I always like to go to get a burrito in this place, but they do need more seats, was there early tonight, it was busy, no seats to sit down, asked a group on a table if I can borrow a chair, the guy said no, I do not think place like this should let people keep seats for other people because it's a fast food place! read more

Boojum - chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Dublin, D

First time try of either Boojum location. Initial thoughts were good; fast, friendly and informative staff. Interior is as you would expect and it works fine. They will do very well from the DIT crowd next door. Burrito was large! Loads of meat in there and everything else. Taste is good not great. Just lacking that wow factor in seasoning and balance of different flavour components. Sort of just became one big meat fest. That appeals to plenty I'm sure. That said still a tasty burrito. Only real negative was how it was assembled. It was big but not neatly rolled and very very sloppy, so it was more difficult to eat than most I have tried around the city. Had to use 4 napkins to clean my hands! I guess juice from the meat, the salsa, the beans, the sour cream all mixed. I have eaten Burritos all over the place and in Ireland plenty also. This was one of the wettest. Also all meat was at one end and cheese n sour cream at the other so not very balanced. Another thing which surprised me was the hot sauces on the tables. The green jalapeño one has blue and yellow colourant in it to make it bright green! Has the world not moved on from food colouring?! The others all have sodium benzoate as preservatives. I love hit sauce but I don't want that shit in my system. I will definitely try it again, good value and tasty but I will avoid the hot sauces unless they change em and I will ask for a better roll. Boojum just roll em better please! read more

Apparently this is a college hang out. Ah, those were the days... but I digress. These burritos are huge. A just reward after the huge queue. The locals were telling me about the huge menu and ordering instructions. Very sweet of them but I just responded that I spent years in California, Arizona, and Texas so this isn't news to me. ;-p This is my second favorite burrito joint in Dublin after Pablo Picante. read more

Absolutely freaking delicious. This is essentially a local version of an American favorite - Qdoba - but with much better, tastier ingredients. The ordering process is much the same: pick the type of meal you'd like (burrito, tacos, nachos, bowl, etc), pick the meat / beans / salsa you'd like (meat choices include beef, chicken, carnitas, chili con carne, etc) and then add any special items or additions (lettuce, cheese, jalapeños, etc) and go. It was highly recommended to me by my Irish colleagues. Went with the burrito bowl (which lacks any type of shell, for reference) with chicken, pinto beans, Mexican savory rice, tomato salsa, cheese and sour cream. Phenomenal. Chicken was grilled to perfection, rice was arguably the best part of the meal (incredible taste), and everything else was spot on. Service was great. The only downside of this place: it is BUSY. Line was out the door when we arrived and there wasn't any place to sit so we had to take away - but it is totally worth the (rather short, even out the door) wait! read more

There may be no food more perfect than a well-made burrito.When you think about it, hefty tortilla, steamed and pliable, filled with beans, meat, and vegetables, customizable to the extreme. My favourite burrito joint in Dublin is Boojum. Well made and very tasty. You also have the whole wheat option. Washed down with some tasty beer. They have some great beer from San Francisco, Anchor steam. If in Boojum try it. It really works well with the food. Also I could eat a gallon of their guacamole. Although please try it on the tortilla chips. read more

Really good burrito place for an amazing price of 6€ for students. They have amazing meat selection and you can even get a wholewheat tortilla for the healthy option. I had the wholewheat burrito with chorizo and green salsa it was amazing and very filling. The staff is very friendly and the service is quick. Good place to take away but also to sit and have a casual tasty burrito. read more

I've been a customer of Boojum for over two years now. I was dragged to come and I've never been so satisfied by a burrito so much in my life. The rice....UNREAL the chicken MEGA UNREAL and the staff some of the friendliest people I've ever met. After saying all of that I had to join the family and work here! Another amazing thing I've done! These guys are the BEES KNEES and although I don't work here anymore I can never get enough! I want a burrito right now! :D read more

