Big Fat Burrito

Worst burrito of life. I just got back (a block away, and I rode my bike) with a cold burrito, wrapped horizontally (so you get beans then rice then veggies with a touch of cheese at the bottom but never anything together) that is cold and dry. Asked for refried beans, got the other beans. Got giant chunks of unripe tomatoes. No sour cream or burrito sauce even though I asked for both and it’s utterly flavourless. I can see the guacamole but it tastes like nothing. So little cheese it’s insulting.
Leaving work super late and just needed to eat something and this is so gross I’m eating raw carrots from my fridge instead of the tasty burrito I was hoping for.
On top of that, two staff members were in the shop when I walked in, no customers. A guy took my order, than two orders behind me and the other girl just walked to the back while he took my order. So I waited for ages while he took everyone’s orders and then started making burrito’s solo. Lame.

An insult to burritos anywhere. Ordered by phone for pick up and none of the specifics of the order were fulfilled. Even with the wrong order, (black instead of pinto, no veggies when specifically asked for extra veggies, white instead of whole wheat, the spice levels for all orders were wrong) the burrito wasn’t wrapped properly, the meat lacked any spice or flavour. Never again!

Love it! You can customize your burrito and they have a lot of really great options!!! THe burritos are warm, but not soggy, and the ingredients taste and feel fresh! The service here is amazing and the staff are always happy to give us advice on whats good and whats something we might like to try. =) Definitely a big thumbs up!
And the seating is ample with great lighting, and the bathroom has always been clean on ever visit. They also have a great drinks variety in their refrigerator if you’re not into pop/​ice tea.
Always friendly, always good. =) Even on those rainy days!

I’ve eaten at Big Fat Burrito several times over the years, but last nights large veggie burrito was the last straw, never again. I’ve had yam, chicken, and pulled pork too. It’s not that there was too much sauce, it’s not that it was too small, it’s not even that there was some unacceptable ingredients imbalance: it was just not as delicious as a Burrito can be. It’s a fools errand to sit down on Unilocal and try to diagnose the problem, burritos are complex, and I am not qualified to know how they should fix it. Just save yourself the trouble and get Burrito Bandidos down the street (which aren’t perfect either).

Big fat burrito is my fave burrito place in Toronto but this one wasn’t as good as I’ve had at other locations! Too much rice :(. Maybe it was just the day though. I’ll still be going back.

Obviously came here at like 2.30AM after Clinton’s. It was pretty busy, the service is fast and the burrito was fresh. There was way too much bean in my chicken burrito for my liking, I already have trouble coming to terms with the fact that a burrito is essentially carbs inside carbs…
Pretty average, I got mild and it wasn’t spicy at all for me so definitely will go for half and half next time!
Very small place but looks clean and the servers were nice… even though I was slurring. Sorry «chicken» probably sounded like «sheeekaaahhh»

I really wanted to love this place. Really. I tried. I asked if the steak or chicken was better — was told by the cashier that they do not eat meat. Fantastic. I went with the chicken — it was okay, but the burrito itself was not good at all. It was like eating chicken wrapped in dough. It was barely grilled. And I asked for hot sauce but no jalapenos, thinking both would be too hot — I really hope they forgot the hot sauce because that was super bland. I doubt I’ll ever be back. Unless I’m really high and that’s my only option. Bottom line: I’ve had better. It’s not worth my burrito calorie allotment.

I love their burrito’s. I actually go to this one when I’m in the area and prefer it over their Kensington Market location. The guy’s that work here are so much more chill and friendly. They always stuff my burrito with a ton of meat. The only semi-​bad experience I’ve had here was when they gave me a number 4 hotsauce instead of number 3 but it was all good. They gave me a free drink, and I really didn’t care. I ended up liking it actually.

It’s a fine place for a fast bite. Employees give off the too cool for school vibe but are nice and friendly. It must come naturally after dealing with hordes of drunk people who let out from the clubs and bars.
If you want a burrito and you’re close by stop by. Don’t go out of your way (especially since they have other locations). Price point is decent.

So I asked them for a veggie burger and they didn’t even flinch. As well as being accustomed to all types of customers in various altered states, they make a mean burrito. Likeaphenomena and I split a large. While you’re there pick up a Boylan’s Rootbeer, the perfect mix of spice and creaminess.

After my visit to the burroto boyz, I had to check if I’d forgotten burritos were bland. Big Fat Burrito is a reassuring reminder this is not the case. Burritos can be flavourful. And I’ve been to three different BFB locations that all featured friendly staff, good food and no nauseous after effects (like some boyz do).
The selection of toppings is thorough, several options for upping the spicy level, an exceptionally good veggie option (sweet potato) to go along with the usual burrito choices and some interesting soft drink options in the fridge. This location could use some more seating space but its perfect for grabbing something satisfying on the way home.

