360 Degree Gourmet Burrito

They closed a while ago. Good riddance as their burritos were crap.

The reason they make it is they’re the cheapest food around and its OK food, I wouldn’t go if it were any where else!

6:00 am flight out of oakland airport. no time for breakfast at home or on the way there. cheap-​ass airlines don’t serve meals anymore on shorter domestic routes. figured i was ass-​out. figured wrong. it was 5:30 am and 360 was gloriously open. the burrito itself was nothing extraordinary, but as far as airport food goes and considering the ungodly hour of the morning, i was giddy when wakako u. found this place for me and i proceeded to devour my bacon breakfast burrito with glee. thanks, 360!

Screw the red-​headed stepchild metaphor. Oakland is San Francisco’s step-​cousin, the one that «borrows» your iPod and then you find it missing the next day and when questioned about it, Oakland pins the blame on your forgetfulness and your little sister’s (who would be, uh, Alameda?) tendency to mimic all your actions. I’m sure a few places about the city shine. The airport is not one of those points.
So when faced with a two and half hour wait for a flight, I found myself extremely grateful that I had remembered to download a couple hour and a half long NPR podcasts. But eventually, I became hungry. And I just couldn’t bear the thought of parking the carry-on’s and me in the Oakland airport Chili’s and paying $ 12 for a Mexican plate. No Pam, there is no God to be felt in that Chili’s. But right across the walkway, I spied a place that sold burritos for half the price that Chili’s was asking. I ordered a veggie burrito that included daikon, beans, and a ton of rice. Pretty good. Not enough of a reason to miss one’s flight again, but at least it wasn’t Chili’s. Also, my real-​life cousin would never steal my iPod, which would add insult to injury on my Oakland sojourn.

So they finally got rid of the pre-​packaged and microwave food restaurant/​bar and has some real food! While JetBlue ridiculously charges people for $ 1 headphones and $ 7 blanket, the connecting airports have definitely dramatically improved.
I had the steak quesadillas that was pretty decent. $ 10 was not cheap but it’s at the airport. It also has a substantial selection of Naked drinks, a big plus!

I’ve had better luck at the 360 in Alameda. I had a breakfast burrito at the Oakland Airport location and was very disappointed. It was a runny, sloppy mess. And I paid airport pricing for it, to boot!

You know this place is pretty good! Me and my boss stopped here on our way out of town and got breakfast tostadas (its basically just a quesidilla) and they were pretty tasty!!! Their hot salsa (the green stuff) is pretty good. Definatley worth stopping by for a good breakfast burrito or tostada.

Not bad for a pre-​flight burrito. The lime was a welcome change, but their summer burrito with vegetables and garlic is a little too garlicky. And the last thing you want before a plane flight is too much garlic. The normally dependable 360 did a number on me this time. I do have to say, though, that a burrito is good red-​eye-​flight food. Knocks you right out. The sleepy guy with bad breath on USAIR from OAK to LAS, then LAS to PHL with 2 hours spent on the hot tarmac? Yours truly.
Still, as airport food goes, not a bad choice.

One of the better airport burritos out there. I usually get the veggie (it has black beans). Big size, so I save half for my flight. Comes with chips and salsa. The line moves quick, but seating comes and goes.

for airport food it was pretty good and that’s where my bench mark is, this was damn good airport food for the price. it was 7pm on dec 23^rd and the airport was pretty empty somehow so i got my food with a quickness.
the burrito was hot and tasted fresh, nice and hefty too. definitely a good value for the oakland airport.

I didn’t think this place was all that bad for airport food! But, I didn’t order a burrito. I tried to be healthier since I always eat bad food when traveling (i.e., McDonald’s in the airport) and ordered a thai chicken salad. The thai sauce was flavorful and a little spicy.
The only gripe was that they were super slow and made subsequent orders before mine!

Not great but not bad. Nice to have this option if you’re hungry at the airport and there’s a quick and dirty place for breakfast burritos or regular burritos. No regular burritos available before end of breakfast time. Breakfast burrito ($ 3.99) was alright and hit the spot.
Bottom line: Rather pricey, but decent option to have in Terminal 1 along with pizza from Round Table.

I usually stop here before my flight out of OAK to grab a bite. The burritos are nothing to write home about, but c’mon, what do you expect? It is a captive audience and it is either this place or Pizza. This 360 is in Terminal 1 (the older one) at OAK, just past Gate 7 on the right.
It is usually pretty crowded. The service people do look tired and nihilistic. Do not expect to get a breakfast burrito after 10:30…it is like McDonald’s, they won’t let you do it! I go for the Chicken Burrito. The best thing about this little burrito stand is that they do have a pretty good bottled juice selection. I go for the Carrot Juice, so I can see better out of the Airplane window!
There are table and chairs next to it, so grab a burrito, check your emails, and then when your finished, their calling you at the gate.

Their breakfast burrito ($ 6) was decent.

So your at the airport at 6 in the morning waiting to take a flight to Vegas to celebrate your birthday but shi, you forgot to eat a little something-​something before heading out to Oakie Dokie and now your hungers kicken in?
What do you do?
It’s not like Oakland airport has a good or any real selection of eateries at this smaller sized pit stop.
Lucky me, I came across 360 and the long line it was sporting and decided to pick up a little breakfast here.
They have a pretty decent breakfast burrito available before 11 am.
Stll, it is a little overpriced.
$ 7 for this mini burrito.
Oh well at least it’s good.

Wow. Just plain bad. I had some hope for the burritos here b/​c the sign had the word «Gourmet» in it. My 2 yr old niece could probably make a better burrito than this. The tortilla was tasted like cardboard, the chicken and beef were dry and overcooked, there were not enough veggies, and the service sucked. Its sad that this place gets so much business.

It is sad that such establishments only survive because there are no other choices once you’re locked in at the airport.
I ordered a Mixed Vegetables burrito in a wheat tortilla shell. This vegetarian burrito consisted of a mix of veggies (zucchini, squash, bell peppers, and onions), rice, black beans, and TONS of romaine lettuce. Add a drink to that and it was over $ 8. Sheesh. And that was one of the cheaper things on the menu.
Overall, the vegetables had no taste. Usually, the vegetables are grilled and have some kind of flavor in them. But not this one. Good things I had doused the entire burrito in the self serve sauces available. (I believe they had three kinds.) Overall, the burrito was big and filling. Far from anything special. It served its purpose and I was full. Guess that’s what happens when your flight is delayed.
Service was basic. The line was always long. In the midst of my order, one guy demanded his money back since he’d been waiting over 15 minutes for his meal and his plane was taking off. The cashier told him he had to wait since she was in the middle of transaction and he definitely was in no mood to wait any further. As a result, she forgot to give me a cup for my drink and I had to go back and ask her for it. When I did, she responded with a «Wha? Wha?» (Is that still considered good customer service when they say, «Wha?»)
While waiting for my order, another woman hollered that she had been waiting a really long time for her order too and didn’t know why it was taking so long. My order actually came out pretty fast. I just had enough time to grab a plate, utensils, napkins, and hot sauce and they were calling my number already.
Calling out numbers — now this is a problem. The cashier tells you your number and it is on the receipt… except she doesn’t point out it’s the last two digits of a series of other numbers listed. So, of course most diners are looking at their receipt because they already forgot their number already and getting it mixed up with whatever else is listed on the receipt. This needs to be clarified. (There are anxious people at the airport, they need things spelled out at this point.)
With such minimal choices available at the airport, what can a girl really do?
