I went here with a coworker who was on the KU football team while he was in college. Burrito King is just a couple blocks from the football weight rooms, so I can imagine a couple players frequent this spot! The drive through was pretty quick at 1:30 pm - we ordered 2 everything burritos, mild and hot sauce, and a couple drinks. The burritos were HUGE! Mine was easily two meals. Kind of regret getting the everything burrito - could have left out the ground beef which wasn't super flavorful. But it was pretty good with the mix of mild and orange/hot salsa. Horchata was decent but had lots of ice for a medium. read more

The breakfast burrito was good but you offer potatoes as one of the choices for protein? Weird since it's not a protein at all. The bean and cheese burrito was completely cold. read more

Burrito King - Cold burrito !!! - Fast Food Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

The tacos were kinda bland. Nice staff. One of the few spots I can hit after a late show in LK. Even with a crazy walkup crowd, the drive thru is pretty quick. read more

good food, terrible service. every time i have been there, the service is horrible. i have never had my order be 100% at borrito king.

Wow this place! If you ever don't want to cook dinner, but still get something delicious and quick - this is the place. Their burritos as well as their rice and beans is ALWAYS delicious! They also have amazing horchata! My fiancé and I are obsessed with Burrito King. Also the people are very friendly, always having welcoming smiles on their face! Overall, it may look a little hole in the wall drive thru but I have to give this one a 5/5! read more

I've gone to BK off and on since they first opened around 1997 iirc. I know ownership has changed at least a couple of times. It's a shadow of its former self at this point. It was originally cheap with generous portions. Now it's expensive with less generous portions. It's literally almost as cheap to buy a 2-liter bottle of pop next door at Cork and Barrell instead of buying a drink at BK. I keep going because they're convenient, but it gets harder to justify with each year. It's Lawrence tradition at this point but you're paying a heavy, heavy history/tradition surcharge for your food. read more

They're online menu prices, and the actual prices at their location were significantly different. The portion size was really good. They do give you a lot of food, but unfortunately, the food was cold and not seasoned very well. customer service could have definitely been better. For six meals they give me three napkins. read more

great food but possibly the worst run organization in Lawrence. Swear every time i'm there they have some issue going on that they aren't even really sorry for in the first place.. like tonight when they allowed me to sit in the line for 20+ minutes just to say they're only accepting cash... it would've been nice to let your customers who have been waiting for awhile to know that a little earlier read more

Excellent food! I got the everything burrito and while I normally don't like beans, they were excellent and not overpowering. Service was a little rude, but I'd assume their business is usually pretty busy so that's understandable. read more

Tacos, tamales, rice, queso, burritos, quesadillas, and walking nachos are all fire! Definitely recommend. read more

Rude customer service food is sloppy small portions with exorbitant prices, every time I've been through the drive they always yell at you to hurry and just never enjoyed the food I've had, as well as prices are wrong and over priced 10$ for chips and queso that's not warm and stale chips, forgot my salsa as well. If you want a good burrito or fast food Mexican panchos all the way! read more

I have never reviewed a restaurant on yelp, but Burrito King is a magical place that deserves all the love and praise I can give. Their breakfast burritos and roasted red salsa will genuinely give you an out of body experience. I can't emphasize enough how incredible my beloved Burrito King is. read more

The service is absolutely terrible. The blond shaggy haired young man that has been working the register has gotten my order wrong every single time. The food is good and pretty affordable so I tend to stop for dinner often. Ever since this young man has started there, my order has been consistently missing and/or not the items I wanted. Burrito king, PLEASE TRAIN HIM or do something. I'm about to find a new spot. read more

Fire food for after a night out! So yummy at 2AM or 2PM. Seriously can't go wrong at this place. I recommend the nachos, which an extra messy and extra delicious. read more

Poor service they don't know how to get an order right every time I go they don't get nothing right

Service is always fast and friendly. This place is good during the day and at 2am. Get the lengua tacos. You won't regret it!

burrito king has gone severely down hill, the last 3 times ive been there they have managed to messed up my order. I ordered 2 chicken tamales and usually when they mess up my order they give me a wrong tamale like pork or beef but tonight they gave me 2 tortillas filled with cheese.... read more

The food itself was very good. I had two tamales and they were wonderful. The only complaint I have is trying to order through that microphone that you can barely hear anything out of. I wasn't sure if they got my order correct or not. And then when I got to the window, she hand me the credit card machine hooked to some kind of arm, and I could barely read it and that made it a little difficult. The service isn't the greatest but the food is pretty good. read more

I don't know why other people haven't rated this 5 stars. If you are drunk, out at night, or just hungry. This is the place to be! Get their horchata! I LOVE BURRITO KING. read more

Best breakfast in town. Feeds 2 people it's so big. Service isn't the nicest, but maybe because they're so rushed.

Terrible customer service, asked for a sauce and was told I couldn't get it because the worker didn't feel like it, besides that the food is good for a late night meal. read more

So I'm weak sauce, gonna just put that on the table now. I got the heavenly queso last week, and it was the best I e had in a long time, and wasn't overly spicy. I also love their rice! read more

Gave me food poisoning! Place was a mess and dirty! Will never go back! Bathrooms were gross also!

