Plenty of street parking. Pleasant front of house staff. Unique and eclectic interior - really sticks to the theme which I enjoyed. The service was quick. I got the Imperial Burrito and it was good, but nothing flashy. Fills you up for a decent price. read more

Burrito Union - Smash burger!! - Mexican Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

Best burritos in Duluth. Drove by this place for a long time as it might not scream, "come get the best burrito in town" but lo and behold, that is exactly what they have. It's got more of a neighborhood bar vibe, especially those hanging out around the bar, with a crew that looks like they have logged many hours sitting at bars. It also has a "if I could only get a job at Starbucks that would be great" vibe but once again, the food is really good. Not too sure whey they are so into communism as it is all over every wall and a major staple of what they seem to be about, but for the third time, the food is very good. We use to go to Little Angies, but haven't been back since we discovered Burrito Union bc it smokes Angies, whether little or big. Lastly there is a blond lady that often takes orders that is very nice and friendly. read more

Steak Salad needs some croutons, crisps or some chips for some crunch. I wish the menu listed how many ounces of steak this came with, as the portion was too small and I would have paid to add more. Please consider getting a small fan for the patio to keep bees away. read more

Service was great! Ambiance is chill. Food was okay. They have quite a few options and can do vegan options on many items as well. My friend liked her burger but the burritos and bowl were just okay. read more

The food is so yummy! I appreciate how much comes in the vegan socialist. It also comes with different spice level of salsa. The service is friendly and lots of seating indoors. The atmosphere is light, pretty informal. read more

Burrito Union - Vegan Socialist--- - Mexican Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

We love this place! They have the Cherry Batch, in the fall, and is not as crowed as Fitger's. It is a larger area and more spread out. We love the deck, on nice days, but the bees were annoying; we kept napkins over our drinks. Server was funny and very attentive, but not over so. The food is always good and we always start with the chips and salsa. read more

We ordered takeout and it was a good vibe in there and the employees were very nice but we did have to wait nearly 10 extra minutes after the 30 minute wait time and it was just a little disappointing. I ordered the chicken burrito and asked for no beans with additional add ins and I got beans and none of my extra add ins. The burritos flavor was not good and was extremely bland and un tasty. It's awfully a expensive to have subpar food. Hope it improves. read more

Always stop here when coming to Duluth, hits the spot every time! Sam the bartende/server/host/food runner does it all and is great! has everything for everyone vegan/vegetarian, perfect for picking up a burrito and eating it on the lake! read more

Mia was excellent- she recommended the smash burgers. We ordered 2 different burgers and shared. Amazing and delicious! We had great service and a delicious meal. Burgers are a great addition to the BU menu. read more

The Union has been a staple of Duluth for a long time, it no longer has the chipotle style build your burrito window but some things remain. It's essentially a significantly better chipotle option, don't come to a college adjacent burrito joint looking for a mind blowing Chile Relleno. This is Northern MN... it's a classic bar set up with food, and an expansive menu. There are tv's for your game, and a relaxed Fitger's vibe. Not entirely sure when they took over but it's retained some of the original integrity. Check the menu for the specials and happy hours, there are some crazy cheap food options. If you can, bar seating is very fast and friendly. read more

Good when it's right, but they will just send out the complete wrong order. If you don't have the stuff to make the food you sell, then stop offering it. Don't bother. Horrible business. read more

hunter liked his burrito but they gave his dad a meatless burrito my tacos were decent but theres not much on them

Honestly, I haven't seen only ever had the Thanksgiving burrito. 3 years in a row. I love up by the boundary waters and make sure to get a Thanksgiving burrito once a year. Delicious and inventive. The spicy cranberries are delicious. read more

Visited for the first time and we were impressed! I had their burrito of the month (Philly cheesesteak). Great flavor and good portion size. It came with chips and salsa. We got the corn dip appetizer and loved that too! They had tvs on with the state hockey game on, and fun music playing. Our server had 3 tables and seemed distracted to us. She gave us the wrong salsa and handed our food to the wrong person. That aside, we really enjoyed our time! Wish we could be there for the bingo nights. Looked like a fun bar scene too! read more

Very trendy place. Great relaxed atmosphere. Good sized menu which I for got to get a picture of. Full bar as well. The appetizer was great, vegan tacos yummy and my youngest said the beans got 5 but the rice was only a 2. Everything had a little kick to it so be aware if you are a non spicy fan. I would say the burritos are the way to go as my other two family members ordered them but I wasn't able to get a photo. read more

