I had a meeting in the Spadina/Bloor W area yesterday so picked up a small chicken burrito for supper at Burrito Bandidos. There were lots of ingredients to choose from and I got chicken, cheese, rice, beans, salsa, corn, tomatoes and burrito sauce. Apparently small burritos are a pound and this is quite heavy! It's a small spot with a couple of stools so I ate half of it on a picnic table outside on the sidewalk (it's a nice day) and I'll have the rest later. read more

I used to love this place (before C19) for its tasty, massive burrito, fresh ingredients cooked to perfection, and attentive service. While the burrito is still massive and the ingredients fresh, the service has really deteriorated: the burrito is barely cooked (used to be hot, now it's lukewarm) and makes me wonder if it's save to eat. The counter service person (last summer) was unhelpful and rude, making excuses like it's been a long week, but then is polite to other customers. I have not been back since and will likely find somewhere else to eat while I'm in the area. read more

i got the chicken and steak bowl. chicken was great but the steak was a little dry. good portion size and the workers were very kind and efficient. i ate about ten minutes after buying it and it was a little cold but still tasted alright. read more

So its a storefront burrito place, with a couple of tables outside. The prices are good, and the bean burrito is tasty and especially a bargain. Staff are friendly. Not worth a trip across town but for a filling burrito at a good price, fulfils its mission well. It doesnt deserve a michelin star nor is it aiming to. read more

Yuck! Inedible! When I took my chicken burrito out of the bag, peeled back the paper and took a bite, this soupy mess exploded all over my clothes and the floor. The tortilla had dissolved into a floury paste and even the foil wrapper could not contain the watery stew. I put it in a bowl, picked at the dried out chicken bits and tried to eat the rest of it with a spoon - it was late and I was really hungry. But it was disgusting and I gave up. For years, Burrito Bandidos on Walmer was good, but something changed lately and now it is awful. Time to find a new burito place in the Annex. read more

This was my first visit, and I really enjoyed my food here. I will definitely be back asap.

My friend, Eric, and I have eaten lunch here before without any complaints. That's why today was so surprising. We each order a vegetarian burrito but his was extra spicy and no onions. He hates onions. A lady prepared the toppings and gentleman cooking the protein placed the protein into each burrito wrap and labelled the paper bags so we'd know which is which. He got it backwards. We each took a few bites before Eric gagged from the foul taste of onions (his words, not mine!). He went in to explain that the burritos were mis-labelled. I could live with the absence of delectable onions (my words, not Eric's) and it being a bit too spicy. Eric stood there waiting for the gentleman to offer to make him a new burrito. They stared at one another and the silence was deafening. It was truly a Mexican standoff. No correction was offered. Eric asked the gentleman to chuck the burrito in the waste basket and felt as if he'd been wronged by a bandido. I agree with Eric. What do you think? read more

While I was holding my burrito in my hands I was thinking it had to be at least a good 2.5 pounds. It filled me up for hours too - I felt satiated for a good 6 hours. My go-to order is now the large steak burrito, all toppings but spice. I really like how they press their burritos so that they're extra crunchy on the outside and warm on the inside. It takes a bit longer but it's worth the wait! Bonus points for the hilarious onion articles they have printed out on a wall! read more

Pulled pork burrito! Jesus H, count me in. Ooooo it was delicious! (Went last week) My friend had a halibut burrito which she gave 2 thumbs up. The toppings here are tasty, decent guac and tasty sauce. Everything seemed fresh and the place was immaculately tidy. To be honest, I'm not a hardcore burrito fan so I can't compare it to a zillion other burrito places. (I went with a picky-eater person so burritos are right up her alley). But it was really tasty. Employees were all really friendly too. read more

