Honestly delicious burritos! Fresh ingredients! Way to expensive almost $13 for a small burrito! Also there is a blonde lady(I think she's the manager) she always wears one glove. Touches the cash and whatever else with the same bare hand that she makes your food with. Yuck! Other than that yummy food

Best Burrito in Oshawa
August 26, 2018

Love Jimmy Guacos!! In my opinion best Burrito in Oshawa! Great quality and great sized! I have tried every other spot in Oshawa at least once and nothing compares.

Nothing to rave about or to go out your way.
Meat was extremely dry, and the portion wasn't very large.
Wouldn't make a trip out there or really honestly recommend to friends. There are a lot of better choices available!
This is definitely not a Chipotle Chain!

Very good fresh Mexican. Made up while you wait and you chose the fresh ingredients. Portions are large and prices reasonable. A very casual eatery. We will be back!

I love Jimmy Guaco's, the food is fresh and delicious but today I had a bad experience, it wasn't the food although my burrito was cold because she didn't take the time to heat it up property it was the service, she was rude and made me feel like I was a total inconvenience.

I really like this place so I hope the managers at Jimmy Guaco's (Oshawa) take this as constructive criticism. I wanted to email this to management but could not find contact information online:

I ate at this located the week of June 5th. The rice was so crunchy it was inedible. This is unacceptable in a burrito place, especially when the bowl I paid for was around $17.00. Also, the sweet... more

I need to start this off by saying that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jimmy Guaco's. However, last night a few of us hit up Jimmy's about 20 min before closing. We were informed by our server that they closed soon and were totally fine with taking our order to go. It was clear from the jump the young man behind the counter was angry as hell he had to serve us. The look on his face was pure hatred. He was... more

Very good place for Buritos and Tacos

Jimmy Guaco's used to be the best.  They ran the town with their burritos.  Though it seems now, the owner has opted for cheaper quality food for higher price.  Last time I went in I noticed that they had changed the quality of their ingredients (specifically the cheese..it was that hard, shaggy long square "grated" cheese instead of the original stuff). I went in around 9pm on a night when... more

I was in Oshawa to see a customer and used yelp to find this place and the reviews are accurate. Nice little place and the food was excellent. I had a burrito with chicken, and all the fixings. The final grilling in the panini grill made it that much bette with a crunchy tortilla shel and nicely warmed but not too hot interior. I will seek it out the next time I am in the area.

Jimmy G's is good but inconsistent with their quality. I have had some great burritos but some really sloppy ones too. It's also like $10 for a small burrito

Damn that's good s@!t.

On a chilly day, a bite into a steaming hot burrito from Jimmy Guaco's will set you right. Or any day, really.

The burritos here are the s@!t - the ingredients are fresh and plentiful (including the guac, at no extra charge!) and the sauce hits the spot. The steak is particularly good, with better quality meat than I would have expected for burrito filling. Be warned,... more

We stumbled upon this chain and loved it! The best thing to order are the burritos.

I liked this place a lot better than the typical burrito places. For example, I was impressed with how the fish and shrimp burritos are actually cooked to order. The fish is deep-fried to perfection and wonderfully crispy. There are also more salsas (mango, yum!!!) and sauces available and they don't charge... more

Honestly the best place ever for quesadila. I have been to so many Mexican resturants but this place.. I had the chorizo quesadila.
Freshly chopped veggies.
Only one thing was that the the chorizo meat was a bit too oily for me as there was oil all over my box, but otherwise it was so extremely satisfying and a must for all burrito lovers to try it.

Guaco's has been a fairly good burrito place since it opened. Friendly service and average burritos. Whenever I go there I end up getting the Jimmy G because the chicken is far to bland.I dislike that they raised prices and don't let you have as many of the salsas as you want.

I used to live in downtown Toronto so the quality of burritos that Jimmy Guaco's had to compete against was set pretty high. I tried a few burrito places in Oshawa and this place is still my favorite. Great fresh ingredients, nice big serving sizes, good prices. I will definitely be back.

Chose this place because of the reviews...but they must have been talking about some place else. We ordered 3 items. The chorizo burrito was mediocre. The chicken quesadilla fell apart because there wasn't enough cheese to melt it together. The nachos were worse than what you would receive from a ballpark vendor. Extra cost for guacamole.
Bathroom was clean but no paper towel to dry hands.

Went went before the concert Saturday at the GM Centre. It wasn't that busy and it took a while to get our food. The portions seem to be smaller here now and the food quality isn't the same. Might give it another try. The one women working was also very pushy. If you want customers to return, be friendly.

Great tasting burritos. They also have bowls and Salad options. Beef, pork, veggie and fish. Gauc is included and super tasty.

There is a small dining area in the back.

Jimmy Guaco's had a nearly a perfect rating on Yelp so I just had to come here and try it out. Good news: It stacks well with the other popular chain burrito places such as chipotle, mucho burrito, and burrito boyz.

Had the burrito in the bowl and there was just so much food there. It was $11 but it was so worth it! We ended up sharing the entire thing. The amount of toppings is insane. All... more

Best burritos around ! Ask for chips on the burrito and it's heavenly ! I always get the pulled pork sweet potato and it's so big I can barely finish. It's a small restaurant with a nice outside area to sit in the summer months. Eat here almost every week!

Just as good, if not better than the heavy hitters downtown Toronto. Plus guacamole isn't extra! How can you go wrong? Fresh and delicious toppings and a number of meat options and combinations. My favourite is the Jimmy G. Every burrito should contain corn chips! The staff is always friendly and service is quick.

Amazing Burritos. Enough said. Fresh toppings, flavourful meats, fish and shrimp. All other items (tacos, quesadillas) are good as well. The only thing that I would add is a liqour license to sell some Mexican beer to go with their food. Open late Sat. Nights. Not stingy with the guac!!!!!

It is def a place to go. Great food. The burritos better than anywhere else. Something did change there in the last year or so. Menu got smaller. Unsure. The staff, could be a little more pleasant. They seem a little annoyed that you are there. But they are making food what do you expect.
But I will go back and have been back a bunch of times

By far my favourite fast food place and pretty much one of the only things Oshawa should be good for!!!

I only wish there were more locations!! I believe this place to be a founding leader of the now popular burrito franchises popping everywhere . The fresh condiments and flavourful food made onsite distinguishes itself from the copycat chains and can't be beat!!

Gross food for a high price...

The food was just gross, I started feeling sick and couldn't finish my burrito, so I only ate 2/3rds of my burrito before just giving up. Once I stopped eating it and started eating something else later on, I felt better, so it was the burrito's fault, somehow. I think it just tasted so bad that my body just wouldn't let me eat it all, even though my brain said... more

The best burrito I have ever had and will ever have. The crown jewel of Oshawa.
I go here all the time as it is one block away from class and it always makes the day 100% better. The best fast-mexican-food that you can get, and better than a lot of mexican sit down restaurants as well.

I tried to eat here, but the food is rather expensive and tastes a little too processed, as if everything has chemicals.

The guac is awesome, which is important to me - and you don't pay extra for it. Prompt service, friendly folks, nice little place they have with tasty food. I like the more purist real authentic Viva Burritos around the corner too - but I can support multiple burrito suppliers in town I think.
