Burrito Stop Mex and American Grill

Pricy, but delicious!!!

My first experience with Burrito Stop Mex and American Grill was in the form of a delivery order, and it won't be my last!

Delivery is handled in-house for a modest fee, & based on the availability of their driver, but I'll take any timing inconvenience over stuffing cash into the hands of an advertised delivery service that will likely be late, might deliver to the wrong house, or - worst of all - might dig through my purchase to sample MY dinner! The Burrito Stop driver was on time, & refreshingly polite.

For our test run, we had a taco dinner (on the requested flour tortillas), a three-meat bowl (with shrimp, steak & chicken crowning fresh greens & diced vegetables), and a side container of pico de gallo.

My thanks to Griselda for sweetly helping me navigate the menu without being condescending, and for the entire operation showing their pride with their outstandingly-FRESH ingredients & their excitingly-varied menu! See you again soon!

Local Spotlight: Burrito Stop Mex & American Grill – Whiting, IN

As someone who genuinely enjoys supporting local spots, I had to swing by Burrito Stop after hearing a few YouTubers mention it. My partner and I pulled up ready to give it a shot.

First impressions were solid. The place is in a good location, with a clean, modern vibe and a beautifully diverse crowd. I’m talkin’ a real mix—Black, white, Hispanic, African, Indian—people from all walks of life, many likely working in the nearby mills and refineries. That kind of turnout had me thinking, “This place must be the real deal.”

It was busy too—steady flow of folks picking up orders. Our hopes were high.

I went with a steak and chicken burrito bowl, while my partner ordered the carne asada and a Jamaica drink. The food looked promising when it came out… but unfortunately, that’s where the excitement ended.

The flavor just wasn’t there. If you’re expecting authentic Mexican fare, this isn’t the place. It’s more of a Chipotle-style concept, but even that comparison falls short. The red and green sauces were nearly flavorless. I tried mixing them together to salvage something—still nothing.

The rice was bland and unseasoned. The meat was dry and underwhelming. Beans were just… beans. And the carne asada? Tough and missing that signature grilled flavor—no char, no soul.

We spent about $40 for the meal. Honestly, the best thing I can say is that we supported a local business. And sometimes, that’s all that matters.

Would I go back? Probably not. But I gave it a fair shot.

I got the 3 meat bowl, and it tasted good. Asked for no shrimp but still got.

Great food, awesome service!

My first time ever having this spot definitely recommend it! Their burritos are so bomb! And it’s also beautiful inside! The vibe is amazing

Great food. La carne al pastor was amazing. They have nice and friendly staff. Everything was great, but the fries, goodness, those fries! They taste like the best grandma home-made french fries.

Great local spot with freshly made everything. Salsa was delicious as well as everything we had. Small group, so good selection.
Cheeseburger was also very good! The area demands a little variety.