Burrito Bandidos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I was craving some burritos, so I finally decided to check out Burrito Bandidos on Bloor ST. I've always been a bit wary of Tex-Mex, because the flavors never really meet my expectations. In regards to flavors, Burrito Bandidos is definitely a step ahead of places like Taco Ball and Taco Time. I had the small pulled pork burrito with everything on it for $6.15. The burritos are freshly made in front of you, so you might have to wait longer than most fast-food joints. My burrito took about 10-15 minutes, and the restaurant was empty. Burrito Bandidos is more of a take-out place. This location's eat-in area is a bit cramped, and only accommodates 3-4 people. The burrito was huge! The hot sauce was one of the hottest I've had in Toronto, and that's a good thing! All the flavors were there, and it tasted fresh. But... There's always a but... There were some minor problems: the pork was dry, and the burrito was way too greasy. I couldn't even finish the whole thing because it was so big! Halfway through, I just gave up. Burrito Bandidos is still better than Taco Bell and Taco Time, but not by much. read more

Burrito Bandidos - Pork Burrito from Burrito Bandidos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Love this place. The food and staff earn this business top marks for quality. Haven't gone into the meat area of their offerings but I am a huge fan of their bean and cheese perfect for vegetarians. Price wise it's hard to beat when you compare it to more expensive "gourmet" burrito joints that have been sweeping Toronto lately. Under 6 for a basic burrito packed perfectly with all the fixins! If you are a fan of spicy kick, their peppers are a must and compliment their salsa and guac mix. The line ups can get long and I have waited for 15 mins to get my hands on their product, this is not a fault, yet a drawback of success. Although expansion would solve this problem the idea of making their burritos into something resembling mcdonalds is hugely negative and I am content to wait for my food. I like to think of it as giving me time to work up my appetite and really savor the food. Definite 5! read more

Burrito Bandidos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Had it for the first time today. I got the large burrito with pulled pork. Had to wait around 10 to 15 minutes. Taste was okay, nothing special. Size was surprisingly small for a large, compared to a lot of other burrito places I tried for similar prices. I asked for extra rice, too, so the burrito would have been smaller. Would visit again because it's close, but if there were other burrito places closer by, I am not sure if I would neccessarily choose here. read more

Went here the other day on the way to school. I ordered a steak burrito and got a wide array of toppings from guac (free!!) to ghost pepper sauce (which was actually pretty spicy). The guac didnt look like it was made daily as there was quite a bit of oxidization going on and it was a darker green colour with some brown here and there. The burrito itself was massive. It took me a while to get through the whole thing. The steak was good but I couldn't get a discernible taste of it as there were so many other toppings in the burrito. The rice that they used for the burrito was the brown seasoned Mexican rice, and they had refried pinto beans served alongside it (no choice of rice and beans though, not that it was a big deal). They had all the standard burrito toppings as well and the free guac and ghost pepper was definitely a bonus. I didn't try it but they also have a shrimp burrito which I heard from my friend is pretty good, there are also meat combinations that you can get. Because Bang Bang is literally 1 min away I think a comparison is a must. I would say that Bang Bang has more variety in burrito toppings as well as meats, the burrito is maybe slightly smaller but still pretty big, the price is roughly the same and it tastes a little better. I think i prefer Bang Bang in the end but they are both great options! read more

This restaurant needs to take a few lessons on the topic of customer service. As I ordered my food at the restaurant I was told by the employee that she did not have time for me therefore she needed me to already know what I wanted to order. As I was waiting for my burrito to be made the customers in the store were pushed aside in order to finish online orders that were not even ready to be picked up yet. Overall, the quality and the service of the place was not welcoming at all. The one employee was very rude and passive. read more

The halibut burrito is a personal favourite. Since it takes awhile to cook, we'll usually order it ahead of time, then swing by to pick it up or to eat it right away. It's heavy enough for splitting between the two of us. Clientele: Hungry male customers whose girlfriends are away for the weekend. read more

