Food was full of flavor clean restaurants and wonderful staff. I recommend this establishment if you want food that is seasoned well.

Always me and my wife's go to Mexican spot. The food never misses and the service is always quick. Haven't found a spot that has better prices either. Some of our favorites are The steak tacos, the steak and shrimp burrito, the al pastor tacos, and the queso dip read more

The good. Burrito was fantastic. The Bad. The service was slow and not very friendly. The worst. The music was horrible. I ate much faster than normal just to get out of there. I'd order to go but never will dine in again. read more

Tucked away in a strip mall , adjacent to a bank and Jewel Food store, is a real solid choice for Mexican food. Steak burrito dinner was excellent. Big pieces of tender steak and good beans and rice. Chips were above average, crispy yet not greasy. One word of caution, the Margaritas were not good. Really not good. They are cheap, but it is obvious they are using the cheapest booze they can find. Choose something else or stick with the food. Despite the bad margaritas, we look forward to trying more items on the menu. There seems to be a lot of choices for Mexican in the area, but this place is a standout. We will be back...soon! read more

Had it in Merrillville when it was here shortly I liked the food I had the fat steak burrito dinner and it was fya

food is always top notch and service is always great. One of the best places to eat in crown point.

Good food, open during snowstorms :) A little difficult to order online, but easy to order in store for take out read more

The food was really good. Me and my husband dined in and had a sope dinner and the burrito. All of the food was fresh and really good and the service was really great! I haven't had a good quality sope in so long..it was perfect! read more

Good food at a reasonable cost. Basic surroundings. Easy parking. Full bar available.

Tried Fat Burrito Saturday pm. It was busy and crowded so we ordered food to go. I ordered the regular burrito, pork with no sour cream and my partner ordered the chile relleno burrito. The service was fast and friendly enough, they were very busy. Food came out pretty fast. I wasn't thrilled with my burrito though. It was super wet, almost like it had spaghetti sauce inside of it. The flavor was okay, but you could not taste anything except for whatever sauce they used. I am used to West Coast burritos where the pork is usually carnitas and there is salsa in the burrito. This was not carnitas, and they had told me that when I ordered. However, I have never had a burrito that was so liquid inside. My partner enjoyed her burrito. The only thing she didn't like was that there were not enough beans. I would order differently and try to find an open table so I could eat in next time around. I think Fat Burrito has promise and I want to try it again. read more

Love the food, love the people and love the service. Always courteous, very fast getting food out for pickup or eat in. Prices are good. Family friendly read more

I really enjoyed this place. My husband and I stopped in to order togo. He always orders a giant burrito and they delivered. Reason for the 4 stars is he said the flavor was lacking. I personally would eat there again. I got the sopes with pollo and it was delicious. The chips were fresh as well. My husband is kind of a burrito snob. read more

I never have a problem at this establishment! From food to drinks everything has been great. The service is always a tentative, even when they're busy and even though the place is small and I always feel comfortable in the establishment. read more

This place has become the weekend lunch spot. Fast, friendly, clean, delicious, and affordable. Great service and excellent food brings us back each time. Definitely recommend this place for any meal Update: Tried other places in the area... Also from Chicago and Cali and know what authentic Mexican food should taste like. Best place anywhere you could comfortably drive from the area. Salsa is the best around anywhere and one of the employees makes it himself. He's an awesome waiter and is more than humble. Long story short, best Mexican food around! read more

Fat Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Crown Point, Indiana

Very welcoming, food was great very delicious, at this time the serving size is very fair for their prices. Food was very very good, the cook did a very good job making it. Very friendly staff, best authentic tacos around in my opinion. Awesome food? Check. Great service? Check. Affordably priced? Check. I can't say enough about how good Fat Burrito is. If you haven't been, make it a priority to get here! read more

This is the go to Mexican restaurant! So good every time! Staff is friendly and food is always delicious! Definitely recommend! Nothing like a fat margarita and some tacos read more

Food is excellent! But DO NOT order from a delivery app (Door Dash, Grubhub, etc). They do not have any agreements with the restaurant, so the menus don't communicate. The owner himself told me you must call them directly and pick up your order. Otherwise the delivery app people have to go in and order it for you, and according to the restaurant staff "always get it wrong and you get the wrong order." This is what happened to us. I ordered $40 worth of food, however the door dasher ordered 4 $2 tacos for a total of ~$10. I'm guessing they pocketed the remaining money for themselves. Fat Burrito told me there was nothing they could do because my payment was handled through DoorDash. We learned our lesson and will only order directly through Fat Burrito from now on! read more

Apparently this is a taco dinner with cilantro and onion. When told it was wrong I was told the cooks always check orders before sent out so it can't be wrong read more

My husband and I were told of Fat Burrito and decided to give it a shot. We are SO glad we did. Best food in the area. And their desserts are to die for. Literally so tasty. We go back often as this is our go to for date night. Highly recommend!!! read more

Great food and wonderful service! Will definitely be back soon! Just expanded their seating so should not be a problem getting a seat.

I absolutely love this place the dinners are very plentiful and tastes great

Horrible name, excellent restaurant! I particularly like their pork, chorizo, and chicken. Great job on fajita quesadilla! Haven't been unhappy with anything I've there. read more

I love this place im from NYC my boyfriend is from DF (mexico city) born and raised and he said Indiana tacos are superior than those of new york. I agree. He said they taste more authentic. It's probably the corn they use for the tortillas, so fresh ! Midwest is famous for corn so it only makes sense ! He says to get the birria tacos best in all of merrilville and crown point read more

Fat Burrito - Menu free chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Crown Point, Indiana

Fat Burrito is the place to visit when you want tasty burritos, tacos or a salad. That's all my husband and I have enjoyed. Sorry, no pics. We eat our dinner too fast. The ingredients are fresh, meat seasoned well and that fat burrito will satisfy the strongest hunger pains. Try them out! read more

Simply a great authentic Mexican cuisine restaurant which provides carry out and dine in service. Hidden jewel in Crown Point,must sample.

