The food was fresh, and the staff were friendly. However, I found the burrito bowl a bit pricey.

Been stopping into this location 2-3 times a month since March (it's now September) looking to purchase the fish tacos.. and I get the same answer from the staff there... sorry we don't have fish tacos bc our oven is broken. I'm a bit frustrated.. whats taking it so long to fix or replace the oven? 6 months too long..

September 2, 2024

Place used to be great Now I go in and spend 50 dollars for tacos that are completely soaked in bean juice and so much sauce I cant taste anything else. They aren't draining the toppings and I only got one sauce and asked for only a little bit Couldn't even pick them up without everything falling apart, both soft and hard shell completely soaked, with the entire bottom of the container filled with liquid.

Good food, price is bit high but portion size is good. Only complaint is they do run out of some things bit early so recommend going early in the day, don't go close to closing.

First time getting Quesada. Was a little overwhelming as I was there with the family and had no idea what I wanted or what to expect, but thats to be expected the first time anywhere I believe. But the food was good and the staff was friendly. We will definitely be trying it again.

January 23, 2024

$19 for a regular size ground beef burrito with extra beef. the regular portion of protein was only about 2 tablespoons of meat. not going to be coming back any time soon with such terrible value

Over priced Non friendly staff.. Every-time they don t want to give you toasted veggies even though they are charging for that. Beans were not cooked.. If I can give 0 zero star I would give that

Most disappointing burrito I have had since I started visiting this place for the past 5 years. Server didnt seem like he had any skill wrapping up a burrito. Had to use a fork ,knife and spoon to eat a burrito. Should have just gotten a bowl if I need a cutlery. Had one staff working out front while the rest of the staff were lost inside.

This location is nice. I miss the Steak option, and they ran out of rhe spicy chicken on the night I attended but was able to find an alternative. The price remains decent for the city. The atmosphere in this location is lacking, front door is broken and the general feeling of the eat in area feels run down and out of date. Its right on rhe edge of that to creepy to order food state, more so if youve never been to this location. Parking: Its a shared parking lot with other business in a small strip mall. Most days you have no issues finding a parking spot. Wheelchair accessibility: Its a ground level business with correct sidewalk ramps and door ledges.

December 23, 2023

Not worth the money paid $32 for 2 small burritos that were garbage . If you want a decent good burrito go to burritos Mexican out on topsail road.

The doors into the building do not have push buttons making it inaccessible. The burrito bowl was served cold with no offer to heat and they dont have a microwave. Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible. Counter too high to view options.

December 23, 2022

This place never has enough staff to stay open. When it got enough staff they couldnt even keep the place stocked with hard shell tacos. It seems like they are closed a lot. Food is amazing, and i use to go there a lot but not worth it anymore.

Ordered a burrito bowl for my coworker and a burrito for me, only two items that came to 70$. No extra add-ons. The food arrived cold, and arrived an hour late with no updates on the food delivery. Giving a 2 star rating, the food is good but definitely not worth the price.

$14 + tax for a large burrito. The sign says a large is 12 (a regular is 10). This was about a 7 burrito. I wish I had taken a photo. It was good, but definitely not as advertised. At least one bathroom was down to 1 piece of paper towel. The checklist does not show any indication that they checks were being completed. Today is the 25th, for reference.

★★
December 23, 2022

Tried it out for the first time. The price is oppressive. Flabbergasted by the cost of 2 bowls. Was literally at Jeremy Charles new restaurant last night and paid less for a plate of food that was foraged and cooked to perfection by a 5-star chef.

★★★★★

Took my kids out for supper after shopping, with 4 kids it can be a handful, 1 child was being especially troublesome but the 2 male workers didnt mind at all and they are greatly appreciated. Vegetarian options: Tofu recommended as a default. Parking: Large shared parking lot Kid-friendliness: Patience of a saint.

Girlfriend ordered a burrito bowl that was less than satisfying and quite expensive, it was NOT visually appealing. Customer service wasnt the best, as we only ordered one because when I went to order mine they let me know after I asked that the had no steak. A simple sign would have sufficed as I was there for about 15 minutes trying to decide what I wanted for my first time there. So I decided not to order anything. Dont think we will be returning, Burritos Mexican Grill is a much better choice with a far friendlier staff.

Very very good food. Fresh and willing to deal with the young ones. Explaining things and showing them his to make the food. Staff is great. Store needs to get cleaned a little more around the tables. But they are busy making food right now so dont have time. Had a cod burrito was very large and great taste. Will be back next time Im up in Newfoundland

★★
December 23, 2019

Hours of operation should be altered as when visiting the store past 9pm they have very little options left. Last few visits they have had very little to no beans of any kind, coleslaw, salsa, and even rice. If the intention is to have the store open until 10pm then it might be a good idea to have some options left after 9pm.

I like tacos but cilantro is never available. When I ask why Im told because it costs too much. Today I bought tacos and was asked if I want hot sauce. I asked if I could get it on the side, was told ok, and then was charged an extra $1.48 for extra sauce. When asked why, was told food costs are too high.

Tried Quesada today for the 1st time. Small, basic menu but CLEAN AND FRESH. Not quite in the same league as Chipotle but definitely a welcome addition to the boring, redundant fast food chains we have in St. Johns. Hopefully word of mouth spreads and more locations open up. When Chipotle comes to town its game over, but until then this is my new favorite take-out!