I live nearby so we ate here numerous times but in the past few months, they've gone down the drain. I was hoping my bad experiences were rare but they turned out not to be. On one occassion, our burritos were poorly constructed, fell apart and leaked through the wrappers. But this wasn't the worst. I ordered a burrito without cheese and sour cream for someone that's lactose intolerant and I clearly stated that over the phone, yet it still contained cheese and sour cream. They even labelled the bag as "no dairy". They reimbursed me and gave me a free order for the next time so I decided to give it a chance and 2 weeks later, I placed the exact same order. This time the burrito didn't contain dairy but they put it in the wrong bag and incorrectly labelled my bag as non-dairy. Absolutely careless and incompetent staff! I won't even bother complaing to them again. We obviously will no longer eat there and my advice is to avoid this place unless you don't care about getting your order right. read more

Hey guys, I've been meaning to review this place for ages as it's my go-to place for a great burrito! All of the veggies are super fresh, the meats and shrimp are great and everything is just incredibly tasty. My latest addiction is the Steak & Shrimp burrito, a great combination of surf and turf. The portions are great, small is filling, large is enough to satisfy just about any appetite. I highly recommend this place for fast, good food. The only negative, which I'm not counting in the rating as I care most about food, is that there is VERY limited seating. I'll post a mouth-watering photo asap. :) Thanks read more

Burrito Bandidos - Preparation of a burrito, a work of art! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've never left a 5-star review before. This is a 5-star review based on the last three times I went. I'm sure I've been there a few times before and it wasn't perfect, and I'm sure as I continue to go there there will be a few times that are so -so. BUT THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE LAST THREE TIMES I WENT. I have been there three times in the last couple of weeks because I'm pregnant LOL. This is really a shout out to the one person who makes my burritos every time. They have long hair, false eyelashes, wears a skirt (possibly transgender is what I'm trying to delicately tiptoe around). I don't want to be too specific and make them uncomfortable, but I do want to describe them so I can be specific about the actual person who has been making my food. I have been picky as heck like a pregnant woman with food aversion but still somehow an obsession with burritos. It's the same order every time, but it's the kind of order that's like "light on these toppings, heavy on these other toppings", and I kind of creepily stand there and have them adjust it as they go, even though I know it is horrible manners (it's not my fault, I can't help it that the baby hasn't learned manners yet and is picky AF lol). But this person does it without a complaint every time. One time they actually accidentally burned the outside, and I was concerned about eating burned (some burned foods are carcinogenic), so I asked him to scrape off the burnt part. I felt like an asshole but they did it (and waited until I left before they rolled their eyes probably LOL, but I really can't blame them). Well anyway, I've never left a 5-star review before. So hopefully that speaks for itself. Thanks again buddy, see you next week . read more

Soupy burrito sadness! I had the sloppiest burrito i've ever experienced at Burrito Bandidos recently. I opted for a whole wheat tortilla TVP veggie burrito (sans cheese/sour cream), and it was just a hot, wet mess. Barely flavourful, either. I've had so many terrific veggie burritos around this city (with either beans or TVP), so I fail to understand how it's so hard to get wrong. Also, very little seating, or even waiting space - can make it pretty awkward when there's a rush! I was seated eating already and there was a rush and I felt like people were standing right on top of me as I ate. On the plus side, they're veg-friendly and the portion sizes are decent. That scrapes them through with 2 stars. But it's really not worth the money or my time, even though it's barely a 2 minute walk for me to get there from home. I should know better and go to Big Fat Burrito next time. read more

