Bronco Burrito

i simply cannot get enough of this place. i eat at least 2 times a week. inexpensive and the food dances in your mouth. im addicted to it and they make it my way. outstanding! top notch for sure.

Since moving to Barrington, I missed my old «within’ a 5-​minute drive» Mexican joint where I can get my guacamole and chips fix. We’ve had Paul’s Burrito Express and Bronco Burrito within my 5-​minute radius. I tried both (I think they have the same owner because their menus are similar) and I chose to review the better of the two. Bronco Burrito is bigger, brighter and has better parking and it’s closer to me (plus, I do not have to go through Hough Street). Good portions, inexpensive and food is made to order. They always ask me «soft» or «crispy» for my kind of taco. Tripa! Only thing is we cannot come here if I want a margarita with my food.

Food quality is definitely just as good as Paul’s Burrito, but they do have some different flavors and recipes. Try both! Service here is very good. Now that the word is out, they do seem a bit short handed with all the business they are getting. Still, I think the longest I’ve waited is about 10 minutes. Always very friendly as well. They have weekly specials and all the menu is very reasonable. Full meal with drinks is usually around $ 8. They have some good vegetarian fare.

My coworker and I were trying to place an order over the phone tonight and I was rudely responded, with an attitude, when we attempted to ask a question. I called back to speak with a manager about her, Jenny, and was told that «he was off the hook.» I am very disappointed at the type of service they are providing, whether it is busy or not. I will be calling back to speak to the manager since he wasn’t in at the time nor did she know when he would be coming back the following day. My coworkers and I ordered regularly but now I’m questionable about going back or referring anyone.

Awesome tacos! Fast and friendly service! I recommend the fish tacos and the pico de gallo is fantastic.

Look, the same family owns Paul’s Burrito Express in town — just go there instead. Hell, their menus are virtually the same, even down to the fonts. My fish tacos and taco salad were waaaay off the mark compared to Paul’s. First time here, and last time here.

I’ve eaten here a few times over the last couple months and it’s been great, but tonight may be the reason I’ll go back to back to Paul’s. Completely messed up our order, which of course you never notice until you get home. The pork tamale was inedible… very surprised. Very disappointed.

Hours are nice, they close most nights at 10pm so I went with a buddy for some greasy food before going out. In short (I got a cheese quesadilla)
Made well
Inexpensive
But not that greasy, great either way
But the best part was the horchata… I don’t know if it’s made in house but it was amazing alone (even better with rum) also inexpensive.

Great little joint tucked away on Route 14 in Barrington. They had just run out of take out menus. Wish they had them. My son order 2 steak burritos. They were good. Lots of refried beans tho. The price was pretty good $ ¹²⁄₂ burritos. I think this is a great teen hangout and more of a take out place. Nonetheless, we’ll be back.
Ps it would be nice if they post their menu on line (like the other restaurants in the area)

my kids request Taco Tuesday and we must go to Bronco Burrito! the food is always good, and very reasonably priced. Most importantly, the staff is great. Obviously family owned and they make you feel like part of the family too. Try the Caribbean Taco and Oriental Taco–

Bronco burrito just threw a wrench into the Barrington lunch game. My co-​workers and I usually have a go-​to spot for every type of cuisine for our lunch break, whether it’s burgers, pizza, Asian, breakfast, etc. For cheap tacos, old reliable has been Paul’s burrito express for the past few years. We always thought what could be better than Pauls? The tacos were good and cheap, and it was within minutes of the office. Well, the answer is an equally good taco joint even closer to the office: Bronco burrito.
We tried going to Paul’s on Cinco de Mayo and we were shocked to hear that they were so busy there was a 30 minute wait to get your food. Ain’t nobody got time for that. Refusing to give up on our taco crave, we took a gamble and gave Bronco burrito a shot since we were always curious how good it was. It recently took over the old Kooker’s location and we were pretty skeptical it could top Paul’s.
First off, I gotta say the parking lot was bigger and the inside was much nicer than Paul’s. But the true test had to be the food. Just looking at the menu, everything looked really similar price-​wise. Tacos were slightly more expensive, around the $ 2.50 mark, and burritos were hovering around the $ 5 – 6 range. I got the some of the same stuff I usually get at Paul’s and it was pretty damn close in terms of quality. I’m convinced that Bronco either buys from the same distributor or they are somehow secretly affiliated with Paul’s. The similarities are just so close. The chicken was just as moist and flavorful, the beef was almost as good, maybe just a tad less spiced. The tortillas had a similar freshness to it, and I swear even the salsa and their containers were identical. I was pleasantly surprised with the food here. Service was a little slow, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that it was just the extra Cinco de Mayo traffic.
Overall, a solid new addition to the Barrington lunch scene. I hate to say it, since I’m a loyal Paul’s fan, but Bronco just might steal some of my business if I don’t feel like dealing with the backed up traffic on Hough St.

