Home of the yam burrito, Big Fat Burrito makes 'em just as it sounds. But hold off on the salsa - it's way too sweet and tastes store bought.

You honk on and on about an entirely mediocre joint like Z-Teca and this is all you have for a quality operation like BFB? I can only assume you are trying to keep it our little unspoiled secret.

It's not that much of a secret! Although, I can usually get a table every time I go...which is not enough!

This is my new favourite place for a quick lunch or dinner. I love getting half yam/half pork. The prices are quite reasonable too. yum!

I don't as a rule have favourites... plenty of second favourites... until I found Big Fat Burrito! Yam Burrito, small I do not agree with that label of small, as it is most certainly not small! The staff are all friendly, busy and as a rule unstressed. I am away from work this month and so missing my burrito fix!

Definitly not worth it. Don't even bother with this place. Burrito Boyz is so much better.

Burrito Boyz is much better and to be honest, the race isn't even close!

Just dropped into the Bloor street location and tried their chicken burrito to be greatly disappointed. If you want a real authontic Burrito, nothing tops Burrito Burrito on College Street west of Grace on the south side.

I love this place amongst all the burritos places I've been. Those with a negative review should try the burrito again. It tastes better than most restaurants in Toronto.

This place is the best of all burritos. Those with a negative review should try the burrito again. It tastes better than most restaurants in Toronto for the price.

By the way, do not try the tacos restaurant nearby, tastes like catfood and very unfriendly people.

There is Stiff Competition in The city for Burritos. No Doubt Fat Burrito is GREAT as is Burrito Boyz. Both are a bit different and offer different tastes. I LOVE Big Fat Burritos YAM and Chicken...where at Burrito Boys I LOVE the crispness of the Wrap. I don't thinks there is a "Race" but let's face it...We all LOVE Burritos and I Thank Big Fat for being AWESOME! Your Big window, staff and Burritos are Super!

Big Fat Burrito is a joke. I have been a customer for 3 years and today I asked them to make me 2 pulled pork tacos. The guy said no he is not allowed to make pork tacos. The money is not an issue to me and I offered to pay extra, whatever he wants to charge extra for it and he refused to make it. Is it a sin to put pork in a taco?

On top of that, I inadvertently got two of the workers in trouble because I mentioned that they had made this for me the day before. Well the guy working today "ratted" on his co-workers as if they had killed someone or something.

I am searching for contact info for the owners of BFB so I can write a formal complaint. I want an explanation as to why they are not allowed to put pork in a taco, even if I am willing to pay double.