I'm done with mediocre burrito places. Both Burrito Bandidos and Burrito Boyz. I'm sure someone will read this and tell me once again "Have you tried the halibut burrito? It's so awesome!". Frankly, shut your face. If I'm going to have a burrito I'm going to have meat. If I wanted fish, I would go to The Combine and get their awesome fish tacos. So let's talk about last night's experience. The girl taking my order couldn't get it right. I had to repeat myself at least twice on each ingredient. If she had just taken a breath, finished the one burrito she was working on then moved onto mine, it would have been fine. They weren't that busy, take your time, slow down, and provide some customer service. You get a scoop of beans, fine, but I don't really like eating some slop that looks like cat food. Where's the choice? Give me some black beans. Next they put on a few kernels of rice which quickly get absorbed by the bean slop and are gone forever. Now that I've tried this type of burrito a couple times before I had the foresight to skip the lettuce so that I wouldn't have a warm green mush of what used to be lettuce once they grill my burrito. Compared to other places they don't charge extra for quac, which is nice, except that you get about a tablespoon of it. I would rather pay the extra like at Chipotle and have enough guac so that I could actually tell there was some on my burrito. They're also chintzy with the sour cream, one quick squirt, that's all you get. I'll give them props on the amount of meat. I got a decent portion of pork, though the flavour could have been a little more outstanding. The girl behind the till was friendly and smiley. Good job! Wish I had grabbed her name so that I could call her out here. Bandidos is the right name for this place since I felt pretty robbed when I got through the till. $9 got me the small pork burrito and a chocolate milk. Portion wise, I would say this is a fair price. Quality wise, it is far from it. Which brings me to my next point of the enjoyment (or lack there of) of my burrito. As I walked home I tore off the top half of the wrapping to discover a HEAVILY grilled burrito. So not only did I get the taste of burnt tortilla in some of my bites, after a couple bites in the tortilla cracked open and started leaking everywhere. What I found on the inside of my burrito was bean slop and pork with little chunks of bell peppers. All of the other ingredients in the burrito had become unidentifiable. Finally, let's talk about the time factor. There were about 5 people ahead of me when I walked in. After waiting 15 minutes I got the silver wrapper of what this place calls a burrito in my hand. Why does it take so long? Get a clam-shell grill or a panini press, or a convection oven to toast the burritos with. The technology exists to cook both sides of the burrito at the SAME TIME!! Let's sum things up in some easy to read pros and cons: PROS: - Good portion of meat - Benches to sit on while you wait an extraordinary amount of time for your food - Friendly girl at the cash register CONS: - EVERYTHING ELSE! read more

The greatest "open" secret to this place is this: call ahead for pick up. Visit this place once and read the menu, intently. Memorize it even. Because the next time you want to drop by and pick up burritto, you'll save ten to fifteen minutes by calling ahead. No, you can't bring a date here. There are only two or three stools inside the store. And it's too small - gets crowded with five people. This is a pick up place. I mean, "order and pick up" place. I always enjoy the food. I always get the beef steak without spice. I heard that it can really be spicy. Chicken burritto is a perhaps a healthier choice but not that much. I'm a fan. Of the less healthier choice - beef steak, no spice. Yay! read more

Best. Vegan. Burrito. Ever. I have dreams about this burrito......the delicious ground soy, the guacamole, the refried beans, the jalapenos - wheeeee!!!! You can also get it with cheese and sour cream, but honestly, they couldn't possibly make it any better, so ask them to make it vegan! They grill it, which adds a whole new flavour dimension to the tortilla. I always call on my way (it takes up to ten minutes, depending on how busy they are), and it's ready for me when I arrive. The only time I had to wait was on Pantless Sunday, when it was filled with U of T students in their underpants....apparently that earned them a discount? The students stopped harassing me to take mine off when I told them I was going commando. Anyway - go try the veggie burrito! read more

I don't know if no one in Toronto has ever had an actual burrito before... There's nothing very burrito-y about these sandwiches. The food here is pretty damn good, these are great sandwich wraps- these are not burritos, and I'm surprised that they've won best burrito in Toronto because seriously, I have never had a burrito like this. And I have had a fair share of burritos back home in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago, deep in the heart of Texas, and honestly, it's one of my favorite foods, i try to pick it up any city I go to, including Berlin, Riyadh, and Beijing (the weirdest burrito ever). Again, it's a great place to grab a hearty bite, although their salsa comes in those costco-sized jugs (you can tell) and seriously, I'm not sure what the sauce combination is in these things (it's good, but mysterious). It's just not a burrito. It's a really good wrap though. I'd recommend the Steak burrito on wheat, pretty delicious. Onto the service: They're very quick, and even when the lunch crowd is heading in they're extremely good about keeping the line moving (and have never messed up my order! I've been here a good few times). They staff is courteous and is good about shepherding the crowd without sounding annoyed about it (it's a small store, maybe five stools and one bench to sit on, there's also a picnic bench outside for when the weather's good). I'd recommend it, pretty highly. I approach this place the way I approach Soy Milk- I don't think of it as milk, but i find it really yummy all the same. They're not serving burritos, but they're serving some pretty darn good tex-mex themed sandwiches. Try it, you won't be sorry :) Oh! Also, before I forget! To avoid the lineup you can call in your order a few minutes ahead, it's a nice quick option for if you already know what you want (all their ingredients and combos are available on their website, so it's good for first timers too) read more

