Love this place and its really this specific location that I find the best. Everything is fresh and made in house, even the rice, beans, guacamole, salsa. The burrito bowls are the way to.

Awesome food one of the best restaurant I have visited. Yummy sauces my favorite is Chipotle and Jelepeno hot sauce Nice staff happy faces just reduce one star because of Interior, door is on the wrong place if it's busy (usually gets busy) if trying to open door from inside or outside, can't open without interfering customers!!! And the next thing is that ventilation, not working properly or then are not turning on, smoke from the burrito grillers remains in the restaurant itself, so that can create problem in inhale to some customers! And also liked that decoration of red peppers and Jelepeno

We love Mexican food. We ordered 1 veg burrito , 3 Veg Hard Tacos and 1 Kid's quesadilla. It was really tasty. The food overall was really good. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that they don't have fresh Guacamole. The guacamole was looking dark and turned almost black. I hope they can make sure of having the fresh guacamole.

Such a treat when fresh and healthy is also fast. There's a great variety at barBURRITO; sandwiches, burritos, bowls, quesadillas, tacos, and more. This "fast food" isn't cheap but it's worth a bit extra. The mild chicken burrito was very satisfying and delicious. The service at the Boardwalk location was professional and efficient.

Tried steak and ground beef tacos..it was definitely delicious though the tortillas could have been little more crispier ( I didn’t specify that while ordering, that might be a reason) and could have more delicious with some more meat..but overall it was good :) ordered it via skip..

Went there last week to grab a couple of burritos and bowls, they were fantastic! There was a small issue with my online order (it got sent twice), but the gentleman working there quickly fixed it on the spot so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Great food and excellent customer service!
