Merivale Mall, 1642 Merivale Rd, Nepean, ON K2G 4A1, Canada
Canadian quick-serve chain serving fresh Mexican-inspired menu including burritos, bowls, tacos & quesadillas.
I always get burritos from them off UberEat and it’s my first time visiting in person. Clean location and well maintained food area. I trust their cleanness 😊 food comes fresh and hot and tastes great. I got the game day bonus of 2 burritos + nacho, and a bowl of waffle fries for $40 😗
I visited this location of Fat Bastard Burrito, and it was awesome! The burrito was huge, incredibly filling, and packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The portions were generous, and the taste was spot on. Definitely a must-try if you're craving a hearty, satisfying burrito that leaves you completely satisfied!
Easily my new favourite burrito joint in Ottawa! So I love a good burrito and all the chains started to feel the same. This place takes the cake by far! My burrito had so much flavour and it was fairly priced too. Good service and good waffle fries!
I don't eat a lot of takeout Mexican food because it's usually not great, but this was impressive. The flavours are so delicious, and unlike most places, they're NOT afraid of loading everything up with ingredients! My family and I tried/shared loaded waffle fries (with pulled pork), empanadas, big (tequila lime roasted chicken and chipotle roasted chicken) burritos, cheesecake burrito with amazing caramel sauce, and deep fried mars bars. Every single thing was worth buying again.
Ordered two buy 1 get 1 beef tacos off of UberEats. I'm glad we got 4 orders of 3 tacos since they weren't very filling and were small servings on medium tortillas. The empanada was super good, I definitely recommend trying them.
Doordash delivery was great. The food was hot and it was correct. The delivery bag they used was amazing. They had a great secure strip across the top that had to be torn for access. The food was hot and good . It was not Chipotle..lol. But it was good. The cheesecake burrito was damn good. I wanted another but I am watching my sugar intake while on the road
Always love to go there for dinner a few times a month! The best burrito place in Ottawa so far! Their cheesecake burrito is to die for!!!! And their chicken and meat are always fresh!!!! The portions sizes are so good!!! The food tastes super fresh and like a home made meal quality! Employees are always in a good spirit and are very fast and efficient and super nice and friendly!!! All 3 employees working today were super nice and our orders were prepared so fast, even tho it seemed to have been a rush hour! Always love going to this place! Never disappoints!
Finally ordered from here for the first time not too long ago, and boy can I say how fully loaded their bowls are?! My favorite thing to get from burrito places are burrito bowls. I got the one with the battered fried fish and lemme tell ya, it was so so delicious. Fresh ingredients, and the flavours went so well together.
Amazing food and great customer service
Great service overall!
Top tier
came in for a lunch, food was fantastic great value for price. workers were very friendly! great service will be coming back soon
Amazing service and very sanitary place
Outstanding food provided with good hygiene and love the customer service.Always consistent.
This place was the best food I ve eaten In my life
burrito good packaging ass- the bowl top DOES NOT fit. bad for driving and holding. makes everything go everywhere in the bag.
So Ive been to two different locations now. I will never return to the other location again. This location is very friendly and helpful. They understand food allergies. The quality of food was originally great, dropped for a bit but is great again. Dietary restrictions: Very helpful
great service, great food
Very cheap with their portions and taste average at best
Love the burritos!
Best burritos in Ottawa, portions are right, food quality, and workers have a great customer service! Good if you a gym membership you ll get extra protein! Definetly a go to spot for burritos!
Great service, wide variety of options to eat, great for high school students
Great service
Great place!!!
At the time of this review theres that new guy who wears glasses didnt put enough toppings in my burrito. I always liked this place but today is the only day I got disappointed from him
Amazing food !!
Great customer service and very friendly staff
Love it
A consistent experience each time I go. It can get a bit crowded when its busy but Ive never had an issue sitting down to eat. Most people seem to grab and go. Very tasty and reasonable prices! I always leave full.
BEST PLACE EVER
Amazing!!
SO GOOD I LOVE THIS PLACE
Amazingnn
The quesadillas are amazing.
Good service, decent pricing, good food
I got a quesadilla and found it to be very tasty. It was however quite thin and I feel like they could have put a decent more amount of chicken on it. Nonetheless was tasty!
Been here a couple times in the last few weeks, Burritos have been tasty and loaded nachos are delicious! Evening staff are very nice too
So good
Excellent food and Service
Dan is doing good job !!
