Barburrito Restaurant

Finding good Mexican food in Scandinavia has been a mission of mine ever since moving back here from Southern California. When I came across this place I finally felt like my search had come to an end. Sure it’s not a greasy carne asada burrito, but damn their tacos are excellent. Plus points for the margaritas which were great

Taste of Mexico right here in Copenhagen.
Delicious, authentic Mexican burritos! Try the braised veal burrito, you won’t regret it… and as a starter get the plantains. Caution: you will be full after this meal.
Atmosphere is good, but typically very crowded. Last time I was there, I was constantly bumping shoulders with the guy next to me because there were too many people seated to a bench. Besides this little detail, I will definitely go again!

Fresh tasty this place is among a new bread of restaurants run by going foreigners, serving a pro-​globalisation millennial audience.
For anyone that appreciates good food and that the world has come to Denmark, visit this place.

Great Mexican vibe!
I stopped by this place because I was having a bad night and really craving some Baja Mexican food. Right away the server put a Tecate in my hand and basket full of chips with guacamole and pico de gallo! I ordered the pork and beef tacos and I was surprised how authentically good they were! The house made hot sauce was very flavorful and had that distinct Baja freshly infused lime taste to it. The two servers had a great vibe about them and they really turned my night around! One of the girls made a great tequila recommendation that was the perfect finish to a zesty meal.
I will definitely go back due to frequent Mexican food cravings!

The food here is very tasty (but not spicy if you’re into that). You have to order a lot in order to get full if you do not choose the burrito at the end of the menu. A big minus is that they charge you for «salsa for the table» regardless if you eat it or want it, for three people we paid 42 Danish kroner even though we did not taste it. The restaurant itself is OK regarding décor because the sofas in the booths are very uncomfortable. However the staff was happy and friendly and they were fast to serve the food.

Best Mexican food in Copenhagen. Had an amazing vegetarian burrito with sweet potato fries. Their guacamole is also very tasty! Small basement restaurant though, so reservations are a good idea…

Very small portions for unrealisticly high prices in a small crowded place. Wouldnt go again …

Abort mission. My latest trip to Barburrito was a disaster. Their prices have skyrocketed, along with their attitude. What use to be free bottles of hot sauce on the table are now charged at 14kr/​per person. All the food and drink prices have raised and it seems like the quality has gone down. My pork burrito literally tasted of nothing. I was drowning it in my 14 kr. mango sauce just to taste something. Wont be back now :(

Best. tacos.
My friend and I had an amazing time eating and drinking at barburitto! The staff was super accommodating even though we didn’t have a table reservation.
We were able to be seated at the bar pretty quickly and even received free shots!
The tacos and salsa were on point with texts so go here. Now. Stope reading and go! :)

On point! This place is delicious. The tacos are fresh and the guacamole is a must. The veal and chicken tacos are great with hot sauce. The prawn taco is a bit bland but also appetizing. I forgot to ask about the special of the day so be sure to do that. I highly recommend this place as a late night eat. Who doesn’t like tacos, margaritas, and guacamole?

Two months into my temporary Danish residency, I couldn’t take it any longer — I needed Mexican food! Coming from San Diego, I’m accustomed to some top notch guac/​burritos/​tacos and was ready to put Barburrito to the test. We booked a super late rezzie @ 9:45 because they were booked until then but we showed up 20 minutes early to see if they could squeeze us in. The host was pretty stern in saying that the place was full and that we couldn’t stand by the bar so we left to grab a drink until 9:45. When we came back he told us our reservation was at 10pm… What? Not sure how it changed? So we left again, grabbed another drink and finally got our seat at 10pm.
We ordered margaritas right away — pretty standard but very weak, barely tasted the tequila. After about 15 minutes of being ignored our waitress (who was very nice) came back and told us that the kitchen closed in 10 minutes so we have to order quickly. Would have been nice to take our order 15 minutes ago…
We ordered two chip and guac plates to start. The chips were great but they gave us enough guac for about one chip — holding back on the good stuff! And it was more of an avocado cilantro mash than guacamole. I ordered two chicken two veggie tacos. The shredded chicken was pretty good and the veggie was just roasted peppers onions and guac. They are super small so I suggest ordering more than 4.
Barburrito has a super fun and lively atmosphere but the average food and poor service make it worthy of 3 stars. Not many other Mexican options in the city so I’ll probably find myself desperate enough to come back.

Real Mexican coming from a Mexican it is really deal but the tacos are way to small and extremely expensive for what it is. I will recommend better go get some tacos at Torvehallen if you are in the mood for Mexican.

Small, quirky place serving great food! :)
Placed in an inconspicuous basement on Skindergade, Barburrito serves delicious burritos and tacos in a cosy, slightly murky atmosphere.
They cut and serve their burritos in a kind of weird way, but the food tastes great.
I can also recommend their cocktails.
There isn’t a lot of seating, so you may have sit it in the bar, which is okay but not as comfortable as at the actual tables.

