REVIEWS OF Burro IN Burlington

Jonathan Payne

Small location, Food was pretty good. Shared the pratatas with a group and we all thought they were tasty. I had the Fish and Beef cheek tacos, although good, the flavours fell a little short. Staff was friendly and nice, I may return in the future.

Chris Gregory

Decided to try Burro after loving the group's taco restaurant in Hamilton - The Mule. The tacos were good and I did like the different selection of tacos compared to The Mule, but overall I love The Mule a lot more. For me, the biggest difference was the selection of appetizers - I like The Mule's appetizers a lot more. Now that I've experienced both locations, I will definitely make the trip into Hamilton each time for The Mule, but we still had a decent meal here (although the price of individual tacos can really add up!).

Paul K

Love the food here! Everything I’ve tried has been very flavourful and delicious. Perfect for those of us who need to be gluten free. I most recently had the nachos, sweet potato taco and the Brussels spouts taco along with the chorizo and pork nachos. Would highly recommend all of that. Service is quick and the patio is nice.

chris adoranti

Fantastic tacos, a tad expensive but it is Burlington! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and a talented kitchen. Just as good now as it was on opening day. A true gem of a spot. Spoil yourself and give it a try!

Jocob Damin

This place is always fantastic. Everything from the service to the food. My go-to for tacos!

Mohd Asif

Cute little restaurant and awesome food.. the server gave us amazing recommendation.. full 5 stars

Yusuke MaO

Seriously good. The chef makes killer tortilla. The chorizo is amazing. I'll be back for sure. STAY STRONG IN THE LOCKDOWN!!!

Jess Work

The restaurant was pleasantly clean. The food was nice but pricey for the portions. 9$ for 2 maybe 3 tbs of mediocre queso dip and a literal handful of chips. I would have made a 4 star review but our female waitress was rude and wasn’t clear on how to access the menu. If you’re looking to order here make sure you purchase phone data since no wifi is offered.

Luis Balaguer

A friend of mine took me here when I was visiting Burlington - literally the best tacos I've ever had.

Emily Burtnik

Fun and enticing tacos in a cute boutique setting down a side alley. We've been back to this place a few times now, and would return again. My only disappointment, is that they're always out of the beef cheeks everytime we go

Lukasz Hul

Healthier taco options that are tasty and matched with a great atmosphere. The helpful and friendly staff attribute to this. There's plenty of parking, however, there are long wait times especially on weekends. A word of advice is to get here early and be prepared to spend more than usual for some quality tacos.

Damien WG

Must go. Amazing tacos, and killer Mexican Mule. We weren't sure about availability for gluten free but once we got there we realized they have a 100% gluten free kitchen so that was amazing to find. Prices are awesome i found, one taco roughly 5-6 dollars—good size and amazing flavour. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Would definitely go again.

R Pai

I have eaten here many times and had takeout during lockdown even more ! The staff have always been very kind and helpful. The food is always good and service is great.

Dante Perrotta

I love this place! Great food. This is perfect for vegans and non vegans to eat together for the love of tacos! Music is amazing and the staff are wonderful!

Rebecca

Dine in

Kyle Vincent

Extremely small portions and stone cold food. Delivery a possible factor, but would not order again nor would I recommend.

Hanzo

First time here and the food was excellent. Started with the chips and guac and both looked to be made in house. I'm not big on guacamole my self but theirs is delicious. Had a classic, and beef adobo taco. Both amazing. The adobo had a nice spicy kick to it!

NAV A

Tacos are great! But it’s a little pricey for the amount of food that you get.

Ashley Omran

Pretty fresh ingredients and decent flavours, but overpriced for the tiny, wee portions. The soft tacos ($8 to $10) are literally about 3 bites for my teen. Funky decor and nice patio but not much value for your dining dollar.

stephanie varey

Perfect weather on a Friday to sit out in their front patio and enjoy some tacos. When we arrived we scanned a QR code which took us to a link to fill out our name and email for contact tracing. No big deal and it took literally 20 seconds. We had a combination of hard and soft tacos - achiote chicken, adobe beef and brussel sprout tacos. The Adobo beef was our favorite, the meat was super tender and loved the fact they were extra spicy with the Anaheim peppers. The chicken tacos were also really good, and the brussel sprout taco was interesting with the really crispy leaves worth trying out if you're looking for something different or a vegetarian option. Nice little spot we'd come back to in the summer.

Li Ro

For someone who's never given tacos a proper chance, I chose this place to get into the taco world. I certainly was not disappointed! The tacos we're full of distinct flavors with each bite. You can see and taste the attention to detail that went into making this simple food. The Mexican hot sauces add another dimension of heat if you're willing to explore. I was amazed at my first proper introduction to tacos and this is a gateway to try more Mexican cuisine. I definitely would recommend Burro for any taco lover out there.

H. K.

Love this place. We keep going back!

Gemma Digby

Delicious tacos and killer margaritas. Accommodated my food intolerances of gluten, dairy, soy and egg no problems!

Robert Skoczen (lackofspark)

First time here and loved the mix and match taco idea. They were all so yummy, I had sweet potato, dish and beef cheek. The atmosphere is funky, staff were fun and friendly. It was lively on a Saturday night and a reservation helped

Jill Black

Went in hungry, left confused. The hard and soft shell tacos were about $6 each and tasted fine. Didn’t make me violently ill either so that’s a plus. 3/5 overall

Peter Collinson

Very cozy eatery with so many varieties of Taco! Being a vegetarian my favorite is the brussel sprouts Taco! Not so expensive and excellent staff as well!

Mark Brown

Extremely fast and friendly service for a pick up order. Love the brussel sprout tacos - can't be beat!!! So lucky to have this in Burlington.

R T

The food was tasty, but kinda pricey for the size of tacos. We ordered chipotle sweet potatos (they are not very spicy, which was good for me) and beef cheek tacos. Flavor was good, but size too small. If you're very hungry, you need to order at least 5 tacos, or another meal. The price for each taco was 6- 6.5.

Alaleh - FoodyTO

Second time visiting here and it was well overdue. Love this place! The staff and management are great here. Tacos are fantastic and drinks are amazing. Definitely recommend.

Sydney Howard

I go to this superb place once a month since I love the ambiance that is part of this restaurant. The team is extraordianrillyremarkably welcoming and qualified. The service is absolutely fast. Most important, the food they prepare is magnificent. I have been there often and I was always satisfied. The pay is fair. I suggest this place to all my friends.

Simon Lammers

I tried three of the tacos and all were excellent. I could live without the jerk pork taco, it was mostly fat and underwhelming. The curried goat was excellent and the "classic" is exactly what you would expect and want. Had the chips and guacamole, the guac was about excellent I could have done with the chips being served warm but a minor complaint it was very good. Cool atmosphere. Our server was extremely pleasant and attentive. We will be back for sure and I would recommend.

mahesh wani

Lovely small place with an intimate seating arrangement. Food quality was good, drinks were really nice and the overall vibe of the place was pretty good too. Because the place is tight, you are advices to reserve your table in advance. Parking should be easy to find; either street parking or look for nearby lots. Overall experience was great, definitely recommended for some nice vegetarian as well as non vegetarian options.

Rachel Schoutsen

Always have an amazing meal at Burro, their tacos are simply the best!

John M

Quality has gone down drastically as this was one of the worst tacos. Every aspect of it was terrible from the taco shell to the bland meat. Very expensive for the awful quality, save your money.

Andrew Dreosto

Get the margarita. And all the tacos. So good!

Ryan

A great assortment of creative and tasty tacos, and they are all gluten-free too! Guacamole and nachos are so fresh, and the margaritas are perfect!

