Chino Locos Original

This place is amazing! Whenever I’m craving burritos only Chino Loco’s will do. And I can’t even imagine burritos without chow mien inside of it now. You have to try this place you won’t be disappointed!

If you want good food without crap then you should eat here. Nothing but beans, veggies and real meat in these burritos. They cook it in right in front of you with fresh ingredients there’s no trickery or skullduggery here. You really can’t beat the value for the price it’s nearly impossible to get a freshly cooked meal for $ 10 all-​in in this area. Except for maybe a couple of places you’ll have to sit down and pay an exorbitant tip for a little plate of nonsense. Don’t bother, just get a couple of burritos. These guys just crank out the burritos all day long and they’re nice guys too. I have them on speed dial I just mash the 7 key and boom I’m connected. The tap on their debit machine is always fast too.

I was so excited to come here, having read the reviews. But I have to say it was quite disappointing. The service was lovely — the guys were nice and quick. Otherwise I would’ve given it this one star. The food made me sick within an hour. I’m not sure if it was the noodles or the puller pork but something was off definitely. Also the burrito comprised of 70% which is disappointing as well. And the optional toppings were sparse (example beans, guacamole). I’m a big fan of burrito boys and other Mexican places in the city — sadly this is not one of them.

Chino Locos is amazing. Some of the best burritos I have ever had and the people behind the counter are always great.

I had the pulled pork burrito with noodles and the works. I actually found that there too many ingredients in the hard to eat burrito. And the flavours didn’t seem to compliment each other. I would try again but would reduce the items on it so that the various tastes don’t get lost. Cheap price and filling though!

Chinese and Mexican burritos? I was skeptical to say the least but the concept already sounds delicious. As it dawned upon me, I realized there can be so many incredible combinations from the clash of these two cultures and I just can’t wait to try it.
They delivered on this concept very well for the most part. This was a very delicious flavour and texture experience. Every bite you take you get a bit of earthiness from the beans, creaminess from the avocado and to freshen that up you get some lime juice, tomatoes, onions and fresh herbs. Then you get hit from the saltiness of the soy and spiciness of the peppers and round it off with some noodles for a slight chew at the end. I have long thought that burritos were textually lacking but the noodles really take it to the next level.
All in all the food was great but the biggest letdown perhaps is having my burrito lukewarm and even cold for certain spots. Also, their selection is quite limited considering both cultures have so much to offer in terms of food. So I’ll deduct a star but definitely this place is a must try.

Fair price for one of the best burritos Toronto has to offer. The place is tiny and a bit sticky, but you only spend 5 – 10 minutes in there thinking about your burrito. That perfect burrito with delicious chicken, rice and noodles, guacamole that is excellent, rice, beans, veggies, sour cream, cheese, salsa… get in my belly! By the time you are done day dreaming about your delicious burrito, your name is called!

Yum! Original burrito concept with a bit of Asian flare. One of our go-to’s on nights when we lack food inspiration. Ask about their special of the week. Sometimes filling is general tao or jerk chicken. Reliable and tasty but beware, the hot sauce is really hot!

Gluten-​free review:
This place is known for their burritos but they also offer their burritos as tacos with corn tortillas, which is great for their gluten-​free customers. I not only have a gluten intolerance but I’m also allergic to avocados (it sucks, I know) so I get my tacos without guacomole. My go-​to is the rib-​eye steak tacos with no guac, and their serving of steak is quite generous. Some of their tacos are not gluten-​free though because of the soy sauce, so make sure you check with them first.
They’re very accommodating to my allergies and pretty much know me by name now. I had one encounter where they forgot to omit the guac. I called in, came back and they replaced my tacos. Now whenever I go back they remember the incident and double and triple check to make sure there is no guac on my tacos.
The location is very small though (3 seats at the window) and they prepare everything in the same area, so if you have celiac’s disease this won’t be ideal due to potential cross-​contamination. My sensitivity isn’t very severe so I don’t get a reaction from the tacos.
In terms of cost there is no price difference to get tacos instead of the burritos. Depending on whether you get a drink it’s about $ 10 – 15 per person including tax.
Tip: Call ahead so you don’t have to wait long. When they’re really busy the wait can be 20 minutes.

I like this spot! Very original take on burritos and the food is good. The place is tight though and hot in the summer.

We first ate here a few years ago. This is our second back since then. We had fond memories of General Tso’s chicken and noodles in a burrito. Unfortunately, it’s not available anymore. Our burritos were still good and the BBQ shrimp in mine tasted great.

These guys make amazing food. Everyone is very nice. It gets busy, so order before you go. They got me hooked on burritos so I started trying burritos everywhere I went and I can honestly say these are the best. The jerk chicken and pulled pork are my favorites but I often get the vegan because my wife likes it.
Can’t say enough about this place and the people running it. Highly recommended

I really want to give a higher rating because the food is great, but I’ve had my Just Eat delivery order cancelled by them twice. It really sucks when you’re starving and stuck at work and you find out the burrito you ordered isn’t coming. Yesterday I was willing to pay over $ 18 (including delivery fee, HST, and tip) just for one burrito. I was that desperate for a meal at work that wasn’t pizza. But alas, no burrito for me.
Why be on Just Eat at all if you’re just going to cancel the orders?