Definitely expect American Mexican food. I didn't care for my burrito, the meat didn't have much flavor at all. The sauce choices help but the meat needs to be cooked with more seasoning. Also, it operates under fitgers brewery's drink offerings so if you want a modelo, or Pacifico you won't find it here. A shot if patron was 10 dollars which for the area is a bit high. The atmosphere is clean and a cool vibe but the food misses the mark for me. read more

While other places had a 1 hour plus wait, we had no problem finding a spot on Sunday morning around 10:20am. Order the burrito which was excellent. Service was very VERY good. read more

Undifferentiated meal. Standard bar atmosphere. Edible burrito but not memorable. Decent tap list. Kid friendly. Service was extremely slow but they acknowledged that upfront. Not a great meal but not bad if in area. read more

The host was horrible the second I walked in. She waived her hand at me as if in disgust that I came in ready to spend $20 on their burritos. I visibly saw her roll her eyes at the coworkers as well so it was incredibly uncomfortable and everyone was walking on eggshells around her. She didn't answer any of my questions and refused to look at a photo of the burrito I was asking about. This was all in just 5 minutes. It was messy and I had a terrible experience. I asked for a refund and left. (It was a takeout order) just super disappointed I barely even got a word out. read more

Food was okay, not great. Some of us got food poisoning. Service was fast but take out order was missing items. read more

After two visits have to say-Inconsistent at best. Food is sooo good. Soft corn tortillas are the best! I had beachcomber tacos and the 1.5 ox of fish didn't balance with the 1lb of chucks cabbage. Beef is alway cooked well and salas are ok. Service is terrible and the surg charge isn't warranted anywhere, anywho, anyplace. read more

On my 3rd visit to Burrito Union I decided it was time to finally give this place a 5 star review. I have no idea why people are giving this place bad reviews. Perhaps they were expecting either a family restaurant or fine dining? This place is neither. It is a chill Mexican restaurant filled with young people, super friendly staff and efficient bartenders. The burritos are delicious! The food has been consistently wonderful! Our bartender on our last visit, Chad, was the BEST. Super attentive, funny, and accommodating. He made a killer Cadillac Margarita. Honestly, if you are looking for great Mexican food, wonderful margaritas in a fun atmosphere, leave Canal Park and come here! read more

Such an amazing restaurant! We went tonight and had Dani has our waitress. She was attentive and a fantastic human! Thank you

Delicious!! We are from California and loved the taste here! Generous portion burritos too.

Yikes. I regret coming here. Seems like a gnarly college bar with sticky old floors, uncomfortable seating, and a smelly bathroom. The food was so blah too...felt like minute rice and canned stuff, also I had the most baby-sized shrimps ever. The totchos were just alright too...Saw a fly land on the totchos and the waiter took a minute to shoo it off which kind of ruined my appetite a bit...I was starving though so I just buried that sight in the back of my mind. Overall, avoid if possible! read more

My husband and I had lunch at the Burrito Union on Monday Dec 4 th, 2023. I ordered the seasoned beef tacos and my husband ordered the port capitalist Burrito. We have dined at the Burrito Union multiple times and loved it. Today it was a different story. We arrived a noon and placed our orders. Only 3 other tables were occupied. I have to say, our orders came out fast, maybe too fast. One bite into my tacos and I knew it was not prepared correctly. First it was cold, refrigerator cold.Everything including the seasoned meat. The meat tasted like the fat (lard) was not even melted. My tongue and roof of my mouth was coated with it. I could not taste the seasoning, The plate was also cold. I have to say it was the worst taco I have ever had. My Husbands burrito was also refrigerator cold: the tortilla, the stuffing as well as the plate it was served on. We returned it to the server who replaced both of our plates. The second time was a shade better, luke warm, seasoned meat still congealed fat. Burrito a bit warmer. I asked for my tacos to be reheated, the server then replied that the tacos will be cold because of the lettuce and tomato placed on it. ( not the reason, i have had plenty of tacos in my 60 plus years and none of them had congealed fat. He did take my plate and reheated my tacos. Now, the seasoned beef had a bit of flavor and liquid to it. I requested to have the service charge taken off due to the inadequate cooks. It was not even safe to serve this meal. I was told that it was impossible to remove the service charge. I will never eat at the burrito union again, from now on, I will take my business to the Hungry Hippie Taco. Our server was Sam L, we sat at table 1, Check number 10. read more

Me and my family came in on Sunday afternoon and had a great experience!! Our server Mia was awesome with our kids and my dad. Great options for the kids menu, they both had soft tacos and loved them. I had the Rackner in a bowl and it was great. Delicious margs and overall a great experience! read more

Try it yourself . It's really a good one. Very pleasant atmosphere and outstanding customer service . Food is subprime for the type of business it is . Very nicely designed and laid out for the customers benefits read more