So I went here not too long ago to grab some food for the office and I. Like clockwork I tried the lengua (tongue) burrito, horchata (rice milk) and I also got some tacos for a coworker. The meat in the burrito was not fresh at all and the horchata had a sour taste to it. I’m assuming most people in Barrington don’t eat lengua let alone know what the hell it is, so I imagined that the meat was probably old and they didn’t want to waste it. Understandable, but unfortunately when you’re dealing with food, ESPECIALLY meat products, you need to keep it fresh all the time. No questions asked. I’m assuming the same scenario stood for the horchata as well. It sucks to have to leave such an awful review especially for a new business but hopefully this will make it to management and they will make the right choices in the future as far as food quality /​food management is concerned. The staff was very friendly and the décor was comfortable. I look to give em another chance in the future and hopefully my next experience changes my tune.

Great steak tacos! Been here twice this week. Hope these guys make it — Barrington is a tough town for restaurants to survive.

This place is phenomenal! Had a king size pork Burito and it was great!!! The portions are hug and filling!!! be back here soon Yummyyyyyy!

I have been here twice its ok

This is my 1^st review, and an open letter to the new restaurant owner:
First, no one really wants to wait and watch you train someone on the register while we order.
Get in the restaurant a few hours early and practice, don’t practice with the customers.
And, be sure the person your training knows how to make change!
This was a Sunday @ 11:30 for reference, no one there except one other couple.
Food took over 10 minutes, don’t mind waiting for good food, which this wasn’t!
My wife ordered 2 quesadilla’s, and a side of refried beans, and my order was a steak burrito.
Here is some good advice to you when you have a new business, and you want to be successful:
Don’t be cheap with the ingredients, if we like your food, we will come back and spend more money with you! The quesadilla’s barely had any cheese, less than any typical Mexican restaurant. The refried beans were absolutely awful! First they were luke warm (hot is better). Second they still had the skin on them formed as they were refrigerated overnight (stir them). Third, they had zero taste, bland as could be to the point of why bother eating them (seasoning). The burrito was just okay, steak had nice favor to it, but where was the cheese, I looked I didn’t see any?
Overall this was very disappointing, and I will not go back, there are better choices in the area.

Ordered the joker (beef). The joke was on me. $ 10.00 and was barely heavier than the king for $ 5.55. Worst part is it was lacking any flavor at all. Was doughy and bland. Best bet is to get 2 king size.

I went with the non-​fish taco dinner with steak, chicken and pork (they do also have fish tacos). All were tasty, it’s clear that the chicken and steak are grilled here and fresh. The pork is also tasty, it’s sliced pieces like the steak rather than shredded/​carnitas, and it’s fairly spicy (but not too hot even for a non-​hothead like me). It also appears to be grilled here. The tacos are on soft corn tortillas. Rice and beans are pretty standard. The restaurant is clean and well lit with mostly booths and a few tables; you order at the counter and someone brings it out to you. Total for the dinner plus a small horchata was just over $ 9. I’m hoping these folks do ok, I certainly expect to be back — possibly even to try their (small) breakfast menu.
I don’t believe they have public wifi of their own, but I picked up both Comcast/​Xfinity and attwifi (from the McDonalds’ across the street).