Chris S

Food quality really dissapointing for somebody had tried Mexican food before, no difference with taco bell

Lindsey McFarlane

Our favourite go to restaurant! Best tacos I have ever had hands down! Unique flavours and great quality!

Sara D

This is the best taco place, nay restaurant, in Burlington! We had the best time. The food was unparalleled, the atmosphere was rockin, and the staff was amazing. We will be back over and over.

Barry Delong

Fish tacos ???? were amazing! Chorizo Nachos too!

Ace Numan

We ordered the classic tacos, bravas supreme, and guacamole and chips for take out. Everything was ready in about 10min and food tasted great! We'll definitely be ordering from here again!

pardeep singh

Fantastic food and the most cheerful service. It made even the greyest day on the patio a beautiful one.

Steve Hawrylyshyn

Our go to taco place! My husband is celiac and everything here is Gluten Free & delicious!

Arquimedes Quintana

I wish they had more vegetarian tacos because let me tell you, the ones they DO have are divine!! 10/10 well done. A little expensive but believe me when I say it's worth it!! Sweet potato tacos were my favorite.

Nicole Toope

Great owners, great food, great space

Sarah Kendra

Every time I've been here, the food has been excellent. My favourites are the fish tacos and the shaved Brussels sprout tacos and I don't even like Brussels sprouts usually.

Mario Zelaya

Tacos were tasty and creative. We ordered one drink and two tacos each and our bill was over $50 - drinks were overpriced for what they were.

Khaled Zaky

The service was very warm and friendly! The food was absolutely healthy and delicious. Great for all types of people who have different tastebuds. From the meat eaters to the vegans! Very warm atmosphere and worth the visit! You leave the restaurant full, since portions are perfect.

Sudharshan Sukumaran

I really like this place! The menu is awesome, I had troubles choosing what I wanted because everything sounded so good. The environment is super funky and the staff are kind and fun to talk to. Our food was fantastic so I'll be coming back for sure

Justin A.Y

Taco Thursdays from Burro are helping us get through the pandemic. They have the best variety of tacos and ingredients are fresh, interesting and delicious. It is pricey as the adult males in my family can eat 6 tacos plus appetizers, but we think it's worth it. Try the brussel sprout tacos, they are amazing!

TJ

Loved the vegetarian tacos!

Matt Sanche

Amazing place for tacos!!! It turned up on a random Google search and did not disappoint! The nachos were outstanding. Got a selection of tacos too which were equally as delicious! Will definitely be returning!

Geoffrey Chu

Delicious tacos, great margaritas, and excellent service. I will definitely be dragging unsuspecting friends out for taco nights here.

Zain A

Used to love coming here until I found a piece of FISH in my guacamole. It was a pretty big piece of fish and there's no way it could have unintentionally fell in there ... Very disappointed as I have a seafood allergy and 25% of my little bowl of guac was consumed by a thick piece of seafood.

Deepak Rajpal

The servers there were perhaps the most attentive and nicest I’ve ever had, and every seat was full and they were busy but they asked me 3 times if I needed anything, the food is also okay, excellent customer service.

Peter Arth

Wow! Customer service is amazing. I ordered o. Skip the dishes. A small part of the order didn’t arrive. I called to let them know, they had it here in 10 minutes, with a gift card and were so apologetic. They also added an extra dip and chips. My kids and I were so appreciative. And it was also my daughters bday (they didn’t know this) but she had specifically asked for guacamole and chips ???? thank you so much.

Brent Hui

Good taco's!

Max Leard

Terrible staff. Unresponsive. Waited for 30min to be seated.. in the end said no table for four people.

Alison

Cool place

Carlo Di Franco

Awesome food, cocktails, and atmosphere. Staff was friendly and service was prompt. Will definitely be recommending to friends.

P Largio

Great soft shell tacos. Perfect for lunch - any if the choices is wonderful. A couple of vegetarian options, also perfect.

Shannon Steel

If you're familiar with the Other Bird group, and their Hamilton restaurants (The Mule, Two Black Sheep, Rapscalion) then you'll know this is a good spot. Similar to The Mule, but with a slimmer menu. Great tacos and cocktails. I would like to see a larger menu thought.

Todor Tonchev

Decent food. Strange but nice service.

Parham Dibajnia

Tacos were good, no complaints. The only downside to our visit was the 45 mins we waited on a monday at 1pm for a seat. Staff was great also.

Sergio Sarmiento

Great location, atmosphere and even better food! Service was friendly and efficient. Even the vegan options were very tasty :)

Rose Borg

I love this place. I have Celiac Disease. So, I have to eat gluten free. This place is completely gluten free. The food is incredible and tasty. Such depth of flavor.

Seth Hansen

I have eaten here at least 4 times and the tacos and Mexican cuisine is definitely something special. I have tried everything on the menu, the rotating special has never disappointed, and the fish, sweet potato, and classic are my favourites. Servers are always very friendly and prompt. Margarita and sangria are excellent. Seriously, you cannot go wrong with any cocktail or food here, vegans out there check out the 10 layer dip!

Stephanie O'Leary

Read the reviews and decided to give it a shot. One of our party had some food allergies, but they were very accommodating and delivered loved options. Some challenges in the kitchen threatened to derail our experience, but the Burro staff worked hard to make it right, and we left impressed by their commitment to service and high-quality chow. And the food! Some reviewers commented on the prices, but we thought them reasonable after tasting their elevated spin on simple Mexican fare. Unexpectedly, the brussels sprout tacos were my fave. It was all good and enjoyed by all. We'll be back, confident in the staff and kitchen to win us over again.

Surbhi Tiwari

Great Tacos & margarita's!

Alex M

Portions are small. Ordered two tacos each between two of us and two soft drinks and it came to $30.

scioruch

I work across the street so this is a pretty frequent stop for me. Every time I go in the staff is always so bubbly and welcoming, and the food is always top tier.

Jason

With some of the best nachos I've ever had, this eclectic and cozy place will provide you with spectacular tacos to enjoy. An interesting note is that you order tacos individually - with veggy, fish, and meat options, I would suggest you get one of each! They also have a great and ever changing bar menu. Great for a date or time with friends

Mark K

Apon entering The Burro Restaurant, on Brant Street, the front steel door definitely fights you to enter the establishment and on first impression looking in the restaurant, it certainly does "NOT" look very clean at all, throughout the restaurant, very dull lighting and especially the floors are dirty and sticky & the front table for taking payment is very sticky and dirty and the common black "chalky" bathroom is absolutely 'vile!!' I wouldn't let my German shepherd use it!! Also, I noticed many times, that their one Portable Credit card machine is handed out to 'each & every' customer to pay, that walks in, or sits down at one of their dark wood tables "WITHOUT" never wiping it down, with ANY Clorox or Lysol wipes or reputable germ disinfectant! Sickening...???????? The Restaurant owners and staff, have clearly let their normal cleaning & infection standards for months and should be inspected soon by Halton Heath Department!

Kunal Shroff

The staff here are very attentive and hospitable. The food is tasty and fresh. They have a good selection of beers to choose from. Sangria is very nice, I recommend the red wine sangria. They serve a variety of different tacos, which you order 1 by 1, which is really awesome. Other places force you to order 3 or more for 1 person. Which can suck if you want to try different tacos. Not here! Try then all! Prices range for $4.50 for the original to $6 per taco. My only constructive criticism is that they should lower the price of the alcohol. 1 glass of sangria was $12. I would like to see it reduced to $8 or $9, this way people will be more likely to order 2 glasses. But this place still gets 5 stars for their delicious food, awesome staff, awesome atmosphere, great interior and their unique patio.

