Excellent. Staff was friendly and welcoming and explained how their daily menu was laid out. Portions were great and the food was delicious. Chipotle style setup but with more unique and inventive ingredients, with local charm. Perfect stop after a hike or as an alternative to one of the many chains in the area. read more

Food is eveybody so nice I love my fun size steak burrito with my chips and queso and salsa

We eat here, every time we are in town. Mountain Burrito is delicious! I don't know the name of the guy who was working the middle, but I'd hire him in a heartbeat! Fresh ingredients, excellent execution, and generous portions. Well worth it! Yes, you want the pickled onions. The chorizo is on point! And we love their guacamole. Ambiance is laid back, totally Western NC Mountain Hippie! I felt at home, instantly. read more

Been going around trying to find burritos within an hour radius of my general area, and I really, really wanted to like this place as it's the closest this far. So, I got a full-size carne asada burrito and it was a good burrito for sure - the pineapple habanero salsa was delicious, the carne asada was very flavorful. However, there were a couple pain points that kept me from escalating this burrito's status to "great". First, I would have loved it if the rice was a seasoned rice instead of the plain white rice that was there. Without any real flavor to it, it just felt like filler. Second, my burrito just wasn't balanced well. What I mean is when you get a burrito where almost every bite, you're getting a little of every ingredient. My burrito, however...well, one side of it was rice and black beans and the other side was where the meat resided - almost impossible to get the beans, rice and meat together in a bite unless I unhinged my jaw to get my mouth around the whole burrito. And I didn't even seem to hit the pineapple habanero salsa until about halfway down the burrito. I have a feeling I might enjoy a burrito bowl or nachos more, since the ingredients can be more easily distributed with one of those, so I may have to try that on another visit. read more

Food and service were outstanding. They now have more indoor dining space. Great selection of burritos and ingredients. Chips are fresh and tasty. read more

Service was superior. Food was delicious and the menu was wonderfully display. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend to others. read more

We stopped here while driving through North Carolina on our way back to the Charlotte area. I felt like Mexican food and this little place came up on Yelp. This is a "Chipotle" style place but so much better. I ordered the Roasted Pork Salad and chose my toppings. Everything was delicious especially the pork. My husband had a chicken burrito. He usually does. The chips and salsa were very good. The restaurant is on the small side and the tables are kind of tight. Service was nice and friendly. read more

The selection of toppings is mighty long. Lots of sauces and veggies to choose from. I can't just get a toco because a taco can't fit as much stuff in it as a burrito a bowl or a plate of nachos or taco salad. Try a pineapple salsa and don't skimp on the queso read more

Updating this review as it continues to be a favorite stop when heading to Western NC. There's so many options that it's hard to make the perfect burrito but it's always delicious and very filling! Highly recommend and look forward to checking out the new location as well. read more

A Morganton institution. Think of Chipotle, except homegrown ingredients and many more options. Always been fascinated by the different salsa flavors they have, but tread carefully if you're sensitive to heat I usually get the chicken salad, brown rice, with some corn, grilled peppers, etc and top it with chipotle Mayo. Very tasty and always enough to take back for a 2nd meal, so a good deal. I also get the Hella Yella dipping sauce, which is ghost pepper and mustard combined for a very spicy chip and taco dip. I know this place is currently only open on Fridays and weekends, but hopefully it can get to where it's open even more. It's always pretty crowded here. One heads up. I won't knock a star off because I love this place and eating outside, but it is next to the Case Farms chicken plant. May be best to choose your lunch outing on a day it's not windy. read more

Mountain Burrito - Chicken burrito salad, with chipotle mayo on top - Mexican Near Me - Morganton, North Carolina

This was once again the perfect post-hike meal especially since the atmosphere is casual. This time I tried tacos. The ropa vieja was tender and flavorful. The carne asada was a bit tough. There are a vast number of toppings and especially salsa options that can be added to your food choice. Note when you ask for hot salsa a step or two down from the top level that you are still asking for really hot salsa! Still wish everything tasted a little more fresh in nature. The inside of this restaurant remains closed for seating but there seemed to be more picnic tables compared to last time? read more

I cannot say enough good things about Mountain Burrito! You can pick a burrito, tacos, nachos, or baked & they utilize local ingredients & prepare everything fresh daily for the array of toppings. My nachos were fresh fried & smothered in queso. I picked the very flavorful chicken as my protein. Then I went with black beans, green leaf lettuce, jalapeños, fresh pico, & sour cream. Each bite was a mountain-full burst of flavors in my mouth-perhaps how they got their very fitting name. My eating companion got tacos, and they come with chips & 1 salsa. Any time I'm in Morganton, I plan to stop here for a quick and satisfying meal! Hint: they currently only have outside seating on picnic tables. read more

Great, fresh food. They are always getting better too! The setting is not ideal, but they move in an out quickly.

