Good: Large portion burrito Friendly service Decently priced Bad: Burrito too saucy, falls apart while eating it Taco soup too salty and pricey for what it is read more

Not impressed! Ordered a grilled chicken burrito bowl. Chicken was chewy and crunchy and very little of it. Guac was extra fair but so was cheese. Then it's counter service & tip option starts at 15%. overall... Not impressed read more

I had chicken burrito in bowl. Chicken was over cooked and some edges were really hard like meat in microwave oven. I expected it will be very dry texture but found very fatty flavor left in my mouth later. Like I just had a slice of duck. Still don't know where it came from. We could choose Mexican rice or brown rice. Because of my diet, I chose brown one but next time I'd like to try Mexican rice. read more

I got the signature red burrito, with prawns, black bean, guacamole, green salsa. It was amazing! The prawns were like Lil lobster bites, so tender and delicious. Awesome read more

Quick friendly service. Spicy chicken burrito tasted great; veg and guacamole tasted fresh. Clean prep surfaces, tables and washrooms. Would definitely go back read more

-Decently Priced Burrito for Decent Amount of Food- I have come here infrequently for many times. The burrito is filled with lots of rice, beans, protein, veggies and sauce. Today in particular, I went with a spicy beef burrito. They have shrimp but they ran out or something today. The beef is tender and has a little spicy kick to it. The salsa and cilantro give the burrito more layers overall. I think they missed the lime on mine or it needed a bit more. It's not the best burrito I've ever had. It's just kinda in the middle of the road and good enough that I'm a repeat customer. It will definitely curb any sudden burrito fix you might have. As someone else has stated in their review, it is maybe a tad too liqudy and saucy. I wonder if the lettuce, salsa and hot sauce could be better curbed so that it doesn't make a mess when you eat it. But hey, if you like the idea that a burrito can splash back, then yea...then this is your jam. read more

Great food and better service. always friendly. would come back everyday for the chicken and pork

These 'ritos ain't bad. Very juicy, tender proteins. Lots of juice. Maybe a bit too much juice, cuz it ends up a little too sloppy and messy. I had a surprise sploosh of sauce all over my puffy jacket due to a leak in the tinfoil. All the toppings are rather normal. I think the burritos need a bit more zip. I'd love more hot sauce options, or a peppery sour cream, or a more flavourful cheese, or something. read more

I had Mexican Rice last weekend for lunch it was not line up place was clean and organized. I got my food on time . Great & fresh food the employee good about customer services I don't have complain about the food . There are two small notice it's about parking you have make sure to find a parking lot then get your food ( not in front the store ) also they don't accept credit card I suggest to the owner to make it easier for customers about the payment. At the end I will recommend anyone who want to have nice Mexican food on commercial at decent price go to RED BURITO . cheers read more

My go to burrito place. They make huge burritos and make a great vegan one. I absolutely love their tortilla chips and salsa. Easy fast and pretty cheap. read more

Quick service and reasonable prices. I thoroughly enjoyed my tamale which was stuffed full of beef. I didn't care much for the Mexican rice which was bland. Oh well. read more

Red Burrito - a bowl of blueberries and a fork - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Ordered from Doordash from this establishment, and Red Burrito messed up my order so bad.. spent 50 dollars on 4 meals and got like 20 dollars worth of food.. ordered tacos and got beans & rice in a bowl.. shitty enchilada for my wife and soup for a employee.. don't know what kind of soup.. not what I ordered .. my burrito bowl looks like a salad.. on top of that the delivery guy got lost and called me 4 times for directions.. WTF.. very disappointed at this restaurant.. tried calling about half a dozen time and no answer.. shitty customer services..never will I order from them again.. shitty food , over price food scraps and shitty customer service. Screw you Red burrito. You don't deserve a star read more

Red Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Tough yelpers, probably the best value eatery along the Drive, without any being pretentious. Think this is the original location. For under $8, you can get big, fat serving chicken burrito, probably not as hip as Chiptotle but got a few more bucks in your pocket too. typical add your own toppings. I take this over Subway any day. Great corner location at this crazy intersection right on Commercial/1st. Still think their Davie and Robson has more ambience. Good bar seating at front for window action walking by ;) Extra star b/c they delivery/cater. typical dreaded parking here but there's a side street by Waves Coffee that has 1 hour free. read more