Great place, always get a burrito after I hit the gym.
Best tacos in the area!
Best burritos by far. Best staff, super friendly and helpful. Shri is always super polite and the reason I chose this location. Thanks
Friendly. I liked the burrito. Perfect a.ount of moisture. Tasty ingredients.
Polite staff and fresh ingredients. But sometimes when you order the burrito bowl they hesitate to fill it up! Thats why the 4 stars
Worst burrito in the city I was severely disappointed barely any meat and would get anywhere else instead
The Owner and staff are amazing and for someone who isn t huge for this type of food I loved it, I had the waffle fries with toppings and for the price and quality I will definitely go back
Always a good experience here highly recommend!
customer service was exceptional, they were very accommodating and sweet.
Best fat bastard location. Nice and friendly staff.
Delivery over 1 hour late, all meals arrived cold, missing one full meal. We ordered as a group from work to have on our break today. Uber credited 5$ but the store itself had zero remorse only to say sorry it was a mistake by them. End of story. Too bad store cares less re: how this experience was and that individuals had no meal. Shame on store for such terrible response.
I tried burrito at both the location really amazing..
Amazing customer service
My go to place!!! Staff is super friendly!!!
Good job
Friendly staff, fast service and delicious food
Best burritos in ottawa! Planet fitness thanks them 10/10
This place serves excellent burritos, and does so in a prompt and efficient manner.
Friendly staff and efficient service. Great tasting burrito with all the toppings including guacamole. Pulled beef so tasty.
Really good food, always fresh and amazing portions. My go to burrito place.

Great & clean location, fast service, interesting name..? Parking: Easily found a parking spot as it s right next to mall. Food : 5/5 |
Amazing staff, excellent service, veggies looked fresh, store was clean. Would recommend
I had good experience with food and amazing service from staff, they are polite and patient with costumers and listen to everything for the orders.
Very nice experience. Darshan is very friendly and explained different varieties in meals. Warm, crispy, and tasty quesadillas. Coleslaw was very fresh and the sauces that they recommended, fit perfectly well with the dishes. Thank you for the great experience :)
Awesome customer service
Impressive customer service and delicious food
Great service provided by the staff
Loved the food and server
Food and service both are good
Very friendly staff! Excellent service! Ive been here a few different times. My favorite food items are the chicken bowl//chicken burrito// fries.
Nice service
Meow Kid-friendliness: They were really nice to my son with OCD. Yippee. Food : 5/5 |
Probably the best burrito place in this area. Tasty burritos and very pleasant service.
Baba burrito
Delicious food! Well made and fast!
Very substantial meals, the empanadas currently offered smell great and make nice snacks. Vegetarian options: Pretty sure you can get burrites without meats
Great food. Good customer service thank you. Vegetarian options: Vegetation options available. Food : 5/5 |
Great spot with great Mexican classics. The food is great, decent potion sizes, great flavors, just watch out... the jalapeños were more spicey than most places! Great atmosphere, top reviews from some of the most iconic celebrities hanging on the wall. And the service was quick and friendly. Definitely the better place to get Mexican food!
Indian girl and guy was working this afternoon, they made my order so quick and amazing. Love their customer service too. Thanks!!
What a pathetic service I got from this store. Last night I ordered food and it was as cold as ice. Just want to ask you a question, do you guys store the food in the freezer after making it ready or you dont care about it once its ready. I used microwave to make it hot, is this a way you guys work. I would definitely escalate this issue to the higher management. Thanks for giving such a horrible service.
This is my favourite place to eat. These burritos are to die for. Thanks for good service and amazing burritos
Went for the Wednesday special with $7 small burrito. I found the size reasonable, I was full after one. I never take guacamole at other joints but I obliged since theres no extra for guacamole!
I have tried a veggie burrito and that was an awesome dish. They offer a variety of quantities like small, medium and huge.. If you are a vegetarian, then try the veggie burrito of huge size.. Its an extremely delicious dish.. Good place for non-veg and veg lovers..
Best burritos in Ottawa (at least from a chain). Wouldnt go anywhere else.
