Don't be fooled by the name. Fat Burrito was awesome for our group of six people with 2 young kids. It was lively on a Friday night around 5pm. The margaritas were plentiful and the shrimp tacos were delicious. My dad raved about his rib eye and they had a great kids menu selection. It seemed like the gem of the area. A great family friendly place. read more

Just have to update my review because I see my last review was 7 years ago and I don't pay attention to old reviews if I'm researching a new spot. We go here at least 1 time every two weeks. It's our favorite spot and it's always delicious. They also seem to keep a consistent staff so they're very efficient and friendly. read more

By far best burrito for the money!! I had Fat Burrito in 2014, moved to Florida in 15 and now I'm back and I was pleasantly surprised to see Fat Burrito and was one of my first stops!! Highly recommend that for all Mexican cuisine. read more

A real hole in the wall for the Crown Pointe area. Prices are unbeatable. $4 for each taco and $4 for a small cheese dip that I didn't even finish on my own. Service was quick. The tacos were filled with meat and were so hot. For the price and quality you get, this beats any other Mexican restaurant you could find in the area. read more

This place is pretty good! My coworkers and I order here a lot, and their lunch special is hard to beat. It's cheap and delicious, and it's always made quickly. I was a fan of their birria tacos, but not the biggest fan of their consume. Otherwise, we've had great experiences here and will keep coming back read more

Great Mexican Cuisine! Best I have had in the area! It's very casual with drinks and great food. Staff is very nice too. read more

The steak burrito was one of the worst burritos I've had in my entire life. The fact that someone decided to put sour cream and salsa on the outside of the burrito is insane! read more

I recommend this place for run of the mill Mexican food by where I pause is customer service. Earlier today, 3/28/2026, I ordered food to be delivered through GrubHub. One of the items ordered was not delivered. I called the restaurant and spoke with the person who answered the phone. She acknowledged that my order that they received included the item not delivered but asked that I should reach out to GrubHub for my money back. I didn't want my money back, I just wanted my food. When I explained this to her, she handed the phone to the owner. He also acknowledged that the order sent to his restaurant included the item not delivered. While super combative, he said that there is nothing he can do but make the order again and someone can pick it up. I didn't ask for the food to be delivered for me to come and pick it up. The whole purpose of food delivery is that you don't have to leave the house. Then he blamed the driver from GrubHub for not delivering the food as according to the receipt. SIR: the GrubHub driver picked up what your incompetent staff handed them!!! He did finally concede and said that he will talk to his staff about making sure that the order matches what is picked up by the GrubHub drivers. But the whole encounter left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't like that the owner, a minority himself, would want to put the blame on GrubHub and essentially the driver who picked up the order when it was his staff that messed up. I would love to have seen some accountability. It was the restaurant staff that didn't read and/or package the order correctly. Not GrubHub or their driver. Do better folks. I will no longer support this business. read more

Used to really love this place! The last time I went here both myself and who I was with got horribly sick after eating so unfortunately I've got no intention of coming back. read more

Solid little Mexican restaurant... Good food and good service. As in the name, try the "Fat Burrito ".

Yum! We stoped in on a Thursday night with a group of 7. We were seated right away and had friendly service. Everyone at our table ordered drinks, $2 drafts on Thursday night was a plus for those not getting margaritas. The food portions were large for the price. Would recommend! read more

I should have reviewed this place years ago because I have loved it since my first experience here, at least five years ago. I discovered this place when I was driving from Chicago to Indianapolis and stopped at Crown Point to fill up my car. I saw "Fat Burrito " and figured a restaurant with that name would have to be good, lol. I like to stop by here whenever I am in the area. While everything I have ever ordered here has been delicious, my favorite menu item by far is the fat burrito. It is a truly overstuffed burrito, filled with quality ingredients that is too fat to pick up. I use a knife and fork, and it is big enough for two meals or for two people to share. Service is very friendly and you can call the restaurant to place your order. read more