As you will have noticed in my review of Boojum on the Millennium Walkway, Boojum scores very high on my Personal Happiness scale, so you can imagine my joy when one of the staff told me that they were opening a second restaurant just off Wexford Street. While this is not exactly around the corner from where I live, it is a very interesting area of the city, and the combination of lots of bars and a Boojum restaurant surely makes it even more interesting. I won't spend too much time describing it, as all the 5 star ammenities that apply to the other Boojum can be copied verbatim to this place: amazing food, friendly and smiling staff, cheap beer, cool background music and happy interior decoration. This place is also about twice the size of the original, so you'll have some more lebensraum while you eat your burrito. What was also great is that when I was first there, 2 days after they opened, their liquor license hadn't been validated yet, so all the beer was free. I am aware that this place was not actually part of the Yelp Burrito Blowout, but I decided to add it anyway. As we are nearing the end of our tour around Dublin's burrito scene, there are some things I'd like to talk about. I think it is safe to say that burritos have survived the Hype stage and are here to stay. When I moved to Dublin, almost 8 years ago now, Mexican food was hard to come by and the only place I can remember from those days was the mediocre and now long-gone Alamo in Temple Bar. These days, burritos are almost as common in the Dublin cityscape as they are in San Francisco or Los Angeles. WHY is that? Why did the Irish people all of a sudden become crazy about Mexican food? The normal explanation that people come up with to explain things like this (migration) does not hold up here. There is no significant Mexican population in Ireland and, as far as I know, there is no large Irish expat community in Mexico either (though I'm sure they have a bunch of Irish pubs, a road sign saying 'Killarney 3,756 miles' and at least one hurling team somewhere). So if there are little or no Mexican migrants here, how did we end up with an abundance of their food? Perhaps it's something a bit more subliminal. Mexico and Ireland, at first glance, don't seem to have an awful lot in common, but if you dig a bit deeper, you will see that they have more in common than you realize. Until relatively recently, both Mexico and Ireland were quite poor countries, with an economy relying predominantly on agricultural produce. They're both Catholic countries and historically both have always been overshadowed by a rich, strong, industrialized neighbour that always stole their thunder. And to the outside world, both Ireland and Mexico have a reputation as laid-back, easy going people whose main claim to international fame is based on alcoholic drinks. Ask 10 people anywhere in the world about the first thing they think of when you say Ireland, and I'll bet that 8 of them will shout "GUINNESS!" before you can even get your notepad out. Similarly, ask people the same question about Mexico, and most of them will probably come up with either Tequila or Corona. Ofcourse, this is all quite stereotypical, as are sombrero hats and leprechauns, but that's how it is. Maybe this upsurge in interest for Mexican food can, some years down the line, lead to a bit more nuanced mutual picture of both countries. Perhaps Irish people, instead of reaching for the tequila bottle, will think of Mexicans predominantly as purveyors of fine food while Mexicans think of Irish people as those who like to eat it. Who knows? In the end, I thoroughly enjoyed the Yelp Burrito Blowout. We visited a number of places I may not have come across on my own, which is always a good thing. What is also a positive thing I took away from this is that all places we visited were GOOD. Some places were better than others, ofcourse, but on no occasion did I disqualify the food as being mediocre or tasteless: All burritos were of a high standard. As I mentioned at the start, the burrito is here to stay and, with the quality that is currently on offer, it can only go from strength to strength. And if that isn't a good reason to crack open a cold Corona, I don't know what is. read more

Absolutely amazing. Decent price, enormous fajitas/burritos, very friendly staff. My only mistake was to eat two, god the evening was long

Definitely the best burrito branch in dublin (i think i've tried them all now!). By far the tastiest meat and freshest ingredients. They also have the best selection of drinks if you're looking to eat in. A great value lunch/dinner. read more

Only been to Boojum twice, but it was a great experience both times! They do a great student deal, and the staff are so so friendly and efficient. There is a good choice of different meats - I'd love to try the chorizo! Also, the variety of drinks and beers available are brilliant. Would recommend to anyone! read more

I've been here sooo many times! When I arrived in Dublin I was looking for a Chipotle like burrito place. First tried one on Camden St. Didn't like it. And then I found Boojum. Great great burritos (I love the chicken burrito bowl). The place looks awesome, the staff is young, hipster and nice! Very clean, good music, great place! read more

Honestly, I'm not as impressed by this place as everyone else. When it comes to quantity they provide in burrito they don't give as much in a burrito as Burrito's and Blues down the street. I don't think the service is that good. And the few times I've eaten here I have found the salsa to be just ok, and the beans in the burrito to be a bit under-cooked. I do like the layout of the restaurant and the seating. They also do a good job of getting people through line quickly and I do agree that they flavor the meat well. read more

So good. So so so good. My stamp card is full and the place has only been open for a few weeks.

I've eaten many the burrito (too many, definitely) and I'm currently well on my way to my fortieth Boojum burrito and hence, a t-shirt (and glory, obviously). This is eat-in and take-away but due to its proximity to my work I'd generally take away. However, it's a buzzing, casual place, colourful and bright, mostly populated with college students from DIT Kevin St. The burritos themselves are just amazing. Weighing in at roughly the same weight as a puppy, they'll certainly fill you, and the meats are always done to perfection. I'd actually really like to know how they cook their chicken, because it's the tits. King of Burritos is a fair title. read more

What can you say, just as good as its Northside branch. Best burritos in Dublin imo. Also, decor is cooler!

