Yet another update with a helpful tip! If you're hungry for a burrito but not hungry like the wolf, don't be shy - ask for a diet burrito. The only difference is the size! For a very affordable €4.15 you get an 8" (a.k.a. normal-person-sized) tortilla which it's actually possible to finish without rolling yourself out the door. They still put in everything you ask for, just in smaller amounts. Very, very smart idea for anyone who doesn't want leftovers and doesn't feel like exploding their stomach, not today, thanks. I had mine with chicken and salsa #4. Chicken tasted very nice, marinated and grilled, and the salsa left my tastebuds glowing for about 10 minutes afterward. Just perfect. Check in on your mobile before you place your order, they have a 10% off check-in deal! read more

Another excellent burrito bar in Dublin. The atmosphere is grand. They are friendly, charming, and ask how your day was. If you eat in, they will come by and make sure everything is to your satisfaction. In the off-chance it is not, they seem willing to rectify it. The ambience music is cool. While the seating is compact, it is comfortable enough - and it doesn't take that long to stuff the oversized purchase into your gab. Each time I come here, I order the same thing. A steak burrito, black beans, lots of cheese and lots of the hottest sauce. They often throw in a few peppers for me, just to be kind. They definitely are not mean when it comes to adding extras. When I say extra cheese, they do comply. Also, they add more than one scoop of meat. Usually a scoop and a third. The only complaint is they don't accept laser/visa. I dislike carrying any amount of currency in Dublin - so this is a minor inconvenience. read more

Burritos & Blues - Mexican Near Me - Dublin, D

I had been told to come here for quite a while, so I finally broke down and did so. It was good and not too far from campus, so that's nice. Also of note are the marination of their meat and rice. They also had re-fried beans which was a authentic touch, so worth the four stars. Bajoom is still my favorite, as they're are less expensive, but this place is good. I asked for their hottest sauce and it was just a tickle, so take note of that. read more

Thanks to Francesca A. for her review! She mentioned the spicy burrito "obliterating the customers' sense of taste" and I just knew it was the place for me. See, I like my food spicy. Not just a little zingy but very very hot. Like lips burning, eyes watering, nose running, screaming hot. It must be a lifetime of eating Mexican food slathered in hot sauce but I need it to be extremely hot or I cant taste it. Commence arrival at Burrito and Blues. I order my veggie burrito extra extra extra hot. Same dorky chuckle but he pours on Level 5 (not on the menu!) hot sauce and two chopped up habanero peppers. I had to blow my nose twice before finishing my burrito. My mouth was on fire. Heaven! Also worthy of note: although similar to Boojum, this place is not an exact replica of Chipotle (they could actually sue if they ever saw the place). read more

Burritos & Blues - my burrito is labeled "spicy" and it's the truth! - Mexican Near Me - Dublin, D

Just ate my very first burrito in life... And definitely am not regretting the experience... Freshly made, and simply devoured it... My goodness, it was excellent! And the next visit I can use the '10% off any Burrito' deal, nice offer! read more

Burritos & Blues - The anatomy of the burrito... - Mexican Near Me - Dublin, D

Fresh, filling and full flavored, everything is entirely delicious at burritos and blues. I can't get enough of this place. The portions are fairly generous and the prices are reasonable. Favorite menu item: sweet potato fries! And their veg burrito is delicious! read more

Burritos & Blues, Blues & Burritos. A place I've ventured many, many times. It does a lot right, the decor is fine, the prices are great and they're very fast at getting you a burrito. Dublin has met its saturation point for burrito places and so because of that we must look at Burritos & Blues with a more critical eye. Is it close to the best burrito/taco you'll get in Dublin? I don't think so. Little Ass & Boojum are but two others I can think off the top of my head that trounce this place. You won't go wrong ordering Burritos & Blues, but you won't be wowed either, it's your slightly above Dublin-standard Burrito joint and that's just fine. In short: Meets the Dublin standard and surpasses it slightly, the price will always be right and you won't be disappointed, but cast your eye slightly further afield and you'll find much better burrito greatness. read more

Burritos & Blues - Veggie Hard Shell Tacos (€6.50) - Mexican Near Me - Dublin, D

The other day i heard this saying "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending..." and while I was thinking about this I was passing by Burritos and Blues, I have been to this place a few months back but was not really happy with the food neither the service but generally I do give second chances. Considering it was an amazing and sunny day I called up my friend and asked her to join me for lunch. My friend ordered the student Silver Bullet Burrito deal, I had a salad bowl, mixed in with Mexican spiced rice, different veggies and all kind of other goodies to be toped up by the medium hot salsa, which gave my taste buds some excitement ;) Additional we shared a bowl of tortilla chips with guacamole to calm down again and enjoy our sunny lunch. I am really glad I convinced myself to go there for a second chance, the food was much better and tastier and I had no reason to complain... Another reason which make me reconsider, was that I wanted to try their food again, because the other day I saw that they are open late on Friday and Saturday night (until 4am) and fresh Mexican food sounds much better than just getting chips on your way home after a long night out! read more

