Haven't been by in a while due to Covid. Like most other places thought they were closed. Saw a friend eating a breakfast burrito so walked over and grabbed two. One for me and one for a coworker. Very friendly staff and a Delicious breakfast !!!! I highly recommend instead of the local coffee chain fake egg breakfast concoctions. Have to drop by again for lunch and awesome shakes read more

I used to be a very frequent Boloco customer back when I lived in a town where it was pretty much the only burrito option. Now that the fast casual burrito wave has washed across the country, you can get a decent burrito pretty much anywhere and Boloco is not as good as some of its competitors. I do like that they have some non-Mexican style options (i.e. wraps), but they seem to be more about novelty than anything else. Their classic burrito isn't terrible, but its not exactly bursting with flavor either. I suppose that's a result of trying to shoehorn the same protein and grain options into a bunch of different cuisines. read more

Plain and simple: a decent burrito for a cheap price. But I am sure you want details, so here they are: Better than Anna's, Boca Grande and Qdoba combined. Not nearly as good as Chipotle. It's a fair substitute at best, considering there is no Chipotle downtown, yet. The establishment is clean, the people are friendly and it's very close to my work. I am not too keen on the "inspired burritos" tagline. I consulted the thesaurus regarding the word "inspired" and synonyms include: imaginative, driven, inventive and original. Boloco is none of these things. False advertising won't keep me from going back, but three stars is all they get. read more

Ridiculously good. Ridiculously. Good. Let's face it - there aren't a ton of great things about working in the financial district. The commute sucks, the frigid cold sucks, the road construction sucks, the tourists in Faneuil Hall suck... But if there is one thing that most decidedly does not suck, it is a burrito from Boloco. Sometimes, it's the only thing that gets me through the day without pulling a Peter Gibbons and bashing the bejesus out of the copier with a baseball bat. On a more serious note, every menu item in this place is positively scrumtrilescent. The service is top-notch as well - I waited an extra two minutes for my smoothie last week, and they upgraded me to a large for free. I recommend that you become a Boloco cardholder. Every once in a while, they will send you, the Boloco cardholder, an email offering you a free burrito. As you know, free is good. Don't be intimidated by the line - hit this place up. It may be the best thing you do for yourself all day. read more

I'm one of those fist shakers who is still bitter about the fact that Brigham's who occupied that location before Boloco got there has closed. I have no issue with Boloco as a franchise. Boloco would be the perfect place to go if you enjoy the food. I don't find anything there particularly appetizing. There is always some deal breaker ingredient in their sandwhiches like mangos or corn or some other tangy red herring ingredient. The meat is fine but the starchy wrap fillers are premixed in advance so you can't even ask for a sandwhich that doesn't have a sour fiesta mix in it or whatever the mix for that signature sandwhich is. The stuff is probably good for you but it's like any other good for you product. It's only good for you if you'll eat it. *sigh* Sometimes you just want a plain grilled cheese sandwhich, hold the mandarin oranges and hollandaise. :-( read more

This burrito was ok. I am a big chipotle fan and compared to chipotle it didn't have quite as much flavor. I got the classic Mexican. It was good but not the best. They sell different sizes which is nice since regular burritos are way too much for me but the small size was good and the price was right. I do have to say that some burrito places you get a clump of cheese in one place and a chunk of Salas's in another but the woman that made my burrito really spread the ingredients out evenly which was nice. I would go back if it was convenient but prefer chipotle. read more

Boloco - Boston - New American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Fast, clean, delicious! I wish there was more to say, but I love Boloco, their menu has plenty of options for dairy-free, gluten-free people like yours truly, and I haven't had a bad experience at their various locations, this one included. I eat here all the time! Best guac around, IMO. read more

HUGE Burritos. However, it has that chain feel to it. It was also packed. The burritos were good, but not amazing. They have outdoor seating which is convenient. read more