We were looking for a place to eat after spending the afternoon hiking in the mountains and found this place highly rated on Yelp. We came in around 3 on a Saturday and there were a few people there. It's the same style of build your own burrito as Chipotle, but with way better selection. You can pick from a burrito, a naked burrito, and tacos. I went with a naked burrito (burrito bowl) with chorizo, steak, black beans, peppers and onions, zucchini, lettuce, shredded cabbage, jalepeño slaw, cheese, cilantro, chopped onions, pickled onions, guacamole, and fresh tomato pico. It was absolutely delicious. I've never been a huge fan of the fast food build your own Mexican chains, but this was so much better. The flavors and selection were great. I also tried some of the queso my friend got and it was really good. All of the burritos also come with chips which is really nice if you get a naked burrito. I would definitely come back here again next I'm in the mountains looking for some good food. read more

Great mexican food with a southern twist. We ate twice while we were in town for a few days and will definitely return. Loved all, but the pork was by far my favorite. I got it on nachos with cheese, cilantro and onions . read more

Food was fresh and large portions. I ordered spicy and it was. We ate out side but they mostly do takeout

I had lunch here with a group after a Saturday hike and we loved it! Huge servings and lots of fresh toppings are available. Very small seating area inside, lots of tables outside. Make sure to get a salsa on your burrito as it isn't super flavorful otherwise. read more

Mountain Burrito - Chicken burrito bowl with lots of toppings including guacamole (big serving compared to most places). It's a lot of food! - Mexican Near Me - Morganton, North Carolina

This is a great stop for local food and local hot sauce!!! My hubs has an affinity for everything hot and spicy and typically no restaurant is willing to be so happy to entertain spicy lovers. They not only made an excellent burrito but they made him sweat! If you love spicy, this is your place. read more

The Subway of burritos. Went last year and thought it was very good. This time a huge difference. Doesn't look very clean inside and the bathroom door doesn't lock. When we tried to eat at the side outdoor picnic table the overwhelming smell of their garbage cans caused us to leave. Their homemade chips sadly are reminiscent of cardboard. read more

Dark and small with one community table inside and picnic tables outside. I have never been here and let them know but no one explained prices or anything else. They seem to be used to everyone knowing what to do. I got a naked burrito: rice was plain white rice that wasovercooked, black beans were cooked well but no seasoning, potatoes were delish, Im not sure how much jalepeno slaw was given to me but I had a hard time finding it, lettuce was fresh, guacamole was good, the pineapple salsa was just canned pineapple it seemed. It was nutritious but lacking in flavor surprisingly considering all the toppings. Maybe they expect everyone to pour sauce on it? My kids chicken and cheese burrito was enjoyed. Chips are very thick but seems homemade. It's an ok place but not worth a second trip for me especially for the price and lack of customer service. read more

These people are idiots, every time. After several visits I can attest to Consistently slow almost rude service. Have not written a review because the food is ok. Went in today and was told to leave by the boy behind the counter that was fondling his mask while preparing food. read more

Mountain Burrito is one of the best things to happen to Morganton, NC. The ingredients are fresh and it stands out from the rest of restaurants with similar concept. It's been quite a long time since I've stopped in for a bite to eat but it was still as delicious. The pulled pork was a hit burrito was a hit. It was super tender and complimented by the rest of the ingredients like salads, lettuce, rice, and bean. I would give it a five star but had to take a star away because the people working there didn't seem too friendly. I complimented them and tried to have a conversation and felt shut out -- possibly work on customer service? read more

I Just Dig this place, Great feel, Great staff, Great burritos ( I had Naked), Chips are good. Look I Dont want to set up any unreasonable expectations but you are foolish if you do not go in and have a great meal. Tight on seating if the weather is bad but go early.\I Went with 4 co-workers and no one had a bad thing to say and since i have been they have been back at least twice. This will be a place I take family and friends also, Keep your eye on the prize fellas and one day this place will go viral! lol in a good way! read more

Love the food and the portions! I wish they were open everyday, but they have limited schedule so pay attention. read more

Mountain Burrito is one of our favorite spots in town. You walk up to the counter and build your meal based on a wide variety of bases, meats (or veggies!), toppings, and salsas. Everything is fresh and bursting with flavor. I'm gluten-free and dairy dairy-free and can always find lots of options that work for me (and there are always plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day). Staff is friendly and helpful and overall it's a good value for the quality and quantity of food. My whole family can find something we all enjoy. It's a pretty no-frills place in general. Some tables outside to eat, and a decent selection of local beers. Don't miss trying one of their special salsas - the Sunshine is my favorite! read more

Ambiance is a big disappointment. Seems like take out is encouraged but if you go there get ready to be charged for everything, and prices are not displayed well so I didn't know was charged for some items. This review would have been higher otherwise. The food is meh. read more

This place is LEGIT! What an awesome spot on our tour to get a great meal! Many many ... many vegan options. Options ABOUND! All of the staff is super friendly. The amount of combinations you can do to make an excellent vegan meal... you'll be in heaven. Don't worry meat people, there are plenty of options for you too. Only suggestion... you should lose the styrofoam cups. Plenty of take away containers that are way more earth friendly... otherwise, you guys killed it with this one. read more

I've never been disappointed in Mountain Burrito until this takeout order. I've always been very impressed with the quality and quality of the food served. This is my naked burrito (photo). I honestly feel like this is half or less of what I've normally been served at MB. If I had not gotten this all the way home before realizing how meager the serving was I'd have complained. We got two of these and both were similar servings. For over $18 before tip we're still hungry and unhappy! read more
