Am a fan of of Burrito Bar franchises, mainly because their food is simple & healthy. Nothing beats a naked burrito, plain , fast & freshly prepared with black beans, fresh red cabbage & cos lettuce. Then add to that pica de gallo with lashings of chilli. Oh & not to forget those sweet potato wedges, thick cut, cheap & cheerful & tasty

So good! A little exxy but you get your monies worth they do big portions. And the service was excellent! It only took like 10 minutes to bring our food out and the food was awesome!

I am not sure why there are bad reviews. The nachos were amazing! Light & crispy, tasty and a good amount on the plate. Service was great. Recommend it!

Came with a voucher for 2 people with my boyfriend. I had the crispy fish burrito and he got the ultimate Mexican. They were good. Not spectacular but still tasty and filling. The Mexican fries and the churro were so yum!! We both got a corona as well. Very nice deal!

We've eaten here once before and to be honest, I can't remember what I thought of it the first time. But I didn't complain when my husband bought their latest group deal for $25- mexe fries, two burritos, two beers and a churros! Yum. We dined last night and were really happy with the food and service. I had the Ultimate Mexican burrito (chicken + beef) and my husband had the pulled pork. Both meats deliciously soft + rice + beans etc. Most burritos around Brisbane are horrendously bland but this had a really nice flavour thanks to the tasty pico di gallo. The fries were pretty nice, came with seasoning and some mayoish dressing. The churros, served with choccy sauce and icecream, were delicious. The service was friendly and timely and we really enjoyed tasting the Mexican beers- they also have a large range of Mexican soft drinks. Great value, we will visit again.

The Burrito Bar - South Brisbane. Beginning its sprawl from Rosalie to nearby the cinema at South Bank, the Burrito Bar has taken a logical step for where to be to get clientele. Much like the other competition around town, it is beginning to realise how much Australian residents have become accustomed to Mexican and not what is actually Tex-Mex. This should be seen as a good thing overall, the Burrito Bar is still pretty good with some setbacks.

Before seeing a movie, I went here with a friend.

As much as it has improved the concept of Mexican, it is still a fast-food version - good but it will never be the real thing. The ingredients are relatively fresh and I did not leave feeling greasey or too bloated. Commendations will be given from branching out from the tortilla-style foods and into other Mexican dishes like ribs and corn; there is also an interesting fusion in some dishes such as nacho fries. Which leads to what I had.

I tried their Torta, which is a Mexican burger. The filling I chose was chorizo. This was pretty good quality overall and was like eating a buritto in burger form. It did get a bit monotonous aside from the smokey flavour of the sausage. Along side came some fries which had a drizzle of chipotle mayonaise which was tangy and quite good.

Although it was to share, I got to try most of the beef nachos which were fantastic and a big meal on their own. It was piled high with guacamole, salsa and delicious slow-cooked beef. The chips were tortilla instead of the packaged and overtly-flavoured ones from a packet, and felt fairly light eating them.

To drink, I tried the tamarind variety of the Jarittos soda. This is a brand I actually really like, being served traditionally in a glass bottle and without the scary corn syrup. It had a slightly sour taste to it that is a far cry from the sweetness of lemonade or cola.

This place is alright to go to if in a rush before seeing a movie. It might be a default place in the future.

LOVE the nacho fries. So good. The staff are lovely and the food is all good drinking food. The burritos are super filling so I normally get the quesadillas so I can fit in those goddamn amazing fries!

I been there couple of times but now it has become one of my favourite food outlet! The food is so delicious, fresh and awesome service! Burrito Bar at south bank is the best out of all as far as I know but I would recommend you guys to try all the outlet. Trust me the food quality, ambiance of the place and staff won't let you down!

The best thing ask for the guy named Tushar! He is the man who will treat you like a king / queen ;)

Great food !!!. Mouth watering food, tastes awesome. Service was amazing. As soon as we stepped in the restaurant we have been welcomed by the staff and we were handed a menu pad. We sat for a while, chose the items to be ordered and then went to the point of sale and ordered the items and we were given a table number. The food was on our table in no time while we were having beers. While we were eating we thought of having something sweet to end our best meal, so we ordered the items on the deserts menu. The Burritos we ordered were very delicious and the deserts were awesome, the best to end one's meal. Without even a second thought I wanna say ' I will be visiting again, not only by self but with my family and friends and will certainly tell to more food lovers especially Mexican'.

Good NEWS!! New Management has taken the Soutbank Burrito Bar. This is my second visit to Burrito Bar, my past experience was really bad when I visited 6 months back, the tables are not clean, the quality of the food is not good and the serving by staff is worse. As I am fond of Mexican food it made me to visit again in spite of my bad experience, this time I am SURPRISED!! And DELIGHTED!!!
The Quality of the food is good and YUMMYY and the staff were so pleasing. When I enquired the Management has changed and the New Management is really doing well. Keep up guys!!!!

Yummy Sauces. Would recommend the Burrito Bar for those who want to taste some authentic Mexican salas. Chipotle sauce was deliciously hot while the tomitilo sauce was nice and sweet. Great place to take the kids with the food coming out quickly and the staff more than happy to accomodate their requests. Just a shame they use flour instead of corn tortillas.

