Gainesville has a whole lot of Tex Mex chains, such as Moe's, Chipotle, Tijuana Flats, and Chuy's, but Burrito Brothers is a local favorite because of their cheap and delicious tacos and burritos. If you're in the area and want Tex Mex, then do yourself a favor and stop here instead of one of the national chains. I typically prefer... More

Burrito Bros Taco Co. is a University of Florida and Gainesville stand-by. While it may not be the absolute best Mexican restaurant in town (see La Tienda on 13th Street, or La Fiesta on 39th) it is an experience and "one of those things" you do when in school here. Personally, I crave a BBTC burrito every once in a... More

We ordered a bean burrito, a beef taco and guacamole with chips. Everything was good but nothing special. Parking is a major hassle. The outside patio seating is cozy but again nothing special. Honestly, I do not get the hype about this place. Our bill for the 3 items above was $12.

College hang out all the way. We had the chicken burrito and taco's. The food was just OK but the salsa was spicy. The staff was friendly and the service was good.

Tucked away behind a building on University across from campus, Burrito Bros has been a UF institution for years. Decent but not outstanding burritos and tacos will definitely fill you up. Guacamole is excellent and the salsa nicely spicy. What makes Burrito Brothers is meeting up with friends to catch up at a patio table. Arrive early as the line... More

We just went to Burrito Bros. for the first time this weekend and the food was just as good as I had been told. I could eat that every week if I didn't have to pay or watch calories!! Ja, ja. The food was absolutely delicious for such a small "joint" . The only problem they have is lack of... More

LOVE eating here! I have a friend who is at UF, and whenever I visit her, I make sure that a trip to Burrito Brothers is on the calendar. The food is exceptional, and made to order. One fair warning -- you better bring your appetite (and then some) when you eat here, because the portions are enormous.

We used to eat at the Burrito Brothers 30 years ago when we were in college. The location has changed, but the food is still great. Everything is fresh and made to order. We like to stop here whenever we are near Gainesville.

Fantastic, fresh, food. Visited in October 2012 and tried to go again in Jan 2013, but they are having inspector issues with the building they are renting so it was closed. They plan to re-open soon.

whats fun about this place is that it is outside. it is not fancy but let me tell you the food is fantastic. it is not expensive at all, you can order your meal how you like it. The burritos come in different sizes, primo or regular. the guacamole is freshly made, the soups too and the salsa is delicious.... More
