The Colorado Burrito

Yuck... go somewhere else. Plenty of better options in Hillsborough for decent Mexican food! After several tries, can't figure out how they are still open.

Food is awful - service is terrible. We've given them several tries, but wish they'd just move out so a decent option can move in!

This restaurant was a true disappointment. The service was really bad, I actually had to stand up twice to get the servers attention. I also ordered a dish after asking the server if it was spicy, which she said it wasn’t. The dish was too spicy for me, so I returned it, which they did take back. I ordered a California burrito, which was the driest burrito I have ever eaten. At the end of the meal I was charged for the first meal that was too spicy instead of what I actually ate. I gave it two stars only because the decor is lovely. But I won’t be going back.

The reason I gave 3 stars is because of the 4% surcharge for credit card use. The average processing fee is 1 - 3.5%. I may return only if the surcharge is reasonable.

I had lunch there a few days ago. It has been several months since I'd eaten here. I had chili rellenos with rice and beans.
I have eaten at Colorado Burrito from since it was at Daniel Boone Plaza, out to HWY 70 and back here to Churton Street. It has always been authentic, delicious and filling.
Something has gone terribly wrong. The atmosphere seems to only mimic authentic Mexican ambience, the painted chairs and paper flags seem a mockery. No one other than the waiter acknowledged I was there. The place was nigh on funereal.
As for the food, the flavor and spice was missing, the beans were soupy and the rice was dry. All was lukewarm at best.
I took half my meal home, despite the servings being just over half the expected amount, because of the flat taste. As leftovers for the next day, which I spiced up myself, the rellenos tasted like spiced up blandness.
The waiter was nice, but over-worked. The prices are a third higher than I would have preferred.
Sadly, I think I'll not return.
Fiesta Grill on HWY 54 is better all around, and 2/3rd closer, with better authenticity, owners who greet you with a smile, tremendous servings, flavors that you can taste from the parking lot and bring home on your clothes, and all this for a lower price.

4 of us passed by for dinner on Friday night. The place was extremely quiet at 7pm, but there was lovely service from the waitress. We had a range of dishes, and found them all to be ok although big portions! Nothing special, I'd recommend other Mexican places over this one, but it is fine.

If i wanted a snack i would have went to Burger King and had it my way. The food was bland the owner had to make sure we were ok after putting us in the back of the restaurant, racism still exists until this day I’m glad I have my own restaurant I treat people the way i want to be treated, we had people staring at us, lol but they took the money after over charging.

Horrible 1st experience.....sat at the bar ordered cheese dip and chips, cheese dip was cold. Waited forever for bartender to take our order and ended up taking it to go. I ordered an ACP with tortillas...was charged for tortillas and didn't get them, also my ACP had no cheese on it and it was on the side....I've never had an ACP with cheese on the side..not impressed at all with service or food and spent $65 with tip for a dinner I don't even want to eat because it's not correct and don't have tortillas....Do not recommend and I won't be back
....poor service and food....I will be calling tomorrow and expecting to be refunded as my food wasn't even close to $20 value especially without tortillas...subpar at best as even the chicken isn't of quality ?

My husband and I have tried this place twice now and we will not be back again. The food always seems to come out cold and the service is slow. The second time we went, both the salsa and the queso dip were severely watered down. Now whenever we want Mexican food in Hillsborough, we just go to Pueblo Viejo. So much better!

Average looking Mexican food joint.
Nice enough bar staff.
Very average food (there were three of us and everybody's food was just ok). Not seasoned enough. Not hot enough.
Chips weren't fresh. Salsa wasn't in any way interesting or spicy.
Bottled beer was almost warm.

Most likely won't be back.

Your restaurant was a lovely, welcoming, bright respite in between errands this afternoon. Thank you for having gluten-free and dairy-free options that are simple and delicious. I enjoyed your salsa and chips and the grilled fish tacos on corn tortillas. The renovated interior is very nice; clean and bright. The service was thoughtful and expedient.

Dietary restrictions: GF and DF chips, salsa, and fish tacos on corn tortillas

If you happen upon this place, you must try the chimichanga. It is not your usual chimi. It has rice, beans, pico, chicken, and other stuff. It was so good, I ate way past being full, just because I couldn't stop! The staff was very accommodating also. Five stars!

Parking: We had to park two blocks away. But, it was worth it!

By far the worst food I’ve tasted in a long time. I should’ve known to leave when the salsa tasted like water. I ordered a steak chimichanga and it was extremely bland. It didn’t taste fresh or seasoned. For a while, I was convinced that I had COVID and lost my sense of taste. I thought that maybe some hot sauce and queso would make things better but I couldn’t get the attention of any waiter. They only checked on me once I put my napkin in my plate. I paid in cash (because there’s a surcharge for debit and credit) and left. The taste of watered down steak remained in my mouth for hours to follow. I highly don’t recommend!
