull! And the food is hot and fresh! I don't know why people eat at Taco Bell on post when you can have something WAY better. read more

Set up like the typical tex-mex but so much better flavor than any chain. Great atmosphere and service. Highly recommended. Portion sizes are large. read more

Saw this place on a foodie YouTube video and had to stop by. Boy I am glad I did. The decor is awesome. Like the overall vibe of the place is perfect. It's clean, modern, colorful and everyone there was nice. They have a few specialty suggestions and then it's on to build your own burrito, bowl, taco, quesadilla, etc... if you're ever near vogelweh drive the five minutes longer to get here. Worth it for sure. read more

Hit the mark here! I've been looking for well seasoned Mexican food. The carnitas beef was seasoned so well! I got the bowl and there were so many choices to put in there. I also picked up some queso and chips. This was my first experience there and it was good. The line moved quickly. Servers were nice. read more

Going off the recommendation from some friends and coworkers, came here to try a burito. I was told the burrito is the size of a babys arm, however its more of a full grown man arm. Portion is huge, generous on meat, sauce and size, and the horchata was fresh and delicious. Definitely worth it and left me stuffed! Would repeat in a heartbeat! read more

Came to the new location and it now looks upgraded. Very well decorated. Foods just as good as before. I mean you can't go wrong with burritos,bowls,quesadillas etc. I would definitely recommend the carnitas they were super tasty and hit the spot. The chicken was bland. But let me tell you the cheese that they used in the quesadilla was not only cheesy but creamy like. Overall I would recommend it. Friendly staff, nice little place and good fast food. If you get nervous to order, I tried including a picture of what they have to make it easier and the order they go by. Enjoy read more

Visited our son and DIL for Christmas and finally getting around to writing my reviews. This is the second time he's taken us here and I forgot about the huge portions! We all had bowls with plenty of leftovers! And we started with queso and chips. We loved it all. The pork was tasty and lots of fun toppings to from. read more

Dear Benji's: You have a winning formula. Love your burritos and it's the closest I can get to anything in the states here in KMC. So with this winning formula that has people line up to the street, what on earth would possess you to decide to bury all your warm items in cilantro? That foul weed has an extremely polarizing flavor and, while most people go nuts over it, the people that hate it consider it a deal breaker. How about putting that stuff on the side for the heathens that want it? I can't even bother with the guac since it looks like a cilantro salad. Otherwise, keep up the good work. Love the xtra hot sauce. Wish you would bring the reaper sauce back. read more

Delicious fresh food & drinks. Good portion sizes and a variety of options- there's something for everyone. Great staff. Good for dine in or take out. read more

Not bad for a place that reminds me of Chipotle. You can build your own bowls, burritos, nachos, and salads. Was impressed with the chicken. Juicy and not spicy. I got the nachos but had the queso on the side as i knew it was going to be spicy and i'm not a fan of the fire. The place i heard from my sister used to be a street side joint with lines that formed around the block. Glad they opened a sit down place and was very impressed with the interior. Fire place and kids play area which were a nice touch. Bathrooms were nice and staff was super friendly. I'll definitely be going back mostly because the food was quick and the staff was so nice. They gave us extra sauces on the side and was more than willing to give us containers all 3 times i asked for separate containers. read more

Chipotle abroad with even more options. Guac and salsa is ok. The service was quick during the lunch rush. I prefer to take food to go. Overall great experience! read more

Benjis is the German version of chipotle. I recommend this place. They have good quality meats and their staff if friendly & helpful. I enjoy their chips, queso and guacamole! They have the best horchata and their strawberry margaritas are bomb! If you haven't tried this place it's a must! read more

Extra guac! Hold the variant please! At first glance the food looked and smelled great. HOWEVER.. only ONE person working the food line was masked! The pandemic is yet ongoing and only 1 employee had the wherewithal to practice proper food service hygiene. She wasn't swiping at her face or touching other services with gloves hands. So brava to her! The other bearded personnel need to revisit food service safety training STAT! read more

Amazing food and staff, their burrito bowls are humongous and delicious. Their chips and queso, margaritas, cookies, and guacamole are all amazing as well! Never disappoints! read more

It's a Chipotle style Burrito place, but I would argue it's better. It's a personal choice, but I traditionally do not care for that style of food. However, I really enjoy this place and take the kids often. read more

Chipotle variation, but they have margaritas! They're always busy, but Def recommend!

