Review from Seb A.

Let me tell you a story about this place. In autumn 2009, I walked in here one day during a break from my classes at Concordia. I asked the clerk what was good and he gave me some suggestions. I tried the sweet potato burrito and it was delicious. So delicious that that autumn I went to Burritoville two or three times a week and tried everything on their menu.
After having been there for about a month, one of the clerks (who had learned my order by heart and knew where I liked to sit) called me over to talk to him. He said, "Let me show you something real quick." He walked me to the upstairs area and to the stereo. He showed me how the stereo worked and told me that I could choose any cd I wanted to and play it whenever I liked (save when a band was playing of course). He also told me I could play the piano whenever I wanted. "If anyone has any problem with you playing the piano or with your taste in music, come find me and I'll fix the problem," he said. "Treat this like your stereo and play what you like."
Needless to say, this is the best customer service I have ever received at any establishment. It doesn't hurt that the food is nothing short of amazing. It's usually quiet enough in there to get some decent studying done but still lively enough to have a good time chatting and laughing with your buddies. They host live shows as well, though I haven't gone to one yet.
I don't go there as often anymore (after all, I can't eat ONLY Mexican food), but this place will always have a special place in my heart.
P.S. You haven't lived until you've tried their sweet potato burrito with guac with a side of their incredible salsa. -

Great vegetarian place in Montreal. The selection is limited but the quality is great and most of the food is organic.
The restaurant is placed in an old house which gives it a real authentic feel.
Service was great, and friendly. -

I started going to Burritoville when I lived in NDG many years ago, they were located on Sherbrooke at the corner of Regent at the time. I've since moved downtown and lost track of Burritoville. Luckily, they moved downtown too and I recently rediscovered them at their 'new' location.
They've got a great all vegetarian all Mexican menu and is they are the only place in Montreal that I've found where you can get a Burrito the size of your forearm.
Great food at a great prices. Enjoy! -

Beautiful 19thC building with lovely wood, high ceilings, warm colours, yummy cheap vegetarian and vegan food. Order form the counter in the back and they'll bring it all out for you - I like the sweet potato taco trio with chips, salsa, guacamole and a McAuslan oatmeal stout, personally. The service can be a little slow but the staff are so friendly and community oriented it's never bothered me to chill in line at the counter and chat with them while I wait. There is free wifi but it's been super spotty in my experience. This is a Concordia haven so don't be surprised by the young crowd or the oh so earnest student art on the walls.

When someone first told me about this great "vegetarian mexican" joint, i thought they had eaten the worm in the tequila bottle. How can mexican food be good without it dripping with meat ?
I'll tell you how.
Roasted effing vegetables, black beans, sweet potato wrapped in a warm tortilla served with fresh salsa. This thing could keep me vegetarian forever. I forget all about anything else i've ever eaten when i'm in the middle of this thing.
For less than $8.00 you get a full, fresh, made-to-order meal that is walk-friendly and flavourful.
A must! -

One of my go-to-places if I'm hungry and downtown. Warm and cozy atmosphere, nice staff, and great prices (with taxes in)...also a great place for carnivores like me to take vegetarian friends without feeling all "ug, vegetarian food"
Fave meal: sweet potato burrito, chipotle chips and rasberry lemonade. You can't beat it! -

My brother recently moved to California and has since been relentlessly recounting details of Mexican cuisine to me over the Internet. After a number of chat sessions that left me salivating, and mildly confused, I was excited when a friend suggested going to Burritoville.
The vibe at Burritoville is somewhat that of a contemporary urban hippie co-op. The atmosphere is homey, and comfort is valued over glitz. The food is vegetarian, and attention is paid to a vegan or alternative diet. The walls are a sunny yellow, and the furniture is welcoming in its imperfections. If I hadn't been right beside Concordia, I may have thought I was in a café on the plateau.
The restaurant promotes healthy and environmentally-friendly eating, using local, organic ingredients, ecological take-out containers, and practicing composting. The food is Mexican, with some innovative twists and delicious atypical choices. The sweet potato burrito was my pick, and I was impressed: A whole-wheat flour tortilla, stuffed generously with sweet potato, apple, black beans, rice, salsa and a variety of seasonings. It felt hearty and healthy, and tasted amazing.
Burritoville offers a large selection of drinks, some beers, and homemade ice tea, lemonade, and raspberry lemonade. Various sides are available in addition to the tacos, burritos, and quesadillas: a soup of the day, tortilla chips, and a few salads, such as quinoa. The meals are inexpensive, portions are sizeable, and the service is friendly. -

