Fat Bastard Burrito

This is for the 628 King St. Toronto location. Ok burritos are not really in the Mexican cuisine, maybe I should gotten the clue is a bastard, but come on it was a very bad attempt. Quesadillas tequila lime no taste of tequila or lime with a very
dry chicken like meat. Big dissapointment for a Puerto Rican living in Chicago. I hope you can do better for 37 Canadian dollars (2 quesadillas a burrito and 3 sodas) than what I did.

My diet had withered me to a hungry shell of a man, so to provide some much needed relief I decided to try out Fat Bastard Burrito Co on Queen St. This location is essentially purely takeout, since there isn’t much seating to speak of. Aside from that, the only other thing to note aesthetically is the button activated sliding front door which just seemed… odd for a burrito joint. Needless detail? Yes.
The food! It was pretty damn good. I opted for the baked chicken burrito, which I’ll say right off the bat was good, but if you’re looking to maximize your tasty, go for the ground beef or pulled pork. Anyway, the name Fat Bastard Burrito is warranted, because these bad boys are thick and filling. I got a «lil» size and was still healthily satisfied by its conclusion. They stuff the burritos with everything but the kitchen sink: beans, rice, lettuce, cheese, pico de gallo, cilantro, green onions, sweet peppers, jalapenos, mild salsa, coleslaw, sour cream, burrito sauce, hot sauce, guacamole, burrito spice, chicken. Of note, the chicken was cooked well, but it didn’t have much seasoning, if any, which I suppose they can pass without considering the myriad of other ingredients, but what can I say; the heart wants what the heart wants. Lastly, I really appreciated how when I asked for spicy, they treated me like an adult and gave me bonafide spicy.
To sum it up, it was obviously very good. You’ll find better elsewhere, but for a «fast food» burrito, the ingredients are solid, it leaves you satiated, and the taste is real. Come through.

i held it down for you here on Unilocal you fat bastard. Got a big dutty shrimp burrito and I was not impressed. I ordered on Über Eats and I specifically said NO cilantro. I HAVE THAT CHROMOSOME. It tastes like soap, its not my fault and I WONT let you CILANTRO shame me! hmmph! That’s like giving me peanuts when I could die from peanuts! One of you hired goons added cilantro to the bottom of this soggy shrimp-​lacking burrito! AND I’d like to know if the chow mein noodles were actually cooked cuz they looked very light skinned and dense. Halfway through the burrito a thick goo formed and swallowed the lettuce/​noodle sauce goo into one homogenized goop. Think Majin buu. Anyway, you guys need a grill for ur burritos if you wanna stand a chance in food delivery. This ainta game
3 stars

Cockroaches cockroaches cockroaches. Let me tell you the truth about this dump. It has cock roaches for one thing. The food storage is awful, meaning food is stored in unsafe conditioned and used for days when it suppose to be disregarded. The new owner is awful, abusive to staff arrogant and just a total asshole. If you don’t believe me, just look on the dine TO website. They have had many health violations. Take your business else where. This place is a dump.

Solid burritos. I wouldn’t say they are the best in the city, but they are good and they offer a lot of variety in different toppings and sauces. As others have mentioned a huge is a damn big burrito. They manage lines well during busy hours and I’ve yet to have them mess up my order. If you’re looking for a place to stop by for a burrito and are around this place then I’d definitely give it a shot.

Extremely sick after having dinner from this location. I won’t be returning. The staff here are also easily flustered by a busy crowd and don’t listen that well. I highly suggest finding another spot.

I normally go to the Mississauga location; Dixie and Burhamthrope (northeast corner).
Happy to see one when I was in the neighborhood.
I ordered a Lil’ Sautéed Shrimp and Veggie Burrito… with Rice, Noodles, Pico De Galo, Lettuce, Little bit of crunchies (crushed tortilla chips), Extra Guacamole Burrito Sauce and Spice. Love it!!!
My friend ordered the ground beef with same topping minus guacamole and with cheese. She said it was very good.

I grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, so my taste for authentic Mexican isn’t always on point. In fact, sometimes I crave ground beef smothered in sour cream and veggies, and this place will do that for me sans judgement.
Their burrito sizes are true to their names, which some people see as a con, but not I. If I ask for a small, I mean a small, I do not mean something the size of my thigh that will inevitably half end up in a waste bin. The toppings run the gamut from expected: guac, salsas, rice, and refried beans to the unexpected: noodles, butter chicken, crunchies and more.
Two can easily dine for about $ 15 and when you’re hungry, it’s late and you’re on W Queen W, this place can have you eating in 10 minutes or less. Long live the bastard!

My fav burrito place. I always get the sweet potato with everything including chips and noodles.
Sometimes the service can be a bit spotty. Sometimes my order is either wrong, they don’t put all the toppings when I ask for it, they load on the hot sauce when I ask for mild, or they skimp out on toppings. One girl put 3. THREE pieces of green pepper. Then she removed one. I ordered a medium sized burrito and ended up smaller than their ‘lil’ (what I usually order.)
The burritos do take a bit of time but can be ordered in advance.
I do go to burrito boyz and big fat burrito pretty often (burritos are bomb diggity ok, dont judge) and I find this place is way more consistent in terms of quality than both. Also addition of nachos and noodles as toppings at no extra charge is what really sells this place to me.

