Burrito Bandidos

I hardly give out five stars.
Two words: shrimp. burrito.
Try it! I usually get it in a whole wheat wrap sans the guacamole and tomatoes, and daaaaaaaamn, son, it’s always an unforgettable experience. The price is extremely fair and makes for a really great casual lunch/​dinner. The burritos are quite filling, too. So much better than that burrito place in Kensington.
MMMMmmmmmmmmMMmm. Burritosssss.

I needed a quick post-​work-​pre-​lecture-​meal. Although I had already put a certain green pizza chain in my mind, I left Spadina station at the «wrong» exit, was briefly disoriented, panicked, and went to the restaurant which I had in my HEART. Didn’t regret it.
Restaurant size:
One does not simply come to Burrito Bandidos with the intent of sitting and eating.
Portion size:
Not feeling particularly gluttonous that late afternoon/​early evening, I opted for a regular steak and chicken. Still a good size, but I didn’t realize how hungry I actually was until I was happily munching on it outside of OISE.
Food quality:
Did I mention I didn’t realize how hungry I was? Maybe it was the hunger, maybe it was the deprivation from burritos, but it was pretty good. Granted, I don’t think I’ve had a burrito blow my mind before… but it was ultra satisfying. My instructor may have walked past me with judgement, but I’m the one with the burrito…
Service:
It took around 10 minutes from order placement to «Steak and chicken!» which is… kind of normal. Go read some printed Onion articles and have a laugh while you wait.
Final thoughts:
I’ll grab a large burrito next time. Sorry (not sorry) to the rest of the class…

My main recommendation with Bandidos is do takeout. The seating at the restaurant isn’t particularly attractive and their food is perfectly good wrapped up to go. I tried their bean & cheese burrito bowl and my friends got bean & cheese burritos. We enjoyed them but all agreed that there was just too much cheese. The burritos fit the spot but weren’t exactly memorable. I’ll probably be back for a late-​dinner the next time I’m in Toronto but mainly because it’s cheap and open till 2am !
P. S. they have the most hilarious onion articles posted on a bullitein board to keep you entertained as you wait!

Wasn’t expecting anything great when it comes to Mexican food outside the US. This place is surprisingly above par with their choice of tortillas, wheat or white. I went ahead with wheat and order a larger burrito with chicken and steak. The portion is still a little small for a «large burrito», perhaps it’s a Canadian sized. Again, $ 10 for something you normally pay half in your hometown is a bit of a heartbreak, but it’s ok, Canadian dollars are cheaper now so I won’t complain. The service is quite slow and if you are in a hurry, you should go to Chipotle.

This place has the best burritos in Toronto! The best. I love Mexican cuisine and Burrito Bandidos is like heaven to me. I used to go to the place on Peter Street which is now closed but this location is just as good. Highly recommend Burrito Bandidos.

Bloor West, between St. George to Bathurst is largely missing lunch spots that are fast, affordable, and filling. Burrito Bandidos is one of those few, precious, locations where you can get truly delicious food at very reasonable prices.
Over the past year a group of us from work have eaten just about everything on the menu here. The most commonly purchased items are the bean and cheese burrito (sometimes with soy), halibut burrito, and chicken quesadilla. They’re all wonderful options from a generally good menu.
All burritos come in two sizes: large and small. For 99.9% of people the small is plenty large. The large is almost certainly bigger than your stomach and, even if you do eat it all, you’re probably going to feel too full for the rest of the day/​evening. When in doubt, choose small.
There are, however, a few words of advice/​warning that you should know:
1. This place can get busy during the lunch rush. But you can place your order ahead of time either online or by phone. Do so and you can save yourself a bunch of time;
2. The burritos can be spicy. They add both jalapeños and a nice habanero sauce. If you don’t do hot, just ask for them to not include these particular items;
3. The vegan burritos tend to be more saucy than the non-​vegan ones. So, if you eat vegan, still get food from here but be sure to get some extra napkins.
Finally, I would warn you away from just one menu item: the pulled pork. Sadly the pulled pork at Burrito Bandidos is stringy and not nearly moist enough. Do yourself (and your teeth!) a favour and get just about anything else on the menu. Or at least get some toothpicks at the nearby Shoppers or Metro; you’ll need them to get the meat out of your teeth post-​burrito.

Very unsanitary. Food server went from cleaning to making burritos without washing hands. I got food poisoning. Will never eat here again

The halibut burrito is a personal favourite. Since it takes awhile to cook, we’ll usually order it ahead of time, then swing by to pick it up or to eat it right away. It’s heavy enough for splitting between the two of us.

I ordered a small steak burrito on white and it was absolutely delicious! Huge burrito. I cut it in two and both meals were very filling. One of my favourite places to eat in Toronto.
However I only gave three stars because, while it may not be mandatory, the man who rolled and grilled my burrito did not wear gloves.

