Friendly and helpful staff but underwhelming food quality. Limited kid menu options. My steak burrito was disappointing. Some huge chunks of usually chewy steak mixed with smaller ones. SW Chipotle has gone downhill but at least the steak is good and uniform sizes. The queso was served cool, isn't it supposed to be heated up? Cool ambiance including 21 exit signs. Pickled jalapeños were good but a micro size serving. Good location. Don't see many reasons to go back.

The Cali Burrito! Let me just say this ... this burrito hit the spot! Wow! The size of this was huge and it was jam packed with just the right amount of flavor! You can taste everything was house made and with love. It had French fries, roasted corn, beans, cheese, pico de gallo, and cheeba sauce. Usually it comes with steak but I subbed for chicken. 10/10!! I was a little sad it was $16 but the size and taste but up for my pocket being a little hurt. Would I buy this again ? YES! Would I recommend this for people to try? HELL YES! The green salsa is spicy so heads up if your taste buds or tummy can't handle heat. But I promise both salsas are amazing !

Bonsoir tout le monde ! This place is like chipotle and Del Taco had a baby! It used delicious ingredients, especially their yummy sauces! I do think it's a bit ridiculous that charge for EVERYTHING! You're already paying enough, so tacking on $1.50 here and $.75 here really adds up. There hostess was very nice, and helpful. The place had a lot going on, it seemed pretty cluttered and not much space to sit. But, I grade based mai my on the food as I'm more of a foodie. If your food is great, not much else matters! I would definitely recommend trying this over chipotle, and I also like supporting local businesses. À la prochaine !

I love the chicken bowl. Good price for proportion size. Good for two people to eat.

Look, you could go to chipotle. Or you could class or up and go to Qdoba. OR you could come here. Boxcar hippie is all of those chain restaurants and more. The ingredients taste fresh, the portions are good and the price is about the same. Granted, it was $42 for two burritos and some chips and queso but, the chips are unlike anywhere else. They are seasoned and they are also layered if that makes sense. The burritos are fantastic and I would eat one every day if it made sense logistically. Please, try this place. You will not be disappointed.

This place is amazing!! It’s affordable, has beautiful scenery and the food is amazing. The only downside is there is only one location. Definitely put a location in Lakeville or somewhere closer to the cities!! 1000000% better than chipotle!!!

The food was good, spent about $95 on the 4 of us, the serving sizes are huge. One burrito bowl is enough for almost three people. I wouldn't recommend the flour tortilla chips, they just don't taste as good as corn but it was still decent. I loved how many salsas there were available and the cashier/server was super polite, I believe his name was Matthew and he was great. Overall, pretty good food, I'm not sure if I quite like the uniqueness of the flavor (doesn't taste quite like Mexican food) but it wasn't bad. Overall, it's a good place to eat.Vegetarian options: Half of the menu is vegan/vegetarian friendly and clearly marked.Dietary restrictions: Most of the menu is gluten free and marked as such. All delicious.

Food was amazing! We were greeted and kindly explained the menu process. The atmosphere was ??You do need to clean up the table after yourself and that’s fine but they brought it out on a tray but didn’t leave one so clearing the table was kinda messy width more than one trip to the trashWould recommend!!!

One of the best restaurants in Rochester! Always fresh food and fast service. Pricer than Chipotle, but completely worth it - one burrito bowl lasts more than one meal or can easily be split between two people. Decor is creative and fun too.

Their food is phenomenal. They give good amounts of protein every time. The citrus chicken bowl is just one of the best things ever. Staff is also welcoming & get the food out quickly. Highly recommend.

Amazing HUGE burrito! It was my first time there and the woman at the counter was very helpful. It is similar to Chipotle (which I love) but the flavors and freshness was way better. Also this burrito is huge! Way bigger than Chipotle. I would say it would be easy to share but you are going to want the leftovers for yourself ?