I found it via Tripadvisor when I looked for restaurants close to my hotel because I can be lazy and I accept that :) Awesome find. Idk what was going on with me this past weekend but I totally sucked at picking out places to eat and Burritoville, aside from Sofitel room service, had the best food of my entire trip.
Really dig the atmosphere. They play mellow music (Iron & Wine on my second trip) and there is beautiful/interesting/weird art on the walls. The gentleman behind the counter was there on both my visits (welcomed us back the second time) and he was helpful and friendly, as were the other staff. Very pleasant :) Like a Canadian version of an East Village spot, complete with patrons you would see milling around St. Marks. Saw a sign that said they have Open Mic on Mondays and when I was there on....Friday(?) they had a live band setting up....good stuff.
Sweet Potato Burrito was crack. Seriously delicious. The reason I came back for more. My sister got the Chili burrito and liked it but said it was too spicy (not for my taste buds...how do i know? i finished it for her ^_^). Not crazy about the quinoa...it was too light and fresh for me which isn't even a relevant complaint lol, I just like my quinoa to be heavier and more savory. Drinks were yummy, I tried the raspberry lemonade and we had the root beer. Didn't find it expensive at all, but maybe that's cuz I'm a tourist and not really privy to the places that sell good food for less than $12. I would def come back here on my next trip to Montreal.
Sidenote: the dudes who work here look like hipster models. Actually, most of the men in Montreal do. Whats up with that? It's freakish how many handsome men are walking around that city. -

After a few hours at the Museum of Fine Arts checking out the amazing Jean Paul Gautier exhibit (go there ASAP while it's still around!)
Menu looked healthy so we trodded upstairs and ordered 2 chili burritos with chips and salsa and 2 local beers. The burritos came out piping hot and fresh clearly grilled and stuffed with brown basmati rice, fresh tomatoes, spiced beans and cheese. Before I knew it I had devoured the entire thing in 2 minutes lol. I should mention this is a vegetarian place (i love meat but the burrito was so good I didn't mind the least)
Definitely would go back! -

Delicious and healthy, with good music, art, and feel-
A little bit pricey, but definitely a worthwhile meal!
The sweet potato burrito paired with quinoa salad
filled me up, made me feel great, and pleased my palate. -

Hey, you Buritoville - that's right - you! I've been initiated and I gotta tell you, "me likey you long time."
Head up the outside stairs, and into the back of this creaky, wooden house. Then, place your order: single, combo or triple. Say what? The combo for $10 features 2 tacos of your choice. My two were the cheesy original and the sweet potato. Plus a side. My side choice? Guacamole of course.
The brilliant part - it's all vegetarian. And while I may like land animals, I didn't notice the meatlessness. In fact, I was sufficiently stuffed. And, for all you vegans out there, the staff here are rock stars at veganizing any meal.
Plus adult bevvies, FTW!Listed in: Montreal, In a Weekend

Fantastic little place with a small, creative vegetarian menu. I tried the sweet potato burrito and I loved every bit of it. The place is in an old row house, so there are a variety of rooms and places inside in which to dine. Absolutely worth a stop if you're in the area and want a tasty, inexpensive, non-chain meal. There didn't seem to be AC, though, so on this hot day I took my food to go.