This place is an ‘alright’ burrito joint.
The sizing is massive. Gigantic, even. The service is also quite friendly, so if you’re looking for a bean/​cheese/​meat/​tortilla hit, this is the place to go. The food is quick and the smiles are broad.
That being said, you better have a steel stomach. Or at least not sensitive. I had the pulled pork quesadilla and it did not love me later on. Like so many places, when you’re getting a massive portion of something, the quality gets sacrificed. The food is still pretty tasty, but nothing to write home about.
Last comment — they should consider a different way to package up quesadillas for takeout. They stack them up on top of each and the grease ends up pooling on top of each slice. Not great…

Equivalent du Chipotle aux States, Burrito Bandidos permet de combler sa fringale de burrito jusqu’à une heure tardive de la soirée.
Grand choix de viandes et sauces, composez vous même votre burrito et attendez 5 à 10 minutes avant de repartir avec votre précieux ou dégustez le sur place.

Burrito Bandidos has some of the best burritos I’ve had in the downtown. Being in the Annex, it’s a pretty convenient location. The pricing is pretty standard, and the burritos are delicious. It can easily hold its own against some of the bigger chains like Chipotle.
Only downside is that there’s barely anywhere to sit down, other than a tight set of chairs near a high table facing the only window. You will most likely be taking the food to go.

OKAY! Let me begin by saying that I LOVE ‘rritos. TRUST ME — I pretty much have a chipotle season’s pass (yum). Not only is the food top quality, but their staff is even more scrumptious. There’s a tall dark and handsome bearded man who is always very helpful and efficient when dealing with multiple customers.
In one word — Really fun.

I couldn’t rave about this joint more! The food is fresh, service is fresh and they carry plenty of topping options. I am a fan if the bean and cheese and my hubby loves the chicken. 5 stools in store and a picnic table outside.

I have really mixed feelings about this Burritos Bandidos. I’ve have some ok experiences here but mostly terrible ones. The food is relatively decent but expensive given the unreliable quality.
Pretty much every time I’ve gotten a quesadilla here they have botched it. It always falls apart for lack of cheese and ends up turning into an awkward, barely edible pizza. When this first happened, the owner was extremely kind to us and even provided us with a free meal. When my three friends and I got bad quesadillas again a few weeks later, effectively wasting $ 40, I decided never to go back here again.

I feel in love with this place!!!
My wife brought home a steak burrito for me claiming it was way better then chipotle. Well it was and still is.
For the same price as chipotle I get everything i want and didnt have to pay extra for guacamole. I love how its all juicy and the sauce drips from the burrito and how they warm it up just before giving it to you so the chesse is nice amf warm.
To be honest the only part I didnt like i was there yesterday and their hot sauce isnt freshly made but comes from a bottle but still loving this place and I will keep going.

To Jadon H review. You are full of shit! The owner is one of the nicest most engaging people I have ever met in the fast food industry. He takes his company very seriously to the point he purchased a new machine for pressing the burritos and wasn’t sure about the quality it was producing. He asked me to try it out (burrito on the house) and to call in and let him know how it was. I gave honest feed back and said the flat top was much better. He got rid of it right away. I doubt he would break the laws of proper food handling. I think you were just having a bad day and need to lash out!
I have been coming here for years and will continue to do so!

This place serves up some of the better burritos in the city.
All of the choices are tasty but my favourites are the shrimp and the bean and cheese.
You can also add mango to any kind of burrito which can be a nice touch.

Love coming here for lunch. I usually call ahead and arrange for pick up and have enjoyed almost every single burrito I’ve ordered here.
They charge extra for burrito sauce but it’s well worth it, especially if your order the veggie soy (they have sometimes given me a painfully dusty veggie soy burrito that was as dry as wood chips!)
But otherwise a nice spot for a quick and dirty afternoon treat.

Quite a selection of burritos, and for $ 12 you get a large burrito and a drink. Ready very quickly, I got the chicken burrito and my buddy a steak burrito. The combination of flavours and toppings goes very well, and makes for a very quick fix for lunch or dinner!
There’s little to no seating, so be prepared to get your order to go.

Decided to stop by Burrito Banditos on my way home from my day of discovering Kensington and Chinatown. For the longest time, I’ve passed by BB but the Bloor sushi joints always got the better of me.
I had the small shrimp and steak burrito on whole wheat with all the fixin’s and hot sauce (except jalopeno). The torilla was a bit burnt but the rest of the flavour was A-​Ok. Even with the small, it was still huge and filling. Ordering was fast and with smiles, had to wait 10 minutes for my order as it was made to order, which is okay.
The space is small, a few bar stools inside and a picnic table outside, so most orders (including mine) were for take away.
It’s a good option if you’re on thr Bloor strip and don’t feel like eating sushi.