My cousin and his friend, both originally from Taiwan, go to school in Chicago. Boloco, being a Boston local company, does not have any locations in Chicago. So sad for them. Even sadder that they were visiting Christmas weekend and all the locations we passed were closed and we thought they would go back to Chicago, having never tried the awesomeness that is Boloco. Lucky for us, we were hanging around South Station and the Harborwalk on the day they were supposed to leave, killing some time. The tea party ship was off being restored and we had pretty much seen everything else. My cousin...my, what a good eye he has...looked down a street we were crossing and says excitedly 'Vivz! Isn't that the place you've been telling us about?!' By golly, there it was, big banner waving on the side of the building. "BOLOCO". Where we were going to eat lunch was no question after that spotting. It was relatively quiet since it was the day after Christmas and most people hadn't returned back to work yet. The guy behind the counter was supernice. He offered to explain how the menu worked to our first-timers, but I explained that it would be easier for me to do in Chinese. Instead of walking away while we made up our minds, he patiently stood there to answer any questions they had with a big friendly smile on his face. The only disappointing thing was that after we paid, I forgot that I had freebies saved up on my card that I could've used. With my experience at other Boloco locations, they usually catch it on the computer and ask me if I want to use or save them. I can't really complain though since with the cost of the meal, I earned me another freebie. read more

This review is actually for the other Boloco on Congress (waterfront) but apparently they don't have a yelp page yet? Anywhoo... props to Boloco for having breakfast burritos! Are they the best breakfast burritos ever? No. But I can't easily make better ones at home, and Boston is seriously lacking in the BB department, so they get points for that. Plus the staff is super nice and cheerful. The only thing that sucks is that the "chorizo" is not really chorizo but a tasteless ground sausage that would be best left out of your breakfast burrito. Get the huevos rancheros with hot sauce and call it a good morning! read more

I love Boloco - and I really like this location. Service is very friendly. I go here about once a month, maybe twice, and I already have people who remember my name. Once in a while, they will mess up your order, but I have no qualms, I think it is understandable considering the amount of orders going through their line. If you catch a mistake they will remake your order with no hesitations or issues. For the amount of people they have through there - I think it is very clean. I will continue to frequent! PS. Consider picking Boloco over other take-out places because of their green initiative. They encourage recycling (and make it available in their restaurant). They also have cups that are made out of corn and become clean compost wherever they end up! Cool! read more

Boloco for you I'm not crazy. Even if today your burritos were free. True that not paying for them made it more tasty. Still you haven't impressed me. I had the Thai burrito and it was bland. Your chips were pretty uninspiring. The big burrito was small enough to fit my hand. I can't believe you're hiring. read more

Worst Boloco in the city, narrowly edging out 133 Federal St. A regluar sized classic Mexican burrito came with half of the regular cheese, a third of a normal guacamole portion (which cost extra), dry meats, and no sauce because they were out of a few of them. The good Bolocos are 1080 Boylston St and 176 Boylston St. read more

Best of the Bolocos, and I love Boloco. So you get 5 stars baby. Can get busy, but very fast service. They have recently added an ordering bank for when it gets really busy (and it works well). Everyone is always happy to help you with your order if something is wrong, and they even ask me how my day is going. Woo woo. As for the food, how can you go wrong? Freshly thrown together deliciousness. Hot when it needs to be, cold when it doesn't. They're happy to substitute as needed. You pay extra for white meat chicken -- don't bother just have "normal" chicken (it's free). Get it in a bowl, save yourself the 150 cals or so, and still get all the awesome insides. Great alternative to Chipotle (which is just too much food to handle, and really.. you shouldn't be eating that much (insert curse word)). Grab a Boloco card and get rewards too! Free rewards! Yeaaa! Dear Boloco, I love you. read more

This Boloco doesn't seem as spicy as the others, which my acid reflux likes a lot. It is a great burrito, but it is an expensive burrito. The line can be quite long during the lunch rush, so plan your lunch hour accordingly. The staff is friendly at this location, and the food is delicious. If it was just a little cheaper, I would be over the moon about it. read more

Boloco is my favorite of the local lunchtime spots, and my general go-to when I can't figure out what to eat. The best part is how vegetarian friendly they are - I love that even the Late November (aka: turkey dinner in a burrito) can be made vegetarian. All of their items are always well marked, so i don't have to guess if something is vegetarian-friendly or not. It's sad how unusual that is, but it is very appreciated! The only thing that makes this not a 5-star review is how uneven the burritos can be. I guess it's due to their conveyor system, but the top half of the burrito is usually 80% rice, with all of the good stuff down at the bottom. Is there any way to get a more evenly distributed burrito? read more

