I had to kill a little time before a show at the Amphitheatre (or whatever it's called now), so I figured I'd grab a quick burrito on my way down there. I felt like a burrito with chunks of meat in it, which led me to their Roasted Steak menu item. I ordered it with every topping available and requested the hottest spice level. It's fine. There's absolutely nothing within it that blew my mind, but I happily ate the concoction down to the last bite. I will say, though, that the Roasted Steak turned out to be tasteless pulled meat, so that was a little disappointing. And the spice level was far from extreme, unfortunately. I did appreciate that guacamole was provided free of charge. It's a little ridiculous that the majority of burrito joints charge an extra couple of bucks for the stuff, so kudos to you, Fat Bastard, for bucking that dumb, cash-grabbing trend. read more

I was very satisfied with my recent burrito! They had a deal on SkipTheDishes for orders over $25 you get a free item! The free item was Cinnamon Churro Chips. These were a nice little treat, it was a huge serving as well, I'll be snacking on these for a few days! They basically taste like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, what a delight! I'm actually going to take some & put them in a bowl with almond milk! OH YEA! My burrito was a beef burrito with awesome fresh ingredients of my choice. My eyes were bigger than my stomach though, I couldn't even finish it! I will be ordering from here again, and perhaps I will try the "fries supreme" ;) Thank you FBB! read more

We went to Fat Bastard Burrito in Liberty Village for a late lunch today. Gord got their feature ... a big chicken bacon burrito and he said it was good. I hadn't had breakfast and was starving so ordered a huge chicken burrito, figuring I would take what I couldn't eat home. Well, I ate the whole thing ... and it was delicious! read more

Wanted to grab a quick bite. We went in and we got the three chicken tacos. The chicken was dry but the sauce thAt was on the tacos was pretty good. It was a good taco but not a great taco or the best taco. I probably wouldn't stop back there again but if u want a quick bite and it have to wait then stop in there grab a taco or burrito but if you are looking for an amazingly delicious mouth watering taco or burrito then you might be slightly disappointed unless your starving.. then at that point anything would taste amazing ! read more

Fat Bastard Burrito - Tequila Chicken lime taco - Mexican Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm rating this burrito joint 4/5 when compared to other fast food burrito joints (in comparison, I'd give Chipotle a 1/5 for their burritos that are basically edible tubes of wet meat and weird rice), not compared to fine dining establishments. Like, it's a place to grab a quick and hefty meal - there's nothing particularly special about it. This particular location is on the path I take home from work, so I've been to it quite a few times. I like some variety, so I've tried a few different meat/protein options - my favourites are the pulled pork, sweet potato, and tofu (seriously! It's seasoned nicely and has a great texture). I usually order everything except jalapenos on my burritos, which makes the portion size MASSIVE and makes this place pretty good value when you're really hungry. Service has always been quick here, in my experience. read more

I absolutely love their battered fish burrito! It's the best! They offer a wide variety of toppings and yes, guacamole is included and does not come at an additional cost, unlike other places. Their hot sauce I find varies from location to location for some reason, this location has a good one though. The service is efficient and I've tried both in-store and ritual orders, it's almost always consistent. A few good ones I've tried are, Jerk Chicken, Tequila Lime, Battered Fish, Yam, Shrimp and Buffalo Chicken (this one has been my least favorite so far). The price is good and I find the big size to be more than enough for a heavy meal and small if you're not too hungry. read more

This is a pretty decent burrito joint in liberty village. Currently it is the only one in the neighborhood I believe. LV prices, huge size comes to about $15. Ingredients are not bad, but the meat is not a huge amount and gets lost amongst the fillings. I see so many whiners about this place and rest assured it is not 1* bad - those are just snowflake whiners. Is it the greatest ? No, by a longshot, but it is decent and filling when you have that burrito craving. The staff are fine. Don't believe the bullshit you read about how they are rude or inattentive. I've been in this neighborhood for more than half a decade and eating at this place - people working there are ok. Recently more and more snowflakes are moving to LV and distorting the whole place complaining about everything and everyone. Ignore. read more