Tamzin Swanepoel

Great service, great tequila and even better tacos! Fish tacos are our all time favorite. The one thing that we've noticed is none of the tacos that claim to be spicy are spicy... so we just ask the chef to make them spicy and we ask for hot sauce on our table.

Serafina Thoma

Best burrito in the town

Heather Pimbert

Best tacos in Burlington

Tyler Bigden

Good tacos, reasonable price. Collective Art beer on tap (just one), works for me. Quick service too (small establishment). Liked it a lot

Rachel Tournay

Food was fresh portions are small but realitivly well priced

George Yamine

Cool low budget decor concept with great service but the pricey menu and food served fell short of impressing on this early Sunday evening outing. The homemade Chorizo and Pork Belly were the highlights. Both were delicious in the dishes we ordered. Just tasted like they missed the mark on the intended flavourings. Has potential though, so I will give them another try.

icetink

They have a cute and cozy side patio that we chose to sit in. Their food menu is divided to “Tacos” and “Not Tacos”. We ordered “Chorizo, Cotija & Pork Belly Nachos” for appetizer and Margaritas for drink. I enjoyed my drink a lot since I love Tequila. For entrée, we ordered “Fish Taco” and “Beef Cheek Taco”. Fish taco was amazing and very delicious; I strongly recommend it. If I go there again, I will order 10 Fish Tacos with Margarita and nothing else! Lol!

Manjula Varma

Awesome tacos. They have been making them better over the years! And better served too.

Ian Anderson

Loved it! Great experience, and so nice that everything is gluten free!

Tristan Grigg

Really good food and great location.

Maggie Verity

Great service. We got there just in time to grab the last spot. Food is always prepared great and in good time. The atmosphere is perfect, small and cozy nook but good volume. Servers are always friendly too, not surprised theres anywhere from 25-60 min waits. ????

Dennis Bueno

Everything was great! The food! The drinks! The service! The restaurant is a really cute and colourful little spot right downtown Burlington. Will definitely be going back... especially once the weather turns warmer and we can take advantage of their patio.

Laura Molina (Laura M)

Amazing gluten free food. Great, small atmosphere. Quick and polite service.

David Parsons

Great food. Always accommodating even when we haven't called for reservations. Southwest Chicken Taco was great!!

Charlie

Great staff they were all excellent. Very helpful and friendly. They were extremely accommodating with my food ingredient questions. The menu is fun and simple. Gluten free kitchen! They make their tacos with corn. There is parking lot around the back. The place is small and popular so a reservation is recommended.

Jeff Boulton

Best tacos!

Andres Soissa

Amazing taco's and fantastic drinks! The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Burro is my new favourite place for gluten free dining!

Vee Hope S

This place needs a review of service and understanding of table times. To deny a table of 1 + child when the restaurant is absolutely empty makes no economical sense. Especially because a mother and child are probably aiming to be in and out. This is unfortunately been a recurring theme. We dined here once successfully and met the owner-had a beautiful time. The service has been lacking ever after.

Chesia Popovici

Best Taco ???? in town! Service felt rushed but post covid can be expected.

Iknow Nuttin

Tacos are delicious. Be sure to come back when we want tacos again.

Tyler Something

Tacos are very good, but i cant get over how small they were for the price.

Christopher Hlywka

Great experience start to finish. Booking was easy, service was great, and food was incredible. Highly recommended.

Britney Wicken

Food was incredible! Will definitely order again. Grant's service was PHENOMENAL! Talk about service! We will be back soon

Mizz LoveLippz

Service was excellent but food is just ok; there could be more protein for the price per taco. Had the nachos, fish taco, achiote chicken and adobo beef. More salsa or sauce would be welcome. $3 is too much for a small serving of guac. Indoor ambience is nice. Washrooms had a couple cockroaches; I hope they don't end up in the kitchen and near any food...

Deknees Wedge (Denise)

Always a joy. Sweet potato was a big hit with our crowd. I've never had a bad taco there.

Luke Heaslip

The staff were excellent. The food was tasty.

Les Marozsan

Extraordinary tacos with an amazing staff and atmosphere. Great selection of beers, fast service. Love this place.

Mike

Amazing tacos and apps. I am vegetarian and there options are amazing. Great cocktails as well.

NurseDiv -

Sweet potato taco and Brussel sprout taco. Order them. You can thank me later

Dannie Quesnel

Cannot say enough about this restaurant. Always come back when im in town. Amazing drinks, tacos, atmosphere and staff. Highly recommend!!

Adam Terlecki

Happy with the food and also the service. Celebrated husbands birthday there and had a great time. We couldn't decide which taco to get so we got all of them. Yummy

Russell Omond

Best tacos hands down, staff are friendly, service is speedy and their rotating selection of taps is solid. Love this place especially in the summer.

Renée Baird

Amazing tacos. Great for dates & gatherings! Tight location though. Hopefully with all the changes downtown Burro can expand/move to a larger location!

Nicole Strandholm

Yummy tacos. Great vegan options. Tasty tequila.

Mitchell

Delicious tacos! Service was fast and friendly.

Calvin Cox

Great little spot with amazing Tacos. We tried the Classic Tacos, Fish Taco and Chicken taco. Each one tasted amazing. Also had the appetizer of Chorizo Foldies. Two great tacos with sausage inside, toppings are plenty. One of the best tacos in a long while, will be definitely coming back here again.

Richard Somers

Meal type

calvin Linde

The staff were wonderful, and the tacos were delicious. My favourite was probably the beef cheek. The fish taco is also very good.

Anurag Saini

While the menu is slightly different than its sister restaurant in Hamilton (The Mule), Burro is the same excellent quality of food, great service, and comfortable ambiance. Since I'm vegan, I usually order their veggie options and have them adjust them slightly, which they do without question. The food is made-to-order with fresh ingredients, and the flavour combinations are wonderful.

Anthony

Super nice staff, lot of flowers around the patio which tend to attract bees but they're harmless. Food was fast and tasted amazing! The chips were super fresh and the cheese sauce, must try!

Emily Phillips

Amazing tacos! Super tasty and enough food for a light lunch. Reasonably priced.

Kyle Bowles

Had an incredible meal tonight, there was a computer glitch with our reservation and the staff was great even though they were so busy. They comped us apps and drinks when the error was completely out of their control. Great staff, amazing food, can't wait to go back.

Hassan Baldawi

The tacos selection is perfect, the waiter Matt was very polite (he man be the manager or owner, I'm not sure). Once I got the hot sauce from them I was able to enjoy my tacos to the max, without the hot sauce it wasnt hot enough for me , but I do eat more spicy food than the average joe, so it may be the perfect level for the average joe.

chriko rogerstan

I've liked everything I've tried here. They change their menu so it's always interesting. Recommended.

Ash Allsop

Love that I can eat without having to worry about if it's actually gluten free. Take anywhere here and they wouldn't know that it is gluten free, or they wouldn't care. It's all so extremely good!

Christine Carreon-Meger

Service was great. Pretty decent music selection (early 90s hip hop). Tacos were good but not out of this world. This is especially the case when you specialize in mostly just tacos. They did not have shrimp tacos or tacos al pastor and were sold out of their beef cheek tacos.

Leen Alramlawi

Best place to go in Burlington if you’re feeling tacos & drinks. Great location for a night out. Fun atmosphere/staff and good selection of food and drinks. Only negative feedback is the portion for the Guacamole is very small. Tacos I tried ranked (most to least): Fish, Brussel Sprout, Hamburger (special menu item), Chicken. We will definitely be back.