Can't say enough wonderful things about this place, and this company. The staff are incredibly friendly, and despite how busy they are at lunchtime, always manage to smile and acknowledge that you are a regular. The meat is cooked on the grill behind the assembly line. This is not precooked meat that has been brought into the restaurant (as with some other chains in the area) and it is certainly reflected in the taste and quality. The Summer Burrito with chicken has definitely become my favorite, and Boloco gives the option of substituting brown rice in the burrito or having the burrito in a bowl (for non-bread-eaters). The Mango Passion smoothie is also delicious. Boloco is generous with their cardholders (the cards are free). They seem to find several reasons throughout the year to delve out free burritos, and that's aside from the ones you earn by swiping the card with each purchase and the one you get on your birthday. I also won a bunch of free burritos for my office when they pulled my business card from the little bowl near the pick-up. Pretty cool! Their website and online ordering systems are really wonderful. I almost feel guilty skipping ahead of the long line to pick up my pre-ordered food. It can be a little awkward to catch someone's attention for an online order (short of waving your receipt around casually). I also love that the company is using biodegradable "plastic" containers for their smoothies, and encourages the recycling of their other containers. read more

They do good with single orders.. the prices went up but are still fair. The management at this location is great. Run by the most dynamic women who know how to treat the customer right. Beware orders of 3 or more.. the staff does make many mistakes but the sups do catch everything. read more

Today I tried the order online method of Boloco. You place your order on their website and you're given a time when your food will be ready to pickup. I did just that - chose what I wanted, paid and then was given a confirmation and a specific time for pick up. I arrived about 5 minutes before that specific time and I guess since they weren't too busy they made my order much in advance. Great, but even though they keep the burritos in a warming box, it didn't help the situation. My burrito was just barely above room temperature when I got it. Their food is better fresh and what I got was just kind of cold and mushy. The food is good, but just wait in line. Ordering online might save some time, but a cold burrito isn't that great of a lunch -- trust me. read more

Reminds me a of chipotle but they have too many different options. sometimes the simpler, the better. They "brand" themselves as Mexican cuisine, but they also have Chinese influences, a kids menu with chicken nuggets, and smoothies. I didn't see any connections between anything on their menu. It was all quite random. I ordered a Mexican burrito bowl, and it was okay. Definitely didn't blow me away. It was your typical fast "casual" type meal- nothing special or worth going back for! read more

Boloco - Boston - Classic Mexican bowl - New American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I hate to be "that guy" that complains about nutritional values at a Burrito place but... Boloco used to be one of my go to places for lunch until I saw the nutritional values of their burritos, simply stunning to read the amount of fat and sodium in all of the options. I certainly did not consider Boloco a place to go if you are trying to lose weight but they should try to offer at least one healthy option (even if you substitute tofu for the meats it is still very unhealthy). The food is very good (hard not when you have fat and salt I guess), the staff is very friendly and efficient at this location. I certainly give the company a lot of credit for posting the nutritional values (the calculator works really well) and for being so responsive to feedback on yelp and twitter- they are certainly very well run across the board. I just wish they tried to offer some healthier choices because I really like all the options you have at their stores read more

This is my 'go to' lunch pad when the midday hunger hits. Good deals for a great-portioned burrito (or burrito bowl). I frequent this location and also the one on School Street, both are great hits. Might I recommend the Buffalo or the Bangkok Thai (sub the cucumbers for broccoli, add black beans). Quick service, plenty of seating! read more

It's an okay place for lunch optjons. But with so many options around you can totally find better and cheaper food than Boloco. Though I don't count Boloco as a burrito joint. It really is the "inspired burrito" place. read more

If I could give this place six stars, I would. I work next door and get breakfast there once or twice a week. And it's breakfast, so I'm usually in a hurry. The staff is so fast, and friendly, that I'm in and out in 90 seconds, with a nice fresh and tasty bacon and egg burrito to eat at my desk. Lunch is good, too. read more

