Passed by this burrito joint while visiting the finger lakes, and we stopped in for lunch. It was a great choice. The place has a cool vibe; exposed brick and wide plank floors, chalked up menu. We were happily greeted by the staff, and they quickly put our orders together. We got one burrito and two bowls. The staff talked us through the order, putting each one together with the several choices of fixins. It's like that burrito chain (rhymes with Bipotlay), but the staff are cool and happy, and the food looks super fresh. Three meals came to about $35 total, so affordable. Bowls were stacked, and the burrito was big, about the size of a prairie dog. Ish. Taste was great. A little more kick or spice in some of the food would have made it all perfect. (I got mild salsa in my burrito; should have gone with medium or hot). You can't go wrong with this place. The food is good and affordable, the vibe is chill, and the staff is super friendly and happy! We can't wait to come back! read more

Great place to get a burrito! Service was helpful, menu was easy and food was delicious. Plenty of seating for just a couple or a group. Think Chipotle but local. read more

Wow! The food here was so fresh and delicious. My first time here, but I will be back. Has a relaxed vibe, staff was friendly.

Excellent experience, good food and ambiance. Prices are reasonable, and they have a kids menu. Just would like if they had a soda fountain. read more

Really good pork and the garlic sauce was delicious. The flour wrap was tender and delicious, not thick or overwhelming. I also appreciate the simple menu. Great music and vibe in the interior with a nice view of the street. I'm a fan . read more

Updating because their hours have been far more consistent recently. We typically order on DoorDash, the food is always ready on time and it's usually delicious. read more

Typically enjoy our meals from Charr and I haven't been since Covid closed the area until yesterday but from March to now something has happened because the quality of food and portions have exponentially dropped. I got a burrito bowl with sparse amounts of everything but what was really the nail in the coffin was the beef tacos. Not only was there a HUGE piece of fat included in a taco with beef attached which was quite disgusting to look at and horrifying had it been bitten into but to top it off the grease from the beef created a large bowl at the bottom of the container and soaked all the tortillas. Needless to say it wasn't a pleasant dining experience and highly disappointing. I don't see us returning, definitely not any time soon but maybe never again smh. Such a shame after going for so many years. read more

My daughter attends the local college and this is one of her favorite places and I can see why. We visited this establishment during the recent parents weekend at her request. The restaurant is basically a local version of the Chipotle national chain. It is good basic food at a reasonable price...... perfect for college kids. I was not blown away but I did enjoy my tacos and would definitely come back. read more

This spot is chic in its decor and the staff are superb. Super nice and friendly. Quick and easy ordering available as well as door dash delivery. I'm only giving it 4 stars because I felt the food was good for sure just not flavorful enough for me. Great place though:) read more

So I love this place, BUT the past two times it was horrible. First time I chalked it up because people have days and I work in the food industry. But today I walked in, greeted the person at the counter by saying hi how are you? They just looked at me and didn't say a word. So I responded I'm doing good how are you? (Again) no response just straight looked at me as if I had three heads? So I walked out. I am a polite person and for someone not to respond three times I when I'm trying to order food. Sorry never again. Used to love you place, but seriously saying hello to someone after they ask you how your doing 3 times and no response. That's not ok. read more

Underwhelming and overpriced knock-off Moe's. $30 for two burritos and a bottle of water.

Food is consistently great! Love the garlic sauce. Restaurant is always clean, and staff is friendly.

I was working in the area and decided to check this place out for lunch. From what I read, this location just opened, but the business has been around for longer. The inside is super modern and charming - that whole rustic chic vibe! During my visit, everything tasted super fresh, and there were more topping options than Chipotle - such a plus!!!! I got a pork burrito bowl with pinto beans, lettuce, salsa verde, jalapenos, red cabbage, cilantro, and sour cream. It was definitely delicious and very fresh! Both my coworkers had chicken bowls and loved them, as well! I wish places like this would stock horchata - only a few do. So that's a recommendation for the future! Otherwise, this place is worth a stop!!! read more

Char Burrito Bar - Pork burrito bowl - so fresh and tasty! - Mexican Near Me - Geneva, New York

