Every once in a while you stumble upon something and you wonder why you hadn't been there before. Such is the chase with Chile Burrito. I mean, it's not like it's hidden or hard to find, I just hadn't been into the unexpectedly large retail area that it's located in until recently. What I didn't expect to find from its rather unassuming store front was AWESOMENESS. The first thing you notice is color. From the mural on the wall to the streamers hanging from the ceiling to the chairs that are all kinds of colors, Chile Burrito is a festival of colors from the second you walk in the door. The menu is laid out on chalk boards above the food area, hand written in various colors of chalk. The menu options are huge and run the gambit of all of your Mexican favorites from tacos to burritos to quesadillas to bowls, each available with a protein (or two) of your choice. Like other fast casual Mexican eateries, as you go down the line you add the ingredients you want to suite your taste. Some come with an upcharge, some don't. Items that come with an upcharge are listed on the menu board above. It isn't hard or confusing at all. While some reviewers state confusion about how/where to order, I have to wonder why. Have they never been to QDoba? Chipotle? Along with posting a photo of the menu, I've also included a close-up of one particular section of the menu. Consider yourself challenged. My choice was a chicken bowl with cilantro-lime rice, add some fajita veggies and sour cream. A side of chips and salsa, of course, because this meal needs to be well-rounded. One nice thing is the salsa bar, with five different salsas of different varieties and heat levels. I tried all five and found my favorite to the three-pepper Tomatilla d'arbol. Nice flavor, a little smoky, and just enough heat to let you know it's there. My food was great. I don't know what kind of seasoning or marinade they used on the chicken but it was amazingly good and very moist, not dry like some other places. The chips were good but a bit thick for my taste (nothing I'd take any points away for), and worked well with the various flavors of salsa. During my roughly 40 minute visit the dining room and trash were tended to a couple times and the salsa station and drink station wiped down to keep them clean. During my monthly visits to Brentwood I'm always on the lookout for great places to eat. This one just go added to my rotation. read more

As a Socal native this Mexican food had a southern twist to it. It was more of a build-your-own-plate kind of place. I ordered nachos and you can choose from 3 types of beans, 4 types of protein, 2 types of rice and plenty of salsas and toppings. Fish tacos have a yogurt dill sauce on top. Food is tasty. Not local Mexico authentic, but the experience was good, and Latin music is playing on the speakers. read more

I've been coming here for years, but tonight was a really disappointing experience. One employee was rude when I asked a simple question about which rice was brown. When I asked for double chicken, he ignored me and moved on to taking my son's order. I asked again and was ignored again until I finally had to ask another employee to help. Afterward he joked about it with a coworker, which made the whole interaction feel disrespectful. I also noticed a fly around the toppings area, which made the experience even more unpleasant. I had my son with me and didn't want to make a scene, so we just ate and left. Unfortunately, after this experience, I don't plan on coming back. I'd appreciate a follow up with a manager to make this right. That guy has been rude before and he's going to cost your company business read more

Do you like chipotle? Have you ever wished they would make the food worse and charge more? If so, do I have a new restaurant for you!!! Additionally, both times I've been here the staff have been very unpleasant and rude. I thought maybe they just don't like my vibe but after reading through the comments it seems to be a theme here. In summery - expensive (bad)chipotle with terrible customer service. read more

I know, I know. How many times can you talk about Chile burrito. WELL, every Friday, but if I did that, I would probably get banned on yelp. Anyways, I've come back today to tell you about the service. I love Chile burrito and I love the people there more. I've grown up there basically - 15 years of Fridays. The food is TO DIE FOR- obviously - but it's the people that make me come back. Just last Friday, they ran out of limes, so my father goes up to ask for more. Usually, they just restock it and we move on, but something happened a week ago. One employee came up to our table, warmly greeted us, made some jokes, and served us limes right then and there. We were all so surprised but so pleased. Plus, every time I go up to order, the same man will ask me to order in Spanish knowing that I'm taking a class for it. He always tells me it's so I can do better and it's crazy the connection you can make with these people and how they brighten your day. Final thing - every Friday that we are there, a lady comes to meet my grandma and talk about her life and make small jokes. My grandma doesn't like going out, but she goes for her because she says it's the highlight of her experience. Just remember, one interaction might not be enough to get the full picture of a person. Take a chance and go more than once - ask questions, make small talk, and be kind. I promise I'm not making this up because my family has had horrible experiences at restaurants the first time, but the next blows us away with perfection. That being said, try again. read more

Great food, better than that chain restaurant. A wide variety of options and sauces. Will be back

Excellent food and service! You will definitely appreciate the quality and flavor of their dishes. read more