Awesome menu, food was great and the workers were nice
Where do I even begin? First, theyre amazing. The foods great. So many options to choose from, and all made well. But thats not what gives them 5 stars from me. No. When I ordered from them, I left a note mentioning one of my friends is highly reactive to pepper (it leaves him sick for days). I asked them to call me if his order had pepper. They called. They werent sure, since it was house brand for the seasoning on the meat and rice, and all it said was spices. Rather than take the risk, they called, we discussed alternatives, and everything was fine. Ive had some places who just get annoyed and tell you to order somewhere else, or who simply ignore the fact you might be allergic to something. Not this place. They took the time to call, they understood that this was important, and they came up with a solution. So yes, 5 stars. Hell, Id give them a sixth if I could.
I ve been here twice in the last week. The staff is friendly and polite and it s nice to see them layering the bowls with care. Portions are generous and toppings are fresh, (both times I ve ordered were late at night.) It s worth the trip, will be back!
Ordered a steak burrito plate for $12.49. Made it an extra size box with an additional $4.36. Total cost for the steak burrito in a box is 16.85. After tax and other charges paid around $22 and got this small wrap. Extremely disappointed.
I order from here a ton, by far the best burrito place in Ottawa. Especially if you cant stand the taste of cilantro.. They only add it if its requested! (Most burrito places in Ottawa mix it in with the rice or salsa.) Also adding guac and cheese to your burrito has no extra charge like some places do... Highly recommend!
Best Burrito place in town (at least in Nepean). I usually get the Huge Jerk Chicken Burrito and it never disappoints. Portion sizes are great, prices are fair, and staff is always friendly. I would recommend ordering ahead of time on their website so your food is ready when you pick it up.
I go here almost every other day for chicken tacos, these guys are on top of the game! After going twice they started to recognize me and my order. Super friendly and great food. Must try.
The best burrito place in town! The staff is always friendly and Fast Bastard has the most generous portion compared to places like Mucho Burrito and barBurrito. It is also open till late night which is a plus. This location is the best Fat Bastard in town. Give it a try!
Like all their branches, this one too is amazing!
I love the food here mashallah
The food is great, but drove across town to take advantage of their late hours and the door was open, but the girl said they were closed. I said online hours and the hours listed on the door say they are open and the door is open, but you are saying the are closed. I left and went home hungry.
Many options, Must try!
Quick order and pick up.
It was my first time here today and thanks go the kind staff, figuring out how to order burritos was a breeze! I also really thought the loaded nachos were AMAZING
Food is good but my take out order for 2 burritos and loaded fries turned out to be not so loaded when we opened them at home. Not driving 20 mins there and back to return it, orders should be checked by staff before they re given out
Fine, definitely not great. Surprising that no grilled Meats are available. Ordered the jerk burrito & rather than cook or toss the chicken in jerk sauce it was simply squirted on. While all the veggies & ingredients look fresh they are all cut to thin & similar sizes so the finished burrito product has no texture its just all kindof mushy & the same mealy mouth feeling.
It was the first time I have tried burrito. It was delicious. Ingredients are fresh; people here very friendly; waiting time very short. Thanks a lot
Noodles in your burrito? Heck yeah!!!! My favourite burrito is the fish with coleslaw and noodles. Mmmm don t bash it til you ve tried it. Only complaint is communication issues most of the time. Especially when asking for extra meat ( on my husbands) or not to add any sauces from beside the grill. Really wasn t happy with BBQ sauce in my burrito that one time. Have to stress it now and watch them. Great product though I think. Never made me sick!!
Tried this place for the first time. Unfortunately we will not return. Save yourself a trip and head to mucho burrito. Meat was cold and dry. The bbq sauce was just awful.
Delicious and team is amazing! Would throw on the tv or have some music in there but that s just me.
Cleanliness goes a long way with fast food especially in open kitchen. Frequent hand washing is practiced regularly every time I visit. Keep up the good work, muchachos Vegetarian options: Wide range of varieties
This was my first order I got waffle fries 2 burritos omg its massive. Honestly amazingly delicious. I will be back even my son who can eat allot was full with leftovers that never happens. Thank you are new fav place
This place is great. the burritos are massive everytime. Thank you guys so much!
Very close to my work and love coming here as the food is always fresh and service is quick. Definitely one of the better burritos in Ottawa
Amazing food, best burritos in barhaven for sure!!! Five stars!!!
Great burritos!
Great burritos - good toppings and veggie options!
Food is awesome! Staff is wonderful!
The store was already closed at 12 when I arrived there !!!
