Fat Bastard Burrito

Excellent taste, generous proportion, free chips and salsa = awesome experience. The small size is actually good enough if you’re looking for a quick bite and a lighter lunch. They have both noodles and rice as stuffing for the burrito which is a pleasant change. I took the bean and cheese burrito with noodles and all toppings and asked them to make it spicy. The burrito was yummy and the spice level on the spot — when you say it is spicy and not fake spicy. I have also tried the Yam burrito. It is yummy too. Although I felt the yam pieces were a little too big for my liking although I liked the taste of sweet, spicy and cheesy together. Highly recommend this place.

I have been to other Fat Bastard Burritos locations that were very good. I recommend this to a friend and I was embarrassed since the service was so bad! The cashier was rude, they were very stingy with the ingredients compared to my experiences at other locations such as the Queensway location and Woodbridge location. The tables were also dirty and they really should work on training their staff to be friendly with the customers.

You’re better off at Burrito Boyz. They’re extremely stingy, and one employee who I see there often is very rude and put off-​ish.
Honestly, almost $ 10 here for a burrito with stingy amounts of everything, or I can spend $ 5 at Burrito Boyz for double the amount of what they give me here.
Nah.

I ordered the baked chicken burrito and it fell apart the second I got home. I live around the corner, one minute walk. If we had eaten in the resto it would’ve been an embarrassing mess. Flavors were average, seemed to skimp on the chicken.
2 stars instead of one because the employees were super nice. I really wanted to like this place cause it’s so close but I’ll stick with Burrito Bandidos.
Sidenote: I was thrown off by the option to put noodles in a burrito, cause. why? I didn’t get noodles in my burrito so this did not affect my rating in any way, just a thought.

They’re fine. Not great, but they have only made me sad I ate there once, when I foolishly ordered «pulled pork» thinking they were trying to translate carnitas. They were not. It was like southern barbecue pulled pork, the burrito was awful, and I wanted to sob my way back to California.
If you aren’t from California, I’m sure the selection of meats and toppings is pleasing. If you grew up eating Mission Burritos IN the Mission, don’t go here. The basic chicken is fine but not really anything like back home; I think it is literally JUST baked chicken, not seasoned. I don’t know why I have to wait for my burrito to be grilled in this city, but apparently it’s necessary. I have gone here because they were close to work and had a moderately less racist logo than other nearby options. I don’t think I’m giving them a third chance.
Service: average. Nothing amazing but no complaints.
Food: average. Nothing amazing. Not authentic, but it doesn’t taste BAD if you know what you’re ordering. The refried beans are actually decent.
Price: average. No more than other burrito options in this city. The Big burrito (= small burrito from El Faro/​El Farolito in SF) is fairly filling, but you won’t go into a food coma or anything.

I ordered the naked roasted chicken burrito plate with all the fixings for lunch on the recommendation of a coworker. The chicken lacked flavour and the meal was not hot. Overall the food is tasteless. I would not return.

I recently ordered a butter chicken burrito at this location with everything except jalapenos, and it was the most bizarre burrito I’ve ever had. Normally, butter chicken is sweet, but in this case the butter chicken combined with the sour cream and the hot sauce created a strange combination of sour and spicy so unappetizing I felt nauseous.
Service was good though, I called ahead to pre-​order and picked up the burrito with no hassle. However, the taste of the burrito itself seemed like the result of a gimmicky filling executed badly and combined with far too many ingredients. Maybe I shouldn’t have ordered sour cream and hot sauce to go with my burrito, but seeing as how they’re essential to any burrito, I believe the fault lies with Fat Bastard for not thoroughly vetting their burrito fillings.

Fat bastard has a solid burrito. Make sure to get the hot sauce which is super spicy. I usually get 8 drops and that’s pretty hot. The only reason I’m not giving it a better rating is because it’s not the best burrito place on Yonge. I much prefer the more famous burrito place down the street. Fat bastard is definitely worth a try. The restaurant is small and not a place you would want to eat at unless you’re in a hurry.

I like things really hot, but this melted my face to the point of tears and numbness. I ordered the Lime-​Tequila Chicken with shrimp and only got two pieces of shrimp. I didn’t get even half of what I asked to be in the burrito and the rice and chicken were disgustingly dry. That was probably the worst burrito I have ever had and I’m sincerely disappointed someone would serve that to another human. It’s feels as though the cook checked out and decided to take me with him. HORRIBLE.

Had the naked steak burrito for lunch. I’ll give them the 5 stars since it was as consistent as the great one I had at the Victoria Park location.
Satisfied!

Fat bastard is a great name for this place because that’s what you will become once you try it. The tequila lime chicken is amazing, but so is the fish, beef and literally everything on the menu. Don’t forget to add crunchies which elevate the experience. Staff is always friendly as well. Truly five star.

I will have to give this place pretty good marks for effort and for quality of the food.
The apparance of the store is inviting, trendy, yet low key. The servers were polite and busy… They appeared to be working hard. The qualty of the food ingredients is generally fresh and of good quality. The form of burrito is unpretentious, however its size was generous and it was very tasty.
The only issue I might raise with the store is that there is not a lot of space to hard around and eat. This is ok if you just want to take it out.
At the prices they charge, Fat Bastard is good value for the money.

Tasty, fair prices, good portions, good service.
It’s quite small in there though so take note if you want to eat in during a busy time you might find yourself without a seat.

This establishment seems to be plagued by Unilocal trolls with insurmountable appetites and small budgets who think this is the venue for complaining about logos.
Now it’s not every day that you come across $ 9.43 so you must spend it wisely. I selected the big pulled pork burrito with everything on it. And it is huge… I’m still working my way through it. It is also delicious — noodles and all. Had I wanted more toppings so that I don’t have to eat again for 3 days, the ladies working efficiently behind the counter were more than obliging.
So well done FBB, despite what your deranged critics say. You make good food and I am happy to pay you money for it.

I love the naked burrito option! Also the hot sauce is crazy hot so get dots before lines.

This is an overpriced sham next to other burrito chains I visit. Not only does it cost more, with fewer options/​varieties (except the noodles, which is random but yummy), and terrible tasting rubbery tiny shrimp, but the logo is incredibly racist and offensive! That alone brought my rating from 3* to 0.
Sauteed veggies option means sauteed green peppers.
Nothing special, not worth the money.

Update –
I’m quite disappointed in the toppings lately. My once huge l’il burrito is now very small in comparison to what they once were to when they first opened.
Disappointed.

My second experience as just as good as the first! great burritos!!!

After a year of waiting between when the «coming soon» sign went up and the actual door opened, I went in and bought two «huge» sized burritos — one Baked Yam, one Sauteed Shrimp.
I’ll edit this review when I have some more spare time but I’ll at least say that the burritos had a totally unique flavour, as well as unique topping options (coleslaw, noodles, and broken tortilla chips among a few). Definitely delicious, chock full of stuff and worth checking out. Prices range from the «lil» ($ ⁷⁄₈) the «big» ($ ⁸⁄₉) and the «huge» ($ 10.50÷11.50). I’m not sure yet what the best value is — the huges certainly left us with delicious breakfasts tomorrow.

This place has had an opening soon sign for like a year. I saw it opened today and had to jump on it. I got a small chicken burrito. It was gigantic. Like I thought the competitors had huge portions. I won’t need to eat for a week. I love their burrito sauce, too. Seems a bit more flavorful than others I’ve had. The only down side is that I said no green peppers and I ended up getting green peppers. Despite hating green peppers it was still awesome food. It’ll be added to the lunch rotation.
