I've come to believe that this is the best of all the chain giant burrito places. It's got more flavor than Chipotle and Moe's, for sure, and I think this location even stands out among the others in town. The people who work here are super chill. Most weekdays they have a special, like $6.99 for an entree and a drink, and I usually just get that. I've eaten here probably three or four times a month for two or three years now and have yet to have a bad experience or dish.

I am only giving this place (the Clayton St. location) 2 stars just based on the food that I had. The staff was actually wonderful and helped me along as this was my first time here. But then, like some previous reviewers, I realized that this was pretty much like Chipotle's. So starting with the good. The chips they serve along with your "meal" were good. 2 different varieties. Just basic on what you can buy in a store. Good salty taste. The tomatillo salsa was good as well. Cant go wrong with both the sweet and unsweetened tea. Now the bad. I tried the jerk fish burrito since it was on special. And that was a mistake, It just didnt taste good. Just no flavoring and not sure what kind of fish they used. It actually ruined the whole burrito. Now dont get me wrong, their other selections could be good. And I would be willing to go back and give them another shot. if I do, I will be sure to order the steak or chicken.

I eat here at least three days a week. Its great. They have the greatest tomatillo sauce in the history of tomatillo sauce. I am considering bringing a mason jar and asking to purchase a jar full. I always get a chicken quesadilla but they also have good burritos and shockingly good tofu. Also they have 11 cent taco day, I think its on tuesday but I am not one percent on that.

Well, I'm working in Athens so it must be time to get a burrito for lunch. Damn, doesn't anyone eat anything else here? So, working my ass off with my buddy Carlitos and, surprise surprise, lunch is a burrito. Oh, but wait, it's not from Willie's or whatever. It was good, filling ,etc. I'd just like something non-Mexican for once.

When we came back to Athens to visit family, my husband insisted on stopping at Al's Beef downtown. As suspected, it was not vegetarian friendly. When I asked the woman behind the counter if there were any vegetarian restaurants nearby, she drew a blank. So I walked right next door and stumbled across Barberitos. Half the menu advertised vegetarian and vegan. Hallelujah! The vegan burrito was as big as my head and very, very tasty. My son had a smaller size chicken burrito and that was a big hit. The service was fast, friendly and helpful. They were also extremely patient as it took my son forever to decide what he wanted. My only critique was the salsa was way too salty and the side tortilla chips were a little greasy. Minor things really. All in all, two thumbs way up.

When I was working in Athens, this was definitely one of my favorite places to go for lunch when I was downtown. I would usually pick either the nachos of the heavy D burrito but either one would always have the spicy chicken. I would like to point out that the one downtown is the only Barberitos in Athens that doesn't pre-make the spicy chicken. They take the cooked chicken and throw it back on the flat top with the hot sauce so it is hot and seared in every time. I even asked the manager to through some jerk seasoning on there as well since I knew they kept it behind the counter for cooking the fish on Friday. Let's just say, that is my go to every time I am there. All of the ingredients are fresh and make a real good burrito or nachos every time. This is usually one of my first stops for lunch whenever I am back in town for some reason.

Definitely a place whose popularity is disproportionate to its quality. It's not horrible, it's just basically a clone to Qdoba and similar eateries--go in, get some quasi-fresh ingredients in a wrap or without one, and eat. The prices are fairly cheap, but the quality of the ingredients hasn't much impressed me. It also gets incredibly busy during lunch time in the fall and spring semesters.

Best burritos in town! A lot more options than the other guys and you can tell their ingredients are "farm fresh" as they claim.

I've been to two locations: Epps Bridge and Lumpkin. I greatly prefer the Epps Bridge site, where the staff is more friendly and the food tastes better. I love the giant burritos and usually order the super vegetarian, minus the rice. The meals are filling and somehow elude duplication, even if I buy the same ingredients and try it at home. How do they do that?

Good burritos, big selection of ingredients, and a super value if you ditch the sour cream and guac. While their commitment to fresh ingredients is obvious, I'd take their new healthy tangent more seriously if the sodium content of their food didn't immediately give me a headache. Much better than Moe's, and a nice alternative to Willy's and Chipotle.

I should be sleeping instead of writing a review for a burrito place in a city i haven't lived in a year. But the fact that this place is coming my mind should tell you something--i miss it!! I love their burritos and especially Fish burritos on Fridays. I recommend you add a bit of their green cilantro based sauce to them at the table. I am also a huge fan of their nachos. I prefer to have mine extra toasty. It takes some convincing to get the staff to let the chips brown a bit. I think they worry i'll complain that my chips are burned, but little do they know how much tastier they are this way. I always get chicken or fish burritos, but think the steak of perfect on the nachos. Anyone know if I can get some shipped out of state? me thinks not. :-(