Chinese Mexican? That’s a first!
Considering the rating and the number of reviews, my boyfriend wanted to try this place (even after we devoured two burgers down the street).
Chino Locos is a little grungy hole-​in-​the-​wall burrito shop with interesting Mexican-​inspired décor. It appears to be quite a popular takeout spot for those who live in the neighbourhood. While waiting, we noticed many people had called ahead and placed their orders in advance.
My boyfriend ordered the Fish Burrito. «Sauteed white basa fish, guacamole, tomatoes, edamame beans, red onions, black beans, cilantro, cheese, sour cream, and chipotle sauce for $ 6.99» according to their website. You can order any burrito with chow mein instead of brown rice, but we chose the brown rice just to keep it simple since it was our first visit.
The burrito was filled with a lot of ingredients, but unfortunately, it tasted very bland. The fish lacked seasoning and the whole burrito lacked sauce. There was some guacamole, but there was definitely not enough sour cream and chipotle sauce inside.
The price is great for the generous amount of protein and the size of the burrito, but… it was not as tasty as we had expected.

Good burrito
Great sense of humor when I asked for shark fin
I was skeptical about a burrito with noodles
But was pleasantly surprised.

You guys like Mexican? You like Chinese food? Do you like burritos that communicate with you telepathically? Well, do I have a Asian fusion burrito place for you. This place.
Had the fish burrito last time I was here and it was great. Didn’t talk or have any emotions but still tasted real good. This time I ordered the jerk chicken special burrito with chow mien noodles and things got interesting.
As I was eating it the burrito started to speak to me inside my mind. Saying things like «good eh?» and «yeah bud.» It was like eating my best friend who was also a hockey coach. Weird thing is, I wasn’t freaked out. Felt so normal. He said his name was Jeremy and that he’d see my on the other side (poo out my butt) and boy he was NOT wrong. Haha
Great burritos. Ask for the talking one. Tell ‘em Jeremy sent you.

Man, these guys know how to prepare a tasy-​finger-​lickin-​good burrito. The place is pretty crammed, meant primarily for take-​out type orders. I’d put these guys on the same level with Burrito Boyz. They take about 10 – 12 minutes to make your burrito when they’re busy, but it’s worth it. If you’re driving by, you owe it to yourself to stop by and try one of their burritos. You won’t regret ;)

The burritos are good, no doubt. Service is generally solid.
The original/​Greenwood location is a bit shabby, dirty with boxes piled everywhere. It’s not a «sit and eat.» This location is perfect for a shabby, crummy old diner scene in a movie. The fridge is covered with banknotes from around the world, and there is interesting «décor» throughout the place. It has a bar where people once sat and ate; it’s covered in boxes and newspapers now. If you’re a hoarder, this place is a dream come true.
Last time I went, their credit card machine was down. They didn’t tell me this when I called in my order. While I was standing there, I overheard one of the cooks tell another cook «It’s been down all afternoon.» When I walked up, I was told I had to go to the ATM around the corner, because «our credit card machine just broke down a few minutes ago.»
The ATM next door was also broken down, so without credit/​debit payment, I only had $ 15.00 for a $ 22.00 burrito order (two burritos).
At least the store accepted my $ 15.00 for the order saying «It’s better than tossing the burritos, but dude, it’s not our fault the machine went down.»
Perhaps not, but it *is* your fault for not sharing this info with me when I phoned in my order, and for not having had it fixed after «all day.»
The new location at Broadview is a «real» restaurant. it’s clean, and just as friendly. Somehow, it lacks the kitsch of the Greenwood.
I eat here at least every two weeks, FWIW.

As far as burritos go, I’m more or less a traditionalist. I realise that noodles like rice is a carb, but no, I do not want them in my burrito, thanks!
Anyway, I was in the area and wanted some cheap eats, so Chino Locos came up. This original take-​out location is literally a hole in the wall. There are a coupla stools + a counter, but I think they’re intended more for people who are waiting for their orders. Let’s just say that it wouldn’t be that nice of a dine-​in experience.
Since I thought my bf would be sharing with me, I got a Biggie Bean — $ 6.99+taxes, veg, non-​spicy :(. Usually I’d get a med-​hot spicy, meat or at least fish/​shrimp option. Result: Good flavours, but bland. How could this be possible? Barely any guac.
Tip: If you don’t hafta, steer clear from this veg option. l’d try this joint again, but wouldn’t drive out of the way!

I’m in serious Chinos-​withdrawl. For almost a year, I worked right by here. I’d have chinos at least once a week.
My weakness was the Pollo Loco Chow Mein Bento box AKA a tortilla-​less chicken burrito with chow mein noodles in lieu of rice in a box! OM NOM NOM!
So so so gooood! Actually everything on their menu is top-​notch as well as their ever-​changing weekly specials. Also the guys working here are the nicest! They remembered my name and when you leave a tip they acknowledge and thank you! Which is super polite! Lastly, these boys work hard a delivering high quality food at a moderate pace!
The shop itself is tiny, so this place is especially great for take out. I would always call 15 minutes before my lunch in case they have a lot of orders (which is usually the case) and my food would be freshly waiting for me when I popped in for my pick up!
Seriously, though. So good! TRUST ME!
**they do have a couple of parking spots for pick up… pick up your food and go to Ashbridges Park to enjoy!**

Este lugar está seriamente loca-​lah! ¿Alguna vez has querido Chexican-​ma? Es un lugar pequeño con la realidad no hay donde sentarse, así que prepárate para tener que ir. Es como si caminamos en el sótano de su hijo adolescente de.
Burritos con el chow-​mein. En esencia esa es la base. Me encantó la carne de cerdo cocido lento, pero no era el mayor fan de la burito pescado. Yo prefiero Burrito Boy Burrito de pescado un poco más.
Con todo, este lugar era una locura!