I'm not gonna lie, I was a liiiitle bit drunk when I was in here... Got my starve on in a major way after a gig in Whelan's a few weeks ago. Was feeling the need for a burger but was steered this direction by my friend. Good call!! The staff were really smiley and friendly (this was after 1am, so I'm sure they'd encountered some right drunked weirdos by this time!). I *think* I got a veggie burrito and a drink and it was just the trick to soak up some excess vodka and 7up before bed. I only had the sissy salsa (no. 1) but it was still pretty warm for me! I didn't manage the whole thing in one sitting and the second half was gratefully devoured the next morning after I discovered it in the fridge. Much better alternative to a greasy burger and chips, even through my vodka-haze I could appreciate how fresh and crunchy the ingredients were. Great spot! read more

This is one of my favorite eats in Dublin at the moment. When the original Burrito's & Blues in Ranelagh closed down a few years ago I was so disappointed. It was pretty much the only fast food Mexican restaurant in Dublin at the time and the food was so fresh and flavorsome that I'd favor it over any of the sit down Mexican restaurants around the city (Cactus Jacks, Acapulco - I'm looking at you) A few years later and it's back, and I'm glad to say it hasn't changed too much. And how times have changed, there are now a plethora of fast food Mexican restaurants to choose from - but this one gets my vote. Unlike other Mexican fast food outlets around the city, there are more than just burritos on offer on the menu, but for me it's all about the burrito here. It's the best value for money and it's very filling. My favorite would be the Chicken Burrito with number 3 salsa, just the right level of spiciness for me, and I like spicy. It may be a bit sloppy and messy but the flavors are all in there. If I had any criticisms it would be that you don't get as much meat filling as you used to, and sometimes the food can be a bit inconsistent towards the end of the day. But still, these are minor quibbles and I still rank this place as the best burrito bar in Dublin. Quite simply nom noms! read more

I love the diet burrito here, it's an ideal sized meal when you are on the way to somewhere in a hurry and you need to sate your stomach quickly. nine times out ten I get the diet burrito... my loyalty card is filling up - yay! Camden Street and Wexford Street has some great drinking establishments. It also has a good few eating establishments. But if someone was to ask me to recommend somewhere they can go to fill up quick before drinking, I would recommend Burritos and Blues. The place is fresh in its decor and bright. Very inviting. And the menu is great... you don't need to get a burrito either! You can get the burrito bowl or some chips covered in their fillers... But if you do go for a regular sized burrito here, they are quite big! I can't finish them, but I am a girl ;) I've only ever tried the beef mince filler, I really need to try the other meat fillers, but I can never tear myself way from the beef mince - nom nom. I also like the four levels of salsa they have, I go for number three.... I must venture and try the number four sometime. On the last visit I was a little pee-d off that I could not avail of the Yelp check in offer of 10% off ANY burrito. But I was told it didn't apply to the diet burrito... which doesn't fall into the ANY category. I know I wasn't going to save much money, but it did ruin my check in offer buzz, that I had never used before. It left me looking a bit sheepish (",) read more

Now that Little Ass Burrito has moved to Dawson Street, this is where I have to head for my burrito fix. Luckily for me, Burritos & Blues is delicious. It's a bit more DIY than its donkey-fancying competitor, and there's a little more variety on the menu too. It also has the advantage of a having more room and a decent seating area. I ordered a pork burrito, stuffed to the gills (trotters?) with salsa, rice and beans. I was assured that everything is super-fresh and the pork is marinated and carved with care. This made absolutely no difference to me, since I ended up ingesting it faster than you can say "...but you have to pay for it first!" read more

Food was meh, price was average, but staff were rude. The girl working on Saturday night could not have been less pleasant. Not a single positive thing to say about her. Brusque, literally rolling her eyes while I tried to put in my order and monosyllabic questions peppered with grunts and sighs. I got a burrito box, which was ok, there may as well have been no salsa as it was so flavourless but the chicken was nice enough, and that unfortunately is about the best thing I can say for the place. read more