Red Burrito - the best of the city award - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I gave this 3 stars because, girl, it is what it is. I mean, you can't go to this place expecting to find fine dining. What I do get out of this place is - FULL. It's inexpensive, filling and fast. Sure, my burrito could have had more zip to it but to be honest, it's tough to complain for the sheer size of the food you get. I'm telling you that burrito was the size of my head. A bit of an exaggeration but you get my point. It's not bad. If you want Mexican food on the Drive or actually anywhere in the city, walk a little further down the block. Sit down and have a meal at Tio Pepe's - now that's 5 stars! read more

Always busy, this food on the go Mexican restaurant serves huge foil wrapped burritos and fajitas that look like enormous bullets to be shot down your throat with as much cilantro as you want. The food is made in front of the customer, so eaters can line up against the sneeze guard and specify their preference of toppings and degree of spiciness. Servings are hard to finish, in that they are so large you may want to pay the extra 50 cents for another tortilla to wrap around the first tortilla. read more

Red Burrito - three tacos in baskets on a table - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Well it happened. After years going to Red Burrito the quality has undertaken a deep dive. I thought my visit a couple months ago was an anomaly but tonight it was just as bad. Grilled chicken burrito. All ingredients fine except for the most important one. Grilled chicken mostly gristle and chewy fat. Had to throw out half way through or I was going to throw up. Time to find a new burrito place. I'm heart broken read more

If you like large portions and decent prices. This is the place for you. I really enjoy the spicy chicken in a whole wheat wrap. The ingredients are fresh and the different sauces are all good. read more

Went here this afternoon with my bf for a quick bite after my hair appointment. We both asked for a chicken bowl/burrito and asked for veggies. We paid and I noticed they didnt put chicken in our food. We said it must have been miscommunocation but the guy insisted we never asked for chicken, that we wanted vegetarian... My bf kindly offered to pay the difference. After they made a fuss, we got our chicken but then they asked my bf to pay an extra $12.00 since apparently we asked for onions.....I can go to superstore and pay $2 for an entire bag of onions. My bf said no and they settled on $5 which is still a complete rip off given the chicken burrito is only $.15 cents extra from the veggie burrito... Chicken was also over cooked and extremely salty and some pieces were really hard. We understand any language barriers or miscommunocation, but this is how you drive customers away. Safe to say I'm never coming here again. read more

I really wish I could give this place more than five stars. I stopped in here before heading off to some bars along the drive a few days ago. Full disclosure: I was riding high on mdma when I went there and I'm not feeling too bad myself right now. ;) I got the beef burrito and it was amazing. The guacamole is incredible, I don't know what they put in that stuff, but it might be some of the best I've ever had. Everything was packed with flavour, even the limes tasted amazing. I think they might be locally sourced. It was a big burrito too! The water was nice and cold, but not so cold that it would freeze your gums if you drank a lot of it. I know that's a small detail but what makes or breaks a restaurant is the small details. The service was great as far as order at the till restaurants go, the guy working there was smiling as much as I was! Especially after I told him how amazing a burrito maker he was. Definitely going to hit this place up again! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone else on mdma, see you there! read more

Unfortunately, I was food poisoned here. I had dined here at least 50 times prior, and always had an enjoyable burrito, but the time I decided to bring the rest of my co-workers down, 7 of us were poisoned by what we believe to be the chicken. After a rough 24hr ride, I will not be going back again. The manager was not sympathetic, but he unwillingly returned our money. There was no apology what-so-ever. I wonder how many customers were sick that day? read more

WORST BURRITO EVER!!! I have to say that I have spent extended periods of time in california and had some of the BEST Mexican food around...This place..IS NOT!! The Super Burrito I ordered was very soggy, flavorless and just not good! Stay away if you value your taste buds. read more

