Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Burrito Beach is ok I guess. My coworker gave me a free entree coupon so we went to go check it out. We past by it all the time to Cozi, Potbelly, and the other fast food places in 111 Wacker. I had the Baja Chipotle Chicken Burrito. There wasn't that much chicken but it wasn't bland either. It was so so. The tortilla wrap they use is more durable than that at Chipotle so the burrito stayed intact and didn't fall apart on me. Overall though, I still like Chipotle and Qdoba better. They give you more meat and its much more flavorful.
(2)Steve H.
Blah, I've definitely had much better. I mean, its fast food so I kind of understand. I had a shrimp burrito that was decent at best, it tasted pretty bland to tell the truth. The biggest dissapointment was the nacho cheese. It tasted really funky, thats the only way to describe it. It may seam like I'm being fickle but believe me when I say....I am a lover of all things nacho cheese. I'd probably give it another shot since its close to where I work. However, there is a Mcdonalds next door.
(2)Kristine B.
I'm with the "Go Chipotle" crowd on this one. I don't like eating massive burritos of either the Chipotle or Beach variety, so I usually go for the bowl or salad. Not impressed - I missed my Chipotle burrito bowl. Although its massive, I usually eat half, and save the other half for dinner, or lunch the next day (get the guac and sour cream on the side) and it doesn't get soggy at all! The salad I got from Beach was all water in the bottom (in part due to the watery lettuce (fine ok, its a salad) and the black beans (again, ok I get it, get a scoop with slots for the liquid). But I just didn't even really like the taste of it. So to Chipotle I will go the next time I crave.
(2)Joe S.
I had this a few times when my company would cater it in. Tacos were alright (hey free food can't complain right?) but I wouldn't buy it otherwise. They really need to redo their guacamole. Go to the Chipotle across the street instead.
(2)Robert S.
A nice take on Mexican/Tex-Mex fast food. Tons of options for burritos, tacos, etc. The food won't put Bayless out of business, but for fast food, it's great.
(3)Kavita B.
While walking around the street this place grabbed my attention for a quick snack. I chose nachos with cheese,salsa and jalapeño. Crisp nachos and cheese really tasted well. I would really like to visit this place again on my trip to downtown.
(3)Brittney H.
It's 90 something degrees so I'm basically avoiding the outdoors like the plague. Fortunately, I have numerous dining options in my building so decided to wander down and find something that wouldn't send me into a white hot heat rage. The well known places of Chicago (Pret, Cosi, etc) were all packed until I saw a fairly short line at Burrito Beach, which I'd never heard of. This, combined with a sign that said low calorie options had me sold. I am probably going to cause an uproar based on the reviews here, but I like Chipotle and this place equally. Americanized Mexican food is usually about 10 ingredients put together to make a giant collection of menu items - and I'm easy to please if you don't screw those up. I got the organic quinoa bowl with grilled veggies, guacamole, and cheese. The lettuce portion of this was significant which is definitely a bonus for healthy eaters. The ingredients were fresh and I appreciated the recyclable containers they come in. It wasn't the greatest thing I've eaten, but for a chain I was pleased. It's a rarity that I find places that have Diet Dr. Pepper fountain drinks. Don't think I'll forget that, Burrito Beach. I also noticed buffalo chicken and goat cheese options. While not particularly Mexican - I want! I imagine I'll be back soon to check these out.
(3)Stephanie H.
So to keep the argument going, I'm not a Chipotle fan. I don't care for their food and just because it's more farm to table friendly doesn't mean it's healthy. I like having my cheat days at BB for the nachos or shall I say nacho bucket. I can load up big time including a side of guac (which will cost you extra) for $7.77. Jackpot literally. And they are good to boot. I've never had to wait in a long line and the people there have always been friendly. I've tried their burritos/tacos at other locations and they are A-Ok so I feel the nachos take it over the 4 star goal line.
(4)Shanti N.
With no end to the Arctic (maybe even sub Arctic by now) air in sight, I have been availing myself of enclosed (read: Pedway) dining options. I have been to the BB in the train station, but far prefer this location for its ordering setup, plentiful seating (at least when I've been in), and friendly staff. Even during lunch rush the lines move fairly quickly. My default is the three beef tacos; I've also been known to try the salads if I am feeling virtuous. Sides (chips and guac) are solid and the best part is the selection of hot sauces, which I have found to be very comprehensive and generously portioned. The value is pretty reasonable and the ingredients are fresh, always pluses in my book. I'm looking forward to trying some of the soups on a return visit. Overall, this is a far better option than anything under the generic silver foil, and a good way of getting my fix of Mexican while staying toasty.