Friendly staff and delicious burritos. Love the free guac
The burritos taste very fresh and the best in Ottawa.
I m so disappointed. I ordered $75 worth of Quesadillas tonight and they were absolute garbage. A soggy, undercooked mess. As well, I asked for medium spicy and it arrived Nuclear. I lived in Asia for ten years so I like spicy food, but this was inedible. Very disappointed.
Delicious food and very nice service
Probably the driest oldest chicken Ive ever had in my life. I have no idea how long its been sitting out but its not fresh...
I also tried other locations too. Really mouthwatering food.
Great place for burrito. Bastards sauces are awesome
Portion was generous and amazing taste as always highly recommend it
I love these burritos! Big fish is the go to!
I love the burritos from this place, its fresh, delicious and very addictive. Highly recommend this place for burritos in Ottawa
We went there for dinner on a Friday. Its a great little place thats super cozy. The service was excellent, and the food was even better! Weve been looking for a good place for Mexican food, and were so happy to have found Fat Bastard Burrito.We ordered chips and guac, tacos and quesadillas and they were all fantastic. Customer service were amazing & Jerk chicken was flavorful.
Sooooo disappointed in this place . Ordered two sweet and spicy tofu burritos. Figured I d try this place because I love this order @ the greenbank location (gave them 5 stars). After paying close to 40$ (with tip), the burritos came significantly under weight (yes I have a scale) and worse yet they were DRY . No sour cream , no burrito sauce (I told them I like everything and i suppose they just didn t care to ask). « It was like eating a dry tofu salad in a wrap » My girl gave up after a few bites. I stubbornly added a bunch of hot sauce . I would strongly recommend not going here.
Good service and clean store
Excellent!
Shanu is awesome! Great service and always fresh. The go to burrito spot in nepean!
Great place for a quick bite (Takeout) with friendly and fast customer service.
Fast enough service for single orders but they only do one at a time good menu; good, large burritos
The staff were really nice, the food was amazing and I had a great overall experience.
Best place for a Burrito.
I always get a burrito from here, the service has been amazing, the people come to you right away to get my order. And the burrito is fully filled with all the toppings with great desserts after the meal. The place is always clean which is always an added bonus!
Amazing Burrito! Staff is super friendly and always ready to provide suggestions. Great place, I am definitely making this my go to burrito place.
Amazing store amazing food and amazing staff! couldn t ask for a better experience!!
Finally got takeout here and I was excited they had a great deal for delivery. It was two for one burrito bowls. It was the worst money ever spent. The bowls were very empty and maybe only had 10 bites in them. Had to give me boyfriend mine because he was so hungry. Disappointed
Best service
BAD SERVICE
So slow making the food bad service Long wait more than 25 minutes waiting Walk out no way coming back
Its pretty good, but I still prefer mucho, wouldnt turn it down though, worth the try!
Fat Bastard Special place to grab burrito for me. And Quesadilla Organic tofu burrito is what I like the most
The workers are very slow and The hygiene level is below zero they don t change their gloves
Amazing food, great burritos.
Poor service, nothing special about the food
The ingredients are good quality, but theres always a very stingy amount of meat in my burrito. They add the veggies to the burrito in front of you, then your order gets thrown to the back of the line of skipthedishes orders before having the meat filled. 3 times the same, y you do dis. No lie I would have 8x more chicken in a shawarma down the street
Burrito was really tasty!!
My experience with this restaurant was terrible. It was my first time and most definitely my last visit. I ordered fish tacos and it smells so bad that I couldnt even try it, when i asked the guy to give it a look he said thats how fish smells. Well i know fish dont usually have musty smell. Please dont serve your customers something that smells disgusting.
Burritos that dont fall apart as soon as you unwrap them! You can actually eat them in the car without making a mess, which Ive found is the case for several other brands. Allergy-friendly, they have gluten-free tortillas available (make sure to mention at the cash if you have any dietary restrictions like celiac).
Biggest burrito ever. Sweet and Spicy Tofu is so Delicious with one line of hot sauce.
One of the best burrito places Ive ever been to in Ottawa. Honestly really tasty and you can tell they care about presentation akin to the way youd get your tacos and such at a fancy restaurant. I had their nashville chicken bowl and it was one of the best meals ever. I later tried the franks red hot chicken and honestly it wasnt for me, youd have to really love franks for it. Overall it didnt budge my opinion about Fat Bastard Burrito and Ill definitely be ordering from here again.