I've been watching this place, eagerly awaiting my burrito for weeks now. Its about a 10 minute walk from my house, so easily plotted into my strolls into town. Last Saturday, I made it in. My deadly flatmate and friend treated me to a chimichanga, with steak. The decor is fresh and simple and the instructions as to creating your mexican food wonder are also childproof, which was a delight for me with my mild *ahem hangover. The play blues music of course, which is just deadly. It doesn't take long and while you wait you can admire the staff's t-shirts, which have hilarious little jokes on them that made me chuckle. My favourite had a print of a hash leaf and this caption: 'normally when rolling something this good, it's illegal' Oh Burritos n' Blues. I will say, that they were a little stingy on the meat in my changa, which I was quick to point out to the server-lady. I'm not a veggie and I don't like being shafted on the contents. She reluctantly gave me three more tiny pieces. But you know, perhaps it was my giant larger than stomach eyes, because admittedly, I didn't finish it all. What's great about it, is its freshness, but the flavours didn't exactly blow me away. I will definitely go back though for a round 2 and I recommend stopping in. ON a side note, something that is starting to really bug me - excess packaging. I don't need paper within paper, or a box within a box. The most interesting thing to me would be an intelligent use of the LEAST amount of packaging necessary. read more

My first impression of this place back in 2010 wasn't great but it had a lot to live up to as I had been a massive fan of the original Burritos and Blues in Ranelagh. For years after it closed there had been a large burrito (bean and cheese, mmm) shaped hole in my heart and in my belly and so when finally Burritos and Blues reopened it's doors on Wicklow Street I was ecstatic, and then it was merely ok. However, it has improved greatly since those first few months. There are too many improvements to mention but everything I bemoaned in my first review have been resolved. There are so many delicious burrito places in Dublin now but this has to be one of my favourites for a few reasons. They actually play blues music! This is not just a name! They use proper refried beans, the mushy super savoury kind, yum. Their location is also spot on, right beside some of my favourite pubs in Dublin and they're open late! A fantastic place for drunken or pre-drunken guzzling. As well as any other burrito time of day... read more

After trying other Burritto bars like Pablo Picante and Little Ass Burritto bars i was excited to try this place as I had heard a lot about it. Beef was in chunks as opposed to braised, in the other places. Too much salad went on so one half was cold and the other half was hot. Very disappointed indeed. Back to the drawing board methinks lads. read more

Checked out this new place today to see whether it is a valid contender for my current favourite burrito dealer Pablo Picante. And it is ... not. Don't get me wrong, the food is good, the name is interesting and it's nice not to be hit by the standard blaring elevator music you encounter in every second place (that would be the "Blues" bit). And If this had been my first burrito experience I probably would have been blown away. Alas, Pablo P was always at the back of my mind. And the truth is that my Mexican friend serves me bigger burritos that are tastier and - crucially - really hot when I want them to be. The "blow your head off" at Burritos and Blues was pretty mild, and that's mildly put (maybe they mixed up the bottles?). Plus: You can sit inside and the atmosphere is light, modern and stylish. Good music, good food. Also offer filled taco shells, and quesadillas. Minus: Comparably small burritos, hot sauce is not quite hot read more

Since my evening classes are just around the corner in Kevin Street I've been hitting this place frequently on "school nights". If you flash a student card you get cheaper food so why not? I always, always make the mistake of getting the hottest salsa. As I turn every shade of red there is, sweat profusely and suck in strangled panic breaths my friends will ask "Are you OK there Shane? Maybe you got it too hot?" I look back at them with misty bloodshot eyes, "No? Why do you ask?" I am my own worst enemy when it comes to anything with chilli in it. read more

I'm from California so I know good Mexican food, be it a taqueria or a more formal establishment. Since I miss having loads of restaurants as options, I will be kinder here... :) I think it's a good enough spot for a Mexican fix; but, aside from the marinated chicken, the eats could use a bit of spicing up! I have ordered the burrito in a bowl twice and that's a healthier option, so 'thumbs up' for making that available! There are at least a couple other better 'quick Mexican eat' options out there; but, that doesn't mean I won't return to B&B... read more

Great Mexican food. There are a lot of dishes with a lot of cominations. The price is very low: we've ordered 2 tacos, but we didn't know that every taco= 3 taco shells so the price of 6 tacos (2 dishes) with two bottles of water is 12€! read more

I love burritos and I'm quite fussy about them as well. So I am please to say that Burrito's and Blues is a great place to eat. I've been in a few times and found that the smaller ones are actually tastier than the massive ones. That might just be me but the combination is easier to eat and you get a better amount of wrap. The salsa sauces are great, I normally have 3 which is one off the hot one and its pretty darn good. I have also tried the Salsa Fries which I thought were amazing. Its basically a burrito filling on a load of tasty fries. Expensive but you get a lot with it as well! Worth a try I say. The cafe itself is pretty cool and some cool blues music going on in the background, they make the burrito's pretty fast as well! If you can get the pork filling give that a try its delicious, but the beef is great as well. read more