(4)Alee H.
IMO the best fast Loop breakfast for people following a diet high in healthy fats and lower in carbs that want whole foods options. For under 5 bucks you can get scrambled eggs, cheese guac, sauteed veggies made fresh to order. Very nice staff too.
(5)John F.
This place isn't all that bad. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but I work in the building and find it to be a solid lunch option. I usually order the grilled chicken quesadilla and although it's pretty greasy, it's good. They fold their quesadillas differently - two folds, one from one side to the middle and the opposite side to the middle, instead of your typical fold in half style. I like this way since it makes eating it easier without all the insides spilling out all over. For a side they give you some chips which I don't like at all, but they allow you to substitute rice or beans at no additional cost. I find this to be pretty awesome. In total, a quesadilla with a side of rice or beans will run you around $6 - pretty cheap if you ask me considering the other options in the area. In Arnold's words, I'll be back.
(3)Heather P.
Blecch. Went to Burrito Beach for lunch today because I've never tried it and I got bored. Conclusion: Blecch. As I write this I feel gross and bloated and just generally unwell. BB is like Chipotle if the quality was lower, the cuisine less authentic, and the price about equivalent. And I say this knowing full well that Chipotle is about as "Mexican" as Panda Express is "Chinese." BB is less Mexican than Chipotle, the flavors less nuanced, the trays of ingredients less fresh. Consider this. I got a bbq chicken salad, which was a small amount of lettuce, a large amount of mushy, overcooked, flavorless rice, black beans, and bbq chicken that was mostly sauce and the sauce was way too sweet and clashed with the other toppings. My other toppings were corn, cheese, and tomatillo salsa. These flavors should not have clashed, yet somehow, they did. Also, because of the amount of sauce on the chicken, plus the dressing, plus the wet lettuce, plus the beans that were clearly not strained, the whole thing was a soggy mess before I even got a fork into it. Good points: The guac was pretty good, the chips indistinguishable from Chipotle's (although there were significantly less of them), they have diet Dr. Pepper in the fountain. Anyone from the South would compare this more to Moe's than Chipotle due to the trashy Tex-Mex flavor combos (bbq chicken, buffalo chicken, etc). But Moe's is WAY more successful at this venture, as their fast pseudo-Mexican grub is actually super tasty and wonderful. Skip this mess.
(2)Emily Z.
I had a good experience on my first Burrito Beach experience but I was just not thrilled with what I got. Greg S. the Owner took time out of his busy day to apologize for my not stellar experience and offered some suggestions for my next trip, now that's customer service at its best! Well lucky for me Burrito Beach caters to the 200 W Chicago building like once a week and I got a change to try out Greg's suggestions and the Tacos were delicious ! I've learned my lesson, don't get wheat tortillas they just don't compare. I am officially a Burrito Beach convert !
(4)Ed B.
Ok to put things in perspective I'm rating this compared to other franchise fast food places, so its not in the same ballpark as La Pasadita. Service wise as long as they're not getting my order wrong I don't care if they're talking to each other for the 2 - 4 minutes that I'm standing there. Some ppl need to get over themselves and relax if they're not asking you about your first born and how your day is going. I've never had a problem with service there and I don't think they've ever gotten an order wrong for me or were ever rude. They have a lot of ppl there working the lunch rush which gets you in and out fast. Compared to Chipotle I definitely like this more, you're going to get more meat at this place which is a major irk of mine at Chipotle. Lots of fresh veggies and decent salsa. I love their chicken its seasoned well and its always fresh. The roasted veggies are nice too and the guac is pretty good.
(4)Dan R.