I’m from California, so finding a legitimate Mexican restaurant in Copenhagen seemed like an impossible task for my standards.
Went here last night with some other Americans, and other non-​Danish natives, to satisfy our burritos cravings. First of all, MAKE A RESERVATION! or else you’ll be waiting around awhile; not necessarily because it’s required, but because the restaurant is extremely small and they cannot handle seating more than a handful of people.
I gave it an OK 3 star rating because:
Was it worth waiting around? Yes and no.
I got the Pork burrito with cheese and guacamole. It was pretty good but the «guacamole» was more like chunks of avocado thrown into it. And a majority of the burritos was lettuce.
But it was good! While it was not traditional Mexican food (and I am Mexican so I would know) it is still good enough to satisfy a craving.
And if you’re an American, don’t expect our home pricing — this place is pricey for what you get! For a burritos and a margarita, I paid 220 kr.
Will I go back? Maybe. I would rather try to make my own at home to get a more authentic experience.

Only proper mexican place in the region. A little hipstery, but by far the best you can do in when it comes to Mexican in Copenhagen/​Malmö. They have plantains! Vegan burrito is awesome.
Edit:
They changed their menu. Made it less flexible, more expensive. The food used to come on wooden platters, now it comes in plastic basket (like at Burger King). I have previously rated this place five stars, but the changes made it worse. I used to come to Barburrito at least once per month, but essentially stopped going there.

I have such conflicted feelings about Barburrito.
One one hand, the tacos here are the best I’ve ever tasted, on the other hand I just know that the service will threaten to ruin the whole experience. This means that I go there when I feel particularly emotionally stable, so I am ready to deal with long waiting times, orders forgotten and desperate attempts to obtain eye-​contact with the waiters, who seem to be desperately avoiding it.
So why the 4 stars?
1) The tacos are to die for. Braised veal, pork and shrimp tacos never fail. They are juicy and have interesting combination of ingredients, my favourite being the pickled shallot onion and pork.
2) Barburrito has THE corn on THE cob. Good grill, coriander crème and chili — just so good.
3) The atmosphere is very intimate, dark, cozy and I feel teleported to another place in another time.
4) I am also a big fan of funky restaurant toilets. I don’t want to spoil anything, but if you ever decide to feed at Barburrito you should also try to spend some time at the facilities.
So sip on your Negra Modelo, take a deep breath when things are slow and don’t go your way, and enjoy the taco.

As a San Diegan in Copenhagen, it felt a little weird going out for Mexican food, but after the Italian whirlwind of pasta and pizza, I was ready for a taste of home.
Barburrito does Mexican food up right. I remember the corn as a standout item — I never would have ordered it if the server hadn’t recommended it. The tacos and our shared burrito were great. I had a jalapeño margarita, and give it two thumbs up. Strong with good flavor, and a real bite from the pepper. (It might have been habanero, not jalapeño — I can’t say I remember precisely…)
The serving staff here likes to have a good time, which rubbed off on us. They were singing, chatting, and taking pictures with one another, all the while laughing and enjoying themselves. If you demand super-​attentive waitstaff that roams the aisles asking you how every bite was, this may not be the best place for you.
If you’re interested in jumping into a booth for some drinks, Mexican food, and to talk more with your friends or group than the staff, then this is a great place!

Very filling burrito and the Shrimp tacos tasted very fresh! We also loved the sauces although the Habanero sauce isn’t that spicy it had great flavor so don’t be afraid to try it

It is hard to find good Mexican Food in Copenhagen, and unfortunately your best bet isn’t all that good!
Barburrito’s intentions are good but the food is blend. The tortillas were dry and tasted like cardboard, and the toppings were unevenly distributed and lacked all flavor. Luckily they have two sauces you can add on top to make the tacos edible. The «crispy» pork skin was soft and tough and as far away from crispy a thing can get.
A very disappointing experience.
On the upside the drinks were good.

I loved Copenhagen, and there are many reasons why. However, the main one was how quickly and easily I was able to find great places to eat… just by walking down the street, closing your eyes, and pointing in any direction. Barburrito looked pretty inconspicuous from outside (had I blinked, I would have missed it). The inside was super dark and super hipster. We were told that the booths were all booked (though all empty…), but we were glad to sit at the bar.
One of the bartenders was Swedish, and another was Norwegian. I loved how international the place was. As a native English speaker it pleased me to be able to converse with all the servers. They were all super friendly, and the Swedish bartender was more than happy to sit with us for a few minutes and explain all our options. Seriously, I’ve never seen someone smile that much while describing tacos that they were going to watch others devour.
We ordered a burrito and 2 kinds of tacos to split. The tacos were crispy pork and their special that week (or month?), seared tuna. Both were incredibly tasty, and I enjoyed the variety and creativity of toppings. This isn’t a very authentic Mexican place, but I didn’t go in expecting that either. The burrito contained braised veal and I couldn’t believe just HOW much meat was in it. I have to admit, I love burritos due to all their delicious innards; rice, beans, meat, sauce, guacamole. mm. I missed that here, but it helped to validate the price tag.