Let's start out with some history here: I'm from Utah. In Utah, we have lots of Mexicans and a lot of Mexican food. I have everything from Taco Bell to down and dirty, real deal street food and I generally love it all. Boloco for me is a very distant cousin of Chipotle and a place called Barbacoa that we only have in Utah (a blatant copy of Chipotle, but somehow more delicious.) Boloco, like these other places, is fun, simple, hip and quick. Everything that a 20 something like myself looks for in a quick and tasty food stop. Except for me, I don't find Boloco tasty one bit. When I first moved to Boston a couple months ago, coworkers introduced me to Boloco and initially I loved it. It was a far cry from what I was used to, but somehow it hit the spot. Well after a couple months and many, many breakfast and lunch burritos across the menu, I have determined that Boloco just is not good. Full disclosure here...I found a little piece of plastic in one of my Truck Stop breakfast burritos. I wasn't alarmed, but i was certainly surprised. I brought it to the attention of Boloco via twitter and they responded swiftly and admirably. I was compensated with a couple free items to make up for my messed up meal. But I was impressed. Their response through twitter was awesome and they had me smiling real quick. It was nothing to turn me away. But as I enjoyed those free menu items, day after day, I started to notice some common themes in Bolocos food. First, when I order to go and walk about 3 blocks (very short distance) back to my office, the food is 80% cold by the time i sit down at my desk. This doesnt make sense. The engineering design behind the burrito should guarantee retained heat for a good while. So as I started thinking through it, I noticed that one of the problems is that they load too much wet stuff in the burritos. It sucks out the heat and cools off anything warm. Piles of salsa as a filler rather than generous meat or rice. But even then, why isn't the rice holding its heat? It's all wrapped in a tortilla and tinfoil? I just dont get it. My next observation goes along with the first. Everything is always wet. It's always dripping. I got a Bacon Egg and Cheese with salsa this morning and as I watched them build the burrito, I watched them let water drain out of the eggs before they piled them in my burrito and then i watched the same with the salsa. It's all too wet. It doesn't just make everything cold, it makes everything wet and gross. It's not "juices" its water. Final observation is that the tortillas are WAY undercooked. There is no browning to them whatsoever. There is no crispness, no bubbling, etc. They basically just warm it up in the tortilla press. Not cool. This wouldn't be a deal breaker if not for the burrito getting cold and soggy. A flacid, wet tortilla does not a delicious burrito make. It just has to stop. I have to be honest and get this off my chest. I love them for treating me SO incredibly well with the whole plastic in the burrito thing, but their customer relations aren't the problem here, its the way they make burritos. And I'm struggling with the comments about this location being a good one. Although I have never had a negative experience with the staff here, I certainly have never had a positive one, especially in the mornings. I generally feel like I'm interrupting their food prep time when I order food. They seem disinterested in me and my order and are eager to get back to talking with their coworkers. Not rude. But not friendly. And when they mess my order up, I cant help but think that they really don't care. So thats that. Boloco, you've done good by me, but it's time to do good by your burritos. Lets take a look at these issues and make Boloco 100% better. I'm going to have Chipotle for lunch so I can fairly compare quality since I just had a Boloco for breakfast. I'll keep ya'll posted. read more

Review of their new rewards plan, not of this location. The staff here are great! Evidently Boloco doesn't appreciate their customers who pay cash. In order to sign up for the new rewards program, you must link your account to a credit or debit card. No credit/debit card, no rewards for you! That stinks. They just lost a customer who goes to this location once a week. read more

I'll just put the disclaimer out front that I am a die-hard Felipe's fan and also lived in Texas, but thought I'd give Bolocco a try. They have a deal that you can get two burritos after 7pm for $9, which is pretty good. I went with a friend and we asked for them as bowls with no tortilla, to try to cut carbs a bit, (even though they still come with rice). I have to admit, I was actually a little hungry afterwards - they are noticeably smaller than Qdoba, although better. We ordered a Classic and a Bangkok Chicken. I think my main finding was that if you want Tex-Mex, go to Felipe's, but if you want something else, Boloco is your place. The classic was a little bland, but the Bangkok chicken packed a lot of flavor in. But, get the tortilla if you expect it to be your meal. read more

Why is everything so WET??? Burritos are DRIPPING and the bowls are soaking in water. Ew