Not authentic Mexican, but not horrible. The Burrito Bar is located a couple of doors away from the Southbank Cinemas making this a great spot to have a fairly fast, inexpensive and filling meal. In that this is fast food, there is no way that this is truly authentic Mexican cuisine, but that doesn't mean what you get is bad. I was impressed by the size and the amount of ingredients in the dishes we ordered.

Arriving at The Burrito Bar on a Wednesday (April 11) evening around 7pm, we found the place was packed! Only a few tables left and still quite a line up, my partner went to order for us while I held the last table inside.

I ordered the Nacho Fries and in that I could choose the type of meat from pork chicken, mince beef or steak, I had the steak ($11.90). My partner ordered the large Mariachi Burrito ($11.90) and joked that it would be a Mariachi band bringing it out. (I hoped not!)

When this venue is filled to capacity, we found it quite loud, but it was of a happy, boisterous nature coming from a certain age group that were definitely there to see a movie, so it didn't really bother us.

My meal showed up first along with someone else's meal, which eventually found its home and a few moments later, my partner's arrived. The size of my nacho fries was quite large! Lots of chips topped with a lot of cheese! The steak was plentiful in it (complete with one piece of pork in it) and jalapeños with a big kick to them - not for the faint of heart! I like spicy foods and this was quite hot!

The large Mariachi burrito contained pork, rice, black beans, hot tomatillo sauce, pico de gallo, lettuce and guacamole… This burrito was huge! Generous amount of pork mixed with all of the other ingredients made each bite a great combination of Mexican flavours.

One taste I did notice with my meal was that the meat was precooked. Not to say it wasn't fresh, but it had that distinct taste to me that it had been sitting in the fridge. I don't believe that it had been cooked on the spot and served immediately afterwards. It wasn't bad, but you do get what you pay for.

We noticed that The Burrito Bar has Taco Tuesdays: 2/$6 (regularly $4 each) all day. My partner and I agreed that this would be something we'd come back for! This by no means is a gourmet restaurant, but it isn't bad value. It is worth checking out for the price and size of the meals, but don't be disappointed when you realize it's not authentic.

I randomly tried the Burrito Bar on Saturday night for a late night burrito and I was pleasantly surprised
Service was very friendly and even though they were quite busy my burrito came out pretty quick.
it's nothing fancy just a cool, cheap and simple mexican place which I will probably be back with friends.

Always great!. Southbank has a number of good quality restaurants, and a lot of poor quality fast food rubbish. Thankfully, Burrito Bar bridges the gap and provides a high level of fast-food in an environment that encourages you to sit down, eat, and stay a little longer.

The staff are always friendly, the food is always fantastic. The pricing is great with specials almost every day of the week.

The Burrito Bar have embraced Social Media and have great interaction with their followers on a variety of platforms!

Mexican Quick Fix. A nice quick fix before the movie next door. Went to try their $2 Taco lunch special, for that price, it is reasonably good and tasty, quite fast as well.

If the service continues to be this bad the burrito bar will go out of business on this point alone! Our meals took over 30 minutes to make, they tried to make amends by offering chips and dip, I just wanted my nachos!!! Overall food quality was good and the price was reasonable. 2.5stars

Excellent service. I had a wonderful experience here today; both the food and service were great. There seems to be a lot of mexican places opening up recently and I must say The Burrito Bar might be my favourite. The chicken and guacamole on my burrito were so fresh and tasty, and it went down very well with a mexican beer that I tried which wasn't a corona! The service was excellent as well - the whole time I was served with a very friendly smile. Will be back for more.

If you love authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex food (Nachos is Tex-Mex people), then you will LOVE this place! I love good Mexican food. Problem is it's hard to find, especially when Tex-Mex restaurants promote themselves as Mexican because they assume that Aussies either won't notice, or don't know any better. The Burrito Bar is NOT one of those places! The place has a new Manager as of two weeks ago and this is a woman that knows and LOVES Mexican food. They call Pico, Pico (not Salsa, which is different)! I'm really sorry to see all the bad reviews on this site and can only chalk it up to the previous management being totally crap. Please give this place a fresh chance, I strongly believe that you won't be disappointed. I've Been here twice in two days, all the staff have been friendly, full of energy and have gone out of their way to make me feel special. They even made me a gluten-free Flautas especially for me while I was here. Now that's love, and that's customer service that was worth me signing up to foodie websites so that I can share what a wonderful experience I've had here.

Had the burrito meal Deal on Easter sat They have a 15% surcharge which all places do. The front counter was amazing and very funny. Table delivery was on point and food was yummy as had a extra hot chicken burrito and waiter said it was hot like me cracked me up. Only down fall is out door area is a little dirty and date for such a prime location burito bar should be a flag ship to show off brand to all tourists.

I have been meaning to try this place for a while and today I had the chance for a quick lunch. They are running good deals, maybe because G and G are just across the road. Anyway I had a chicken burrito, mex. fries and ginger beer for around $12.90 and it was pretty good. The chicken burrito had rice and black beans with the chicken. I say treat this place as a convenient lunch or dinner place and don't expect 5 star mex. The service was good and the food came quickly. Good value.
