Burrito Libre

I am a taco fanatic, and these in my opinion are the best most flavourful, fast food tacos in the Edmonton/​Sherwood Park area.
Staff is really nice, and if you go as much as my wife and I they tend to remember you. They will always know to put fresh shrimp on the stove when my wife walks in.

Ok
Not great.
Expensive.
Still far better than «McFood».
Personally I find Mucho Burrito a better value.
Fresh enough.
Haven’t been in months… drive by often and decide…“I’d rather go somewhere else”.
All that being said, it is certainly worth giving a them a shot. It may very well be a good fit for you.

Viva la Burrito! The closest thing to the burritos I fell in love with in San Francisco. These are burrito’s the size of a baby’s arm. Delicious.
You can choose all sorts of different options, although I always go plain old Beef burrito with the standard stuff.
They have 4 different types of salsa you can choose from, as well you can buy beer in bottles!
I had no problems with the service, and found it was exemplary!
Why did it get 4 stars?
Beer available at a fast food place
Lots of food for the money
Great service
Lots of free parking around.
No wait
What does it need to get 5 stars?
Make a better combo option. Seriously there combo is a handful of tortilla chips and a lemonade-​type drink. Who thought that would be a good idea?

I’ve been here about 5 times and all 5 times I’ve had the same person serving me. An asian lady with glasses. She is not pleasant and always tries to anticipate/​manipulate what you should order. Instead of asking «What size would you like?» She instead asks «Do you want a large size?». Then, when preparing the burrito, she’ll already have her hand ready to scoop the item she thinks you’re going to get. I feel so rushed and unprepared (plus she doesn’t explain all the options) that it’s like you have to decide that right that second. This past time I went, she asked me if I wanted cheese, and before I could even answer, she had already scooped a spoonful onto my burrito. Turns out i did NOT want cheese, so she’s feebly trying to pick out the tiny crumbs of cheese from my burrito (which is impossible), so she asks me if a little bit of cheese is ok. At this point I’m annoyed. I don’t have time for her to recreate a new one for me since I’m on a short lunch break. I say yes and she proceeds to cover up the cheese with more salsa and corn. What the heck? In any case, she needs to stop rushing people and herself and let people calmly make a decision about their topping without her pressurre tactics.

Honestly I must say this is my favorite place to go for lunch in Sherwood Park! I eat at this location at least 3 – 6 times a week depending on how busy of a day I am having! As soon as I walk in I am greeted with a friendly hello and served promptly. If I stay to eat, they always manage to say thank you and good bye before I walk out the door. the employees do not have the best English by they are by far the nicest fast food workers I have encountered. When choosing my lunch location guacamole is my favorite so it normally helps me decide where to go with such limited choices. The are never skimpy on the guac and this is my favorite part! The second best thing is that they have raw cabbage to top off either their burritos or burrito bowls. This is ultimately one of the healthiest veggies that you do not see anywhere! I also get a burrito bowl with lots of cabbage, guac and lots of the homemade pico de galla (salsa). So many veggies and costs the same if not less than most fast food lunches around Sherwood Park! Hands down the best place to go when you are in a rush or just need to refuel!

Good selection of options for made-​to-​order burritos. The roasted potatoes were unexpected, but tasty. High marks for the fresh salsas.

Great food, crummy service. The one person behind the counter could not even explain the menu options, let alone provide suggestions.
Study the online menu before you go so you have fewer questions for the incompetent staff.

Took the 25 odd km drive from home to this place, only because there would be better parking compared to the one near the UofA campus. First timer to Burrito Libre. Craving for the tex-​mex food, having tasted Baja Fresh, Chipotle on the south side of the border. Being a vegetarian — limited with single choice. Tried the burrito and Quessidila (sic). It was flavorful with the southwestern sauce. Would have prefered more healthier choices other than Gaucamolle. Not bad and definitely an option. But not in the same league as Baja fresh or the Chipotle.

Looking for a quick, tasty meal that will leave you full (sometimes more than full)? Burrito Libre is a good choice.
This fast food Mexican restaurant is set up similar to a Subway. You order from a set number of items on their menu, then customize from there.
To date, I’ve only sampled their burritos and the sampling has been good. From pulled pork to chipotle chicken, the ingredients are fresh and tasty. Decide on the size of the burrito (regular or large — large will leave you with a food baby unless you’re a teenager or someone with a hollow appendage), then choose your meat. My personal favourite is the chipotle chicken.
Now you get to stuff your burrito with a multitude of tasty ingredients. From rice to beans to peppers to an assortment of salsas, there’s something everyone will like. Don’t forget the guacamole, you pay a little extra but it’s worth it!
Burrito Libre also offers nice little paper bags of tortilla chips and salsa. The chips are fresh (must be deep-​fried in-​store) and tasty, with a hint of lime and salt.
The décor is pleasing, for a fast food joint and the bathrooms are clean. The staff has always been very pleasant and they work quickly. If you’re in a rush, this is a definite plus.
If you’re looking for a quick meal and like Southwestern/​Mexican food, check out Burrito Libre. It’s a great change from burgers and subs.
