Review from Hina Q.

This was my "go-to" spot for fast food. No matter what time of day, during lunch or coming home from a party at 1am, this was the spot that would come to mind when I wanted something to eat. I was never a burrito person let alone even knew about this place when it first opened. I only heard of this place from friends. Now I know why burrito boyz is so popular.
The burritos here are amazing! They are made fresh to order and made right in front of your eyes. I usually get the shrimp burrito but have had the fish ones as well. When they opened new, they would not measure the amount of toppings they put on the burrito. Now I have noticed that they place the burrito on a measure. That is the only reason I have given them 4 stars. I love the food and it is always cooked properly. The staff are professional but not always friendly...that depends on who you get or what time of day it is. Regardless, it is the food that matters most and that is undeniably the best. -

I've recently read a few back-and-forths from people who either praise Burrito Boyz till the cows come home, or from those who not only find them overrated as hell, but almost seem offended by that fact.
Having not tried them before, but noticed they opened a location in B-town, I thought I'd give them a shot, as I love me a good burrito.
I'm just going to get the bad stuff out of the way. The lineup not only blew, but was completely incoherant. I couldn't tell if guys in the corner were waiting to figure out what they wanted to order, were waiting on an order, or had already ate and were hanging out. I'll go so far as to say that having any kind of table situation in a place like this is ridiculous. It only adds confusion and crowding. Get your food and get out, just as you would in Sonny's a few doors down.
I'm not going to complain about the wait for the food, because I'd rather it not be rushed. I will however complain about the attitude I received when I tried to get extra guacamole on my burrito, not realizing that you have to let them know when placing your order, so they can charge extra. Apparently i should have noticed the tiny awkwardly-placed sign noting such things. Oh well.
As for the burrito itself, for 8$ I got chicken, and it was huge, and I'd chosen many of the decent selection of items. Once I was out of there, things seemed much sunnier, and I could actually eat my burrito.
The verdict? Delicious! I refuse to argue authenticity, as I'm sure it's not, and I'm not a burrito expert by any means, but it was still the best burrito I've had in a long time. Perhaps when I try some of the other high-rated burrito places, I may change my mind. Until that day, I'd recommend BB!Listed in: B-Town!, Late Night Eats

Overrated junk.
It blows me away how Torontonians have such poor taste in food. How this place remains to be popular and opening more locations than a McDonalds is beyond me. The meat is underseasoned, low quality, and full of gristle. I've actually bitten into a BONE in the chicken burrito which was the final straw for me, after almost chipping a tooth. Calling this a "staple" of any sort is quite the claim, and I almost feel bad for you if this is something you're eating so regularly. You can do MUCH better than this, people. Give me a break. If you at least want semi-authentic flavors then go to El Sombrero in Mississauga. If you want a sloppy burrito full of junk food, cooked by pimply faced teenagers playing techno music, then Burrito Boyz is the place for you. -
Review from Johnathan N.

Burrito Boyz is not, despite claims I've heard to the contrary, particularly authentic Mexican food, but it is awfully tasty and seeing them branch out into the burbs is really great news.
Long a staple of Toronto's club district, Burrito Boyz (and now, since the owners parted ways, Burrito Banditoz) locations offer a very simple menu of takeout burritos that are flavourful and filling. The beef is the obvious choice but, while it is delicious, I recommend exploring the pulled pork they recently added to their menu or, if you're willing to trust me and give it a try, the Halibut. If meat is not your cup of... meat, the bean & cheese is a stalwart and capable companion.
By and large you won't go wrong putting everything on it - their salsa has some heat, but not a ton, and their veg is consistent and fresh. The only thing I might hold back on is the burrito sauce, a runny mess that adds flavour, but also slop.
Veterans of the Toronto locations will remember the chaos of the ordering process - go here, tell them what you want, they give you a number, stand in another line, remember your number, tell that guy what you ordered as well, get a card, &c. Charming though it is, franchising seems to have brought some rationality to the process. The Brampton location takes your order once, gives you a numbered receipt, and has ample waiting room while your burrito is prepped and thrown on the griddle.
Not the best burrito I've ever had, but almost certainly the best takeout burrito in Brampton, really consistent, and bonus points for setting up shop a block east of the Taco Bell. -

I was out in the west end of town recently and although I am not a Mexican food lover my friend insisted that I try one of Burrito boyz famous sandwiches. I had a large halibut (i love fish) and did not expect much from the meal but I must say my friend was correct, it was a fine meal at a good price. I will eat there again when I'm in Brampton. I was mildly irritated with the wait time but the food was worth it. Skeptic is now a fan. I even brought a small one home for my wife. Thats my two cents.

Never ever am i disappointed by this place, the owner and his brother are two young guys and do there best to provide a great product.
I have had beef, Chicken, Halibut and Shrimp.
Halibut is the best by far and the others were good, i lay a little low on the beans extra burrito sauce and the Halibut Burrito is shocking how good it is.
Place gets really busy on the weekend. -
