Tasty stuff right here! I had the large pork burrito with everything, except cilantro (because cilantro is from the devil's garden). The flavors were well blended and the tortilla was packed full of meaty/ricey goodness. My only complaint is that they were a little skimpy on the guac.
Their main entrance is via the food court but they do have street access into a small standing area. They have lots of different options other than burritos and they have a $5 student special for those on a tight budget.

I've had a few burritos from Mission Burrito and have never been disappointed. The chicken burrito is my favourite. They offer various spice levels, but even the hottest isn't that hot. The burritos are prepared fairly quickly and the prices are very reasonable.
I have yet to figure out their hours so getting a burrito from Mission Burrito is a game of chance. I'm very impressed with how the single employee handles the stress of a line-up.

Tried the yummy sweet potato and black bean burrito last night and waited what should be an obligatory 24hrs before doing mexican fast food reviews. I'm happy to report that this is a damn good and tasty burrito by Toronto standards.
I'm only giving this place 3* instead of 4 because I take issue with their "after 7pm any burritos for $5" promotion. The regular size bean and sweet potato burrito is $4.85... what? Of the 3 vegetarian burrito options only the Grilled Vegetable burrito costs more than $5 and frankly when I want a burrito, I don't want it to contain the contents of every vegetarian sandwich ever so I'm never going to order that.
I asked if I could have the large size which is $5.85 (same price as the regular size meat burritos that are discounted after 7) for $5 but I was denied. I think they are trying to get rid of the day's old seafood and meat with this deal but I find it discriminatory.

Nestled in the Village by the Grange food court, MB is excellent source of hand-held vittles. The turnaround is lightning fast compared to the over-rated Burrito Boyz, and tastes just as good. They have a five dollar student special -- which does me no good -- but the prices are otherwise reasonable.
Obligatory Title Pun: Your MISSION, should you choose to accept it, is a tasty burrito.
Menu Readability: Board over the counter, written in a crazy font. I have to find out what it is.
Need to mention: Sweet potato and black bean burrito is the superior vegetarian option.
What this place teaches me about myself: I miss student discounts.

Mmmm Burritos. I never knew how much I loved you until I moved back to Toronto to find this entire burrito culture. Burrito is so the new pizza.
This place is really really tasty. I can't remember which version of a vegetarian burrito I had but it was delicious. One warning - to avoid food babies you should definitely opt for the smaller size. The large is just unnecessary burrito-ness.
Very worth checking out - especially if you are visiting the AGO or OCAD.

I heard lots of good things about this place but was disappointed. The tortilla reminded me of the microwave burritos from the supermarket. That just made it fail right there.
I won't even start with the contents. With a name like Mission, I was hoping for more. Taco Bell is twice as good, twice the size and half the price.
Note - this was in November 2008. I don't know if it's changed from then but I don't want to risk it and waste my time and money the next
time in Toronto.

OK, I think Mission finally found their groove. Enough rice to soak up the bean, pork-free black beans, standard guac, sour cream and extras. I really felt like I was back in SF. The tightly wrapped tortilla was perfectly steamy and transformed the shrimp burrito into a bundle of joy! The salsa is also bang on- just the right amount of heat! Thanks for keepin' it real Mission style.

Mmmmm...Mission Burrito. This little place in the Village by the Grange food court is one of the newest shops on the scene, and it's damn tasty. Everything is made fresh, from scratch... including the hot sauce! They have 8 types of burritos, including sweet potato and bean, chicken, shrimp, beef, pork, and fish (Fridays only). Some of the little extras that make Mission stand out from the competition is that their meat is all seasoned for extra flavour and guacamole is included (and is made fresh daily, with no dairy fillers). The guac is some of the best you'll find at Toronto taco stands, and they're generous with it. They have two sizes of burritos. I'd recommend the large because it is only $1 more than the small and has twice as much stuff.
If you're not into burritos, they also have quesdillas and tacos, or you can opt for the "Mission Fries", which are sweet potato or Yukon fries done up like nachos, with beans, sour cream, pico, and cheese.

Great new burrito place in the OCAD/AGO neighbourhood. It's located in the food court on McCaul just south of Dundas and offers both meaty and veg options. The fillings choices are great (I had black bean and sweet potato) and I'm really happy that they now offer both bean fillings in vegetarian versions (the pinto bean filling used to be made with pork fat, but no longer).

I had a chicken burrito from Mission Burrito today and I have to say that it was a definite thumbs-in-the-middle experience. The ingredients all seemed about as fresh as one would expect from a food court burrito stand but there was an overall lack of flavour. The colour of the rice suggested that it was seasoned but I couldn't discern any and a small but noticeable portion of the rice was hard and dried out. The chicken on the burrito was shredded, which is definitely better than ground, but when I have a burrito I much prefer the texture of whole pieces of chicken. I enjoy spicy, flavourful food but not hot-for-the-sake-of-hot. Since this was my first time ordering from Mission Burrito, I went with the medium heat. If I eat there again I'll go for hot as their medium was tame by my standards. I did like the fact that they don't charge extra for guacamole which is something every other burrito place in Toronto I've been to does. The portion size is also very adequate. I ordered a large burrito and a Jarrito's soda and it came to under $10 before the 25 cent Interac fee, which is another strike. It's 2010. People use Interac. Stop with the gouging. Overall, apart from the dried out rice which may be due to the fact that I ordered just after the lunch rush, there was nothing wrong with their food; I just found it a little bland.