Recommend. This is a good spot for burritos or burrito bowls. If you've had chipotle in the US, this is a similar set up. I normally get the white rice, chicken, and then some different sauces. They do have some interesting sauce. The first time I went they had a grape salsa, I really liked it but some people I was with didn't love it. I enjoy getting the guac on top and then a medium salsa and the pico de Gallo. They also have HORCHATA! Now, it's not served with a ladle from a bucket, but don't judge it too harshly. It's still horchata! It's still yummy. I will def return! read more

The lines can be long but they have a good reason for that the food is sooo tasty and delicious. Next the customer service I have never had any problems with it they're nice sweet and patient. Lastly they have indoor seating and they also have a bathroom in the restaurant that's not the best but it's work. overall it is a great restaurant and I love it! read more

Worst restaurant experience ever. I've never been to a place where the stuff was as rude to the customers. They even rolled their eyes when a question was not understood acoustically. And even worse was the treatment of non-U.S. citizens. We'll never go there again although the food was tasty. read more

Nice location, good parking.. Food was good, steak was chewy after I took off the steak of my burrito it was much better. read more

I absolutely love this place, staff is very friendly, the seating area is very good and the food is worth an hour drive for me to go and eat. I always recommend my friends to go here at least once when there in Germany. read more

I really love this place! The steak is great and they put a ton in the burritos. I also like the shrimp with some fajita grilled veg and jalapeños. The sweet smoky sauce is yummy and vegan and the smoky salsa is good, too. read more

Missing Chipotle? This is as close as you can get, but this is BETTER! They're setup just like chipotle- pick a style, rice, beans, meat, then extras. But their extras are varied and exciting. Lots of great flavors. And they have horchata! read more

Have eaten here twice within the past two months. Both times, the food quality, quantity, and service were exceptional. Each ingredients' individual quality and flavor makes for an all around flavorful and excellent meal. The amount of food for the price is even better! I want to try all the different ingredients and combinations but what I got the first time was so good I just keep getting it again. The other members of my party had nothing but praise for their meals as well. read more

This place operates similar to chipotle but has more options and gives you way more food. It's not quite as good as Chipotle but it's a great alternative. read more

This place has great burritos and bowls. Large servings and customer service is top notch. There is always a line, so that should tell you something. read more

NEW LOCATION!!! Before I get to the FOOD they've made many new improvements with the new location. Parking out front, a COOL and well decorated seating area for many more to sit and enjoy their food and possibly decide to hit up seconds before departing, and a much smoother and quicker assembly line helped us get out of there as quickly as we needed. Looks like they will be offering frozen margaritas soon as the machines are setup and it's on the menu, but was not available on my visit last night. I have to say the food tasted the best it ever has last night, the chunky guacamole, the fire-smoked chicken and that no-joke FIRE sauce is the Best!!! How could it get any better?? It has and it's sparkling clean and fresh behind the counter, a very enjoyable experience! read more

I absolutely love this place! It is compared to Chipotle from the states but honestly I think it's way better. Their Queso especially is incredible! 10/10 would recommend to a friend. read more

Not nearly as good as chipotle, but definitely the best in the area. Queso is like gravy.

5 Star service!!! The employees were friendly and accommodating. The food was fresh. Guacamole was delicious! Chips were crispy. Prices very reasonable and the wait time was average. We were a party of 6 and nobody was disappointed. Queso was bland and not very cheesy, but other than that-highly recommend! read more

Great selection, huge portion sizes, and the food is always delicious. Horchata is also on point which was a pleasant surprise.

Benjis is our weekly Mexican stop! We love the quesadillas and the burrito bowls!!! And you can't go wrong with their guacamole and chips. Our favorite Mexican food in Germany!!!!! read more

Bomb burritos 10/10. Fresh, good price, fast service, close parking not yet made into no parking zones. Closer than Chipotle in Frankfurt and just as good...almost. read more