Fat Burrito - Fat veggie burrito - Mexican Near Me - Crown Point, Indiana

The Good: drinks were amazing. Had a Michelada and the girl ordered a margarita. Both were delicious. Food came out very fast and the place was clean with a friendly staff The Bad: Although the drinks were good, they were a little on the pricey side. The Michelada was $8 which is kinda pricey for basically a draft beer with a few extra ingredients. Went with the "Fat burrito" since that was the name of the restaurant I figured you couldn't go wrong. The burrito was big, but didn't have too much flavor. Sour cream and lettuce took up over half of the filling inside. "Steak" was unseasoned and was more like ground beef than steak. The burrito was only 10.99 which is fairly cheap for the amount of food you're getting, but there's much better places around for similar prices. Overall I'd recommend coming here for a couple drinks, but not so much for the food read more

The food is awesome!!! Service staff is lean and they are usually busy so it was a little annoying waiting for drink refills and the check. The food makes up for it tho. Been here 3 times and will keep coming. read more

I'm from the region and I've been in Southern California most of my adult life. I also travel for work about 6-7 months out of the year so I get to sample some of the best and worst Mexican food in this country. Having said that, a Fat Burrito is the best damn wet burrito I've ever had hands down. Even for So Cal. The BEST! I always get some when I'm back in the area. Don't hesitate. I'm sure the rest of their food is excellent as well. read more

This ambiance was good. We recommend the spicy passion fruit margarita! It's a great Tex-Mex place. The only reason we have a 3 was because the meat portion was small compared to the portion of vegetables. The service was amazing otherwise, our waitress Alma was so attentive and very friendly. read more

Fat Burrito - Passion Fruit Margarita 18oz - Mexican Near Me - Crown Point, Indiana

Bring your appetite. The portions are ample. They're not skimpy by any means. I will say I'd like to see some more flavor. It really seems it's all the same but in different ways. A taco is a burrito is a tostada just in different wrappers. The service was great our waitress was right on it. It is in a strip mall so don't expect a fancy building. It's a bit dinghy but clean. Nothing fancy. If you're looking for a good meal this spot will fill you up. read more

The fat burrito servings are huge! I had left overs for two meals after. The flan was delicious! The burrito came out covered in cheese! The chip was also added to separate the beans from touching the burrito! Very smart! The employees all waved goodbye when we left everyone was so nice and friendly. The seating has since expanded in the past years and the remodeling is great! Many more seating options. read more

I have been coming here for years! Whenever I visit my parents and am craving Mexican I'll grab takeout or bring the whole family. My go to order is usually a steak or ground beef fat burrito with Swiss and red sauce dinner. Absolutely hits the spot every time. It's locally owned and very consistent. Which I absolutely love because you know every time you order, you're getting exactly what you want. The food is inexpensive but not low on quality. Sometimes at these small hole in the walls the food can be greasy or the meat extra tough. Not here! The service is friendly and the place is always busy even on week nights! I highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Great Mexican food! Service always friendly and makes you feel at home! Has become our regular Sunday morning stop

I'd ordered Steak ALA Mexicana based on your advertising . I'm very disappointed and concerned my to go plate was not the same as advertised. The meat was chopped and mixed with old meat I immediately spit the meat out as it was spoil foul tasting . NO refund I will NOT patron the restaurant again ! My stomach is turning badly !!!!!!! read more

Extremely yummy food. The service was very quick. Ambiance was nice and jazzy. Enjoyed my experience. Looking forward to coming back.

The customers service is nice but the food could be on a better side I ordered their tacos and burritos platters and I can definitely rate it a one only because it was cooked it has no taste and just really plan I will never return to this place read more

I really enjoy going to Fat Burrito in Crown Point. I have not been today other locations. We have been going there since the first week they opened. They have grown into several restaurants. The manager Jose at CP is the best and his crew is great too. It's a fun place to have lunch or dinner. read more