I just can't bring myself to give Red Burrito 3 stars 'cause really "I've experienced better" is accurate. Admittedly I am slightly biased after living in The Mission District of San Francisco for 6 months this past year (you have not experienced a true burrito until you visit The Mission for one). So, maybe it deserves 3 stars for being a half decent burrito place in Vancouver? I'm torn. I had the vegetarian "Red Burrito" with rice, black beans, guacamole, all the veggies EXCEPT corn, and salsa verde. It was fine. No bad flavours, but it was lacking a certain no lo sé. If a little bottle of Tapatio were available to me for this meal I might not have hesitated to give Red Burrito the 3rd star. Some table top hot sauce would have made me Jarabe Tapatio a little inside! (Google it!) I will tell you that my tortilla was stuffed so full that the guy making it could barely close the thing, and there was no way I was going to get the entire thing into my belly. I couldn't eat another bite after I hit the 3/4 mark. read more

I think it was Janis Joplin that said "You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world, babe." And hoo nelly, Red Burrito does one thing well: you guessed it, they make a killer burrito. No mexi fries (which I'm pretty sure aren't a real thing in Mexico), quesadillas, tacos, enchiladas, empanadas, nachos or whatever. Just burritos. All ingredients are fresh and hearty, the guacamole is home-made (extra $1.25 by the way) and the chicken and beef is on the roaster-spinning-thing (that's the official technical term by the way). They never skimp on the fillings which is great too; if anything they put in too much. On several occasions I've struggled to finish my over-filled burrito-beast. And get this: the folks her serve you are actually Mexican! Or perhaps they're ringers from Nicaragua. Man that's fun to say ... Nicarrrrragua. Review over. read more

This is as probably as good as it gets for burritos outside of California. I had my first burrito in the Mission district in San Francisco and nothing can compare to burritos there. However, Red Burrito comes close. The tortillas are fresh as are the ingredients. They've got several hot sauces to choose from also. If you've never had a burrito in Mission in San Francisco, then you probably don't know, but eat here and it's very similar. It's pretty authentic here. Nothing in Canada or the Eastern USA is as satisfying. read more

I can't say that this was a very delicious or memorable experience. Yeah, I can definitely agree that you will be full when you walk out the door. The food is ok, it could taste more like Mexican food...but we are in Vancouver and there isn't much competition. So I will consider it what it mostly is, a fast food restaurant. The service is kind of weird...we walked in the door and they looked at us like they were in the 'twilight zone'....maybe they were just having an off day. As for the speed....very quick. You can be in and out in no time. I figure we will be back if we are in a hurry and in need of carne asada and rice in a tortilla! read more

Sorry.... NOT FOR ME!! Had a veggie burrito the other day. Tasteless and very soggy, which me thinks is due to the slop of wet dripping black beans they threw on the burrito. Could not believe they had no RE-FRIED beans! When asked, was told quite curtly by a woman that they were a true Mexican eatery. (confabbed with my Mexican friend later and he didn't quite understand that one as he lived in Mexico for 32 years and re-fried beans were everywhere!) Also had an order of chips and salsa. I have bought better chips in a bag at the grocery store. Salsa was VERY watery. No spice/herb flavor at all. Not impressed at all. The meal was very pricey for burrito and chips. I was expecting pazazzzz...eureka...I found a great Mexican place on the Drive. ...sadly..... NOT. The burrito's ( & refried beans!!) are much much better at Taco del Mar! (..and that is not saying much...). .............next read more

Overall a pretty bland and tasteless burrito that is essentially only the mere sum of it's parts. You'll taste the lettuce, the chicken, the salsa, the rice and the beans (not the cheese though... That costs even more on top of their absurd prices). Shout out to them for accepting US cash though. Would not recommend. read more

Nothing wrong with the Red Burrito - a big, wrapped-up heap of meat, rice and veg, your choice of sauce ... what more do you need? They load you up with coriander, and the onion is oh so very peppery (because too-much pepper means just-enough pepper). read more

Nothing terribly exciting about this place. Meat is under-seasoned but the rest of the food is ok. Pricing is pretty typical for a burrito, but if I'm paying $9 at Red Burrito when I can get a tastier burrito somewhere else at the same price, I'm heading elsewhere. read more