I attempted the burrito challenge at Burrito King in Lawrence, Kansas. Contestants have 40 minutes to finish this burrito. If they're successful, the $26 meal is free & a T-shirt is awarded. There are several picnic tables to dine at on site. However, there is no indoor seating. Max, the owner, care to watch me attempt the challenge. I finished in just over 8 minutes. The burrito was absolutely delicious. I loved the diced potatoes in it. read more

Best burrito in town by far. I come here very often and I am never let down. Don't let a long line discourage you from coming, because I promise it is well worth it. And they are open until 2am making it the perfect place to go after a late shift or a night out. And they have some of the best salsa to go with your food. read more

Burrito King - a burrito wrapped in tin foil with ketchup and a drink - Fast Food Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Great little hometown place. Family owned. Good is always good and fresh. You won't be disappointed!

If you are someone who likes Mexican cuisine but doesn't like authentic Mexican then this isn't the place for you! Everything they pass out those 3 windows is nothing less than real. From the shell to the beans to rice to the meat. EVERYTHING is freshly made to order and never frozen. Since I've been to burrito king I've never stepped foot in a different Mexican restaurant in town or anywhere else! I've had the real deal from friends, California, Texas and Latin natives and this is just as good! Not to mention the people who work there are loyal and friendly. I usually see the girl with the turquoise hair or the short one with the lonnngggg pony and always order the spicy steak burrito #5 with Mexican style tacos. Love in every bite and it just doesn't get any better than that. read more

I've been a casual customer of BK for years, but recently branched out from burritos to a torta. I ordered mine with chorizo, and was really satisfied with it! The bread soaks up the juice from the chorizo really well, and there's mashed avocado, sour cream, lettuce, cheese... yum! As per BK standards, the portion was generous and the salsa was fresh and delicious. I'm unsure why this drive thru dive has such a low rating- it's the best quality, down-home kind of Lawrence standard. I'll be back soon, for another torta! read more

Good place to go to get takeout Mexican food. I generally get the everything burrito and it is good. The quality of the food may not be the best but it is tastey read more

Repeated failures on orders We would love the Burrito King - if they could get orders right. 3 out of the last 4 times we have gone the orders were incorrect - by magnitudes. I strongly suspect that it is, in part, due to the speaker/communication system that is certainly unintelligible on the ordering end... this isn't a huge expense to upgrade, yet it's been this way (and worsening) for at least two years. Food is great - when you actually get what you ordered. UPDATE Aug 12,2023 We tried Burrito King again today. We literally have our order face-to-face and we were the ONLY customers there. Yet again the orders were wrong - as in not even close to what was ordered. We're done with them. Asleep at the wheel. read more

I love burrito king. I've been going here a lot ever since I found out about it 4 months ago. The only problem is the stamp card the dude gave me. It had 2 stamps on it. I got up to my 7th today but they didn't honor it because it expired in 2021. I just started going in 2023 and got all those stamps in 4 months. Doesn't seem right. I'll still go but that sucked. read more

I have been three or four times and I can briefly say that this spot is below average American Mexican food. Nothing really stands out compare to Taco Bell. The cashier is very rude and lack communication skills and I find it a little overpriced for the quality of food. Overall, not much value for the $$ read more

If there's a reason why this legendary Lawrence restaurant closes it's because of the young girl running the store. News flash, you cant run a restaurant with your ear buds in! Not only is my food consistently made incorrectly but the kids working here act like they don't want to even take your order! Forget about getting a "order when you're ready", "thank you come again" or "here's your food" these kids essentially just throw the bag in your face and turn around. There use to be 2 older ladies who ran the show here and when they're working this is the best burrito place in town. Please please please try to encourage your young staff members to run this restaurant properly, it's sad watching a family member who doesn't care about their family business run it in to the ground. read more

Great tasting food. The burritos are huge! The service is great-- lots of personality. A bit pricey in comparison to other places but we like it. Fast service. read more

It was cheap and a good quantity, but not the greatest quality. You get what you expect and for a cheap meal, it'll do.

But, often people are rude that work there. I don't understand the sullenness I often have to contend with.

The food's pretty good. The services terrible. You will not get the correct food that you order. You also will be charged individually for salsas and never receive those salsas. It's almost as if they intentionally mess up the orders because they know it's not worth your time to correct it as long as you're not getting your salsas or sides or chips! read more

My boyfriend and I used to love this place; good food at a relatively cheap price. However, the last three-four times I've gone have been extremely underwhelming and disappointing. Each of those times they have forgotten items and messed up each item they included. When I went about a week ago, we ordered 4 mexican style tacos with steak, one soft taco with steak, and an order of bean dip with chips. When we got home, there were 3 mexican style steak tacos, 4 tacos (crunchy shell) and a side of beans. Tonight, we ordered deluxe nachos without sourcream, a pork tamale, and bean dip with chips. Arrived home with deluxe nachos WITH sour cream, bean dip but no chips, and a stone cold, uncooked pork tamale. When I pulled the tamale out of the bag, the foil was literally cold to the touch and the tamale itself was cold and extremely mushy (indicates it wasn't cooked properly). In addition to this, about 50% of the time when I order bean dip and loudly specify DIP, I receive a side of beans instead. And a quarter of the time when I do get the dip, they forget the chips even though I was charged the extra ~$2. I really hope they work things out because I miss the good food here but it had become extremely unreliable and I'm not sure when I'll be back. I used to go at least once a week. I hope you have a better experience than read more

Big azz burritos that are amazing for breakfast or after a night out! You gotta get in line and try one.

Terrible. Worst burrito I've ever had. Do not go here. It's an overpriced soggy mess. No idea why people love it. They're drunk I guess.
