You may notice a lot of Mexican food in my reviews. I'm not going to apologize for it being among my comfort foods. A good burrito or taco comes with expectations and sometimes let downs. So after seeing a few photos from a place called Big Burrito, we had to investigate.
It was a little early afternoon when we walked in. The drive-thru was active at this little shop as we walked up to the counter. As you can see from the menu, there are a lot of options. We grabbed some rolled tacos, a bean and cheese burrito and a carne asada burrito with guacamole and cheese. Food arrived pretty quickly giving me enough time to hit the salsa bar. They have a good red sauce that you will see in the corner of one of the photos. Bean and cheese burrito was seasoned well and was just what we were looking for. The carne asada burrito was great... beef chopped to a perfect size, seasoned well and not overcooked. The rolled tacos also hit the spot...may order a larger batch next time.
It has now been a year in the area experiencing some of our favorite foods. Yet, we have been searching for a taco shop that compares to two of our favorites back in Las Vegas. Big Burrito is the closest we have come and now we just need one a little closer to our house.
Update: We had time to kill and went back to try some other goodies. Ordered a carne asada quesadilla, some carne asada tacos, another bean and cheese burrito and a bean tostada (to bring to a friend.) That quesadilla is beautiful and massive. It is so big that, in the photo we took, you can only see 2 and a half pieces peeking out from the 'to go' box. We will share half of it for breakfast tomorrow morning. Tacos were perfect. I will keep searching for great food but, so far, I enjoy...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI feel bad giving this place 1 star!!! But there isnāt anything good I can say to this place other than a lukewarm customer service I got from the cashier.. so I guess, thatās for my 1 starā¦.I think there is also some language barrier that makes it a little harder to order or ask about the menu.. Iām sad, mad, and disappointed. I wanted to like this place, I wanted to support it but itās just NOT it!!!
I ordered the Carne Asada Burrito (about $10) and I even asked the cashier if it was beef steak and she said yes. I got home, bit into my burrito and surprised what I got myself intoā¦. I was pretty confused because all I got was hamburger ground beef NOT diced, not sliced, not anything that would pass as a āsteak.ā Itās GROUND BEEF!!! If I had known, I wouldāve went to Taco Bell for it. The āguacamoleā was a little questionable. I mean.. where was it in my burrito? Canāt tell at all. Itās watery! Was it a Guac flavored ground beef or what??! LOL.
Usually, I will come back and try again or try another food on the menu but Iām just afraid all of their āCarne asadaā will all be hamburger ground beef. Itās not for me. PLEASE GO TO LAS TAPATIAS #3 BY WILLOW SPRINGS TO GET YOUR...

Tucked away in Killeen, Big O Burrito is one of those little local spots you almost donāt want to tell too many people aboutābecause then the secretās out. Whether youāre rolling in for breakfast or dinner, this place knows how to hit the spot.
Their breakfast tacos are the perfect morning pick-me-upāsimple, fresh, and loaded with flavor. The carne asada burrito? Fantastic. Juicy, perfectly seasoned beef wrapped in a tortilla thatās soft yet holds its own. And then thereās the chimichangaācrispy, golden, and downright addictive.
But if you want to know where the real magic happens, itās the carne asada fries. Generous portions, perfectly cooked fries, loaded with tender steak, cheese, and toppings that come together like the ultimate comfort food.
Fast, friendly, and absolutely deliciousāBig O Burrito is proof that sometimes the best food comes from the places that donāt try too hard to impress. They let the flavor do the talking.
ā Rating: 5/5 ā Quick, yummy, and...