Finding good Tex-Mex or Mexican food in Toronto is as difficult as finding polar bears in Mexico, which is why Burrito Bandidos is a 5* joint by Toronto standard. The burritos are packed with toppings including guac, red/green peppers, tomatoes, corn, and a variety of tasty sauces! The prices are more reasonable than other burrito joints I've been to in the city, and on top of that the servings at this location are bigger too! My small pulled pork burrito was hefty and juicy enough to satisfy both my taste buds and hunger after the gym. The staff are nice and sociable, and the wait times at this location is very tolerable even when it's 'busy'. No w/c but they provide a hand sanitizer! read more

It was a pork kind of day. For myself, the pork quesadilla with everything (cheese, tomatoes, green onions, green peppers, jalapeños) and for The Man, a large pulled pork burrito with everything (Mexican rice, lettuce, jalapeños, tomatoes, green onion, guacamole, cheese, green pepper) except refried beans... bean-hater. I watched the empleado behind the counter while we were waiting for our food, and my God, do these people have technique. I'm not sure exactly how to explain this magical talent... but the guy was able to sprinkle tomatoes, peppers, cheese, across the giant tortillas *evenly*, and in one fell swoop. Also, Bandidos somehow manages to make their whole wheat tortillas pliable and delicious. If you've ever constructed your own burritos, or whole wheat pita sandwiches at home, you understand the plight of crumbling whole wheat-goodness. ('Screw health, next time I'm finding the whitest tortilla/pita I can!') Really the thing I don't enjoy about this place is the teensy space that you get to wait for your food in. Yes, there are some stools... but if some jackass decides to sit in the middle one, it makes things so... awkward. Next time we will try the famous halibut... we saw one being made, and it literally looked like a big fried delicious fishstick. COOL! Great tex-mex. read more

Apparently this place won awards about a decade ago but it's bad. Like real bad. The short version is this: you get about $5 worth of mediocre food for $11. I want an $11 quesadilla leave me full but this is barely a snack. The quality is fine; what I would expect from a hole in the wall. But the value is atrocious. The only reason I gave 2 instead of 1 star is because they are open late when many others aren't. But I seriously recommend this place only if you're on the brink of starvation at 11:30 pm. read more

Hands down the best burrito in Toronto, that keeps me coming back! My go to food during exams, when I have a craving for something filling and flavourful. I have tried the chicken, steak, and shrimp burrito bowls and all are fantastic. The meat is always extremely flavourful and abundant- they definitely do not skimp on the meat. The guacamole, tomatoes, green onions, peppers and cilantro always taste fresh. The burrito sauce and hot sauce are actually spicey in comparison to places like Chipolte. The portions are extremely generous for the price point (a small burrito bowl will leave you quite full). The service is friendly and efficient. read more