Maddie Burella

May be the spot Fresh delicious tacos but the service is what keeps you coming back! Today Grant served us and I have to say by far the best part of the experience even Included the app in for free as a friendly gesture! Phenomenal host who is passionate about YOU the customer experience was a 5/5 the great food was only second to this gentlemans exceptional service!

Gregory Waclawek

If you like tacos, and chances are you do because they're awesome, come here to eat tacos.

who is ADAM

Took us in without a reservation great service great experience

Julie Petrarca

Overpriced and the taste is not good at all. We had the guacamole and chips for appetizer, portion was ridiculously small, they put way too much lime that overpowers the taste, I guess they are trying to preserve the guacamole. We also ordered beef cheek tacos and the meat had no flavor at all, it was all in the juice. I was expecting some kind of grilled chicken meat for the Souvlaki taco but it was deep fried breaded chicken. The flavors were just not right. I guess people think that just putting tortilla with tasteless meat and some sour cream makes a taco.

Shawn Cage

Had a great dinner. Excellent Tacos. I like the ability to order different Tacos. Service was excellent. Small place so reservations are recommended. Will definitely be back.

Robert Sipthorpe

First time there. Great tacos, nice environment, and incredibly friendly wait staff. Ended up eating like 6 tacos cus I'm fat. The chicken taco was my favourite, I suggest that ????

Royce Kim

Great Taco spot.. These guys know what theyre doing.. We ordered the fish, souvlaki, pastor and cauliflower tacos. By far my favorite is the fish taco with second best being the souvlaki ones. Definitely one of the best places for tacos in the GTA.

Nathan Seiling

The patatas bravas was so good. So we're the fish tacos. Quaint little place . Limited but good food. The spicy chicken tacos were a little chewy though.

jared millington

I was with a group of 4 and we all had various tacos, all of them were extremely delicious and unique. Highly recommend! We will be back!

Heather Masterson Brown

Was with a world-travelling friend who had lived in Mexico -- and had previously owned a Mexican restaurant -- when we decided to check the place out. He was "amazed" (not making that up!) at how good the tacos were despite really wanting the caviche (it was unavailable because their stock was down for pandemic-related reasons). Guacamole was great. Service very friendly, cordial, helpful (though servers tended to disappear for varying periods of time -- likely due to the sheer size of the restaurant and the distance to the Brant St patio). Went back the next day and my friend was even more impressed. He's a lover of Mexican fish dishes and swears by the fish tacos. Looking forward to the caviche ... :)

Mark H

Hands down the best taco joint in Burlington. Food and customer service are top notch. I messed up my takeout order and they remade it without hesitation.They cater to those with gluten and dairy allergies as well. Check them out, you won't regret it.

Maegan Austin

Great and tasty tacos, good selection of drinks, and friendly service. The 10 layer dip was super small (portion wise) to what you are pay for. Other than that I would definitely go there again.

Clare Nikulka

Lovely place with some great tacos and service. The bacon wrapped in bacon tacos are amazing so definitely try that out if you eat pork. The whole place is gluten free (if that matters to you)

Jonathan Londono-Urrea

Really recommended for the tacos! Good place and ambience too!

Stefanie J

Delish. Must-try if you’re in the area. And it’s the type of place that’s worth the drive anyhow.

Tony's Classics

The food was okay but incredibly overpriced for the portions you get. The hard shell tacos are no bigger or different from an old El Paso taco shell you’d make at home. I was shocked when my bill for queso, tacos and a few drinks was more than I typically spend for two at The Keg. I feel that neither the food nor the overall experience justified the amount I paid. I’d much rather go to chipotle or burrito boyz to satisfy my taco craving, where I’m getting much better value for my money (tasty food, healthy portions, much lower prices) or indulge on an amazing evening out at The Keg.

Andrew A

Nice little gem in town. Really nice Mexican place. Nice menu to choose from and fish tacos are the best. Yummmmmmy

Scott Wicken

Busy little spot and for good reason. Delish! We'll be going back for sure.

Samantha Hutchinson

Having worked in Mexico City for quite some time, my thoughts on what a taco should be is probably different from those who have never been. These tacos are very good. They're not authentic, but taste very good nonetheless.

Mo Goyal

Came to Burro in Burlington, Ontario on the afternoon of Sunday 08 March 2020 with my family. Walked in the door and was asked if we had a reservation while a white couple breezed through without being asked that question. So, I think that this little Mexican restaurant is for Whites Only. They just approach non whites "differently". I gave them a star because I don't have the option of no star.

Mel W

Fish tacos...a-maz-ing!!! White Sangria...not so much!

Julia Rajic

Tried the cauliflower tacos and they were incredible! Unfortunately there must have been a miscommunication as I received an extra sweet potato taco when I asked for Brussels sprouts but that's all right. The server I had was so good. I can't emphasize enough how friendly, informative and efficient he was. Will definitely return soon and tackle more of the menu :)

Dine in

Emma “EmmaMCD” McDougall

They have a great selection of tacos, bourbon, and tequila. Food is excellent quality. Tacos are fun because they build unique recipes that includes things like cauliflower and broccoli. Finally, nice atmosphere with friendly staff.

Ashlan Potts

Food was great at the mule. Both restaurants won’t take reservations or let you call ahead to put you on the hour long wait list. No where to wait. Not worth it. Will support businesses that like their customers.

Angelus Fernandes

Located on Brant Street in Burlington this restaurant serves great Mexican food. The service is excellent too! We tried Burro Bravas (fried potatoes with hot sauce n sour cream), Brussel Sprout taco, bulldog margarita. Corn tostada and cheesecake. The server was very attentive and ensured we had a lovely experience. She kept recommending the “must try” items to us. For our kid, we tried the cheese quesadilla which was nice as well!

James Nickel

Ato Marten

Great food, friendly staff, and a wonderful patio. Tried several tacos, all were fantastic. Well worth it.

David Black - Unknown Location 1 (UNKN1)

Delicious food ❤️

Stephanie Gingras

Amazingly fresh ingredients lead to "yummily scrumptious" taste! Both take out and patio service are exceptional. We ordered from Burros a number of times during lock down and every experience was 5 stars. If there was a 6th star they'd have it!

Allison Choquette

Always an amazing experience! Great food, amazing staff, great location and the atmosphere draws you in! I was eating there almost daily when I lived in the area! Definitely pay them a visit. Their summer patio is adorable too!

Amazing food and service as always! Everything is gluten free and there are many delicious vegan and vegetarian items The staff is always welcoming and go above and beyond to make certain our vegetarian teens roll out of Burro happy and full!

Christine Peral

Food and service were okay. Expected better for presentation and quality of food, but good to try once

Adrian Shaw

Delicious tacos if that's what you're in the mood for! Not very expensive and very nice atmosphere for what it is. Staff was friendly and the wait time wasnt very long at all for a Monday lunch! Definitely recommend for a quick bite!

Jeff Walters

Good tacos and a nice little patio.

Amy Lefebvre

I am a foodie at heart and traveled the world but love eating great, fun, foodie food at home and the tacos at Burro are outstanding, the service on the other hand is horrible. This was my second time to Burro and the service keeps getting worse. The girl whom looked after our table was extremely rude, never checked in with our table and ignored me on several occasions when I tried to get her attention even though she was staring right at me. The restaurant was busy and I understand times like this can be stressful, but it gives you no right to be rude and take it out on your guests. You could tell she did not want to be there and didn’t care if we knew it. Coming from someone whom has been in the hospitality industry for 20 yrs this was unacceptable. It would be hard to return even though the food is quite good.

For tacos it's great. You feel satisfied without getting overly full. Prices are for each taco and you order as much or as little as you want. There are appetizers as well.

