“Delicious food and friendly staff! Food tastes better than chipotle; people complaining about portions have not stepped foot in a chipotle in years. Plus the guacamole is free! Beats chipotle any day of the week especially the campustown one“

“Consistently delicious and lightening fast.“

“Great serving size, greats device, and just great all around.

If you're from Champaign... You already know ! Cactus Grill is the spot ! I love their honey grilled chicken burritos. If you don't like burritos... Don't worry be sure every day there's a new special !

Additionally, the service is amazing. The owner is an awesome man who is pushed through adversity repeatedly. I will always support Cactus Grill.

My only complaint: I wish you guys were open on weekends !

Thanks Cactus! Love you guys.“

“If you need food to eat and you haven’t cooked on a Monday come here. You need the app, but the MO’s Monday deal is pretty good. You get your bowl chips and a drink and free guacamole for the same price as a regular bowl. I went here a million times and they never disappointed. They are really generous on portions and the staff was always super chill. Shoutout Jamal.

Vegetarian options: Could get a bowl with no meat

Dietary restrictions: Just ask

Parking: Free lot

Kid-friendliness: Yeah

Wheelchair accessibility: Yup“

“No matter dine in or carry out, they always provide sizable portions of some of the best food around. Seriously, the beans, rice, and salsa mixed into a chip dip is a meal itself and there's still whatever you ordered next to it! 10/10 recommend“

“We shared the breakfast burrito and chips with chorizo and queso. Absolutely delicious. The chips were light and crisp. We happened upon the truck when we stopped at Triptych Brewing on a road trip. Perfect dinner and beer stop!“

“We used Burrito King for our wedding and they were incredible!!! The communication was clear and extremely fast. The service the day of was amazing, super warm and yummy. They even delivered chips and salsa to each table and all of the guests were so excited. I’d recommend them to anyone needing food for an event!!“

“This Taco Bell has the best service of all the Champaign Urbana area Taco Bell locations.

Also, the roof and painting was redone in summer 2024 and building looks nice.

Friendly drive thru employees every time that I’ve gone there.
Orders are accurate almost 100% of the time that I’ve gone there.

I drive extra to go to this location versus other Taco Bell options because this location has professional and friendly staff.“

“Man the people who worked here went above and beyond. I ordered chicken nuggets online. When I got there they were out ,but one of the employees went to the other store to get them. I was happy. That was greatly appreciated. We need more people like that in this world❤️. The nuggets were good. The nacho fries are always good and I had the dragon fruit tea. That was pretty good as well.“
