| - Bloor West, between St. George to Bathurst is largely missing lunch spots that are fast, affordable, and filling. Burrito Bandidos is one of those few, precious, locations where you can get truly delicious food at very reasonable prices.
Over the past year a group of us from work have eaten just about everything on the menu here. The most commonly purchased items are the bean and cheese burrito (sometimes with soy), halibut burrito, and chicken quesadilla. They're all wonderful options from a generally good menu.
All burritos come in two sizes: large and small. For 99.9% of people the small is plenty large. The large is almost certainly bigger than your stomach and, even if you do eat it all, you're probably going to feel too full for the rest of the day/evening. When in doubt, choose small.
There are, however, a few words of advice/warning that you should know:
1. This place can get busy during the lunch rush. But you can place your order ahead of time either online or by phone. Do so and you can save yourself a bunch of time;
2. The burritos can be spicy. They add both jalapeƱos and a nice habanero sauce. If you don't do hot, just ask for them to not include these particular items;
3. The vegan burritos tend to be more saucy than the non-vegan ones. So, if you eat vegan, still get food from here but be sure to get some extra napkins.
Finally, I would warn you away from just one menu item: the pulled pork. Sadly the pulled pork at Burrito Bandidos is stringy and not nearly moist enough. Do yourself (and your teeth!) a favour and get just about anything else on the menu. Or at least get some toothpicks at the nearby Shoppers or Metro; you'll need them to get the meat out of your teeth post-burrito.