My favourite burrito in Dublin. However as the place is called Burrito and BLUES i expect the music playing in the venue to be blues music (hence the name) There used to be blues music playing which is why i enjoyed going here but now staff seem to just put on crappy pop music which is so annoying. Blues music should be enforced otherwise you may aswell just call the place Burrito's and drop the blues. read more

Loved the burrito here. I had to look at the receipt to find out what I had....yes one of those nights :-) As it turns out I had a bean burrito and the hot salsa and all I can remember is the heat coming off the salsa....mwahahaha Will defenitely come back for more ;-)) read more

This spot is brilliant. Went in there the other night to tactically set myself up for an eve of drinking and it did wonders. Went with the Carnitas (pork) buritto and loved it. A sweet taste that was counteracted by the heat from the the hot salsa (you can go up to level 5 if you have the cahonaes). The portions are also a great size! priceing is very reasonable too with the added bonus of student discounts if you have your card (wish I was a student again). They also do beers aswell if you want, with a range of mexican ones as well as irish craft brews. I know mexican joints have popped up all over town now but this was one of the first and is well worth hitting up! read more

Greasy burritos. They use a crushed beans paste instead of beans They're alright but I only attend if there's no other option. I'd also argue it's not very tasty. read more

If you read my last review about Mexican in Dublin, you'll know two things: 1: I am super picky B: I am super picky because I am from Cali. This place was the closest I have come to really good ole fashioned Tex-Mex in Europe. It was the perfect mix of spicy and creamy. And the thing was HUGE and under 10 euros. What makes it even better is it just down the street from my favorite coffee house. My housemates may never see me again, read more

Possibly my second favourite place to eat a burrito in Dublin, and the burritos themselves are perhaps my favourite. It's a cool and trendy place and the recent introduction of Cholula hot suace (can't beat it) not only for use, but also for customer sale to take home is a real bonus. These guys have the best customer service I have experienced in Dublin. I once waited for them to open, they were 15 mins late and the burrito was on the house as a result. They also do the hottest sauce of all the burrito bars. Number 4 was always hotter than any of the others but recently they brought out a number 5 which is just stupid and designed for impressing yourself with how manly you are. My advice, go for number 4 if you want hot and flavour. Or... Number 4 with a dash if 5. The one down by IFSC is not as good, mainly due to it being mostly a take away with only a couple of stools to sit in if it's not too busy. The original (of the new incarnation of course) on Wexford street is excellent and while they don't have a great beer selection compared to Boojum, that's sorted by it being a few doors down from Against the grain. Love it! read more

Burritos and Blues is situated in a lovely part of Dublin and offers both inside and outside seating. It's usually pretty busy and explodes at lunch time on weekdays with the amount of students from DIT, DBS and Trinity looking to get their grub on. My experience of Burritos and Blues has usually been ok but my biggest gripes are the prices and burrito quality when compared to competing brands, some of which are a minute's walking distance away! (eg. Little Ass, Pablo Picantes and Mama's Revenge) I'd love to give it a better review but the only thing Burrito's and Blues really has over it's rivals is its seating space. read more

I suppose it might have been possible to give it 2 stars, but I really felt the need to try to offset all the incorrect "amazing" reviews Maybe I just got a bad day when business was slow, but I still had to wait 10 minutes for the guy ahead of me to get his 4 burritos made. When I finally got my burrito, the tortilla seemed stale, the rice crunchy, the beans bland. And while it was nice that the extra spicy sauce was spicy, it tasted lousy. read more

I love this place and have been going here for a long time. There burritos are amazing and very very tasty I normally get the pork with pinto beans and obviously sauce 5 but anyways all there stuff is tasty. Would recommend to everyone and plus there good with prices for students. read more

I found this place by chance when passing by and decided to go there for lunch. I was very impressed! The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the food was great. I got a chicken burrito and it was big and delicious. For the people here complaining about the "bean paste", ahem, those are refried beans and they are a staple of Southwest cuisine in America. You can hardly order a meal in Texas or New Mexico without a side of them on the plate. It is a unique and very authentic part of the menu from the US, but if you don't fancy it then tell them and they will accommodate you! I recommend this place for expats and locals who crave a good, custom-built burrito. Well done, B and B! read more

