Hot Head Burritos — Restaurant in Newport

This was my first time at Hot Head Burritos and I was definitely not disappointed. Of course, I've been a Chipotle fanatic for years but lately I have become disillusioned with the supposed burrito king. I have been looking for a better alternative for a while now and I think I have found it. So, the layout is relatively the same as Chipotle but where it differs is the variety Hot Head Burritos offers. The main attraction here is the vast amount of sauces you're able to throw on your burrito. I sampled the 'Straight Habanero' and was immediately coughing and hiccuping from it's heat. For people who are looking for flavor without the heat, there is a heat-less alternative called 'Sweet Habanero'. Anyways, I got a plain chicken and steak burrito with cheese, lettuce and sour cream. Usually the first burrito I try at any new joint I go light on the ingredients so I can taste the meat better. The chicken and steak were both juicy and not overcooked. The steak in particular had more flavor than the gelatinous cuts of steak at Chipotle. Again, I was not disappointed. The pricing is similar to chipotle, as well. For a burrito, a bag of chips, cup of salsa and a bottle of water, I paid about 11 bucks for my meal. There's more I could say, but I've blabbed long enough. If you haven't tried Hot Head Burrito yet, do so....

I usually don’t like writing a review but this time I think I should. I have been coming here for years and I usually get a good food from here and a lot of time cookies. The food most of the time is great. I love it since i like something easy and healthy. Not so much of fried food I admit I like the chips they used before now that they deep fried freshly in the store.

I saw an old guy complaint that the store was trying to charge him small burrito price when he ordered small burrito with taco meat and cheese. He was furious that they don’t charge him $3 like he was charged before and saying to a person that it costs nothing more than a $1.50 to make this burritos.

honestly, I don’t understand people like these. These small businesses have more costs than just the food cost. Rents, utilities, labors, etc. I understand in this economy we all are trying to be cheap. If you want cheap food and budget control then stay home and make your own food.

People are mad when the store is trying to do food portions control. 🤦‍♀️

Keep up good work Newport. Don’t let these people...

Hot heads is my absolute favorite place to eat, usually I go to the Milford OH location but recently moved closer to Newport so after not eating all day I stopped in to grab two bowls, one for now and one for tomorrow. I originally asked for spicy steak and when the girl put the meat in my bowl I didn’t think it looked like steak but I have a hard time speaking up so I just went with it, once we got to the point of checking out I was shocked to see me being charged for chicken but again I just went with it because while I’ve never tried their chicken I know I generally like it. Once I got home and bit into it I realized it was not chicken? Maybe pork I’m not sure as I don’t eat it but it’s definitely not steak nor chicken. Super disappointing as I was really looking forward to eating and now I have two bowls going to complete waste. 😭 I know it was partially my fault as I didn’t speak up when I had the opportunity before paying I’m just super confused on how I asked for steak, got charged for chicken, and...
