| - Burrito Boyz is not, despite claims I've heard to the contrary, particularly authentic Mexican food, but it is awfully tasty and seeing them branch out into the burbs is really great news.
Long a staple of Toronto's club district, Burrito Boyz (and now, since the owners parted ways, Burrito Banditoz) locations offer a very simple menu of takeout burritos that are flavourful and filling. The beef is the obvious choice but, while it is delicious, I recommend exploring the pulled pork they recently added to their menu or, if you're willing to trust me and give it a try, the Halibut. If meat is not your cup of... meat, the bean & cheese is a stalwart and capable companion.
By and large you won't go wrong putting everything on it - their salsa has some heat, but not a ton, and their veg is consistent and fresh. The only thing I might hold back on is the burrito sauce, a runny mess that adds flavour, but also slop.
Veterans of the Toronto locations will remember the chaos of the ordering process - go here, tell them what you want, they give you a number, stand in another line, remember your number, tell that guy what you ordered as well, get a card, &c. Charming though it is, franchising seems to have brought some rationality to the process. The Brampton location takes your order once, gives you a numbered receipt, and has ample waiting room while your burrito is prepped and thrown on the griddle.
Not the best burrito I've ever had, but almost certainly the best takeout burrito in Brampton, really consistent, and bonus points for setting up shop a block east of the Taco Bell.