Been twice, out of what I initially wanted each time. Tried the chicken and the pork. Meh… just meh. Price does not match value in my opinion, tasted like grocery store fare. Go to Ravi’s just a few storefronts down for a wrap at the same price but twice the flavor. (Even if the portion is smaller…)

Although their service (specially the male cashier) leaves a lot to be desired, the burritos are always great. The tequila lime chicken or roasted chicken can be a bit salty at times, but it hits the spot. I find their hot sauces unbearable and numbing (not such flavor just too much heat, cannot taste anything afterwards).
We always get the pulled pork, carnitas or tequila lime, and guacamole is decent too

Pretty decent burrito, but nothing special. Portions are smaller and more expensive than other better burrito places so I’d return only if I’m in the area.

The giant is HUGE. The naked bowls are delicious! The battered chicken is BAD, overly deep fried garbage, avoid! Get steak, grilled chicken, bean and cheese, really anything that isn’t battered and deep fried.
Delivery usually takes forever. And be warned — the hot sauce is HOT. I love spicy food, but the hot sauce here renders the meal inedible for me. Unless you like ghost pepper type of spicy, skip it! Extra guac is totally worth the $ 1! :)

Great for a grab and go burrito. Prices are fair and service is quick and friendly. My fave is the pulled pork, but they do have vegi options too. I love the sliding door for the opening it makes the space feel bigger and open, very funky.

Three stars feels exactly right. I live nearby and visit sporadically. If it were the quality of Burritos Banditos I’d be saying I was a regular but it’s just not that kind of good yet.
The quality of the food overall is decent. The quality of the meat isn’t the best though primarily with the chicken. Passable for most but if you’ve had any good traditional stuff you can taste the difference. It’s a few pegs above subway’s microwaveable chicken but it still doesn’t have that fresh unprocessed taste. And to echo a lot of past reviews AVOID THE COLESLAW.
I tend to lean towards the battered fish & shrimp mix as their best burrito. Unfortunately for the smaller foodies it only comes in huge ($ 13).
The service is timely and most of their staff is friendly and careful about preparing your burrito. One particular member of the crew is mysteriously hostile when talking to men. Don’t what that’s about but on the bright side I see her the least.
All in all this is a nice on the run burrito place if you have 10 – 15 waiting on the prep. It’s good every time but not great often.
If you want to find the best burritos in the city take your search elsewhere.
UPDATE: They now do the Shrimp mix in all sizes! (2015)

I should probably be more generous with the stars here because I eat there often but there are just too many better burrito joints in the city.
This location is down the street from me so I go often due to my burrito addiction. I basically always get the lil (their smallest size) bean and cheese on whole wheat. Same order I get at Burrito Bandidos but this place just gets something wrong along the way.
Beans are tasty and smokey in flavour, they offer chow mein along with the rice but I usually skip it. Bit too much starch for my liking. Then they have the usual toppings that I indulge in — lettuce, pico de gallo, jalapeño, cilantro, peppers, salsa, sour cream, burrito sauce (it’s very tasty here), but they also have coleslaw which I think is gross and the vinegar dressing takes over and runs throughout the burrito. They also will crunch up some chips in there which is kind of a nice touch. Watch out for the hot sauce, I ask for a little bit which can vary depending on the person making it but it is extremely spicy. My husband likes the burn so he goes for it.
They grill the burritos which I also appreciate but again it never comes out like Bandidos.
Try the Blair’s Death Rain chips if you want to ruin your night and your taste buds!
In conclusion, it gives me my fix when I need one and that’s about it.

First mistake. Ordering delivery. Second mistake. Not cancelling the order after it took an hour and a half.
We finally got our food only to be greeted by the driest, blandest, most BURNT quesadilla I’ve ever had in my life.
I was starving and decided to throw it out an eat a bowl of Cheerios. Save your cash.

Butter chicken burritos, burritos with chow mein, burritos with brandy. I should end the review there.
2^nd best burrito i’ve ever had. Good flavour, but their «big» isn’t as big as other places I’ve been to. I think their huge is the equivalent of Boyz large.
Good option in the area but the B-​Boyz are still tops in my books

Not my favourite burrito ever. They don’t make the ‘smalls’ as massive as Burrito Boyz or Burritos Bandidos. Therefore, less of a bargain.
But I do appreciate how there’s an option of putting noodles inside the burrito and that the guacamolee is vegan. Also, there’s a space-​age automated entrance! (Because I’m a child and easily impressed).

Fat Bastard Burrito opens till 4am on Fridays and Saturdays! It is the best thing I had at 3 am after couple of drinks (1,2,3,4,5,6.) on Queen West.
The lines seems to be long, but the friendly staff are just so efficient and it took around 10 minute for my order to be ready after I customize all the toppings (love the selections! noodles, cilantro, jalapenos, guac and more).
I really enjoyed the Battered Fish Burrito ($ 8.99) and Baja Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas ($ 8.49) I ordered to share as the after crawl snacks. Good value, tasty, fast and filling!
Fat Bastard Burrito definitely my to go place for some comforting food after a night of drinking on West Queen West!
I love Fat Bastard!
P. S. no photos of the food because I was hungry, because I was drunk, because it was 3 am. I just want to eat the damn thing!