I have changed my review (below) from 4 Stars to 1. The change reflects the changes I have experienced at BB when the Carlos the Manager and Myra the front counter person left. Service went down hill but I stuck with them. Service is really poor even though the lady working the front counter in the morning is realy nice. It's poorly managed. Today was a tipping point. I went out of my way to go to BB and got there 15 minutes after they were supposed to open. They were closed and the doofus manager smiled/laughed and tossed her arms in the air like 'too bad, not open'. This was not the fist time they were late opening. They are often way behind on completing their set up causing me to wait. I'm done. I used my punch card last week and have no reason to go there again. It's fast food. So, my review is based on whether I can get edible food, fast at a decent price. The answer in this case is 'yes' on all counts. What makes this location better than most - and better than other fast food places - is Carlos the manager and his team. This morning he opened the doors for me 15 minutes early to take my order. His positive attitude and consumer-centric approach is reflected by the people he has working for him. Hot tip: Try the Low Carb Scrambler for breakfast. Romaine lettuce, bacon, salsa, cheese, guacamole, and toppings for less than $5.00.
(1)Rhonda G.
The nachos are pretty good! I like a lot of stuff on my nachos, healthy and unhealthy. Not authentic of course, but since when are nachos authentic Mexican anyway? You don't go here for "real" Mexican. you go here because it tastes good and it's right by your job or your dealer or wherever you go during the day.
(4)Shradha A.
I actually prefer this Burrito Beach to the one on Lake/State as well as the one on Michigan/Ontario (or is it Ohio?).. They are also lax (aka don't check) on coupon expiration dates! Shhhh ;) Coupons remind me, they do send a lot of those in the mail and with some pretty good, usable deals!
(3)Sang H.
Here's the thing, every restaurant in the Illinois Center has workers that really really hate their jobs, because not once have I seen someone smile or seem like they are having fun. They are too busy chatting with one another that they look past the fact that they are working in a customer service industry. I understand that the Illinois Center is huge and has so many people walking through their doors everyday, but still, please at least have a smile. 2 stars cause not only is the service bad, food is just ok.
(2)Liz W.
I really don't know why people bag on this place so much. For the record, I think it's much better than Chipotle. As a vegan, there aren't tons of choices in the tourist-trappy loop, but Burrito Beach delivers with the grilled veggie burrito. The beans don't have meat in them, and they also have corn on the line (in addition to the usual fixin's) as an option. It costs extra to add guacamole to your burrito, but I think it's so worth it. My hubby and I meet here quite a bit for lunch, and for $20 we each get the veg burrito, share a side of chips and guac (very generous portion size), and refillable sodas. Not bad. Warning: don't order this if you are hung over and have a meeting right after lunch. At the risk of being overly graphic, it's very fibrous and you'll have to run for it 20 minutes post-consumption. That said, enjoy!
(4)David C.
Love the breakfast burrito - great way to start the day! Fast service and great tasting food. Miss 'the beach'.
(4)Steve G.
Went here for the first time today. It's pretty decent quick-lunch "Mexican"-American food. Nothing outstanding, nothing bad either. I'll keep going now and again for lunch while at work. Don't go here if you want actual Mexican food; head out to the neighborhoods.
(3)Kae O.
I had to find a quick place for lunch between talks and stumbled upon this place. There were a lot of people in line, and prices seemed reasonable so I went for it. I ended up ordering the shrimp soft tacos and they had good flavor! I was very happy with it. Plus 3 tacos came with small bag of chips, and for those who know me I am a sucker for tortilla chips. Over all it was not too shabby and I would not mind coming back for a quick lunch!
(3)Lauren P.
i've been a tried-and-true chipotle girl for quite some time now, so never really felt the need to give burrito beach a go. my first experience was at a lunch meeting, and i have to tell you - i was pleasantly surprised! i tried the buffalo chicken burrito - and it was good. i was expecting it to be fried, but it wasn't. props to the flavor choices instead of the run of the mill chicken, pork and steak choices. i decided to come back a second time to test out the goat cheese and black bean burrito. and it. was. magical. seriously. if you're a goat cheese fan, you gotta try it out. i usually have trouble finishing a whole burrito by myself, but i couldn't help it. it's that good. (i also wanted to take a nap afterward.) however, i was mildly disappointed by their offering of chips and guacamole. the guac was delicious, but there were only about 10 chips in the bag! doesn't provide for much dipping action. chipotle wins in this aspect.
(4)Heather K.