The salads are deceptively filling, yet still on the small side for the price. I was charged extra for two meats, but most of my salad consisted of feta cheese and undercooked veggies. I ordered online, and when I picked the order up, the employees were polite and gave great customer service - but whoever made the salad left the rice out! I'm willing to try this Boloco again, but I will order inside to ensure all ingredients are included to my request. -2 stars for the missing component and badly-cooked broccoli. It was cold when I opened the bag, and I only work 1 building away! The side tortilla chips were good and countered the spicy meal well. I also had a strawberry smoothie with chocolate sauce. It was awesome- like a chocolate-dipped strawberry met frozen yogurt and drowned in apple juice. Wasn't sure how it would taste when I ordered it, but the smoothie was top-notch. read more

First off, the food at Boloco is delicious and the people working at this location are always friendly. However, the past two times I have ordered from there using the online ordering I have not gotten what I asked for. The first time, I ordered a combo meal but when I got in the store, they said that they did not serve those but would make it for me. If it's not available at this location, why is it on the website as an option? Then, the burrito that they gave me was entirely the wrong thing, clearly someone else's. Then today, I ordered a salad and a snack wrap (just cheese and a wrap) but I got a chicken wrap instead. Unfortunately, it is pretty much impossible to tell if you have the right order until you take a bite. read more

My favorite Boloco. They handle the lunch rush like no other. Amazing online ordering so you don't have to wait in line, they NEVER screw up, they're super friendly and efficient. AWESOME STAFF! Keep it up. read more

Compostable cups, sincere recycling efforts, an inspired menu including tofu options ....boloco is one enlightened burrito joint. Great customer service to boot. Consistently great! read more

Boloco upper management, are you listening? The team at this location is nonpareil. Even during busy lunch hours, they are all smiling, working together, and taking orders through delivery without missing a beat. They are friendly and attentive and since I come in for lunch almost daily, they have started to ask how I'm doing, etc. I've been to other locations but am and continue to be impressed with the service here - super awesome. read more

I work a block away from this location, so I make sure to stop by once a month for a delicious mexican fix, which this place always delivers. Lately I've been opting for the bowls, and I always "goloco" as I prefer to tailor my meal to satisfy my hunger. I can attest that both the burritos and the bowls are delicious options. The food is fresh, fast and filling! They also have an online ordering feature, which I usually use because it saves me a couple of minutes of having to stand in line. I've been to 4 of the locations so far, and they have all been very good. I'm a big fan of their guacomole, which I would recommend to anyone to add to their meal. read more

No gaseous ruminations to report. Oh, and the teriyaki burrito is awesome too.

This location does a good job of getting your order right. I like the mini truck stop burrito for breakfast and I make my own burrito bowl up for lunch. The prices are reasonable the food tastes good. Service is good at this spot. read more

This Boloco is close to my work and makes my buffalo Chicken buritto just the way I like it. Plus if you order on line they have it available when you walk over. Maybe it's because I go there so often but they know me by name now. It's one of the few places you can get healthier options like brown rice and a whole wheat wrap. The people who staff this Boloco are also very friendly and helpful. read more

Straight and to the point. There's a reason I come here everyday for lunch, their dope burrito bowls. I usually substitute the rice for lettuce to opt for a healthier option. Try the teriyaki bowl, add cilantro, and you'll be hooked. Boloco 4 life. Its a chain and they can only do so much. Expect Del taco, they get straight 5's read more

Similiar to Moe's and/or Chipolte, although not a fan of Chilpolte. I was plesantly surprised with my burrito. I ordered the summer (I think). I like that they offered a variety of sizes including the mini. I would order a kids at Moe's. What I didn't like was that they offered different kinds of meats which were different prices. White meat chicken was more expensive than the beef option. And the beef option was the same price as the "other" chicken parts option. Doesn't seem right to me. But it was quick, they had plenty of pp working. I wished they would have asked if I wanted anything else on it as it was "pushed" through the conveyor line of being made. read more

I know this place is known for the burritos, which are quite tasty, but here's a little secret: the salads are really good. True story. Now I basically go to Boloco just for the salad. Convenient, reasonably priced, and tasty enough. The staff is pretty friendly and polite, too. Tip: I would avoid going at peak lunch hour as sometimes there is a line, though it moves pretty quick. Go at an off time or order ahead. read more