Excellent service and food !
I always come to this restaurant for burrito bowl. No doubt good food and healthy as well. But i think, no more after this day. There was a skinny guy at front, either small or big, he is never generous on the quantity of food. I dont mind paying extra dollar, but when you are damn too hungry after a long shift, it looks cheap when someone do that. I told him to be generous but the way he responded wasnt kind. Really unsatisfactory service
Best burrito place period. End of discussion.
Food as always delicious. Staff are very courteous. Store Owner always smiley and making sure customers are getting served properly. Price is very competitive too. Must recommend if you have craving for Mexican food. One of the best in City of ottawa.
I have ordered burritos from this location several times now and I have not been disappointed. Their burritos are some of the best in town! I highly recommend giving them a try. I think you ll be more than satisfied.
When I got my order which was the Huge groundbeef burrito with the following: White tortilla Lettuce Extra Cheese Mild Salsa Sourcream Guacamole Rice Refried beans Mild hot sauce BUT when I actually got it and bit into it it was literally just rice, hot sauce, refried beans and meat, so much meat. And I found like three tiny little pieces of lettuce in it. I finished it of course cuz I dont like to waste food, but afterwards it felt like I ate a brick and my appetite was dead after eating an ungodly amount of meat and rice Genuinely such a disappointing first time (and quite possibly last time) having fat bastard burrito But hey, Atleast the chips with a side of guacamole was good
The food here is pretty good & filling. There are plenty of ingredients to choose from for your taco/burrito/quesadilla. Not a fan of their hot sauce though; the spice was good but it had another a weird flavour to it.
Our favourite fast food burrito place. Fresh ingredients with large portions.
I am addicted to Your burritos!!
tasty, but cold/soggy fish tacos. i d expect the tortilla grilled or warmed and fish crispy and not near fridge cold :(
Had a craving for a burrito bowl and Burrito Gringo was closed so I tried this place. Super disappointing in comparison. Choice of toppings was limited and not terribly fresh. The steak looked and tasted like pulled pork and was very salty. It was not a good meal. Its back to Burrito Gringo for me!
Thank-you so much! this just made my day. Well while you asked me the most difficult question I think chicken came first haha. Anyways loved the food! <3 above all loved the experience....
Excellent selection of toppings and their tortillas are my favourite in the city.
Butter chicken/Sweet chilli crispy chicken burrito has been my all time companion these days, you may not find me posting reviews on any place or food chain usually, as I barely do that; but I couldnt resist this time and the reason is my burrito streak. A burrito for dinner at almost every alternative day, and I blame Fat bastard for turning me addicted to their food, haha! But honestly, all the credits go to Dhruv and Neel which work at this place and have always prepared my burrito the exact way I expect them to! Both are pure gems. Cant ask no more, thats it..! Big fan, fat bastard, big fan!
Good portions, hate to tell you all haters that not every place is perfect, the best thing about this place is that they actually put forth the customers feedback and respond to it. The taste is fantastic, the portions are perfect, I would eat there everyday if I had power to do so. Definitely one of the best if not the best burrito place I visited....
Had a large steak burrito , it was really good. I couldve had more pepper sauce but I know for next time. P.S good service, and clean building
The food was good, but not excellent. The BBQ pork sauce was a bit overpowering. Less is better since the rest of the ingredients are on the bland side. The coleslaw had a crunch to it to add texture. The huge size was sufficient for two people, which was nice. I think I would rate Mucho Burrito first, Fat Bastard second and Gringo third. Would we go back, maybe.
My first burrito and all i can say is i am really missing it again. Probably the healthiest choice if you are hungry.
Great experience. Staff is friendly and they make the best burrito bowls.
I liked the burrito and ordered twice in a week... burritos and the loaded waffel fries tasted yummy..
Staff at the Merivale location are unbelievably friendly. Awesome service and great food!
its beyond stupid the way that I can order a burrito with multiple ingredients, and only get rice and meat? what? if I wanted to only be eating rice, Id cook rice myself. I wouldnt recommend this place if it was the last place you could eat on earth. extremely disappointed and will never order again.
My first four or five orders were great, the last few havent been. Tonight, the burrito was cold, it wasnt fresh. The fried mars bar was stale, reheated, and chewy. The quality doesnt reflect the price.
Service was amazing and fast. Food tasted amazing