I always have had good service and food from fat burrito! Everyone has always been so nice when helping or taking my order. Everything I have tried from fat burrito also has been very good. I highly recommend the burritos also! read more

Moved to the area a few months ago and have not really had a great experience when it comes to takeout. We do not get that often but the places we have tried so far have been underwhelming for sure. I give Fat Burrito an A. Tacos were great and the Fat Burrito was excellent. Will definitely be back! read more

We love Fat Burrito and have eaten there for years. Personable staff, excellent food.

Solid place, good food at a good price for the portion you get. Of course like every other Mexican joint, you get chips and salsa when you sit down. The chips were... well they were chips. The salsa was great though, just a bit of spiciness and they added some fresh chopped cilantro in it which set it apart from some of the other similar places in the area. I ordered the Chicken Burrito with Spanish Rice, my lovely companion had ordered the Steak version. Burritos are pretty giant - even for the regular sized ones. Stuffed just the right amount so you don't have some sloppy mess on your plate after the first bite. I thought the chicken was delicious and the other ingredients in the burrito were perfectly proportioned to each other. I got a couple bites of the Steak Burrito too, also absolutely om nom nom good. Spanish rice was OK for me but, nothing too special. It was a good accompaniment to the burrito though. Service was good, food came out fast and hot, the restaurant itself was kinda small, but it seemed like the majority of the patrons were getting take out. Over all, I'd say I'd go back for more. read more

Very good food. Wished it was a little cleaner. Service was a little slow, but best Mexican food in the area. read more

Wow! Super good! I wish I would have thought about taking a picture of my husbands meal. He got the fat burrito with steak and chorizo. Best chorizo I've had, probably, ever. I ended up eating quite a few bites of his meal and not finishing mine(I got tacos. Although very good, I regretted my choice). And not to mention it was HUGE and covered is queso sauce. We sort of accidentally stopped here during our travel from central Wisconsin to southern Indiana. We checked out the reviews and it seemed great. We like non-major chain restaurants, and decided to try here. They have three locations, all within about 15-20 miles of each other. Great service as well! read more

So good. Amazing Mexican comfort food. The portions are huge and nothing is crazy over priced. Definitely one of the best in the area. We've had the burritos, tacos and bistec ala mexicana. All really good with great flavors. I've also had the tampiquena. This is probably the only thing I wouldn't order again. It was delicious but overpriced for the serving they offer. The rice and beans are just average but really I can't think of anywhere I gush over rice and beans. Maybe I just don't really like rice and beans... They're not located super close to us but I'll make the drive cuz it's worth it. =] read more

It's pretty good. They are really nice people. Haven't been there in a bit but will go back again. Mostly do their carryout.

The best! The fat Milanese burrito is one of my favorite things to eat EVER! So delicious highly recommend. The service is always excellent and the food comes out QUICK! read more

Maybe Fat Burrito is one of the more authentic places down in the Merrillville area. I don't know... I went there today and didn't find FB to be that great. It's a small taqueria style place, which is fine. The chips and salsa at my table were OK. I liked the salsa, but I prefer more of the thin and crispy chips. These were on the thicker side. Anyway, it was fine. I ordered a stuffed pepper burrito (fat = large). OK, first of all, nobody needs to order a fat burrito; WAY too huge. Not knowing that my first time there was too bad. I asked the waiter if these were like Chipotle size, but he told me he didn't know because he'd never been there. I guess that makes sense... :-) Anyway, this thing was so big and it comes covered with sauce so it has to be eaten with a knife a fork. Kind of meh... I only finished like 2/3 of it. More importantly, the burrito itself was kind of bleh. Not bad, but pretty much bland. Maybe the normal veggie burrito would've been better / safer for a first visit choice. I also think it had too much lettuce - which probably contributed to the blandness. The service also could've been better. After getting me my food and drink, the waiter never came back to check on me and I'm not high maintenance or anything like that. I just would've liked a refill on my Pepsi. I had my last few bites... dry... if you will. Anyway, instead of waiting around, I walked up to the front counter to pay so I could leave. Maybe one guy up front isn't enough at dinner time. read more

Good food!!! Very friendly staff and the fat burrito was super good. I got the shrimp and got extra shrimp with it. My wife got a taco and a quesadilla. Definitely going again. read more

Fat burrito was so good when CP didn't have any other Mexican food options. Their prices have gone up and their tacos have gotten smaller. Not so sure if its my favorite Mexican restaurant any longer. With many quality restaurants coming to CP, fat burrito should be on notice to compete, I personally use to order all the time. Now its the "hey we haven't had fat burrito in a while". They are an OK mexican food place now for me. read more

This my favorite spot right now. Hands down. You have to try the puffy tacos. It's like an in between on a sope and a tamale. You won't regret it. You might regret not getting more. So far I've had the carne asada, al pastor, & Chile Verde. Al Pastor is my go to. Rice & Beans are really good too. read more

The food and the service are both fantastic. Everyone is friendly and smiling. The margaritas are not only inexpensive but delicious too, but be careful they can pack a punch! read more
