The serving size shouldn't be called a burrito. It's just large enough to not be a taco, leaves you hungry and feeling like you wasted your money spending an excessive amount for what should be a meal but isn't.

I’ve been coming to this location for a long time. The food is always on point from taste to temperature. The location is very clean, and it smells clean, people are always mopping floors and wiping down eating areas.
The inside in not suitable for a large group because it is limited seating. They do have a ramp for a wheel chair to roll in but it might be complicated to exit, just going by memory, because of the space issue.

Love getting breakfast here on my way into the office - I do a mini breakfast burrito and got a black coffee with ginger added - soooo good.

I’ve been here twice and will be back! I got their breakfast mexicali bowl and the green smoothie bowl thing once and then steak mexicali another time. They were all SO good! I crave the green smoothie bowl thing now sometimes. The portions are the perfect size, the food tastes fresh, and the staff are kind. The food is also definitely packed with protein. Both my orders were order ahead/pickup, and I don’t know if I’d want to actually hangout/eat at the cafe for long, but regardless the food is great and I will be back for more.

i have not ordered in several months and they have severely lowered the amount of food they give you, i was completely shocked when i got the bowl i ordered. this is Not $15 worth of food, its $7 ! ventra card included in photos for size comparison. in addition to that, there were only 5 blueberries on top, 7 strawberry slices and the coconut shreds were not shreds. it looked like the crumbs at rhe bottome of the bag only and they did not include the bananas that were suposed to be there. overall, a waste of money and a disappointment /: the people were nice but made the order wrong

Consider ordering their mexicali bowl!!! AMAZING doesn't even begin to describe how good it is honestly. It was pretty affordable for such a filling bowl & has good portions compared to Chipotle. Not to mention that it's genuinely the best bowl I've ever had!!🥙👏
Price: $14.80 excluding tips
1000/10 definitely recommend!!

Decent Spot with Room for Improvement
I visited the Protein Bar & Kitchen near Willis Tower and ordered the Mexicali Bowl along with the PB&J protein smoothie. Overall, the experience was just okay and didn't quite meet expectations for a health-focused fast-casual spot. The smoothie, made with peanut butter, berries, almond milk, and agave, tasted more like a dessert--very sweet and lacking the balanced flavor I hoped for in a protein drink. The Mexicali Bowl was hearty but leaned too heavily on cheese, beans, and carbs, which made it feel overly dense and less nutritious than advertised. It seemed more focused on bulk than freshness or healthy balance. The self-serve ordering kiosk was convenient, but not very intuitive; I had some difficulty navigating the options and understanding how to customize my order. While the staff was present, they weren't particularly welcoming or helpful, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. The interior was clean but had a bland, underwhelming atmosphere. I still left a 20% tip out of habit, but given the limited staff interaction and self-service model, it didn't feel particularly warranted. If you're in a rush and need something filling with a decent amount of protein, this location might work--but don't expect standout flavors or an especially engaging dining experience.

A little overpriced for what you get but the smoothies are really good.
Would only eat in during a pinch. Love the steak and Seoul bowl.

Online orders are ready within minutes, and the food is always high quality. Good portion and value. One of the few places I go to for a healthy lunch!