Bloor West, between St. George to Bathurst is largely missing lunch spots that are fast, affordable, and filling. Burrito Bandidos is one of those few, precious, locations where you can get truly delicious food at very reasonable prices. Over the past year a group of us from work have eaten just about everything on the menu here. The most commonly purchased items are the bean and cheese burrito (sometimes with soy), halibut burrito, and chicken quesadilla. They're all wonderful options from a generally good menu. All burritos come in two sizes: large and small. For 99.9% of people the small is plenty large. The large is almost certainly bigger than your stomach and, even if you do eat it all, you're probably going to feel too full for the rest of the day/evening. When in doubt, choose small. There are, however, a few words of advice/warning that you should know: 1. This place can get busy during the lunch rush. But you can place your order ahead of time either online or by phone. Do so and you can save yourself a bunch of time; 2. The burritos can be spicy. They add both jalapeños and a nice habanero sauce. If you don't do hot, just ask for them to not include these particular items; 3. The vegan burritos tend to be more saucy than the non-vegan ones. So, if you eat vegan, still get food from here but be sure to get some extra napkins. Finally, I would warn you away from just one menu item: the pulled pork. Sadly the pulled pork at Burrito Bandidos is stringy and not nearly moist enough. Do yourself (and your teeth!) a favour and get just about anything else on the menu. Or at least get some toothpicks at the nearby Shoppers or Metro; you'll need them to get the meat out of your teeth post-burrito. read more

I know I am tough on burrito places in Toronto. I don't think I can give any burrito place a five star review but I was pretty satisfied with my veggie burrito tonight. As a vegetarian, I get really sick of being served peppers, onions, and more peppers and onions. I don't even like peppers. So it is a big treat to be able to be served soya meat in a whole wheat tortilla with all the burrito essentials. Big, big ups. The toppings are OK, nothing amazing. They have shredded cheese, average lettuce (which I wasn't crazy about), guacamole (which I was totally into), and brown rice, sauces, and chilies. This isn't my first time here but with Big Fat Burrito moving into Lee's Palace on Bloor, I am not sure if it is going to be my last or not. Living between two Big Fat Burritos and Burrito Banditos makes the decision challenging. What I do enjoy is their selection of ridiculous articles on the wall. The place is cramped so it is hard to squeeze in and read them, but it adds some charm and quirkiness to the atmosphere, which is roughly all the space can handle - this place is tiny! It's probably best to get your burrito to go. read more

Sooo i went back here and things seem to be in order now. Finally, the same Burrito Boys taste, brought to the Annex. Something was up before but these guys seem to have figured out and corrected whatever it was that was sooo terribly wrong. If you havent already been to Burrito Boyz or Burrito Bandidos, go check em out! read more

Oh Burrito Bandidos.. how do I love thee?? I crave these burrito's on a weekly basis infact! Chicken, Beef, Tofu, Bean, Halibut, Shrimp, I've had them all! And all are done absolutely brilliantly. What I think is really the success of the Bandidos is the extras. There are so many toppings and add-ons to chose from that it's actually really tough not to enjoy your rolled goodness.. you chose the taste! If you do decide to "get it all" be warned.. you are in for a mess-fest. The guac, rice etc will really weigh down your burrito, and make it a little more difficult to eat. As for the hot sauce, I usually ask for it "dotted" as let me tell you, it is FREAKIN" HOT!!!! You need to go.. MMMmmhHHhhhmm! read more

My main recommendation with Bandidos is do takeout. The seating at the restaurant isn't particularly attractive and their food is perfectly good wrapped up to go. I tried their bean & cheese burrito bowl and my friends got bean & cheese burritos. We enjoyed them but all agreed that there was just too much cheese. The burritos fit the spot but weren't exactly memorable. I'll probably be back for a late-dinner the next time I'm in Toronto but mainly because it's cheap and open till 2am ! P.S. they have the most hilarious onion articles posted on a bullitein board to keep you entertained as you wait! read more

Got a chicken/steak burrito with everything except hot sauce and jalapenos on it. I should have just skipped lunch today because,boy was this ever a huge mistake. Completely mediocre bordering on inedibly bad burrito, seriously one of the most disgusting burritos I have ever eaten. I have no idea why my colleagues rave about this place. I wound up throwing half of it away after chocking down the first half out of ravenous hunger. To their credit, the service was friendly and efficient, making it an integral lunch place for those who work in the Annex. Especially those like myself who want a change of pace from the eleven thousand sushi restos in the area. I however won't be back anytime soon. read more