Chris Neves

Tasty and a good place to hit up for some Mexican food. Only reason I didn't nlt give a 5 Star review was because the proteins in the tacos were of room temperature. If food is being prepared earlier it should be kept hot, could be hazardous otherwise.

Sweta Balaji

We had the best tacos and best service tonight. Thank you Burro Staff for a great experience!

Ryan Karatimus

Amazing tacos! Fresh and fabulous! Yucca fries a must. Bar seats....best in the house!

Michael Boyer

Came here once and have always wanted to go back. It is quite difficult to get a table for a large group, but they accommodate as best as possible and it is quite a small (and busy!) place.

Josh Wolfe

My wife and I visited this little nook before heading to a concert in Toronto and it deserves all of the stars. Their staff was friendly, prompt, and great to deal with, the food was beyond amazing, and the decor was interesting. Their prices are about mid-tier for specialty tacos these days but for what you'll get, worth every penny.

Sally Busch

The food at Burro is great but I really have to wonder about their business model. When we were there tonight we got a table after waiting and walking around for 45 minutes. While waiting and eating we watched soooo many people get turned away while tables sat empty and uncleared. They need to be more efficient at clearing tables and moving people off their wait list. Not sure I’ll be waiting again as it doesn’t seem they are interested in serving nearly as many people as want to eat there.

Chris Busch

Great place for a quick date, the food rocks. Also don't let the store front or server appearances fool you. This is not a hipster spot and no one sporting a neck tattoo, reeking of beard oil, will be reading poetry about their vegan tricycle

Matthew Ruscica

Good Spicy flavor!

Sean OGrady

I pretty much go to this place every month. I love the the tacos, and how they get changed up pretty regularly. The drinks are great as well.

Tina Boyes

Delicious Gf tacos

Roisin Brannigan

Great little restaurant. The food was excellent, we had a starter and an assortment of tacos with dessert. My favorite was the original beef tacos. Tacos are pricey but good. Highly recommend ????????

Steven Livingstone

Well done. So casual yet so gourmet. Friendly service. Will come back for sure. Good job guys.

Chelsey Scowen

Good ambiance, good food, good COVID measures. Prices were fair.

PJ Wilson

Quaint restaurant with great taco and associate foods. ALL GLUTEN FREE! Those who don't need to eat gluten free will love the food and won't know any better because the food tastes that good!

Ares Mai

My partner and I had a wonderful time at Burro. We were super impressed by the unique menu and had a great server, Sophie. Her recommendations were spot on! We live an hour away and it was well worth the trip. Best fish tacos we have ever had! The sweet potato taco is awesome!

Chris Robinson

One of my favourite places to eat. I just wish you could order soft shell tacos as well.

Marc Baggetta

Had the bravas supreme. It was tasty but a breakfast size portion. Three others with me had tacos. $5.50 EA but they recommend 2 or 3. Well offer a better deal for 2 or 3. You need at least 3 to fill up on. $18 for glass of red wine. It's only $18.95 on the market. Service was fast and friendly. Just small portions for the prices.

Sunny Shukla

1st time today. Tried takeout - spicy brussel sprouts & daily special: pork belly. Best tacos I've had. Exceptional service. Can't wait to go back.

BinK 18

Usually the food here Is amazing, but today there was an issue with both the taste and texture of the tacos. The taco shells fell apart immediately upon touching and the chicken was so over cooked it had the texture of a paste. There were something off about the flavour as well. I don’t know if the products have changed or it was just an off day. The service was great.

Bethanny D

Disgusting oily food! Would not recommend to anyone. We love mexican food but this is far from being good food.

Karen C-N

BEST TACOS EVER. PERIOD. DELICIOUS. do yourself a favour and go. You’re welcome.

Sarah L

Nice little place for tacos! The hidden patio on the side of the building was great, as were ALL the tacos and drinks. Only regret was not getting the waiter's name to give him a shout-out, service was excellent too. 5/5, will definitely be back.

Tanja Radenkovic

Amazing food. Amazing Service. Highly recommend. Will definitely come back next time I am in town.

Craig Houston

Had a fantastic patio dinner here tonight. Our waiter, Grant, was so enthusiastic and hilarious - by far one of the best waiters we’ve ever had! The food was also delicious and the cocktails were great too! Definitely recommend if you not only want good food, but stellar service too :)

Paul C

Phenomenal tacos. So fresh and light, can't wait to come here again!

Hilary J.

I've now traveled 46 of 50 states and through 5 provinces and Mexico. I was low key on a quest to find the best tacos in North America. Though, a little pricey, the uniqueness of Burro far outweighs that. I enjoyed every taco they offered and they even had a completely GF kitchen which is a huge thing to reduce allergy risk for me. Hands down, the best most unique tacos I've ever eaten.

Sue Pratini

Could have used bolder flavours. Case in point: their 'Classic Taco' is pretty pain ground beef and cheese. A classic taco your suburban mom made you growing up maybe, but not a true classic. The ceviche was also oddly flavoured with cumin (or something similar) that made for a disappointing dish. That said, the sweet potato Taco was good, but I don't see myself coming back here.

Kyle Anderson

I absolutely love this place! Best tacos I’ve ever had in 50 years on this planet! Each bite was a flavour explosion! Great 80’s music being pumped through the speakers, super fast and friendly service, cold beer, top shelf tequila and did I mention best tacos ever!!! My server Dana, who is also the manager, garnered herself a 50% tip for making my day with a brief, but phenomenal dining experience! #schwarzenegger “I’ll be back!”

Mark Ryans

I came here tonight and got the cauliflower and sweet potato tacos, $6 per taco so it’s fairly expensive however it was really good!! We sat on the patio and admired the Mexican ambiance with the graffiti and tequila bottles filled with water. Customer service could be improved but they were quite busy. Our initial hostess actually took our menus at the front door when we entered and we had to share one at the table when we sat down. It made no sense. Other than that it was a good experience and I’ll definitely recommend this place to my friends :) thank you for the vegetarian options- it’s much appreciated ❤️

Honest Reviewer

Favourite and go to spot in town! Great service, atmosphere, cocktails and food! You can put sweet potatoes in tacos!! Can’t wait for our next visit.

Izzy Espinosa

Tried a whole bunch of different tacos with some friends. The classic, fish, chicken and pork belly. All of them were fantastic, but I think the chicken was my favorite. Servers were friendly and nice to chat with. Good vibe inside with it being nicely lit and fun decor. Prices are okay, little on the expensive side for what you get

Cameron Eisses

Delicious tacos. The sweet potato tacos were some of the best tacos I've had in a while. So much flavour packed into a single taco

Chris Nobes

I tried a little bit of everything and honestly don't know what I could have done without; it was all excellent. Next time I may even try a vegetarian option (not really)

Fiona Caprani

We ordered take out and everything was amazing. Nothing was soggy and the staff was super friendly

Kathy Nguyen

Absolutely delicious tacos and drinks! Will definitely go back to check out the rest of the menu.

David Darnell

Ordered the PATATAS BRAVAS and it was amazing. 10/10 would recommend it.

J. Prec

Best. Tacos. Around ! It wasn’t since I came back from LA, I had tasted real authentic tacos like the ones I experienced in LA. I would go out of my way any day of the week for 3 classic tacos from Burro !

J Martin

Amazing corn tortilla tacos! My favourite is the sweet potato taco, and the nachos are amazing. I always need to get myself a jarrito when I come here. The employees are so friendly and inviting.