First time at this location. It's about the same size as the the other locations I've been to, maybe a tad bit smaller with limited seating. Restaurant was clean and I like that they have a little condiment area with different hot sauces to choose from. I was served right away and my burrito took maybe 5 mins tops. I got my usual sautéed veggie burrito on whole wheat which was delicious. As for customer service, it was average, nothing special or out of the ordinary. I recently started working in the area so I will definitely be a regular here. I was starving so I forgot to take a picture of my burrito but I'm pretty sure everyone knows what a burrito looks like lol. read more

Absolutely nothing special about Fat Bastards. Got there after the lunch rush so wasn't busy, order was made quickly if not haphazardly. The issue I had was yes it was on the expensive side, it was the quantity. The large burrito bowl consisted of a lot of bagged lettuce as filler and not much meat. Not as much topping selection as other burrito restaurants. It was to sum it up, it was okay. read more

Fat Bastard Burrito - Ground beef naked burrito bowl - Mexican Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

So I certainly eat my fair share of burritos and Mexican food. I have found myself in positions where I'm in need of a burrito and due to a lack of time and nearby fast burritos, I enter fat bastard. I do find that fat bastard has some similarities to burrito boyz, but still it's just not that good. The meat is not very good. The steak is not steak? It's like microwaved beef. Everything else in the burrito is cold so I mean all that time flipping the burrito with bare hands goes to waste. Also not sure why they insist on using bare hands to rolls and flip the burrito? Like seriously this isn't rocket science. Sandwich artists at subway have found a way. They also make you pay extra for them to put sauce on the burrito and pretend it's some new special burrito. I would suggest everyone stay away from the lousy burritos spots so we can get something good in LV. Chipotle ? Heck mucho burrito is ten times better. Give me a burrito that is hot. If you're desperate for a burrito it'll get the job done. But when you start asking them to not grill it so you can avoid their hands all over your burrito and get your own hot sauces you realize you should just stop going. Overall score: 1.2 read more

Mediocre burrito with mediocre service. They have a pick up counter for Ritual but they ignore it unless you call out to them. What's the point? read more

I have been on a burrito bonanza this week; my first stop was Fat Bastard Burrito (FBB) in Liberty Village. This location just opened up in the area and I have been meaning to try out their burritos. FBB menu has a unique menu selection; offering burritos in various sizes, quesadillas and they even have dessert options (deep fried mars bars!). I got the "Lill" which was a descent dinner portion, I can't imagine what the larger sizes are like. Their toppings/fillings are pretty standard with the exception of a couple - coleslaw and crunchies. Overall my chicken burrito with the toppings I selected was average; I found the rice very dry and refried beans took over the burrito taste. Maybe I should have asked for more burrito sauce?! If you want to check out a unique menu, FBB should be on your list. read more

I didn't enjoy the burrito here. I got to pulled pork burrito and it lacked flavour. The meat wasn't great. They do have a nice selection of toppings. The are also pretty quick. Maybe the other options are better. Overall, I wasn't impressed and I won't be back here in a hurry. I still love Chiptole's more. read more

Very good service first of all, cannot say anything bad about the people that work here, they are beautiful people. I cannot believe it myself, but this was our first time at this chain. Interior is simple, black, nice. High chairs and high tables make up the seating area. We got tacos and two naked burritos. The chicken was very dry on one of the naked burritos. The pulled pork was allright, nothing special. The ground beef taco (soft) was the best part of the meal. The toppings were not fresh. We will give it another try. read more

Identical to the Queensway location. Not quite as generous with the toppings, but the "lil" size is still plenty big enough. Although, I had to ask for more beans on mine, and at first the server said no, quoting the reason as me having ordered the 'lil. So I had to point out that I had ordered the bean and cheese burrito - it was definitely deserving of more beans. When she realized what I had ordered, she agreed and happily obliged. No stools or chairs yet - just a few cruiser tables... so we took ours to go. Place seems clean. Customer service was sort of dismal. I'm sure they'll make a killing on the lunch crowd though! And if they stay open late, they'll be busy for the after the bar crowd too. read more