Notice all the one star reviews are by folks who don't know "there, their or they're" or are people complaining about it not being "authentic"? The first group most likely enjoys Applebees in Blaine and the second group would complain about Pizza Luce not being authentic Italian food. It's usually busy which means service can be slow sometimes (Zoomers beware, not everything happens immediately!) and the food is decent for what it is (nowhere does this place claim to be "authentic" Mexican food), been here many times and I've never had the "horrible" food some folks here are describing. The staff is always super friendly, even when they are slammed, which is almost every time I've been there...so ask yourself a simple question, is it really as bad as some of these whiners and/or grammatically challenged people say if it's pretty much always busy? read more

Burrito Union is my all time favorite place to eat in Minnesota. I live in Minneapolis and sometimes my friends will bring me Burrito Union down the the cities when I can't make it up. Burrito Union has its challenges but the food, the creativity, the beer and the sauces are what have me hooked. Fitgers Apricot Wheat is my all time favorite beer and Burrito Union it. You can even get it in a boot. As for food, they have my FAVORITE nachos in the world. They aren't layered or stacked, the chips are evenly distributed across the platter with cheese, rice, beans and ding sauce and melted to perfection. (Ding sauce is garlic and curry sauce. Simply amazing) I ALWAYS get the pork on top with onions and lettuce. You then get your choice of salsa and all of them are amazing but my favorite is the tomatillo! Then you must get a side of their chipotle buttermilk ranch. Writing this is making my mouth water. They have burrito bowls, creative monthly new burritos and two tacos and a pint for $6. Anyone can find something they like and if you're feeling adventurous, try out my favorite dish, the ding nachos! read more

Horrible, horrible service. Food even worse. Their pastor tacos are nothing close to pastor. Its just pulled pork with pineapples read more

Honestly, I felt really bad while being here. Everyone was visibly stressed out. Not the server's fault that our food took over an hour to make it to our table in an almost empty restaurant. We didn't complain, but he was apologetic anyway. Hopefully a competent manager/owner can come into this place and make it a good place to be/work at again. I don't care about it not being authentic, cause if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, why would you come here..? The food used to actually match what was listed on the menu, now half of the ingredients are missing every time. A real bummer. Feel bad for the employees. read more

Wife and I went here a few nights back. Food is okay but will not be returning due to I saw a server tell a older man to leave due to he had a Donald Trump shirt on. The older gentleman was called awful things. We got up and left after that. You should never treat someone like what we saw. Server cleared the older gentleman table while he was sitting there. Young people listen up that is not how you treat a human being. I actually hope the older man sues this place. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch as we were passing through on our way home from Lutsen. I had the Kingston Fatty burrito. It took over 30 minutes to get my order and the rice was over cooked and crunchy. The concept of the burrito was good but the flavor was underwhelming. Overall not a very satisfying experience. read more

I can't believe how bad this place is. That anyone likes it is mind boggling to me. I'm usually a "keep your negative opinions to yourself'" type dude. But something has to be done about the remarkably shitty food here. Maybe by some miracle someone in a management position will read all the bad reviews and switch up the program. Not. Fucking. Likely. Avoid this place at all costs read more

Ordered a Buffalo chicken burrito, said it contained chicken lettuce and guac. It never mentioned any other ingredients so pretty safe to assume that's all that comes on it. Well I was surprised when it had beans on it, cause it never said anywhere it had beans. So I asked them if I could get it w/o beans. They said they couldn't and I'd have to pay full price for another lol. All they have to do is say it contains rice and beans and you don't. Then say you can't remake food when people have stuff in there they didn't know about. Y'all management is an absolute joke read more

Good burritos but kinda dinky for what you pay. I've only ever got takeout here, so this review is about that experience. The online ordering is hilariously slow. I ordered a single burrito and it took 40 minutes. Thinking that one must have just been during a rush we ordered two burritos again a week later in the mid-afternoon, and was given an estimate over an hour. In a busy mexican place two burritos would be done in 10 minutes. So incredulous that this order would take over an hour at a slow time of day, I called and asked and the staff assured me that yes, it takes that long. read more

Cute place in Duluth. A definite try. Coming from Milwaukee, I was excited to find a place with Bloody Mary's so we were off for Sunday Funday! The Bloody is OK, not what I'm used to but not terrible. The burritos however, that is what you are going there for! I tried the Empire steak burrito and my companion had the buffalo chicken burrito. Both were really good. The salsa is very good! We tried the pico and the garden. I will definitely be back. Great atmosphere for a game too! read more
