Fresh, quick and decently priced. Big Fat Burrito has come to be one of my favourites in the city. I love the Yam Burrito so much I never deviate and still have yet to try their other ones or tacos.
Open late, this location is a godsend when you're in the mood for after gig food that isn't gross. The crowd of boozy folk can be a deterrent at times, but staff are fantastic and handle them well.
There are a couple of seats by the window at this location, but it's generally a take out joint. I like that their small is pretty substantial yet you're still able to walk home while eating it without it going everywhere. All in all, burrito yay! -

I'm a big burrito fan and always like to try different places. I have been meaning to try Big Fat Burrito for awhile now. I stopped by last night and tried the small steak burrito. I had everything on it except jalapenos, hot sauce and guacamole. The burrito was the perfect size, but a bit pricey. I was not impressed with the taste of the burrito at all. It was quite bland and the steak was pretty dry. The staff seemed like they were trying to rush everyone out of there, which is probably why the burrito wasn't pressed enough, leaving it kind of soggy. That was my first and last experience at Big Fat Burrito.

A few nights ago, I decided to check out the places app on my phone and stumbled upon bfb! I love burritos and thought let's give it a chance! The staff was so friendly and the burritos delicious. I got the #1 sauce but I'd recommend a different number sauce for others who want a really spicy burrito, ,mine wasn't too hot at all, but still good. I got the small and was stuffed! I loved how all the veggies in my burrito were in huge chunks, crunchy and fresh! One thing about them though, kinda hard to find! Although the building is painted in this wacky mural, there is one little sign that says big fat burrito on it! So just look for the crazy building face with crazy colors! Overall great and can't wait to go back again!

Large pulled pork after a night of drinking is a very good thing. Unfortunately I tried the same burrito sober and it was average.
I do like the customizable options that the store offers, as well as a variety of hot sauce options that are pretty good. Sauce 2 and 4 are both stellar.
The staff are friendly and laid back, especially when dealing with the crowd of young people strolling in from lee's palace next door.
Good place for a quick bite and a large is more than enough to satisfy even large appetites. -

My opinion of the food at this location goes along with my review of the Kensington Market location. I just wanted to make a special note about the staff at this takeaway-only BFB. I've dropped in here late night to grab a post-drink burrito and each one of the staff there is on fire, dealing with the multitude of drunken orders with grace and ease. It's a small place, and gets crowded with college kids full of too much beer, yet BFB still do okay.
Thanks for the late night snack and the smiles guys!
[Side note: I know it's awesome that the Annex now has a BFB, but I do look at it wistfully and wish it had some seating like the market location. Ah well!] -

Kensington Market burrito institution Big Fat Burrito recently opened a new outpost out front of Lee's Palace. It's an absolutely brilliant location that will, I'm sure, bring in tons of business for Big Fat Burrito and it has also improved the look of Lee's Palace. Personally, I wish this was a Burrito Boyz/Bandidos, but I settle for any decent burrito place to break up the monotony of sushi and falafel places on Bloor.
The space is small and it's more of a takeout joint, although they do have a counter with 3 seats. Prices are high, but on par with other burrito places in the city.
I had the large Yam Burrito ($8.50), which was a decent size and left me full but not stuffed. The yam is a really nice touch and, I believe, unique to Big Fat Burrito. The other toppings are all decent, but I feel the burritos are a little bland. They just don't have the same great flavour as Burrito Boyz.
I'd like to see an improvement in rolling technique because my burrito started leaking half way through. Also, I asked for my burrito spicy and didn't taste any heat at all.
A great addition of an above average burrito joint to Bloor. I'd like to see Big Fat Burrito up their game a little, though, and really break out of the pack of average burritos purveyors. -

I've been here a couple times to grab a quick taco, and they're amazing. The tacos are inexpensive, tasty, and big! Sure is a lot better than taco bell. At $2.50 each, the beef taco costs less than a hotdog from a street vendor, and it's much more satisfying.

this place is great value! a small burrito (under $10) would be considered filling but i have seen people eat larges (around $12). the hard-shell tacos (around $2.50) are simple but yummy. the people are so nice too. last night i was really hungry and said "i'll have one of everything!" and he said "okay!", no hesitation, no irritation. and then i asked, "how's the pulled pork?" and he said "amazing", "really?", "yes." so i tried something new, and he was right, it was amazing. it's a great little chain especially if you need something [very] filling on a budget. 5 levels of hot sauce to choose from. all the fixings you could want. next time i will remember to ask for no rice because i find it to be a waste of valuable burrito space in my stomach.