Stopped in Chile Burrito after a day of shopping in Nashville. It's in the same lot as TJ Maxx/Home Goods and Nordstrom Rack. Similar to Chipotle in that you order what you want and customize it down the line. Service was fast but we had no line. Cost ~$40 for three people. A little pricey but maybe because we had a few add ons like guac. I got the smoked beef brisket 10" burrito. Good size, can't imagine getting a larger one (they offer the Titan - a 3 foot long burrito for those up for the challenge!!) Brisket was juicy and flavorful. Added guac and queso and mushrooms for extra charge. Lots of toppings. Comes with rice and beans and cheese if you like. Chips were homemade and crispy, not oily. Great crunch. A variety of salsas and hot sauces at the salsa bar are available. Baja Fruit Tea was the highlight for me, a mango tea ... can't tell if it's a black tea base or what but really tasty and definitely recommend!! Seemingly unlimited refills so I also tried the Horchata but it was weak and tasted more like water. Friends said quesadilla and burrito bowl were also good. Big portion sizes for the bowl. Bathrooms on-site and clean. Happy to find Tex Mex in Brentwood! read more

Chile burrito puts chipotle to shame. Love the variety of meats and sizes that chile burrito has to offer. As you go through the assembly line everything is pretty familiar. One differentiator is that they throw the burritos on the grill to help make them more pliable and give a little texture. Also the salsa bar is a great option to customize your meal to your liking. read more

Great portion sizes! Quick and good service! It's a Brentwood staple that been around for years! read more

Great little place. Cozy atmosphere, food is made when you order. Fast friendly service.prices are good too. Don't need an equity LOC for a family to eat there. read more

This place is sooooo amazing lord the size of that burrito, I normally demolish them but had to take the rest home so good

Amazing service. Every thing is super fresh and the food is so good! Some coworkers brought me here once and I've been back 4 times. This place outdoes Chipotle and anything like it. 100% recommend! read more

This is a pretty simple no frills place with counter service and self serve drinks so why is it so often packed? Because the food is really good. I had a 12" grilled steak burrito and it was delicious. You choose your own fillings ( lettuce tomato onions etc) then it is folded, grilled and wrapped in aluminum foil. Truly delicious, tender beef, fresh veggies and grilled to perfection If you're in Brentwood definitely worth stopping here, it may even be worth a special trip! read more

This is always my go to spot when I don't want to cook! The grilled burritos are fantastic and the ingredients are always super tasty! My must have is definitely the fruit tea! read more

Chile B is love. Chile B is life. God bless Chile B. Baja fruit tea is to die for. Literally. I would request the baja fruit tea as my final meal on death row. Chile B cured my depression. Chile B gives me a will to live. Without Chile B... well, I can't imagine a worthwhile life without Chile B. I love Chile B. read more

Cons...no margaritas or delivery. Everything else is fantastic. The prices are reasonable. The food is diverse as far as choices and the employees are super nice and helpful. I will go out of my way to head to Brentwood to eat or grab takeout here as the food is delicious. It's similar to a Chipotle where you lineup to order and tell them what you'd like in your taco/burrito/bowl but the food, in my humble opinion, is tastier than the big chain and the vibe at the store is better. Their spicy salsa is fantastic and indeed spicy. They have a station with salsas, jalapenos, onions, cilantro, etc. Large rolls of paper towels at the tables too, as I go through a lot of paper towels lol. Seriously, folks, this is a no-fuss spot to pick up great tasting food and support a local family business. You won't be disappointed! read more

The reviews on this place read as though I visited another restaurant. QQ's experience described below mirrored mine. There is no customer service- no information about how to get in the line (there was no line but we were told to go another way). No information about how to order. The menu was indecipherable. The cook and cashier did not speak sentences relying on eyebrow lifting and flapping food in your face to give you a clue about the ingredient. The filling was minimal; I guess you have to order double portions of all add-ins to get a standard quesadilla. The food was not hot. For $25 for two, we were not sated - one in the party was a 93 year old 90 pound woman! The atmosphere was unwelcoming. Never again. Maybe it is a place for regulars who just do take out. read more

Place is great! Brentwood is lacking in healthy food options that don't break the bank. This place is like chipotle, but much better. The quality of ingredients is better, and it's a mom and pop restaurant. This year for his birthday, my son wanted to tackle the el titan burrito. There was no way he was going to take down this 3-foot long burrito, but he had a lot of fun talking it up, then trying it. Ultimately, 4 of us didn't finish it...Last night I had 3 tacos. 1 fish, 1 chicken, 1 steak. All were really great. Again, there aren't a lot of great, healthful options in this area, but this place shines. I'll probably be back tonight for a chicken burrito with some pico and some fresh serrano peppers. read more

I was doing some shopping with my kids on a Friday night and we stopped here because most places were pretty crowded. The menu has a decent amount of variety and the prices are great. The food is not exceptional but the two young ladies at the counter were friendly and the reason I gave an extra star. read more