I went here recently at lunch time and got the burrito box, yummy yummy yummy. It was so tasty and a huge portion. Great choice of toppings. There is always a big line of customers at lunch time rush hour(always a good sign) and they get through it pretty quick. Great price for the portion size. Must go back soon!!!!. read more

I am a HUGE fan of Boojum and can only say it is fantastic. They offer student discounts but be ready to show your student card or they will not give you the discount. There is always a que at lunch time but it moves fast. I usually get the chicken burrito bowl. I wish they cut the chicken up into smaller bite sized pieces solely for the reason that I inhale the burrito bowl once i sit down and don't want to have to slow down to cut up the chicken into smaller pieces. :) By the way, the only reason I knocked a star is because i am forever loyal to Chipolte in the US/UK and I don't think any Mexican place can top them but Boojum give Chipolte a run for their money. It is the same set up and menu! If you haven't tried Boojum yet - what are you waiting for? GO! read more

Well priced and enjoyable Mexican joint in Dublin. Based on reviews my expectations were a bit higher. To someone coming from the US this is fairly comparable to a chipotle (although probably a little better) read more

This is the best burrito in Dublin. Their carnitas is simply superb. For me, the makings of a good burrito lies in the salsa, and their salsa roja is a must. I like spicy, but spicy aimed at flavour enhancement and not burning the mouth off ya, so I really love coming here. The staff are all really sound too. This place can get a bit mental around lunch time, but the staff are always really pleasant and welcoming. Also, they play brilliant music (Black Keys, Thin Lizzy, Talking Heads, Fleetwood Mac, etc) at that perfect level too; loud enough to hear it, but soft enough for you to easily talk over it. They generally keep one artist/album playing, which I like. You can get the standard loyalty card too, earning a free burrito (with extra meat and every add on!) for every ten you buy. A nice touch is that once you earn four free burritos, you also get a free t-shirt. I spent around nine months living in and travelling around California, and I would say that this place is as good if not better than some of the places I ate at their. So, CALIFORNIANS, AMERICANS IN GENERAL, if you're craving some decent Mexican food during your visit to Dublin, Boojum on Kevin Street is the place to go. read more

Cannot actually say enough good things abut this place... Staff are extremely friendly and always look like they're having a great time, the ingredients are always so fresh and of great quality, the lunch deal for students is such good value for money and they always play great music! read more

Best burritos in town! These guys put up with me and my housemates coming in every week and ordering like six burritos at a time, which is super annoying and complicated. They're legends! Never going to any other burrito restaurants again. NEVER. read more

A cut above the other burrito places around Dublin. Good amount of food for the price and yo u can get in and out pretty quick as long as you avoid lunch time during the week. read more

Best burrito's in Dublin, as good as it gets, not sure I even need to say much more than that!! Do yourself a favour & pay them a visit!

Worst burrito I've EVER had. Actual dog shit in tinfoil. I ordered a (disgusting) bean and cheese burrito and they served it cold!! Like what??? I don't get that. All I want is a warm burrito. If you want real heavenly gorgeous Mexican food you should go to pablo picantes. They really know how to make a good burrito!! Not the one on the quays though. Go to pablos picantes on Clarendon street! You won't regret it!!!!!! read more

Love this place!! Really good burritos and the staff make it that much better. Really chatty nice guy behind counter who not only makes sure you get as many different fillings as you want but also seems to know interesting facts about the fillings themselves. Definitely a place to drop into before going to the pub. read more

I had my first burrito ever in my life here and I was delighted to eat heaven on earth! The aesthetic is great, the rice in my burrito was to die for, and the prices were reasonable especially with the student deal! €6.50 for a burrito and a can of soda! And you feel sooo full! I'm coming back again and again! read more

Went here with my 11 year old son for a treat after music practice in Waltons, and he is still raving! I have to admit it was amazing value and so fresh and tasty. The girl let us in a bit earlier than opening time at noon, and a queue started to form outside. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere 'rustic Mexican' with colourful authentic kitsch oilcloths. read more

Friendliest staff in town. Lunch time usually means a queue way out the door, however this moves fast due to the swift service. Food is always great and amazing value. Good man, Boojum! read more

Very disappointing service, it can be nice when they have stock, but 9/10 times they will not have nachos after 8 o'clock in the evening, it's almost as if they use the last two hours of opening, to sell off what they have left or the staff can't bothered turning on the deep fryer for tortilla chips that take 30-60 secs to cook, either way it's lazy and shows they care more about their own convenience than the customers. read more

can't go wrong with the chicken burrito. comparable to chipotle if you're from the states

well of course, free burrito - yes please! free burrito event tonight and OMG - so yum. 45 minute wait, but hey - free is free. staff were super nice and they were churning people through really quick - definitely recommend. Just only thing with the Kevin st location is there is seating outside. but overall, big fan of Boojum! read more

the Irish chipotle. literally just like chipotle in the United States. yummy filling burrito bowl for a very reasonable price. bring your student ID because they have student discounts! read more

Utterly magnificent burritos.. Treat yourself. Great atmosphere too and lovely staff.

6 euro for lunch, you can't got too far wrong! My favourite is the burrito bowl only because it's a little less messy. The staff are lovely and it's right between DIT Kevin street and Aungier Street so as a student it's perfect read more

the best fast food mexican ive ever had..friendly staff nice fresh food unlike some ff mexican places.full marks