Heather Pare

Visited for lunch on 06/26/2021 CE (Covid Era). RSVP through opentable. Burro is a Mexican/ Tex - Mex restaurant with a taco focused menu. First time visiting, but would come back due to delicious food, fair price, and attentive service. My humble recommendation to improve the tacos are for the tortillas to be toasted (or offer the choice - If mine was toasted, they were cold by the time they reached the table). For our visit we sampled the following, - Fish Taco $5.50 CAD - The Classic $ 5.50 CAD - Achiote Chicken $5.50 CAD - LGBT (day feature) - Bravas Supreme $14 CAD

John Sonke

Loved, loved, loved! What a great taco restaurant. The pork belly was my favourite. The brussel sprout was a must try. Staff were super friendly, and service was quick.

Michelle K

The menu at Burro can change daily and is limited very similarly to their sister restaurant in Hamilton, The Mule. Thankfully staff at Burro were dressed a little more professionally than at the Mule. While the menu is limited what is offered tasted very good. Had the Jerk Pork & Spicy Beef Cheek tacos and the tiger shrimp slaw, prices for all pretty reasonable. Would like to see this place expand their menu and offer frozen margaritas. Would return if i was in the area but not really worth going out of your way for.

Michelle Amyot

I've had plenty of tacos in my lifetime, and this rates as the best one I've ever been to yet ???????? please make your way to Ottawa ????

Jamison Van Dyke

Excellent service and really delicious tacos. The menu is small, but varied. Great recommendations from our server.

Henry Hu

As a downtown Burlington resident, I’m disappointed to say that I will no longer be frequenting Burro restaurant. I have been many items in the past, which is why I chose this particular restaurant for an important night out with my partner. I’ve only run into petty issues. Understanding that they are very busy lately, I contacted them on Tuesday via Facebook to make reservations for Friday late evening. I was turned away on Facebook, only to be told to send in an email. Yet every other time i have booked to reserve, it’s been on Facebook. First problem. Secondly, I sent an email in which they responded within a few hours, I asked them to please book me in the the latest time slot available. They emailed me back the next day saying the latest is 7:30. I replied saying to thank you, that was great for me, figuring they had already booked me in like I asked them to. An entire DAY later... the very day before my big dinner, they emailed me back saying they were full for the the night. I was absolutely livid... horrible customer service since clearly they filled my 7:30 time slot with someone else, considering two whole days had passed by... also this ALL could have been avoided if they just took the two minutes on Tuesday via Facebook, to book me in. However they beat around the bush and used that two minutes typing time to ask me to email. Not sure what difference it makes, but now my entire evening is ruined on especially short notice, I have no idea where I’m going to go now for this important date. Never again.

Visited Burro for the first time last night. My husband's choice for his birthday celebration (it was his actual birthday). I had made a reservation for 6pm for myself, my husband and our two boys 17 & 11. When I called to make the reservation, I was told from 6 to 8pm - so I assumed they had a seating plan such as an 'a la carte' - not ever having gone to Burro. Our server was great and helpful explaining the menu. Our food and drinks were excellent and it was a great little spot!!! We had just finished our meals and had ordered a funnel cake dessert when to our disappointnent, we were told by our server (at 7:20) that we had to leave as a 7:30 reservation was coming in!! We hadn't even finished our drinks and were offered to have our dessert packed up before we even got it!! I then said no thank you to the dessert and she handed our check. It was $160 before tip!!! Paid, and I did tip!! See ya later Burro!!!! A little dumbfounded, we were ticked to say the least and had to share!!!

Mayur R

My wife and I came for dinner with my brother and sister in law for a wedding celebration and I can’t say how happy I am with the service on top of the food. Molly was absolutely fantastic, Travis the chef was also incredible, we we’re given 4 complimentary margaritas to go, the tacos were delicious! and the service was just excellent. I can’t say enough of how much love we felt tonight. Amazing delicious food, great drinks and even better people serving. We come all the time, but tonight just solidified why we will always come back.

Mike Hudak

Pretty good tacos!

Joe Evens

Service

John Carson

Absolutely delicious and good prices! Appreciated the veggie options. Small but very nice place!

Geneviève

I had the BEST time ever tonight. I had margaritas and tacos in the rain, I couldn’t have been happier. Grant was my server and he absolutely went above and beyond for me. I’m obsessed with every bit of this place and will continue to come here as often as possible xoxo

Liam Jay

first time trying this place. the tacos were very small, and waaay overpriced for the size. the bean taco was decent but it was such a greased up mess. it was leaking all over the box and hands. the guacamole and chips portion for $9 is an actual joke. spent over $30 for two people and not even close to enough food. definitely much better alternatives out there for the price. won’t be back anytime soon.

Shan

Not worth at all. Tacos were not fresh and it looked they were sitting there awhileee before serving. Very over priced for what you get. The experience was whatever . Boxes everywhere. Overall I won’t be back. The food was very not fresh and didn’t taste good and dry.

James Smith

To put it simply Burro is the best restaurant in Burlington for tacos at the time of this review, On my first visit we were seated within minutes, had our drinks in another few minutes and selected a few tacos. This is where Burro impressed me, I've been cooking both as a hobby/profession for nearing a decade and most of the time when I eat food around Burlington (specifical tacos) they lack flavor and taste worse than if I had simply made them myself. Burro is different, the Tacos that I had (Classic / Achiote Chicken / Charred Broccoli & Summer Corn) all were delicious, my favorite was the Classic due to its cheaper price and overall flavor being above average in comparison to many things I have put in my mouth over the years. The Classic also threw me off because it tasted like there was a hot sauce on it but the hot sauce seemed to lack heat and was more of a sweet variant with a very very mild heat that wasn't present for the whole time I consumed the taco but hit me a few minutes later. The one thing I wished they had were entrees of ceviche, their ceviche offerings are limited to one dish that also happened to be a 'sampler' (as described by our waitress) which is a bit of a letdown as Burlington doesn't have many ceviche offerings. Their drinks seem pricey but they are also fairly strong if I had to guess I would put them at around 2oz of liquor which is a larger shot than the average for Burlington which I put around 1oz most places. Burro also has a great patio, tons of shade, a decent amount of space and it's in a cozy little section off to the side of the restaurant. I would highly recommend Burro to any taco lover, now all they need is Taco Tuesday!!

Jill Allen

Delicious tacos and a great atmosphere! We’ll definitely be back

Ontario fishing

Great staff. Tacos were on point!

Kaitlin Pierson

Love this place! Amazing food, drinks and service. We have been multiple times and it never disappoints!

kaytlyn ryerson

Emailed this place numerous times to get a reservation. Never called me back and used the excuse that email must have gone to junk or I have the wrong email. Called in and spoke to a girl named Meghan. She was extremely extremely rude and hung up the phone. Not sure if this is manager or the owner but this individual really would benefit from training on how to speak abd treat clients / customers looking to come to this establishment. On top of all my wife is a gluten free restaurant reviewer. As a result of how rude Meghan was on the phone with my wife present on Bluetooth we both decided to cancel the effort in even trying their menu. We enjoy going out for dinner / ordering pick up snd this is by far the worst experience we have had in years. As a result I would say stay away from this place unless you want to deal with someone who makes excuses for not receiving emails and or needs a hospitality training course to learn customer service.

Gary Cooke

I went to Burro yesterday. Food was phenomenal. Tacos were delicious and fully gluten free. I enjoyed the Greek and fish tacos the most. Full of flavour and the perfect balance. The only thing that was disappointing was the size of the appetizer...I had the guacamole with chips...it was a handful of chips and a scoop of guacamole for $9. I would of like a larger portion for the price...I had a hard time sharing.

S.

