Burrito Boyz — Restaurant in Ontario

if you’re seeing a near five star rated burrito joint, know that this was earned 10+ years ago. Times have changed.

Rewind to June 2015. 12:45 on a Thursday. You stroll up with three friends. The lineup is out the door. You finally make it inside. You’re greeted with an electric atmosphere. Loud Music. A packed house. You don’t know if you’re gonna get a table. You get your order placed. You hear from the kitchen, the Canadian university students running the store all poking fun at each other and making jokes. The place is alive. You look down at your order number. 237. They’ve barely been open for 2 hours. This place is busy. You get your food. Take a bite. Fresh, juicy, flavour. Literally the best burrito you’ve ever had. You find yourself back 2-5 times per week. Especially for a post gym meal.

Those days are apparently long over.

I moved away a few years ago to the other side of the city. I was recently back for the lunchtime, “rush”. We walked into the store, empty. Now staffed by TFWs. The fun Canadian university students are gone. After struggling to translate my order from English to whatever the counterperson native language was. And ultimately, seeing it was still wrong on the screen. I gave up and took my order receipt. Single digit. Lunchtime “rush”. Sat down with my friend. I remarked this is probably going to be a huge letdown and destroy all the fun memories I had here. It was. Mediocre burrito. Dry. Lacking sauce. Somehow not having any cheese on it, despite asking for all toppings.

Don’t get me wrong , the store was clean and the food was edible. But the magic that warranted a five star rating from a decade to ago is long gone and should be updated.

Places with the electric atmosphere I described still exist in London. This is no longer one of them. I won’t be returning.

If you think I’m a negative Nancy, I generally leave glowing 5 star reviews when service is truly above and beyond. This is my first 1 star review.

If you’re a former staff member reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Burrito Boyz was an icon in the city. Some of my funnest nights started or ended at a burrito boyz. It was the best feeling in the world to walk into a burrito boyz and the atmosphere the staff created. If you’re current management reading this, you killed something that was truly special to make a couple extra bucks. And judging by my order number, you didn’t even make those couple...

It is fine when I had my first try at Burrito Boyz and got the seafood shrimp burrito there. However, my last visit over a year ago was not so great and not to make you folks feel down. I had the chicken there and it was so bland. It is so flavourless and I cannot take another bite making me feel to take the lost what you paid for. Whoever is making the food. They should take a sample of the food to try the meat to meet its standard including checking the quality, expiration or the meat is still good before serving to their customers. This is why, I should have gone to Costco to eat at their food court there. I cannot believe the chicken taste so bland and never had I taste something like that before in every Mexican inspired food before. This is why, I would rather go to Chipotle just a few kilometres away just takes you from Wonderland Road to Fanshawe Park Road across from Masonville Mall at the plaza with Loblaws, Jack Astor’s restaurant, Pet Smart, Indigo Book Store is located. I would rather go to Chipotle and I never once had a bad experience there before. Their meat and everything taste way better there. I would rather just go Chipotle in the Masonville area next time and better what you are paying for. I hope they can make it better next time in the future. For now, if you are not getting your money’s worth then you are better off going to Chipotle. Burrito Boyz, Wonderland Road location in London, Ontario. Please do better...