I love going to this place. It's in an old wooden house and it exudes this great relaxed vibe. I could imagine poets and artists hanging out here.
The food matches the environment. It's all local (or as local as it can be) and fair-trade. I think it's also vegan friendly.
Their meals are pretty decent size and if you grab a trio, you should be full for a while. You're wallet will also stay full. If memory serves, you can get a delicious burrito and two sides (quinoa, soup, chips,salad, whatever!) for 12.50$! That means that for 15$, you can have a delicious fresh great meal and have enough left over for a tip!
There are no traditional waiters, so you need to order at a counter and you can grab your utensils and water yourself, but they'll bring your meal over.
It may be because it's getting late-ish, but thinking about this place is getting me hungry! -

Yum!! I've only eaten the quesadilla with cheese and guacamole, etc.. in it, to which I cannot remember the name. Because it's so delicious I can't go there without getting it or trying something else, lol. Chill atmosphere and vibe.. friendly staff.. and yummy food! Slightly pricey but worth the occasional visit. :)

I had a 2 for 1 voucher from The Green Conscious Guide (which is fantastic, btw), and having read the reviews here it was really a no brainer to try Burritoville out.
The service is really friendly, laidback, and generally awesome.
The food is flavourful, filling, and delicious. I opted for a sweet potato burrito with a side of quinoa salad. The sweet potato was perfectly flavoured and made for a satisfying burrito that didn't leave me feeling yucky, just pleasantly full. The salad was very fresh, but I personally like to add a bit more flavour to quinoa since it can be quite plain on its own. But I enjoyed it, nonetheless.
All in all, this restaurant is a winner. Casual atmosphere, tasty and healthy food, and prices that won't break the bank. Oh, and be sure to try the raspberry lemonade! It's super yum.Listed in: What I love in Montreal

I must be the only person who doesn't like Burritoville, but I found their food to be bland as can be. Nothing but my chai-tea had me smiling. Just bleh.

I love this restaurant. For a burrito place, it isn't cheap, but if you want to sit in it feels less like a restaurant and more like a special club.
I recommend the 3-bean chili burrito and their homemade lemonades. -

Quaint studenty kind of place. Good for a quick sort of healthy lunch. Vegetarian. Considering the other quick dining options in the neighbourhood (Subway, Quiznos, McD's, pizza slice joints), it's tough to beat.
Expect to spend $10 on lunch. -

This place is wonderful! Free chip samples as you order, friendly service, delicious burritos that make you feel good, not tired after eating (as most burritos do, in my experience). It's organic and you can tell. They have a laid-back vibe going, and a coffeehouse/open mic performance space for the evenings. It's about $7.25 for a burrito, but the quality is really worth it.

I love the atmosphere of this place (a large old house). I had a great burrito, which was HUGE and was a good price. It was slightly too spicy for me, so I'd order it a bit milder next time. The sweet potato was interesting, but I might try something else instead next time. I love that any of the menu options can be made vegan.
Service was friendly and laid back, and fluent in English. -

I'd happily eat at this place again. The food was pretty good and the prices weren't unreasonable, considering the exchange rate, although I thought they were a bit high. They had a nice selection of veggie food that was tasty and not entirely predictable, which I appreciate. I had a burrito with sweet potato in it... How can you go wrong?

The architecture for food at this place is really wonderful: lots of sides, lots of ways to increase the presence of heat or vegetable in your taco/burrito/quesadilla, great liquids and decent dessert. The food politics is great (sustainable, as organic and local as possible) too, which makes the healthiness and the really good flavor wash down well. Nice, casual staff. great for vegans too.

This place is AWESOME! The food is filling, fairly priced, and just the perfect thing for this vegetarian mom, and equally vegetarian 18 year old son. He had the burrito, and loved the flavor and texture, I had the spinach quesada, and was equally impressed. The chips are off the hook! The staff is friendly, and informative. The place is comfortable. We were disappointed that after eating one meal, that they were closing that day, and did not reopen until after we left. Just so thankful to have had the chance to try it. I would not miss this food pleasure, even if you do eat meat.