Crazy good tacos! Friendly staff, fast service. The guac and margaritas tasted just like Mexico.

Melle Rietveld

Tried getting a table at 9:10/9:15 PM tonight but after waiting at the front door ungreeted, we were told no. Apparently they were not seating anymore tables because the kitchen closes at 9:30. Im sorry what? Doesn't that mean we have 15/20 minutes to order before the kitchen closes? Terrible experience. Won't bother trying again.

Gurb Dhinsa

I think it’s a little on the pricier end for what you get, but definitely a great spot to curb those taco cravings! Tried every taco on the menu and the Brussels sprouts option was definitely a favourite.

Alice J

Great Tacos, a mix of authentic Mexican and food trends.. small menu but everything is done well. Vegan options hard to find & execute in taco restaurants but Burro hits the mark. Good cocktails, beers & always great service and the music is usually well picked too, big up 90s rock. We come a couple times a month & love it.

Jane Ward

Excellent service. Delicious food. Had a great experience here and would return if I was local to Burlington.

James Metcalfe

Always good, one of my too 3 taco places to visit in the burlington/hamilton area

Ryan Desjardins

Unbelievable place for tacos. Great variety and all uniquely crafted. The service is top notch, efficient and friendly. This is my favourite spot for local tacos

K K

As a very picky eater with texture issues, I love love love the tacos at Burro. I can't wait to go back!

Owen Baird

Been here many times and the service, food and drinks are always amazing!

Riley Currie

Great food and good service Meleni was excellent what a place! Top notch! 5 star price was good didn't get sick

Anthony Vasile

Amazing taco's and service! There was a 1 hour wait-list to be seated but it was completely worth it. We went for drinks at the bar down the street in the meantime and Burro will call you when your table is ready. Would come back again!

Rashida Bharmal

Vegan options were perfect!!! Sweet potato and daily special hit the spot. Great spot for date night or tacos with friends.

Douglas Anderson

Good food, really nice atmosphere and good service. Came here a couple times for their tacos, especially for later in the evening. Good tacos in Burlington but I wouldn’t consider it the best.

Justin Wong

Wow this is so good - I haven’t had appetizers like Burro Bravas ….

Mohammad Khan

I come from Hamilton into Burlington specifically for Burro. They are under the same management of The Mule taco joint in Hamilton but it cannot compare to the experience of Burro. Low-key, super trendy inside, friendly staff, amazing selection of craft beer, GLUTEN FREE, and delicious cocktails. Burro is such a gem in the Burlington downtown area. A must visit as patio season approaches.

Abbey Norman

Very slow, took more than 40 minutes for the guacamole. Not acceptable. Maybe you can come here for drinks, which is faster.

Celine Cowie-McKee

Really good tacos, with great vegetarian and vegan options. Margaritas by the pitcher is a bonus! Portions are on the smaller side and it is a bit pricey but the food is tasty and good quality

Alanna Alves

Tacos were good, service was fast. Only complaint was their missed a taco in my pickup order !

Richard MacLean

Would not eat there again. Although the customer service was great. Thats about it, food was below average. Dont waste your money. Save yourself the tummy ache.

Marissa Morgan

Not a fan of the food. Tacos were dry and proteins were cold, taste of food was bland. Excessive use of salt for tacos and tortilla chips. The cheese dip was pretty well liquid. Pricy with cheap portions, expectations of traditional Mexican food did not exist whatsoever. Will be my first and last experience.

Michelle

Fantastic service, High quality tacos! definitely will be back!

Navdeep Virdi

the tacos are amazinggg!!!

Kathleen MacLeod

Great food and awesome staff.

Vic F

best tacos in town with the most friendly staff. and yay for all the vegan options. that brussels sprout taco is my go to.

Paul Tigchelaar

Food was great, it was really expensive though. Tacos are $6 each and an adult can eat 4 to 6 as per what our waiter told us Edited to add in response to comment below from owner: my husband who is average build ate 5 of them easily and said that was a good amount for him. Which cost approx $30 plus tax for just him, plus drinks and dessert. And the waiter told us most people eat 4 to 6 but when he is drunk he will eat about 9 and he was also average size. Also the cookies n cream cheesecake in a jar dessert was delicious

alyssa thompson

Delicious tacos, super friendly staff, decent drinks. We got guacamole and chips as a starter. First round of chips were freshly fried and tasted good. I got three tacos: fish, spicy beef cheek, and classic. The classic was the best, followed closely by the fish. I appreciated the alley seating artwork, it helped freshen up the feel. Overall, a solid little taco restaurant.

Jennifer Bloomfield

Last night we decided to order nachos and a couple of burritos. Wow we’re they delicious. Glad that some local restaurants are running limited menus for pick up. Allows you to feel a little normal when nothing else seems normal. Support local restaurants. They won’t disappoint you.

sheila gillies

Crazy tasty starters & tacos! Pictured here are the brussel sprout and sweet potato tacos (veganized) which are great. Also had the guacamole and refried bean dips to start, definitely recommend!

Meghan Brugess

My husband and I came here for the first time for a late lunch a couple weeks ago and man were we blown away! I have worked in restaurants and hospitality for a very long time and have tried just about everything when it comes to restaurants and Burro very easily makes it into our top experiences of all time. The food was absolutely incredible, we shared the pork belly nachos and then shared 4 of their current tacos and although we each had our favourites, every single one of them was completely delicious in their own right. The atmosphere is great too, although we went on a quiet Sunday afternoon, you could feel the energy and buzz this little gem would have at a busier time. The decor is fabulous and not cheesy and we can't wait to go back in the summer and enjoy the patio with thwir stunning artwork on their outside walls. Top notch for everything, we will definitely be going back over and over again to try the rotating tacos :)

Christina

Great atmosphere and delicious food! A small menu that focuses on quality and only the smoothest tequila. We sat on the patio and loved it

Derek Bravo

Best tacos in Burlington! So good full of flavour. Yummy! Great staff, so friendly. Great price for the quality of food, we need more places like this.

Lesley S

Very friendly staff and a fun casual atmosphere! Small portions but delicious and surprisingly very filling. Would definitely recommend.

Jessica Nicholson

The chicken wings smelt funny! The waitress was mostly chatting to her colleague, the chicken tacos were bland. Beautiful decor, poor food!

Ben Wilson

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! By far the best place to get tacos. Went for this first time on Saturday and will for sure be returning a million times over. Love the vibe, food & the service!

helloojodi

Great drinks, great food, great service... What's not to like? Had the servers recommendations and everything was delicious. The patatas bravas were a welcome treat and were happy to see them on the menu!

Nisa Sh

Sneaky waitress was quick to upsell us other stuff without mention of an extra cost which is fine - but it was just sneakier than I’m used to and I eat out often! Smaller tacos than most places. They tasted good but would t write home about them… perhaps I’m from the big city with higher standards

Natasha Sahni Chawla

Today was the second time we visited Burro. I would have made my review on our first visit but not having a reservation (highly recommended) we kind of ate and ran as they had many reservations. We came back today and I can't express our appreciation for the food and service we received. The watermelon salad was a real work of art from the kitchen. We had chicken, beef, and fish tacos all were excellent. All our food was presented beautifully. Nice to sit on the side patio as it is covered with red awnings to give shade from the sun.Thanks to the kitchen and servers for a great time.

Sanjeev Patra

Good tacos good atmosphere. A few different tacos for selection. Would be nice if they had a tuna tostada of some sort. Cozy little spot. Nice patio in the summer located downtown Burlington so need to find parking. Busy on the weekends!

