“we walked past this food stall when visiting the Hamilton Farmers' Market and were attracted by all the colorful food, the big jars of pickled serrano, macha chili oil and creamy arbol. I ordered a mixed plate of tacos, quesidillas and pupusas. it was delicious!“

“So friendly and kind. I ordered burritos with my kid, who loves hot sauce. Hetal (the owner) warned him that their hot sauce is extra hot, but most people do that because they don't think a kid can handle the heat, so he got it how he wanted it. Turns out their hot sauce really is spicier than most!! She rescued him with extra sour cream and a bottle of water! All of their sauces are homemade and absolutely delicious! But only have a tiny bit of the habanero sauce. It packs a punch. The jalapeño hot sauce is perfect for anyone who wants a bit of flavour without the heat. We'll be back.“

“I had a great experience at [Burrito Shop – Upper James]! From the moment I walked in, the place had a clean, welcoming vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful, asking about spice preference and offering suggestions. I ordered their burrito bowl and it was packed with fresh ingredients—plenty of beans, flavorful meat, bright salsa, and just the right amount of sauce. Everything tasted well balanced, and portions were generous.
Shoutout to Hiral and Saurab. Asked for their names because I was so satisfied with them.“

“Was lured in by an online ad for their limited time BACON CHICKEN burrito With Ghost Pepper ranch sauce. This would be my first time coming to barBURRITO. They didn't disappoint !! I have enjoyed it so much, it's been a weekly go-to .“

“I don’t usually write reviews about places, but my friend & I decided to come here for something light after our little adventure around hamilton. It was my first time trying this place & absolutely loved it. We ordered the calamari & tacos which were divine. All the flavours were there. We didn’t order anything with alcohol in it, but the drinks we had were still good too! I don’t wanna say her name out of respect (starts with a J), but our waitress was also super friendly & has good banter! Overall, it was a great experience & I’ll definitely be coming back 😌“

“Best burrito place in town. I loved the burrito bowls. The tacos and burritos are good too. My bf usually gets those. I never know what to decide. Hands down though - I always wish I got a bowl when I choose otherwise cause they are ridiculously amazing.Service is amazing too. Great people in my experience. Most authentic in town, and unbeatable prices. (For fast Mexican food).Great work!! ? ? ?“

“Awesome food, great atmosphere, killer service. Nachos were some of the best I've ever had. Everything was fresh, delicious and super filling.“

“I stopped here for takeout on 12/4/2025 around 6pm - I just wanted to leave a review to say the young woman who was working was so friendly and informative and made the best burrito ive ever had. She took time to layer it properly to ensure every bite tasted the same, let me know everything that was going to cost extra ahead of time and even brought me coupons for my next visit and explained them to me. 10/10 experience here. I've always liked quesada, but I will only come back to this location after today.“

“ABSOLUTELY HANDS DOWN THE BEST LOCATION IVE EVER ORDERED FROM!! Trust me I should own stocks in Taco Bell I’ve been obsessed since I was a kid! So I’ve been to A LOT of locations. I eat it three times a week if not more lol GUYS YOU ARE KILLING IT! ALWAYS fresh great portion sizes and honestly it just tastes soooooo much better! Hats off to the staff! I’ve ordered so many times from you and it’s always CONSISTENT! The only thing I’d change is your hours lol I hate having to order from upper James because you’re closed :(“

“Saturday night I had the pleasure of ordering a burrito bowl and had some of the best customer service I've seen! These guys were exceptional and I could tell they cared about the work they did. Store was shining clean, food was delicious and will definitely come back again! Please give my regards to lakhsman, rabneet, and aman!“

“love tacos and the staff is always nice!“

“Burritos were delicious. I like the great selection of toppings. The staff was very friendly and helpful. He was the only one so we had to wait for a bit but he was very fast and skillful. My only recommendation is to create smaller portions as options.“

“Big, spacious location, reasonably clean & large individual, mobility & gender-friendly washrooms [at least at the time of my visit]. My high school friend since 25 years ago hadn't had Taco Bell in THREE. YEARS. Last year, I ordered UberEats from the location in question [677 Upper James] & was hesitant because the portions didn't match the crazy price I paid but that's UE for you. So high school friend was visiting me from Montréal where the people are far too picky for junk tacos. We grew up hankering The Bell back in Scarborough on a regular basis as it was relatively close to our school & the nostalgia was eating us alive so we just had to go & she drove us to one of the nicest locations in Hamilton [again, 677 Upper James]. Food was warm, generous amount & varieties of salsa, vegetarian needs perfectly accommodated [she's veg, I'm flex], refillable fountain pop, incredibly friendly staff [I knew I was being annoying because I wanted everything & with veg substitutions]. Thank you for the unforgettable experience. Will probably be back with my man.“