First of all, let me explain why I'm only giving this place 3 stars. I lived in San Diego for a while and have probably tasted some of the best burritos on the planet. Therefore, it's really hard to find anything that compares. That being said, The Red Burrito was pretty good for a Canadian joint. I ordered the red burrito with Baja shrimp. They were a little skimpy on the shrimp, 6 to be exact. Should have opted for the chicken as you get much more. I wonder if they used Canadian shrimp would I get more since they must have to import these shrimp from Baja? LOL I got it loaded up with guacamole, sour cream and everything else. Not sure I'd get corn on it again because that's not how they make burritos in San Diego. The flavor was good overall but just lacking in something special to make it really pop. If you're looking for a solid burrito with nice flavor, give the Red Burrito a try. read more

I'd liken this place to the Mexican equivalent of Subway. You go in, choose what type of burrito you'd like, then choose what other stuff you'd like thrown into it. The usual suspects are all there: beans, rice, sour cream, guacamole, cheese and salsa. Unfortunately, just like Subway, you're not getting a quality product, you are getting something fresh that has been thrown together quickly. It's fast food, so has all the pros and cons of any other fast food place. The major con being that the burrito, while fresh, is still pretty bland, and likewise the atmosphere is the same. People are there to get a quick meal and keep hunger at bay, not to have a dining experience. Red Burrito does its job amicably - if you're wanting a fresh burrito in a matter of minutes, you could probably do a lot worse. But if you're wanting some good food, you could definitely do a lot better. read more

3.5 Good burritos - medium on the flavour, large on the size. Certainly would not call it "authentic" Mexican food. But it's A-ok and I'd go again. Kind of wish there were more veggies/spice/sauce. read more

Its a cute little place that can get quite crowded. I've been there to witness a lineup and that was not as smooth sailing as it should have been. There was one girl making it, when there should have been 2, 3 including the girl at the till, but you could tell that as people lined up, she was getting more and more flustered and concerned with the line. The price isn't too bad for what you get, but sometimes the meat can be a bit oily after stewing in that hot meaty bath for a while. Its always delicious and warm, so I can't see why not. :) read more

Man, this place has undergone some harsh criticism. My husband is from Northern California, and yes, the Mexican food that you can get down there is downright amazing. HOWEVER, being in Vancouver we all have to suck it up and accept the fact that we're not going to find the same quality of cheap, homemade Mexican food. Around these parts, we trade the cheap, good, plentiful Mexican food for cheap, good, plentiful sushi. Not a bad trade-off if you ask me. That all being said, is the food at Red Burrito delicious? Yes. Are the ingredients fresh? Yes. Are the salsas flavourful and tasty? Yes. I was here the other night, and I ordered a pork burrito. I was really impressed by the food, and the meat definitely had some heat to it (big bonus points for me). The salsas were delish, and the guacamole was very tasty as well. As far as "fast food" goes, this is a great choice, and I'll gladly order food from here again. It's good food, folks! read more

The best thing about this place is that you don't have to get your burrito as a wrap - you can get any burrito on the menu as a "burrito in a bowl"; and this makes this place gluten friendly as well (just make sure you check on the sauces to be gluten friendly as well before you order!). On the corner of 1st and Commercial, Red Burrito has a line at any given point of the day... but don't dispair because the lines move fast. It's best to pay with cash here, because they charge you an extra service fee if you want to use debit. read more

Ok Burrito! Tried it out on the recommendation of others, even the guy on the street. I would say the burritos are average. The spicy beef is good. The Chicken looked a bit dry. Don't know why they don't take credit cards, but they don't. The spicy salsa is well real spicy. The guacamole can be skipped, so can the chips. The tomato tortilla is good. Quick bite for those who are in a hurry. read more

Great place. I've been stopping by here for years when in the neighborhood. Food and quality has always been consistent. Not a huge menu but the beef burrito is my favorite. Get it loaded up with rice, beans, onions, etc and you get a huge burrito, excellent value for the money compared to other places. Great lunch to grab on the go. Staff rotates but always quite friendly. My only gripes are hot sauce selection could be better and larger menu, but then again, best to stick to what works and what you do best. read more
