Currito Burritos Without Borders

I’ve had burritos from both airport locations and I keep coming back. It is now my airport go-​to for lunch or dinner. I think they are consistently delicious and fresh. If I’m flying at lunch or dinner time, I hope for one of the Currito terminals.

This Chipotle wanna be is located in the Philadelphia airport, in terminal A. I’m not a big breakfast fan and this was one of the only places that I could find that was serving lunch items at 9am.
I ordered the build your own burrito. Huge! I couldn’t even finish it all. It’s definitely big enough to split among two people, especially if you opt to get most of the items that they offer. Choose your meat. I opted for grilled chicken, which was cold. You can choose between brown and white rice, and your choice of black beans or pinto beans. Other items included corn salsa, cheese, lettuce, and pico. The guacamole was ok, but a bit shabby for the $ 2 upcharge. The salsa that my daughter got in her bowl was gross and ruined the meal. So I’d recommend getting the salsa on the side. I requested buffalo sauce on my burrito and it gave it just the right kick and flavor.
There was a bit of a language barrier from the cashier and the lady making the burrito. Another frustrating thing was that they didn’t have plastic knives. That might’ve been an airport thing, who knows?

Kind of a weak Chipotle clone, but they get points for offering buffalo sauce and they grill your burrito together when you’re finished, so that’s a plus.
Airport eatings are slim pickins, but you could do worse than Currito. It’s pretty expensive at around $ 9/​burrito, but considering your other options in the airport, it’s not bad.
I did have gas throughout my flight, though, so take that into consideration if you’re traveling next to someone you love.

I ordered a «build your own» breakfast burrito and it was the worst burrito I’ve eaten in my life… but this was my fault, and it was 9 hours since my last meal, so I ate it all.
This is a decent food stop at the airport. My major guilty pleasure is a McDonald’s breakfast burrito. I rarely eat them, but they’re delicious. So here I am at Currito’s which serves breakfast burritos. I could not resist.
I loaded this thing up with eggs, chorizo, cheese, black beans, caramelized onions, corn salsa, tomato salsa, and some hot sauce. Yuck. Yuck. Yuckity. Yuck.
The caramelized onions were soooo incredibly sweet I think I got an instant cavity. The chorizo was super greasy, but also had a sweetness to it. The whole burrito was pink from the chorizo slime, and the inside was like a rolled up sugar log with egg and bean bits. Sounds appetizing right?
Oh and I got a side of potatoes. These were just sad dry chunks. Skip em’.
I like that they grill the burrito a little after so you get a little crispy shell. If you stick to a standard burrito, I think you’ll end up with a decent edible airport meal. Just don’t do what I did.

While the food is tasty, the staff is extremely rude and confrontational. I saw them get in an argument with the woman in front of me (the cashier argued over and over again that the woman had ordered one thing, not the other) and then they gave me attitude when I requested brown rice over white. They also gave the guy behind me a hard time. Management needs to get engaged in this front end — it’s really not an appropriate way to run a business.

Real food, healthy options, quick service in a busy terminal, helpful staff. Tasted good, too.

Enjoyed my short encounter with this great fast food burrito shop. They have nice selection of flavors for your burrito beyond the usual guacamole, sour cream, and choice of sauce, which was refreshing!
The staff was nice, but also very fast. And yet, they also made sure to create the burrito in a neat process — ingredients were evenly spread out and the burrito was well wrapped and grilled. This should be the norm everywhere but sadly it is not, so that was pleasing.
All in all, great burrito. I chose the Tikka with grilled chicken.
Will be back!

My breakfast burrito was good and so was the mango limeade smoothie, but… they know they’re supposed to take the egg shells OUT when they scramble eggs, right?! Halfway through I had to stop eating because I couldn’t stomach any more little pieces of eggshell. For curiosity’s sake, I looked through the burrito and found a HUGE (almost 1″ by 1″) piece too. I’ll attach pictures for evidence.
Service seemed grumpy, but hey, who isn’t at 6AM?

Too salty (chorizos).
«Fresh» eggs.
Nothing extraordinary.

I was looking for indian taste and found this chicken tikka bowl. It tastes amazing. Has chickpeas, rice, tikka masala sauce, mint sauce and cucumber.
I thought it would be spicy but it isn’t. Even though the spicy level is medium. It tastes awesome.

3.5 stars Food choices in Terminal A are bad. The pub has fried everything, the Italian place looked unappetizing with dry chicken and cold looking pizza. Based on that Currito had to rate pretty high.
My first choice of pulled pork bowl wasn’t available. I ordered chicken tikka style. That’s channa chick peas cucumber and a yogurt sauce. But something was really spicy… –ve point for that. +ve point for giving me some pulled pork as a combo, but not enough for a full portion. It would’ve been nice be given a choice of brown rice because they have it as available.
Overall fairly pleased with this twist on Chipotle. And better than the other junk food on offer.

Highly recommend the teriyaki pulled pork burrito. The pork was tender, and still flavorful an hour later when I ate it on the plane. I can’t comment on any of the other food, but I’d return next time I’m in the A terminal.

It took me 30 minutes to find something without meat and cheese (and exhausting amounts of bread) at the PHL airport, but this was very good. They even had an allergen chart explaining which of their foods were gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan. Plus the people working there were really nice. I will come here every layover.

In terms of airport food, this is a 4-​star (everything is relative, right?). I stopped here for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff and freshness of the food. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese burrito from the pre-​determined menu choices, but they have build-​your-​own burrito and bowl options too, much like Chipotle. They made the food quickly as I watched, delivered it to me with a smile, and I got that and a bottle of water for less than $ 8 (especially surprising at the airport)!
Burrito was tasty — tortilla fresh and soft, bacon, eggs and cheese tasted fresh, and they were generous with the salsa. I chose hot for my salsa level since we’re up north here and I’ve grown accustomed to the Texas definitions of hot, medium and mild. It was the right choice — more like a Texas regular to medium, but quite tasty nonetheless.

Not great, not terrible. The other location in D is awful. Mixed reviews for this one. The staff is good and attentive and the management is good. Your food depends on the mood of the staff that day. Sometimes it’s great, sometimes sub par. Prices are ok. Nice sized burrito or bowl for 7 bucks.

There are two Currito Burritos in the Philly airport. This is the one in Terminal A. I decided to give it a shot the other day and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the chorizo, egg, and cheese burrito. I was expecting that the chorizo would be chunks of sausage, but it was actually a shredded, saucy mixture similar to taco meat. It has a heavy taste of mole or cumin or something that stuck with me all day and kept reminding me of the breakfast I ate (if you know what I’m sayin’). They have a heavy hand with all their ingredients here, so be careful. This is particularly true if you opt to add a salsa to your burrito so make sure you remind the staff to only add a little bit — or better yet get yo sauce on the side. With that being said, it was a pleasant experience — friendly staff (especially for the airport), quick service, good taste, and good value. I will give Currito another shot the next time I am in the airport.
