After the Bar Perfection!

No better place to sop up a night of drinking then Burrito Boyz. The Burrito is the size of a small baby and no matter which you get its delish! I recommend the Halibut burrito!

Burritorific!

I have been to Burrito Boyz a number of times and it is always amazing. Their burritos are by far some of the best in the city. I always get the soy meat burrito and it is fabulous. They have plenty of options for toppings and the size of the burrito will not leave you hungry. The service is always satisfying and I never leave unhappy. It is a cute, small, fast and perfect for when you are on the go. The cost is affordable and what you get for the price is fantastic. I highly recommend dropping by for a bite!

"Epic" "well-balanced" burritos "the size of your arm" at "bargain prices" make this "legendary" Mexican chainlet the city's Best Bang for the Buck; "so-so" decor and "cramped" tables mean many take it to go, and despite "fast, efficient" service, "insanely long lines" abound (especially "during lunch and late nights"), but "addicted" fans say it's "well worth any wait."

Some say the best burritos in the city. Now with three locations, Burrito Boyz still makes the burritos - grilled, pressed and made to order - just like they've always done in their flagship sub-level location on Peter Street. Word to the wise - go for the chicken or fish and stay away from the ground round.

Wow, now that was a burrito! I've been here once on a quick trip to Toronto. Good anytime but ideal as late night food. There's a great range of burritos including fish and, I think, veggie options. I had a halibut burrito, after all halibut is the king of fish!

Takes a while for you to get your burrito (about 15 - 20min) but it's fresh off the grill. The tortilla is nice and crispy, well worth the wait if you have time. Comes in two sizes, the large is about the same size as the chipotle burrito. It's also cheaper than chipotle...so that's a plus

Consistently the best burrito in Toronto. They grill the burrito into a magnificent roll of gooey, flavourful deliciousness. This place blows Chipotle out of the water; I have never understood why people enjoy eating cold burritos. The lines at Burrito Boyz can be long but they are definitely worth the wait. Surprisingly the soy burrito is fantastic as well.

Burrito Boyz will never fail me.

Never really thought of myself as a fan of burritos until I gave this place a try. Portions are HUGE, ingredients are fresh and cooked to a T.

TIP: If you want your burrito to taste as if it fell straight from heaven, go after a night out - yeah everything may taste better after you've had a few drinks in you but THIS is the ULTIMATE late night "snack".

First off the food is amazing and the staff is great! I loved everything about this except for the loudness and disorganization of the experience. If they better streamlined the ordering process (yes you can phone in ahead but that only partially works) then this place would easily get a perfect rating.

Highly recommend this place, just not when it is really busy.

I don't eat burritos often but when I do I swear by their halibut burrito with all the fixings. Portions are huge (I always get the small). Don't get intimidated by the lines, the food comes out quickly despite how packed it always is.

Seriously, best burritos in downtown Toronto, and the best Burrito Boyz shop in Ontario.

Burrito Boyz prides itself on being authentic Mexican. Being from southern California, where there are authentic Mexican restaurants on every corner, I can definitively say this isn't it. That's not to say it's bad. It's hearty and fresh, and both the burrito nor the quesadilla are pretty decent, though they taste nearly identical. But Mexican this isn't.