For whatever reason, people who like Chipotle hate Burrito Beach, and vice versa. I'm a member of the pro-Beach camp, because I feel like it's better to have variety and taste over quantity. If you're in the mood to have a 3-lb rock of cheese and beans sitting in your gut all day, by all means, choose Chipotle. The burritos at Beach are a nice lunchtime size - I usually go for the Baja chicken and end up saving some of it for a snack later in the day. Sign up for their e-mail list because they send really good coupons every month. For ex, they're currently doing free chips and guac if you buy an entree - so you can get an entire meal for like $6! Score! Does Beach have the best burritos in the land? Of course not. Is it the best option for satisfying your lunchtime burrito craving if you work in the Loop? Ehhhhh, probably!

(1)Dennis B.
I had reviewed this restaurant a few weeks ago and the chips could have used some freshening so we only went with 3 stars. Since then, they seemed to have gotten on that and they have improved. You just cant beat the Tres Tacos - Grilled Chicken for $4.99 including chips! Food is fresh and hot and tasty every time. Moving up my review to 4 stars.
(4)Kathleen C.
After trying to clarify my order numerous times once, I still received the wrong this. I was angry! However, I told the manager and he was fantastic about correcting it. Way to go customer service!!! I think Burrito Beach is pretty good but TOTALLY different from Chipotle. I wouldn't go here for a burritto (weird yes) but they have great salads, quesadillas and nachos. And my co-workers have raved about their tacos but I haven't tried em.
(3)Brandon H.
Have been back recently, this time was better. Perhaps my initial visit was on an off-day.
(4)Tuyen T.
I've never been to a Burrito Beach before this one and I'm kind of sad. Although I do like chicken and salsas at Chipotle better, there are more choices at Burrito Beach. The guac is good and they give you a generous portion which is a plus. I haven't had a bad experience yet. *knocks on wood*
(4)Dane K.
I'm eating a burrito from Burrito Beach as I write this... I only occasionally go to this place because I think that somehow if I order enough different things there, I might actually find one I like. I haven't yet. It seems like they've tried to copy Chipotle on some things, then tried to do more fast foodish type things in addition... But Chipotle tastes sooooo much better. The burritos at this place reminds me more of Taco Bell than anything... The quality is about the same, Chipotle seems to be much higher quality. Its fast food yes, but $6-7 for a fast food burrito isn't a good deal if it doesn't taste good. The employees here don't seem as on top of things, either.

If you're craving mexican food, wait it out till you can find another place. This is mediocre at best and I felt ill after eating a burrito here (I'm talkin' about diarrhea guys). The guacamole is good though.
(1)Christine C.
Updating my review to one star. I was starving today, waited too long to order from Chipotle so I went here .... Once again, up charged, this time for rice and beans with NO indication it was extra from their employees. Seriously, these people need to be trained to tell you when something is extra. Sometimes I feel like I just want a tshirt for Chipotle that says "yes I know the guac is extra", but at least they are considerate of your dime. Burrito Beach will nickle and dime you whenever possible!
(1)Brian P.
My go to breakfast (and sometimes lunch) spot when I'm working out of my company's Chicago office. I love the fact that they make eggs for the breakfast burritos to order. Most of the ingredients seem pretty fresh (with the exception of the chirizo). Make sure to add some hot sauce to your breakfast before running out as without it their food lacks kick.
(3)Andrew L.
I go to this particular Burrito Beach at least once a week. They have a nice selection of meats for burritos, tacos, nachos, and if you're feeling like you need to eat healthier - salad bowls. They're generous with the food and toppings, and they're very friendly. The prices have been going up a bit over the past couple years, but it's worth it for the quantity of food. Here's a tip, don't pass up the chance to have nachos for lunch... nachos here are great, with chicken/beef, cheese, jalapenos, lettuce/tomato/onions... it's a whole lotta food... just make sure you take a fork and a lot of napkins....

You can't go wrong here. The food is just as good as Chipotle, and the service staff is on point. They have the ordering process down to a science. Very friendly people, reasonable prices for downtown Chicago.

Similar to Chipotle, they have the ingredients ready and they just put everything together after they heat up the tortilla. I had the Baja Chicken burrito which was really good. Maybe it was because I was starving though... My burrito ended up being around $6. I'm giving it three stars because I was really thirsty throughout the day after eating it. I guess there must have been too much salt. They have free wi-fi though!

When I'm in the 225 building . . . I'll hit this place for breakfast. They make a very tasty ham/cheese egg burrito that I actually really love, and have ordered for lunch as well. YUM!
