Super nice workers, great food with lots of options. Flavorful meats and multiple salsas to choose from. Well done!

Not a fan of metal music or the death culture art. Food is really good. Staff lacks personality but does their job. Empty your outside trash behind your building. It looks awful to see it spilling out of receptacle. Forgot to get a picture. Iced tea was way too weak. Again main dishes and choices of toppings were awesome. Do u want to support darkness? Sad to see mothers bringing young children here exposing to darker energies. read more

This place is awful! The lettuce was wilted, the food was just not hot and the service was lacking. There are better places to eat and I would suggest you try them. read more

The only thing wrong with mountain burrito is that there is too many things to choose from to put on your burrito. And - they are all good. Make sure you get some Jalapeño slaw on there somewhere and you'll be in heaven. Oh and one person was right behind us and said he was really hungry. So they rolled up 2 tortillas to make a "snuffleupagus" burrito. That's prob off the menu. Anyway s, go there if you are traveling between Asheville and Charlotte. You won't regret it. read more

Good: Great Vegan and Vegetarian options, good portions, good salsas, reasonable prices. Not so good: The guac could use some more flavor. read more

Found this gem of a place at lunch while up this way for training. Steak with black beans, peppers, onions, lettuce, pico, and sour cream with chips and homemade guac. Have mercy! #localfood #mountainburrito #getinmybelly read more

See all

Loved the way they focused on their different hot sauces. Friendly service, good food, and a cool little place. It is also great that they are intentional about recycling. read more

Excellent as always! Really enjoy all the different options to create tacos, burritos, bowls or salads and can have something different every time! The fresh homemade sauces and salsa are the highlight, definitely a must try when in Morganton NC! read more

Passing through Morganton from Johnson City, TN to Charlotte, NC and found this gem on Yelp! It was so good! I had the Naked Burrito (no tortilla) with chicken. Hubby had naked burrito with steak and chicken. Son had steak burrito. ALL were delicious. Ingredients are fresh and sauces/salsa are made in house. We travel through here 6-7 times per year. We will be coming back!! read more

Dude, what is it about the mountains having good burrito places? We can't seem to get a decent burrito place in big ol' Charlotte? [vent] Anyway this little place is hard to spot from the road because of their pretty but subtle sign. The place has a couple picnic benches out front which were great to eat with our dogs al fresco. They have a small but inventive menu that has some cool sauces and salsas. The chicken was well cooked and well seasoned. Tacos were generous size and beans were well prepared. I was looking forward to trying the jalapeno slaw but it has cilantro in it (argh!!) but my meal was great nonetheless, perhaps in good part because of the homemade chips. Other people mentioned them but I was surprised to see that they were made from flour tortillas, not corn! So they were such a different treat and were gone rapidly. Would definitely return when in the area! read more

I am updating my review based on the recent changes to compostable cups! Thank you for listening and making a positive change.

Had to travel to Morganton to pick up some Guinea Pigs for my son. I did a search to find somewhere to eat due to our schedule. Saw a few reviews for this place, and really love Chipotles...so, gave it a shot. Worth every minute of the drive. Without a doubt, just as good as, if not BETTER than Chipotle's...and blows Moe's out of the water. We plan to go back here again when we drive to Charlotte in March....off the path, but so worth it. read more

Delicious food at great prices! Fresh and the guys behind the counter are super friendly and helpful. When I was in town for work I ate lunch there every time. I looked forward to it. read more

After a night of camping and a stop at Fonta Flora, Mountain Burrito was exactly what I needed. Lots of delicious foods all wrapped up in a delicious burrito. The guys working were super friendly (and stoked) that we stopped by and ordered food. I had a chicken burrito with roasted potatoes, lettuce, rice, salsa - I'm not too adventurous in the burrito topping department. Mike - who was the workers new favorite person - got half chorizo (that day's special) and pork. I wasn't super impressed with the chips - but honestly, once I got through the burrito, I didn't have any room. Great stop for some delicious foods in Morganton. read more

Really mediocre. Salsa is full of sugar. Blech!! There was a very strange flavor to the chicken. Not like cilantro... weird, definitely not Mexican spice. read more

Pretty good food especially for the price. Because of being short staffed place is only open four hours a day five days a week. If you have not been I highly recommend. read more

Doesn't look like much if just passing thru Morganton, but it's a wonderful locally owned venue that uses fresh ingredients worthy of a visit. Burritos, tacos, and local brews....and definitely try the salon roasted pork!! read more

White rice, bland and chewy steak, you can't see the toppings when trying to pick. Ordered a fun size and it was only half full, with the other half covered with chips. Super disappointed today. I don't remember it being like this a few years ago. read more

What a great find!! It's like Chipotle on crack. Another reason we are happy to call Morganton our new home town.