Even though the place was packed with a Tuesday lunch crowd they walked me through the 'build your own' Burrito in minutes. The selection of ingredients was huge, the quality of the ingredients was 1st class, the portions were generous. We ate in and sat at a bar where we could watch the ebb and flow of historic Castle St. It took awhile to eat my Burrito (it must have weighed 2 pounds) but even though the place was busy and I'm hard of hearing we could still understand each other in normal conversation level voice. I was very pleased with the price (under $25 for 2 lunches with drinks). I was also pleased that when it came time to leave I was able to put my packaging in recycle. I think I have a new favorite place for Mexican in Geneva. read more

Grabbed a rice bowl with chicken and several toppings. It was quite delicious. My company also enjoyed their meals. We went on a Thursday and they had people lined up to the door as apparently many others realize this tasty place!! I recommend this establishment and will return. read more

Char is a really fun spot in Seneca with fresh, delicious food. It's the same premise as Chipotle, but local and fresh. My husband and I both ordered salads and appreciated that it was easy to avoid dairy and eggs. I highly recommend the vinaigrette for the salad! There are a handful of slots to sit outside. read more

Having a Chipotle near me for years, I always went there. After trying Char Burrito Bar, Chipotle is crap! CBB's bowls, etc have so much more flavor & quality to them! I usually stop myself from eating it all so I can save some for the next day. read more

Similar to a Moes or Chipotle type restaurant but everything tastes waaayyy better. Our burritos were loaded and so good.

A definite go to place for a straight forward burrito or burrito bowl. Been so many times at this point and it's always good!

Tasty burritos. Nice people. Great southwestern ranch. Would definitely come back. Nice outdoor seating.

Char blows Moss and Chipotle out of the water. Something about the meat and queso at Char are just a cut above the rest of the burrito locales. It is small inside but most customers order to go. The pork burrito is my go to. It's always Smokey and we'll seasoned. I have never had a bad order here. read more

Very disappointed this is the second time I have gone on the website and it says you are open and I reaffirmed with a call the voice mail says your hours of operation which say open until 8pm I drive to your location to find you closed! This is very unprofessional read more

Okay food is good but they decreased the size of their burrito bowl by half and it's still the same price. Also their staff is also occasionally a little rude. read more

We were looking for a quick stop for lunch on our way up to the Erie Canal. Read some quick reviews and decided to give Char a try. Restaurant is quiet, quaint, and very clean. And the food - delicious! I ordered the vege bowl and my husband got three beef tacos. We also got an order of chips and guacamole. All the food was wonderfully cooked, seasoned - all very fresh. Great experience! read more

Food was amazing! Similar to Chipotle, but better. Will be returning when we are back in town!

An assembly-line style burrito/taco joint. Food is consistently good! There is enough seating to enjoy your meal, but we usually take ours to go. Reasonably priced! My favorite lunch spot. read more

Excellent vegan options. Burrito bowls are sooo good! There is some cross mixing of ingredients as the employees are scooping, just ask them to remove the cheese or whenever there may be. Note: corn salsa is not vegan. read more

Awesome lunch today. Great place. Always a quality meal and a reasonable price. Can't wait to stop again.

While walking around Geneva, we passed Char Burrito Bar so we stopped in. The atmosphere was pleasant and so were the employees. They asked if it was our first time there, we said yes. They explained how the whole thing worked. When we sat to eat our food, it was delicious! I love Moe's because they have fresh ingredients. This place is about the same, but far better. You pick if you want tacos, a bowl, a burrito, etc. From there what meat and the ingredients. The menu states if there are any extra charges such as guacamole, which even Moe's charges extra for. I would suggest it to anyone, I plan on going back. read more

This place kind of reminds me of Chipotle with its menu options. The difference is the 'local vibe' it offers. They use local, pasture raised meats and everything onsite tasted fresh. I got a chicken bowl with guacamole. Everything tasted great and we were impressed with the service. The only downside would be the street parking, that being said, I still think it is worth it. read more

Love taco salads and tacos always fresh made prep clean easy in and out made in front of you

I really enjoy this place! I have a very low tolerance for spicy foods and have no problem eating things here! Everything is always great and you get a lot of food for pretty cheap. I just wish you did not have to buy a drink with your meal in order to use the punch cards there. Otherwise I would go more often and give it five stars. read more

I have been here almost ten times. I love the food, especially the sauces you can put on to finish your order. There is something for everyone here at an affordable price and served with a smile. The place is clean and has nice ambiance. The location is really convenient. read more