I come here all the time because it's super quick and easy. I usually order the baked chicken burrito bowl, this is more like warmed up frozen chicken that is a little watery while still being dry as a result. It's your average burrito fare with the refried beans, rice and veggies (they also have egg noodles...SOOOO GROSSSSS....soggy and super greasy, so opt out). The veggies are mostly fresh and fine. The hot sauce is SUPER SPICY - which a lot of people underestimate. This place gets super busy during the weekdays at lunch time, but turnover is pretty quick. read more

The reviews don't do this place justice, for what it is - a fast food burrito joint - I was thoroughly impressed. Quality meats and fish, super quick service and very generous portions. Absolutely recommend if you're in the mood for some Mexican and not looking for a full sit down experience. read more

I have been to this location many times and all went well. But on June 12, 2019, I passed by with a friend around 9:45PM and there was 1 person before us in the line. When it was our turn, we asked the lady at the cashier to give us a minute in order to decide what we want, then few minutes later (at 9:50PM), when we went to order, we saw that she has already turned off the cashier and she said we can't order. I tried to tell her that just a minute ago she was ready to take the order, so her only reply was that they close in 10 minutes. At this point, we just left as it was worthless to get into an argument with her. I hope the management sees this review and ask the employees to better treat their customers. read more

Sometimes I give in to my craving and get a burrito from Fat Bastard. Usually it does the job (not in the way Chipotle does, but then again who can beat Chipotle?). Coming to this location, though, was the worst decision I've ever made. Sure the burrito tasted similar to how it usually does at other locations, but the staff made the entire experience cringe-worthy. First, they messed up our burrito order by using a whole wheat tortilla instead of white tortilla. Totally fine, mistakes happen. But when we told them we didn't want a whole wheat tortilla, they insisted on simply transferring the contents of the burrito from one tortilla to another. Um, hello? No! Just make us a new burrito - it doesn't cost you much to do so! Then, when we were eating the burrito I found that a lot of the noodles were uncooked and felt like sharp pieces of plastic in my mouth. Nice. That was just the cherry on top for me - never returning to this location again! read more

Great little spot. As far as fast food burritos go, this place is pretty danm good. Its no chipotle, but i always feel that i have received good value for my money. The ingredients are fresh and their service is quick. read more

Excellent service by staff. Very nice for vegetarians. Highly recommended

One of the best places to get a burrito For ten dollars you can get one that's 10 inches long and so wide that you have to hold it both hands the filling was good though they did hold up a bit on the guacamole but as it was late night I couldn't be bothered. I had the butter chicken. It's on the more expensive side after all it came down to 11 something The only down side I can say it there drinks are expensive and the people who serve talk quietly I had trouble hearing when the server was asking me for a what type of sauce I wanted but they kept there cool and I was keen to tip well for there troubles. If you want to dine in there's a outdoor patio clean and we'll kept. Only down side to it is that it can feel a but crowded due to the lack of space and there's no napkins or garbage bins outside read more

They are doing amazing with their new menu specially Root veggies and Shrimp Tacos. Highly recommend for vegetarians.

Warning. Employees here do not change gloves after touching the cash, grabbing things from the floor and getting dirty from ingredients. After not peppers for example. The staff are friendly but this to me is a huuuuge oversight. read more

I am not one to post reviews but I felt I had to say something. I came in looking for something vegetarian and ordered the classic bean and cheese burrito. It think it is reasonable from the name for me to have expected it to contain beans. It had NO BEANS. When I asked the person making the burrito where were the beans, she pointed to some brown sauce (presumable refried beans that seemed to have no beans in it), of which she had put maybe one table spoon in the whole burrito. She added more when I asked. She then proceeded to put about two full cups of white rice into it. I was really disappointed that the burrito did not contain actual, regular beans but by then I had already paid (to top it off, it had cost me as much as the meet burritos even though it had no protein in it). If you are looking for a rice burrito go for it, but I was not. I will be happy to purchase here again in the future if they up their bean game. I appreciated that it had guacamole in it, that was great. read more