Sandra Lynsdale

I visited this place seeing the good reviews on Google but I was extremely disappointed. We ordered the 10 layer Dip with chips, fish taco, buffalo cauliflower taco, draught beer and Don Julio as drinks. First impression the quantity is very less for the price. For $11 the 10 layer dip is in a very small cup where I am unable to enjoy any of the authentic flavors of a 10 layer dip. Next for $6 we just get one taco which was very surprising for me. Never seen a single taco served before. Flavors of the tacos were good but really unhappy for what we get for the price. No value for money and this is not even an upscale restaurant. Spent over $40 and I felt I just had an appetizer and left me hungry. I don't usually write negative reviews but this one really disappointed me.

sobhi hazzouri

This was our go to Mexican restaurant in the neighbourhood and it was amazing, awesome flavours, and fresh but lately it has been different. We normally get one of each taco, wings, and one or two other dishes. Last night, the taco shells were very stale and disappointing. We love the wings from here as they are very small compared to other places. In the past, we usually get 10 wings but recently it has gotten less and less. Last night we got 6 and were told that it was weighed. To us, it looks the same and also 6 is quite different from 10 considering the cost. In general, portions feel inconsistent and I hope the quality of food doesn't change.

James L

Great spot for lunch. Patatas Burro, tacos and beer on hot summer afternoon. All were delicious out on the patio.

Taye F

The best tacos. Place is a little small but it's quaint. It's conveniently located on Brant Street. The drinks are really good too but slightly expensive. Tacos are a good size it extremely delicious. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back.

Always amazing food and drinks with incredible service.

carolina velasquez

Food tastes super good, staff are friendly. Atmosphere is really cozy. Highly recommended.

Hossam Aboukoura

My boyfriend and I visited Burro for lunch the other week. We loved all the tacos we ordered (2x classic, 2x chicken, 2x sweet potato), The sweet potato was my favourite and definitely one of the best tacos I've ever had!

Alexander Yap

brussel sprouts taco so good

Joanne Beck

I had the fish taco and the Brussel sprouts taco; excellent!! Margaritas were awesome too. Our server, Melissa was very helpful and attentive. Highly recommend.

Danielle Howarth

One of my first dining out experience since Covid and would not recommend. Arrived at the restaurant and waited ten minutes before anyone even acknowledged me. While waiting I kept hearing the waitress dismissing people and telling them their time was up. We ordered our tacos and drinks and had not even spent an hour at the table before the waitress awkwardly told us the next reservation was there and we needed to leave. There were still prior tables dining that had been seated prior to us. It was a friend’s birthday and we did not even have a chance to chat because we were rushed off. I can see if we had overextended our stay but it had not even been one hour. Would not recommend unless you enjoying being rushed away.

Itz Me

So much fun. Brussel Sprout taco is supreme! As was the cinnamon tequila!!

S Corben

Their interesting ingredients combos for tacos was fantastic. Crispy brussel sprouts taco and chorizo taco were my favourite. They also have some different cocktail options including this winter berry inspired one that was delicious. Gluten free friendly.

Carolyn Rideout

Tried eating at Burro today for the first time and were met with utter disrespect from the apparent manager. We arrived around 12:30pm, a group of two and a baby stroller. The restaurant was pretty empty. One of the larger tables on the right hand side of the restaurant was vacant as well as all of the high top tables on the left hand side. The hostess was very pleasant and seemed new to the job. She said she had to check with the manager to see if they could accommodate the stroller. After speaking to the manager, we were refused service!! Completely shocked (since the place was half empty) we asked if it was possible to push over one of the high top tables slightly and we would tuck the stroller in that spot. The hostess said she had to check with the manager again. We witnessed the conversation taking place about our table and the manager was completely annoyed and angry...standing with her and on her hip with a face full of attitude, huffing and puffing and rolling her eyes as she reluctantly shifted over one of the tables, which took a matter of seconds to do. She also had to prove a point by taking the menu which appeared to be attached to a clipboard and slam in on the the table as hard as she could...with one last eye roll, of course. I guess that was a way to let us know what a huge inconvenience we were to her. Not only did this make us feel so unwanted and uncomfortable, it also showed other patrons (the majority, if not all of the people in there witnessed what happened) that common courtesy and basic respect and severely lacking. I told the hostess how uncomfortable we were made to feel and we left. The food may be good (I’ll never know), but service above all else, always matters most.

Devon Morton

Amazing food! Service was great, their patio is great for rainy days too! We will be back for more nachos!

April Terreau

Literally just a “quick bite” the food was subpar, quesada quality for high end restaurant pricing... the portions are tiny for the price tag. Spent $42 (with tip because the customer service was awesome) and was so disappointed when we opened the food to tiny the tiniest meatless wings and the quesadilla was dry and tiny it was $14... won’t be coming back sadly.

Very good tacos. Friendly staff and a fun vibe. Loved it.

Jiggly Puff

Food is always delicious, and staff are very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend the chorizo nachos, and bacon wrapped bacon tacos!

jonas held

Food was great but small portions for the price, had to wait a long time for service.

Christina DeClerico

Very good beef tacos! Nachos were good but a bit too salty for me.

A Ryan

Definitely have to swing by burros if your near the Burlington Waterfront. Quick and fast service!! Can't wait to swing by again.

The three best servers are grant, i think is his name and 2 other ladies working tonight. The tacos are out of this world and the drinks are great! The only thing is sometimes the wait sucks and they need to grow a little in size. But its tough, cause the size adds to the wonder of Burro. Ive been here twice this week....planning to hit it up a third time. Giving the mule a huge run for their money.

We had the classic and chicken tacos, along with a plate of nachos. At first glance I thought that the tacos were a bit pricy. But... They were delicious. They are worth the price. They were not the regular, authentic tacos, but delicious versions. They have a gluten free kitchen and vegetarian options. The wait staff was quick and kind.

This is an interesting place to try. People were really nice and the service was amazing. We had a nice conversation which brought a friendly vibe to the establishment. They have quite a selection of Tacos to choose from and the flavour tasted great. We had the Brussel Sprout taco and although the flavours of the sauces were good, the brussel sprout was quite flavourless and was not soft enough to bite into comfortably. They were quite hard still and so they slid around the taco and was hard to eat. Overall its a great place to try but maybe go for the Fish taco instead.

Good, but have had better tacos. A little on the pricey side for the value. I liked their menu and the components for a great meal is there, however my tacos were just decent. The execution was lacking. The ceviche was excellent... but everything else was just ok

Some of the best tacos I've had. Compared to other places it feels like Burro stuffs their tacos with lots of ingredients (which is a good thing). I go out of my way to drive here and eat tacos.

Sat on the patio, the servers were very knowledgeable and friendly, great environment and amazing quality tacos. Would definitely come back again

Phenomenal. Great atmosphere, the service was fantastic. The food was amazing, and practically no wait time. We were seated straight away, our server came over explained the menu, answered our questions and promptly took our order. The food was brought our quite quickly, despite it being busy. It was hot and fresh, and delicious. Next time we'll be ordering one of every taco. Of the ones we ordered, we would order each of them again. It will not be long before we return.

Booked outside by mistake so only stayed for drinks since it was cold and inside was booked since it is super small inside. Friends had recommended it and the service was exceptional. We will go back and book inside

Nice place, first time visit, loved it, will definitely visit again.

This is a super cool restaurant!! If you are not one for spicy food it may not be for you. I feel they could also add some burritos and some other non taco dishes. Vibe is casual and super chill, which I like. Wait staff is the best!

Got seated right away outside, but it took 15m for a server to arrive. The staff was friendly and polite. The original and spicy cheeky were to my taste buds just ok... However others may love it. Won't be coming back but it was a decent place for a small bite.