BFB is definitely worth the price of admission. Grab the fully loaded pulled pork and experience the ultimate in Swine decadence. The burritos are MASSIVE and they can quite literally feed the average carnivore for two meals. If you are extra hungry you will inevitably gnaw through it in one go, but don’t plan on operating any heavy machinery.
BFB is conveniently located within stumbling distance of several Annex hot spots and is almost unparallelled when it comes to late night eating debauchery.

Needed a quick bite before going to Hot Docs Cinema.
Yum! Had a veggie burrito Level 4 spicy. WOW. They take their spice seriously. The burrito was good. So good I came back the next night. Would definitely try the Yam if I am ever back here!

I’m a big burrito fan and always like to try different places. I have been meaning to try Big Fat Burrito for awhile now. I stopped by last night and tried the small steak burrito. I had everything on it except jalapenos, hot sauce and guacamole. The burrito was the perfect size, but a bit pricey. I was not impressed with the taste of the burrito at all. It was quite bland and the steak was pretty dry. The staff seemed like they were trying to rush everyone out of there, which is probably why the burrito wasn’t pressed enough, leaving it kind of soggy. That was my first and last experience at Big Fat Burrito.

A few nights ago, I decided to check out the places app on my phone and stumbled upon bfb! I love burritos and thought let’s give it a chance! The staff was so friendly and the burritos delicious. I got the #1 sauce but I’d recommend a different number sauce for others who want a really spicy burrito„ mine wasn’t too hot at all, but still good. I got the small and was stuffed! I loved how all the veggies in my burrito were in huge chunks, crunchy and fresh! One thing about them though, kinda hard to find! Although the building is painted in this wacky mural, there is one little sign that says big fat burrito on it! So just look for the crazy building face with crazy colors! Overall great and can’t wait to go back again!

Fresh, quick and decently priced. Big Fat Burrito has come to be one of my favourites in the city. I love the Yam Burrito so much I never deviate and still have yet to try their other ones or tacos.
Open late, this location is a godsend when you’re in the mood for after gig food that isn’t gross. The crowd of boozy folk can be a deterrent at times, but staff are fantastic and handle them well.
There are a couple of seats by the window at this location, but it’s generally a take out joint. I like that their small is pretty substantial yet you’re still able to walk home while eating it without it going everywhere. All in all, burrito yay!

Large pulled pork after a night of drinking is a very good thing. Unfortunately I tried the same burrito sober and it was average.
I do like the customizable options that the store offers, as well as a variety of hot sauce options that are pretty good. Sauce 2 and 4 are both stellar.
The staff are friendly and laid back, especially when dealing with the crowd of young people strolling in from lee’s palace next door.
Good place for a quick bite and a large is more than enough to satisfy even large appetites.

My opinion of the food at this location goes along with my review of the Kensington Market location. I just wanted to make a special note about the staff at this takeaway-​only BFB. I’ve dropped in here late night to grab a post-​drink burrito and each one of the staff there is on fire, dealing with the multitude of drunken orders with grace and ease. It’s a small place, and gets crowded with college kids full of too much beer, yet BFB still do okay.
Thanks for the late night snack and the smiles guys!
[Side note: I know it’s awesome that the Annex now has a BFB, but I do look at it wistfully and wish it had some seating like the market location. Ah well!]

This place simply rules. For me, the three greatest burritos in town are the large pulled pork at BIG FAT BURRITO, in a very close second, the large halibut at BURRITO BOYS/​BURRITO BANDITOS and the grilled shrimp at UTOPIA.
If there’s any others in their league, I wanna know about them!

Kensington Market burrito institution Big Fat Burrito recently opened a new outpost out front of Lee’s Palace. It’s an absolutely brilliant location that will, I’m sure, bring in tons of business for Big Fat Burrito and it has also improved the look of Lee’s Palace. Personally, I wish this was a Burrito Boyz/​Bandidos, but I settle for any decent burrito place to break up the monotony of sushi and falafel places on Bloor.
The space is small and it’s more of a takeout joint, although they do have a counter with 3 seats. Prices are high, but on par with other burrito places in the city.
I had the large Yam Burrito ($ 8.50), which was a decent size and left me full but not stuffed. The yam is a really nice touch and, I believe, unique to Big Fat Burrito. The other toppings are all decent, but I feel the burritos are a little bland. They just don’t have the same great flavour as Burrito Boyz.
I’d like to see an improvement in rolling technique because my burrito started leaking half way through. Also, I asked for my burrito spicy and didn’t taste any heat at all.
A great addition of an above average burrito joint to Bloor. I’d like to see Big Fat Burrito up their game a little, though, and really break out of the pack of average burritos purveyors.