Very good Mexican restaurant. We had a shrimp burrito, ground beef taco, cheese dip, rice and beans. The restaurant was clean and the staff were nice. They had a variety of salsa to choose from. read more

Pro: food did taste good. Con: service... mostly how they approach. The workers preparing your order should NOT voluntarily offer toppings that are an additional fee (the menu does not say what automatically comes on there). When I simply asked why my order came out so much, in an inconvenienced tone I was advised of the toppings... well the problem with that is I was offered them as if they automatically came on there with the exception of one. I know I'm only one person, but they won't get my business again based off this interaction. read more

OK at best. Staff seemed like they wanted to be anywhere but there. I like the available portion options, but everything is optional (including chips). What got me though, was the cheap, canned jalapeños they use. For the pricing, you would expect everything to be fresh. I prefer to support "local", but some of the National Chains produces just as good, if not a better experience. read more

Everything is great, always has been. Workers these days need to be retrained in customer service and patience. Gave me tortilla slop wrapped in foil without half the stuff I wanted in it. Sorry, but I don't prefer to play roulette with my food. Sad to say I won't return after a 13 year run. (Double meat here means one and a half scoops) read more

Lacked flavor with all the ingredients being bunched together and not spread throughout the burrito. Employees were not friendly either. Don't get queso unless you want an insane upcharge and are fine with not even tasting the queso.... read more

My son's favorite place. They have more/different meats as well as cheeses and drinks. It adds a bonus to the average burrito place. We enjoy it. read more

My family really enjoyed this taco place. Somewhat like chipotle but so much better. Price was good and food was excellent. Looking forward to visit again in the future. read more

Fresh!!! Everything is great but I typically land on the salad bowl. Better than Chipotle, fun atmosphere. Every person I have brought has returned (often). read more

I went here for the first time in 4th grade and probably have not gone a week without having it at least once since. I grew up with this as my favorite restaurant and I would go here for birthdays and receive gift cards as gifts for every occasion. Its food is fantastic and it's ignorant to go to this restaurant and not get the baja fruit tea. I can drive now and go here at least twice a week and my main reason for having a job is to pay for this multiple times a week. This is the greatest restaurant ever made and would recommend with my whole heart to go here as much as you can. read more

The owner of the franchise didn't great but only "certain" customers that came in. I waited there for 10 mins before I was even addressed. He was complaining of a large order he had to have in 30 mins, not to mention the line was growing. I watched him turn two young girls away after they waited and then a older guy walks in and he took his order right away. The young Hispanic woman is amazing and very knowledgeable. She should receive a raise because the owner doesn't appreciate her much. I WILL NOT COME BACK HERE! Very disappointed because the food was descent just the customer service was HORRIBLE from the OWNER! read more

Grilled tilapia tacos are plentiful and amazing! Be sure to get the yogurt sauce it comes with. Tuesday's you get 2 tacos, chips and drink for about $7 + tax! read more

This place is amazing!!! We are transplants from Arizona and Chile Burrito would give any Mexican food restaurants in AZ a run for their money! And the Tomatillo Diablo salsa...OUTSTANDING. I wish y'all bottled that. So good and so thankful we found this place. We will be regulars for sure. read more

This is one of my favorite places. This location has consistent, top notch food, great staff and a clean dining room. Get the brisket burrito! read more

Well over half of my quesadilla was completely empty - no fillings at all, not even cheese. This is unacceptable in any case, but when the restaurant makes a point of upcharging you for every little thing - the size of the tortilla, your choose of protein, any additional fillings you want - it is even more ridiculous to receive a 25% filled quesadilla. Stay away - this place is a complete ripoff. read more

The food here is great. I visited here yesterday at lunch on 1/7/2022. I ordered a 12 inch burrito and a small bag of chips. The older gentleman who has a muscular build rang up my total. He never told me the total and it was my fault for not asking. He took my credit card and then said thank you. He charged me $19.24, which I saw today 1/8/2022, as I am looking over my charges . This happened to me several weeks ago at the same location and a Hispanic lady running the register over charged me as well. Please tell your friends to ask for a receipt. This is very disappointing since I work in the area and try to support local businesses. I am sharing this info with my office next week, we visit this location every week. Get your receipt!!! read more

consistently great! Huge, customizable menu. friendly staff. nice environment and affordable.

Check your receipts if they even give you the itemized one! They don't listen, are in a rush when busy, will literally make a choice for you if you flinch, and overcharge you and hide it. Had to ask several times for the itemized receipt and saw food options I never asked for or got. The Hispanic lady tells me her guys are in training. I called her out on her bold face lie right on the spot. They were the same two dudes working there all the time. Tells you a lot. The food is good if you get what you ask for, but it's clear they fleece Brentwood pockets when given the chance. read more