I promised 5 stars if, when I came back, the quesidilla was improved from the first time I had it and it was! Everything I said was bad was corrected! I've never had guac or sour cream IN the quesidilla, usually on the side so you can dip, but it was really nice. The veg were all really nice and fresh, showing that they care about the food. Also got chips on the side with it which I was not expecting! A bit sad that there was no Wifi, but I guess a lot of places don't (I stopped in a few other places for random things and asked if they had wifi and they all said no). Quick staff! read more

Not bad, went for the burrito bowl with carnitas... Just a little too watery for me and flavours get lost somewhere. The guacamole has a "rustic" texture to it, courtesy of the chunks of onion. Much prefer the vibe in here rather than across the road, just feel the staff are a bit too over friendly and annoyingly hipster over there, while here.... Chilled and friendly just like the music in the background! read more

A lot of people have said to me no burritos and blues is not as good as x or y place they go but, for me, I just keep going back. I love the fact the beans are mashed, I think it blends the flavours better. I had the burrito bowl for the first time the other day and it was top notch. Don't go for it if you are looking for a light option though as for what it lacks in wrap, they make up for with loading up the bowl! My only criticism would be the limited beverage options and the limited seating. I think the place is usually for the students at DIT though, so that makes sense! read more

It is great to see a late night burrito place in Dublin. The few times I've been here have been just before the closing time of 4am and they serve good burritos to help restore the energy levels and keep the night going. On a side note, the security man here is really nice unlike many other places! read more

Probably the best burrito in Dublin, I have tried Burritos and Orange, Pablo Picante and that place in Epicurean food hall, but Burritos and blues tops my list. If you know somewhere better than this place let me know. :) Burritos and Blues fills the 3 Fs: Fast, fresh and filling. Queue can be long at lunch though and somtimes no room to sit down burritos in store. Protip they do an extremely spicy burrito that has to be ordered in advance, This is a prizeless challenge which is about bragging rights as opposed to winning a tshirt. WARNING: the spicy burrito is hellishly hot. Best to bring a few pints of milk if you try this challenge. read more

We live in New Mexico and rarely eat burritos out of town because our standards are so high. But we were hungry. These were fabulous! Big, well spiced, great variety of fillings. Good for both vegetarians (yummy beans) and carnivores. Authentic. read more

I love this place, great food for a pittance. Their diet burrito is plenty to fill up all but the most voracious of appetites, and with their Yelp deal, you can check in and get a discount, making cheap food even cheaper. But cheap doesn't mean they skimp on the quality: the beans are always piping hot and fresh, their selection of meats are all delicious, though I almost always go for the steak. Their veg is crisp, their salsas pack a nice kick and home made guacamole is always always worth the little bit extra. A nice venue in general as well, with loads of posters and flyers for local shows, gigs, fairs, etc. It's a great place to go for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and pick out what your'e doing for the evening. Only downside is that they're a bit small, so if you're going with more than one or two friends, you may need to take it to go. read more

Delighted with my recent visit to the Wexford St. Burritos and Blues...and considering it's Arthur's Day and I'm taking time to review, it was pretty damn good. Have become fussy over my Burritos due to workplace tradition of getting burritos every Friday. Have tried Anne St and IFSC as well but this was definitely my favourite burrito from the chain, largely down to the salsa. We went as a group (4), and had a mix of burrito fillings/salsas. I'm a sucker for the spiciest thing available...and I was very very happy with the newest Magma salsa which the very helpful staff informed me was now available. Even my Thai friend with the seemingly fire-proof taste buds agreed it was nice and hot! Although the last time I got the number 4 salsa and was happy, I'd go for the five again, it was just the right amount of kick for a heat junkie like me. My one minor minor compliant (mostly cos it wasn't my complaint) was that one of our group got the carnitas/pork and it was very very juicy...in a bad way. Made it a bit of a soggy burrito, could have done with an extra squeeze out of the juices before being placed in the tortilla I think. But not enough of a grumble to take a star off...he still finished his first of the group! Thumbs up guys, much better than my first encounter in Ann St!! read more

So I recently visited Dublin, Ireland and for whatever reason woke absolutely craving a burrito. This is where I used yelp to find a burrito place. First place that popped up was Burrito and Blues. Looked pretty appealing so I thought I would check it out. I am happy that I did. My date and I traveled by bus to get there and when we showed up there were already a couple of people in line. This is usually a good sign. The guy who helped us out was extremely helpful and nice. They don't cut you short on ingredients which is a plus. The best part is the free chips and guacamole you get when you make it to the register. They have free wifi which is great. I was able to check in and received my chips and guacamole with no issues. I got a large steak burrito with a bottle sprite with the free chips and guacamole for about 8-9€ not bad for a good burrito place. Recommended if you are hungry and want to chill for a bit. Good name and good business. Internet password: burritoblues read more