Really tasty food in a cool and hip interior.
Margaritas are super tasty and the burrito was flavorful and filling served with sides of hot sauce. I’m not a huge fan of sweet potatoes in general but I decided to give the vegan burrito a go. Not authentic mexican but a great place to relax, eat, and drink.

For some reason I’ve never had much tex-​mex food whilst «out and about» before. But Barburrito has definitely peaked my interest!
I decided to book a table one sunday evening because of all the great reviews on Unilocal.Three taco-​hungry Norwegian friends were visiting for the weekend. We were all very well-​welcomed by the friendly staff and a crowded, but cosy (super warm place) atmosphere. The look and feel of the joint was quite «Mexican» (my interpretation of Mexican, that is) with wooden and tiled walls, neon lights in the windows and decorations ala «Dia de los Muertos».
The waitress seemed to be quite fresh in the game, but was very friendly and informed us about the menu. We ordered chicken tacos and two different kinds of pork tacos. One was the so-​called taco of the week and was quite spicy, but super yummy. My more independent friend got a chicken burrito, which I was informed was also delicious. Extra guacamole were had by all. Of course.
Everything I got tasted wonderful. Plus points are given for putting plenty of coriander on the tacos, on the guacamole, on everything! Minus points could be given for the two banana flies that were buzzing around our table when we got there. But then again, I’m all for authenticity!
Were it not for a little slow service and some confusion about how much we were supposed to pay, I would definitely give it five stars!

Our trip to Bar Burrito did not go well…
First off there was the exceptionally rude manager on the Saturday night we were there. He tried to claim our booking was at 5.30 and not 7.30 and that we were trying to lie about the time we had booked for. After some arguing he squeezed us into a space at the bar, opposite the tills, next to a speaker and beside the toilets. He had to move his mates who were sitting there which he seemed gutted about and I am sure they were not happy about losing their access to free drinks for the night.
The place itself looks quite cool and I was hoping the food would turn around the experience, but sadly it was very poor. I had a pork burrito and it was totally tasteless. Just about as bland as you could imagine and nothing like Mexican food should be. Alongside it I had a Negra Modelo which was standard light Mexican beer.
I thought why not try and save the situation lets try for dessert. When I asked the manger on the night who was serving us he looked as if I had asked him to crap in his hands and clap. He obviously wanted us out as quickly as possible. So that’s what we did, we left dessert and exited never ever to return.
Awful Mexican food and dire service.
Avoid!!!

It´s really hard to find good Mexican food in Copenhagen, I´ve only found one (one which aren´t following the «Santa Maria Mexican food» because there are lots of those)
I had really high expectations for this place, as several freinds had recommended to go here.
And it started out good — was very easy to book a table at their website, the place was very nice and cosy, good atmosphere and nice staff. But that was pretty much it and what they get the stars for, because the food was not good at all.
I am aware that they call it Mexican street foos as it should be in Copenhagen, BUT but but but — I like that my Mexican street food actually taste of something, and I am not sure they have ever tasted Mexican street food.
I had the Plaintanes with guaca, the coriander shrimp and the roastet pork tacos. All of it was pretty much tasteless and the roastet pork, had a strange taste to it. I know that Danish people can be resistant towards spicy and hot food —- But I think they can handle a bit more spices and taste. Plus I don´t know if the two flies in two of my tacos was included in the price or just free of charge.
But easy to say I wont be coming back here, I like my Mexican food to taste of something and be spicy.

I’m a novice when it comes to Mexican food. A really really good taco might hit me in the face and I might not be able to recognise it, so this is a really amateur review from my side.
My friend and I ordered the hola menu, with salmon ceviche on the side and a burrito. The food was lovely. The tacos, although small, were good and the burrito was definitely better than those sad imitation sold in various middle-​eastern «pizzaria» (the misspelling was intended). My friend who originally from California was thoroughly satisfied with the meal, although she did say that this must be a fusion thing, so the «gadekøkken» claim might not hold water.
The service was lovely. The corn on the cob (too much everything on it!) was cut in two, and so was the burrito and when I asked for the burrito to be wrapped in a doggie bag, the waiter didn’t bat an eye (or maybe he’s seen too many frugal Asian patrons and was used to the idea of doggie bag) and everything was so nice.
Why the three stars?
When I first booked the table, I got confirmation message and all, which was nice, but I noticed that they imposed a fee for not showing up. That’s a new thing. I suppose I could understand the restaurant’s side for doing that since guests booking a table and not showing up might be the most annoying thing ever, but will you give us a break? I almost — ALMOST — cancelled my reservation (it’s free until 1pm that day) and planned to eat somewhere else due to the fee. (I didn’t plan to NOT come, but shit happens sometimes and suddenly you can’t show up for your dinner reservation (would broken leg be a legit cause?)
Another thing was the price. The two of us spent over 600kr for Hola menu + salmon ceviche + burrito and 4 beers. It might be fine enough for Copenhagen, but I felt that we could have had so much more for that price. But hey, I’ve lived in Copenhagen for years, so nothing really surprises me…
I might come back, but it has to be on special occassion and I’m afraid, despite their tacos and burritos (and the plantain chips were to die for!) were delicious, I might pick somewhere else for the money.
