After spending many a summer in the USA, having a wide choice of fast food outlets at your finger tips, coming back to the UK where it was all burger based was always a bit of a let down. So when Barburrito started popping up around the country I was only more than happy to indulge and see what they had to offer. Being a big fan of Mexican food, I found it a great alternative to your normal fast food outlets such as McDonalds, Burger King, KFC etc. With an operation that runs similar to fast food sandwich chain Subway, in the fact that you choose your (bread) Taco, Burrito, Salad Bowl or Nachos, then choose what spice off bean you want, then to meat, salsa, ...  Read the complete review

I visited the Trafford Centre location on a Saturday evening at around 9pm. For those who don't know about Barburrito, it is a fast food style joint, where you walk up to a counter and specify whether you would like a burrito, a bowl or soft or crunchy tacos, then you specify your meat (or veg), and then you choose your extras like salsa and cheese. They like to sell themselves as fresh, original and healthy, but in my experience they met criteria for none of the above, and I will explain why. So, I have three main issues with this place: 1. On the occasion I visited the rice was congealed, cold and unembellished with the promised lime / coriander. ...  Read the complete review

Is there such thing as a healthy fastfood place these days? Yes i know Subway is great for the healthfreaks out there, but now i have discovered Barburrito mexican grill. Marie Claire describes Barburrito as award winning, casual and cool. I cannot argue with that.

You have a choice of choosing a Burrito - which basically is a tortilla wrap filled with your choice of meat (or veg), rice, mild or spicy beans, salsa, cheese, and onions and mushrooms. Tacos - usually 3 tacos filled with your main choice or ingredients ...  Read the complete review

I first had a Barburrito a couple of weeks ago at the newly opened Leeds branch, and paid a repeat visit just yesterday, only this time to the Manchester Piccadilly Gardens restaurant. Barburrito offers fast food, but not as we know it in this country. There's not a burger to be found in the building!! Your basic options are a burrito, nachos, a taco, or a bowl - with various choices along the way as to the contents and additional ingredients. Both times I have been I have opted for the burritos. You are then taken along the counter (much like you are in a Subway) as you pick your meat/veggie option, your beans (mild or spicy), veg, cheese and so ...  Read the complete review

I love Mexican food, although when I visited friends in Califonia on a family holiday a few years ago I thought my love affair had turned sour after being overwhelmed with Mexican choices and not much else. A few years ago I came across Barburrito in The Trafford Centre, Manchester, and was enticed to try it due to the introductory promotions that they had on offer. Instantly I was hit with memories of trips to Mexican take away places after a day on the beach, and thankfully it was the happy memories that I recalled, (rather than the 'do I really want wraps,chicken,salsa,beans,salad...salsa with chicken rice & beans in a ...  Read the complete review