I'm updating my review simply because this place is beginning to disappoint. The burrito itself is smaller, the amount of protein they give you has significantly decreased and the place is not as neat and tidy. If you ask for extra guacamole they look at you like you're crazy. I'm a regular there but I'm now looking for another burrito spot. read more

I found Fat Bastard Burrito to be very disappointing. My husband and I went in and ordered a beef burrito and a bean and cheese burrito. I found the bean and cheese burrito to be bland and lacked authenticity. As a Latina myself, I don't expect perfection from a "fast food burrito" location but I did expect better than what I received. The hot sauce that was added was very spicy, but not in a flavorful way, only in heat. My husband ordered the ground beef burrito and also disappointed. There was only a small amount of beef inside the burrito and was also bland. Service was good, you can watch the Non Hispanic staff attempt to make Hispanic food. But the staff was friendly and prompt. While it was not inedible, I doubt we will be returning. read more

Service was good but for some reason this location is not as good as the one on queen st. very salty and a poor amount of the main dish. Sad experience here today. read more

Fast service and really delicious pulled pork burrito. Will be coming back when I feel like pigging out again.

Definitely not a clean place. Ate a burrito bowl Friday night and was throwing up through the night and same from the other end as well... been having stomach pains and every time I burp I taste the terrible jerk chicken sauce and almost puke right after. WALK THE EXTRA DISTANCE AND STAY THE **** AWAY. read more

Service is super slow so I wouldn't recommend it for "quick" takeout. I had the fried battered fish burrito, with almost all the toppings (lots to choose from and there is also a whole wheat tortilla option). It was just OK in my books, I wasn't wowed or blown away. Generous portion as I didn't finish mine though I felt like there was more batter in my burrito than actual fish. I'm usually immune to hot sauce since I use so much of it but did feel a little bit of heat from their house hot sauce. 2 "big" burritos and 2 tamarind sodas came up to about $25. I'd probably eat there again if I was in the area but don't think I'd trek over there specifically for a burrito. read more

Don't come here unless you want to be mistreated. I haven't taste t food yet, but I've already decided not to come back ever. The guy at the cash treated us as if we were implied to know their menu details and exclusions. Didn't take 2 secs to let us know the beverage options included on the combo and got upset when we asked for a jar to instead of a canned pop. The girl preparing the burritos was very cheap with the toppings and also expected us to know what everything was. Overall terrible service read more

Hot dang was that ever a good burrito! I just got a "lil" yam burrito that proved to be HUGE and I've got no complaints. Good food. Decent service. One of the only places that stays open until 10 on Sunday in the area. Nice to have a third option after Metro and the Shawarma joint. read more

These burritos are HUGE and I only got the lil size! I was intrigued by the noodles but didn't try them, a step too far for a burrito traditionalist like me. I did however get the crunchies which was a good move. Losing a couple of stars because the chicken was too salty and there wasnt enough choice of salsa. read more

I got the extra big size and it came empty, not full of anything really. We got tofu and they tasted like sponge. Very dry burrito.

The 'lil size is plenty big. Yam and battered fish are both delicious. However, quality for the battered fish does tend to vary -- some days the batter is light and crispy, other days it's thick and greasy. Lots of toppings to choose from, but there are a few non-standards like noodles, crunchies and coleslaw. read more

Consistently good. I go here at least once a week. I have yet to be disappointed. Lots of options. They've made a science of getting people served quickly and well. read more

Food here is good, but often inconsistent. Service is passable. Prices are reasonable but if they were any higher I'd probably not come here anymore unless the quality and portions were more consistent, more fresh and portions were larger. Often times I find my burrito is thrown together and leaky by the time it gets home. Baked burritos also soggy and portions seem way too small for what you pay. read more

Nothing obliterates drunk hunger than one of these bad boys! There are probably better burritos to be had in the city but these guys do a pretty good job. My go-to burrito is definitely, without doubt, the sauteed shrimp. It's absolutely delicious every time and their hot sauce is actually pretty damn hot (but only if you ask for "extra hot sauce"). Leaves me in a sweaty mess for at least 20 minutes afterwards but it's worth it! read more