Without a doubt the best burrito I've ever eaten. And I eat a lot of burritos. We were at Fonta Flora tasting beers and needed dinner before we headed back to Charlotte, but it was late on a Sunday so I pulled up my trusty Yelp app to see what was closeby. A bunch of my friends on yelp had amazing things to say about Mountain Burrito so we went for it. Regular burritos in Charlotte now just don't cut it. There are a ton of options for toppings and if you like spicy this is totally your place - they have ghost pepper chili sauces. They have pre-designed burritos as well so if you want to venture from your generic chicken, salsa, sour cream, pico, gauc burrito but have no clue what combinations work best they have you covered. read more

A favorite! We make an hour drive here every week. Tasty and healthy at the same time.

Always delicious and fresh. A weekly staple in our dinner rotation. Love their unique specials they come up with.

Naked burrito bowl is amazing! Was visiting for business and ate there twice. Staff is also very nice!

Best burrito in Morganton! Friendly staff, fresh ingredients and conveniently located. We eat there often.

Something super fresh and homemade for everyone- vegans, vegetarians, carnivores- they have something delicious for all of us. My fav is their naked burritos with sweet potatoes and allll the pickled veggies and guacamole 5 stars all the way. read more

SO GOOD! Thanks Yelp! I would have passed by this place and not given it a second thought but read the reviews and had to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did. The ingredients tasted fresh and the portion was huge. You gotta try the jalapeño slaw and the pineapple habanero salsa! There's not a lot of seating inside but it's worth getting it to go. I will definitely be back. read more

One of the places I miss from back home. If you've ever been to a Moe's Southwest Grill, you'll find this layout of burrito assembly familiar. The ingredients however are local, fresh, and awesome. Great staff and price for the food. Sauce selection is also a great one. If you're swinging through town, i'd definitely recommend this place. read more

Unique, Creative and Fresh. It's a cant miss spot if you are a native or visiting Morganton. The legend is true.

Perfect stop off of the highway for a tasty burrito. Like a local version of Chipotle but much better. Lots of different hot sauces to choose from. We were here on a Sunday mid afternoon on the drive home from Asheville. I'll definitely be back on the next drive through. Prices and portions are great. read more

Best burritos and taco salads in the area bar none! Everything is always fresh and they work with local farmers for fresh ingredients. Prices and portions are fantastic. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about the specials and ingredients. Try to eat here once a week. Seriously, get a mountain burrito. read more

This is a really great place. The burritos we're outstanding so we must thank our friends that recommended it for certain. Every time we hike in west NC, we hit this place up for food on the way home. Lots of great choices for toppings, helpful staff for first timers, and yummy burritos. Tasty and healthy at the same time. My fav is their naked burritos with sweet potatoes and allll the pickled veggies and guacamole 5 stars all the way. read more

I can not explain my love for this place in words! From the staff to the hundreds of different ways you can get your order it is hands down my favorite place ever to eat!!! The jalapeño slaw... the pickled peppers... the salsa roja... the chips... the zucchini and squash... the corn and peppers... the pickled onions... I could go on- this place is a must try!!! read more

Me & my dad stopped by here for dinner on our way to a soccer tournament. The food was great! Everything tasted so fresh. Quick & efficient service. The workers were also very sweet! read more

Are you kidding me...? Place is absolutely AMAZING! Fresh quality food at a reasonable rate. I absolutely love all of the options that they have, even though I tend to get the same thing (it's just that good!). I also love that they have multiple beers (canned and bottled) with a few being locally brewed (Catawba Valley Brewery). Atmosphere of the place is wonderful as well. I always appreciated the place for the mood that they set (laid back mountain side mellow), and they do it very well. The owner Bryan is also a really great guy as well. Really cares about the quality of his ingredients, along with solid customer service. A solid grub spot that will hit the spot, Mountain Burrito is sure to satisfy the entire family. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Take cash for a tip. You cannot add it to your debit/credit card. Half portions are plenty even if you are starving read more

Was in the area after a day on the lake and was looking for something different to eat for dinner. I always love a good unique burrito place aside from your typical chain Mexican restaurants. These burritos are sooo good! I love how fast the service was, and how many topping options there were to choose from. Also, I like that there was both indoor and outdoor seating. Not giving 5 stars simply because one of the staff was particularly unfriendly that evening to myself and other customers. Overall a great place to go for a quick dinner. read more

Cool local spot. Grab a burrito and head over to Catawba Brewing! Lots of choices and the sauces/salsas are great too!

Excellent fresh food at a fair price!! Yummy thank you!! I had the naked chicken burrito with all the fixings, my bowl was full, full, full. Enough for lunch the next day!! read more

Product is kinda limited. But what they do have is incredible. The staff is always friendly and the quality is always very good for the money. read more

Great food, and a great bunch of people who work there. My daughter's car was hit in the parking lot as she was about to go in, and the manager let her have her order free of charge. What a kind gesture! A credit to our community! read more
