My usual burrito place was closed for the night, and still yearning for a steak burrito, I decided to pay this TBK a visit, as it has been a few years since the last time I bought food from here, and I figured "why not". Ordered a king steak burrito and a side of chips and salsa to go. Waited for my order to be prepared and watched the cooks do their thing as I waited. I noticed immediately that one of the workers was not wearing sterile gloves and neglected any mandatory sanitary requirements. He was picking up bags of nachos with his bare hands. His palms and fingers made physical contact with the chips at the top of the bags as he put them into the to-go bags. The cashier, also without gloves and who handles paper money containing the genetic residue of countless people, put my burrito, napkins, and salsa cup and salsa tub into my bag without washing or santizing his hands. I recall vividly that he was not wearing gloves because on his left-hand middle knuckle was a wart or callus. They finished my order, passed it to me, and I left and headed for home.
First thing I did before I commenced eating was dump out the first couple of layers of nacho chips that made contact with the bare, gloveless hands of the man who put them in my bag. Took a bite of more or less "uncontaminated" chips, and they were pretty darn stale, as though I were given chips that have been left out for a few days. The salsa in a Styrofoam tub that came with the chips was inordinately watery and flavorless. The steak burrito was filled with gristle. Every bite had some beef-flavored chewy connective tissue, unrendered fat, and untrimmed silver skin. Pretty darn awful and overall unappetizing. Couldn't even bring myself to finish it, which I wasn't thrilled about because I am a stickler when it comes to food waste. This place very clearly cuts corners and has no real vested interest in the well-being of their customers as long as they get their ill-deserved money.
This food is barely fit for barnyard animals, much less for human consumption. But to each their own. If you think this stuff is good, more power to you. And if you're desperate enough for some 1am burritos after a night of drinking and poor decision making, well, as sure as God's got sandals, this place has them. Just remember that your bottom of the barrel food will be handled with gross, unwashed hands and runny bowel movements, and stomach pain may be in your foreseeable future. Good luck. Cheers.
Dietary restrictions: They have a sign posted about food allergens just off to the right and above the register and to ask the cooks if you have any concerns. Also, probably not Halal or Kosher.
Parking: They have a small lot, and depending on the time of day, you may have a hard time finding a parking spot. This place also seems to attract drunk, inconsiderate schmucks at night so there will sometimes be a vehicle that occupies 2 spots or parked too close to another parked vehicle, making it nearly impossible to enter or exit that vehicle. There can sometimes be parking found on Belmont in front of TBK on either side of the street going east or west.
Kid-friendliness: They do have child-sized portion meals.
Wheelchair accessibility: 2 doors until you're inside. No automatic door function. First door kind of sticks because the space behind it creates a vacuum that you have to unseal upon opening said door. Doors appear wide enough to accommodate an assisted mobility device, but you may have to ask for help. No stairs.

My girlfriend brought me here and boy am I glad she did! The food is really good. I tried the chicken quesadilla and it was perfect! Tasty meat, plenty of cheese, well cooked, and all the flavor you can ask for. Add in some of their green sauce? Heaven!!!! This place is so worth it to stop by and order your favorite Mexican dish. You will not be disappointed. Decor could be better, but the food and the service were fantastic! And we got incredible service from their friendly staff. If I lived in the area this would be a weekly stop for sure!
Food is excellent, could work on customer service with certain people, the bathrooms need alot of work/cleaning. Urine all over the floor & it stinks

The food seems to have gotten worse, I can smell the old cheese in the boritos, and the service is not very nice, they try to get rid of people by sharing sauces between tables, and the tables are always dirty.

I remember going here no matter if it was after a night of drinking, or a sober afternoon. It was always good! Now, different story. Doesn't have the same taste and the steak is fatty as hell. Say I take 10 bites, 8 or them is fatty. What the hell happened to this place?
Served me burnt crunchy steak in all my sandwiches

They falsely advertise buy one get one free deals by doubling the price of the item and telling you you're getting one free when you're outright paying for 2 items. One taco is 3.75 in store and 4.15 through uber but the "BOGO" cost $6.50. One quessadilla on uber costs $7.25 but the "BOGO" is $11.75. That's not buying 1 item and getting another free. That is a blatant lie. I really appreciate the man last night who honored what I thought I ordered based on the price. But this needs to be changed immediately because you're outright lying.

I visited Taco Burrito King late night and was pleasantly impressed. The regular-sized burrito I ordered was larger than most, packed with fresh and flavorful ingredients that made every bite a delight. Alongside, I indulged in their Tostados, which were not only delicious but also incredibly filling, thanks to the abundance of fresh ingredients.
