“We had our annual alumni event on Friday in the late hours after Court Street. The Burrito Buggy went above and beyond for our event and made the weekend great for us, as they served over 100 people with zero ease and great food! 10/10 recommend, and hope we can book them for our event again next year!”

“Whoever was working tonight (Athens Halloween) on online orders needs the biggest raise ever. They were working so hard and the Dashers around me were so rude to them for no reason. I have no idea why you have 1 person working onlines on Halloween(of course they got behind, why wouldnt they?) but they deserve to be making at least double what they do!”