OMG . . . . . NASTY!!!! Did lil shoppy-shoppy @ Metro with 2 handbag full of groceries. So twisted, I was sooooooo starving, stomach streeched, didn't have the strength to schlep all the way back home! Desperately needed to shovel down some food in a really bad way! Burrito Bandidos across the street looked like an oasis in a hot dry desert . . . . so I thought Roll'd up into their shop, I inquired about the steak and chicken. Girl behind the counter starts to hussle me into getting the much more expensive fish/shrimp burrito. Then she has the lady-balls to hard sell me into super-sizing the burrito! 5 minutes - $15 later . . tear open the foil. Swear to god, the burrito looked like . . . . . . dirty maxi-pad - dirty baby diaper. So gross, it was straight-up nasty!!!! It was a mushy f*ckin mess! All of us looking for a REAL burrito, we gotta stick with the small mom & pop, family Mexican shops . . . . .

Decided to stop by Burrito Banditos on my way home from my day of discovering Kensington and Chinatown. For the longest time, I've passed by BB but the Bloor sushi joints always got the better of me. I had the small shrimp and steak burrito on whole wheat with all the fixin's and hot sauce (except jalopeno). The torilla was a bit burnt but the rest of the flavour was A-Ok. Even with the small, it was still huge and filling. Ordering was fast and with smiles, had to wait 10 minutes for my order as it was made to order, which is okay. The space is small, a few bar stools inside and a picnic table outside, so most orders (including mine) were for take away. It's a good option if you're on thr Bloor strip and don't feel like eating sushi. read more

Burrito Bandidos - a close up of a burrito in a styrofoam container - Tex-Mex Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

used to love this place, the staff were so friendly, and the food was pretty good. But all of my previous visits were in the day, i went in tonight, the music was way too loud, i had to ask the cashier to repeat himself. Turned out he was asking if I called in my order, or am i just ordering. I said I didn't call, he pointed at some girl who was refilling the making station and said, then you need to order with her. So instead of taking my order, and the money I had in my hand, the guy at the cash sent me to the girl who was too busy to take any orders. There were a few guys ahead of m who were also waiting to order. I didn't feel like waiting for everything to be refilled, then for the guys in front of me to order, nor yelling my order over the pumping music, so I left. Big Fat Burrito is just down the street anyway. read more

I have really mixed feelings about this Burritos Bandidos. I've have some ok experiences here but mostly terrible ones. The food is relatively decent but expensive given the unreliable quality. Pretty much every time I've gotten a quesadilla here they have botched it. It always falls apart for lack of cheese and ends up turning into an awkward, barely edible pizza. When this first happened, the owner was extremely kind to us and even provided us with a free meal. When my three friends and I got bad quesadillas again a few weeks later, effectively wasting $40, I decided never to go back here again. read more

I needed a quick post-work-pre-lecture-meal. Although I had already put a certain green pizza chain in my mind, I left Spadina station at the "wrong" exit, was briefly disoriented, panicked, and went to the restaurant which I had in my HEART. Didn't regret it. Restaurant size: One does not simply come to Burrito Bandidos with the intent of sitting and eating. Portion size: Not feeling particularly gluttonous that late afternoon/early evening, I opted for a regular steak and chicken. Still a good size, but I didn't realize how hungry I actually was until I was happily munching on it outside of OISE. Food quality: Did I mention I didn't realize how hungry I was? Maybe it was the hunger, maybe it was the deprivation from burritos, but it was pretty good. Granted, I don't think I've had a burrito blow my mind before...but it was ultra satisfying. My instructor may have walked past me with judgement, but I'm the one with the burrito... Service: It took around 10 minutes from order placement to "Steak and chicken!" which is...kind of normal. Go read some printed Onion articles and have a laugh while you wait. Final thoughts: I'll grab a large burrito next time. Sorry (not sorry) to the rest of the class... read more
