Ohio City Burrito

Quick service. Great food. Flavor is so much better than Chipotle. Highly recommend

This place used to be the best. For the last 8 months or so, every experience has been negative. The rice constantly under cooked, same for the beans. The meat isnt fresh and tastes reheated or old. Finally, the customer service is no longer friendly or accomadating. This is sadly one of the worst places to get a burrito these days. I really hope they return to what made them so great for so many years.

My order was made very sloppily I was upset, but then the owner reached out was very helpful, and even gave me credit, tho he never had to! I appreciate the help and I have adjusted my score accordingly

This place was very good! I ordered a burrito bowl which was extremely filling! I was able to get 3 meals out of it. They had many options to choose from to fill up the bowl which was nice. Much more than Chiptole! It tasted very fresh and good! It was also gluten free which was very nice! I would definitely stop by here again in the future!

This is my first time eating at OCB. I am a very picky eater. I ordered a rice bowl with cod fish and added several toppings. The service was excellent! Shout out to Marina for preparing my bowl! They serve a mango salsa made by Jael whom I had the pleasure of meeting today. FYI the mango salsa is only available on Fridays. The best salsa I’ve had thus far!!! To my surprise, the food was delicious and satisfying. I can honestly say this is the best Mexican spot that I have eaten at since I’ve been in Cleveland over the last six years. I’ll definitely be back for more.

ALWAYS Excellent food and very prompt delivery EVERYTIME I've ordered. I will definitely be back, time after time!

It was my first time eating here. The food tastes very fresh and it's good..

I've given them a few chances because the reviews are amazing and I truly don't see what all the rave reviews are about. To me, it's the definition of "just okay". Everything has just enough flavor so it tastes alright, but not enough to make it feel like it was worth spending the money. If you're nearby and hungry give it a shot, but if you want good burritos/bowls you're better off at Chipotle.

Visited OCB with co-workers recently. This time, I requested a chicken bowl with rice and veggies. It was built quickly and I bought a fountain drink for dine in. My bowl was tasty and the portion size was great. The chicken wasn't seasoned all that well, but it was good as were the veggies. The bowl was filling and I enjoyed it. Its very similar to Chipotle, but with less protein choices. There is outdoor seating available, but we dined indoors on this visit because it was chilly outside. We'll be back.

I love a good dive taco/burrito shop. This one is great. The beef is on the spicy side but even for a shrimp like Me I can tell you, it was still delicious. Do not miss the horchata. Creamy and luscious ... not thin. The shrimp tacos were good too. Guacamole was above average... not the most amazing but definitely worth it. They should serve more chips with that guacamole though. Recommend this stop.

So... I work across the street and decided to give this a try. The staff was very friendly. I got a burrito which is not my norm but I wanted to be able to eat it in the car... The flavors are good. I do feel like the fajitas could be a little more tender. My chicken wasn't as tender as I would have liked it either. I ended up taking the rest out the tortilla and eating it like a bowl. I will def try them again. Hopefully the proteins will be more tender. Good price point

I see you can leave a picture. I wish I would of snap a picture. I had a huge piece of fat in my protein on my taco salad. There is NO way someone didn't see it while shredding during prep. I would say it was 1/2 the size of a goof ball. Looking around it certainly was not the cleanest operation. Lakewood location. Will not return.

My husband and I stopped here for lunch on a recent visit to Cleveland and oh man was it delicious!! It's a pretty small spot and when we walked in, no one else was there. But we must have just gotten there right in time because while we ate, a steady stream of folks came in for lunch. I opted for build your own tacos - one chicken, one chorizo and one barbacoa. Each was just as good as the last. It's similar to Chipotle where you walk down the line and let them know what you'd like to add and they had plenty of yummy toppings. My husband had a burrito and enjoyed his as well. Chips and salsa (we had the pico) were also perfect. They make a great pico. This really hit the spot and I would highly recommend stopping by!!

I came for Cleveland Scene Magazine's Cleveland taco week. The tacos and chips were fresh and outstanding. I came on Saturday 4-20-24 around 11:20 AM. Pay a little extra and get chips and salsa.

While I haven't physically been here. I ordered Postmates the other night. I don't know how busy this place gets but the order was pushed out 3 times and extended almost an hour after the original time given. It was 6:30ish when the order was placed. By the time our food arrived it was closer to 8pm. We were almost tempted to cancel the order but the driver was already at the restaurant. The food its self was very unappealing and ice cold by the time it arrived. I didn't realize when you order the salsas that they actually put them on the burrito rather than on the side. That was my bad but there was so much filling and very little carnitas on this ice cold burrito. I've gotten burritos delivered elsewhere and with it being double wrapped in foil usually so hot you can't even touch it. Again it was ice cold almost refrigerated temp. Now as far as the taste, no! It was absolutely gross. The guacamole and chips. Chips are store bought and stale and the guacamole had a very odd taste. The burrito was a sad excuse of an entree and all of it went straight to the trash.

Please. Do not come here. Completely disorganized and DISRESPECTFUL crew served my husband and I. I asked for a veggie quesadilla and if they could put veggies... you should have seen how my server looked me and was pissed at me or something. SHE DID NOT PUT VEGGIES IN MY QUESADILLA. Like straight up beans and cheese and served with an attitude that made me feel like... have I done something wrong to you?? Tf. Do not waste your time here. Ambiance was mad weird too. They were hiring for a bunch of roles and expect for one girl, literally everyone else (especially my server) should be fired ASAP. I'm not joking.

I wish I had pictures to post for this place because it was so fabulous. I lived in the West Coast for over 30 years and I have found nothing that was closer to Mexican food from this place you come in and you're standing in line and order what you want within minutes is prepared and out to go. It was smooth and easy. The atmosphere was fun and cozy. The food was Hot delicious and spicy if you wanted it I can't wait to go back well worth the trip.

This is a local Chipotle. If you are in the mood for fast burrito/burrito bowl/taco service than definitely come here and skip Chipotle or the other chain eateries of the like. The employees are friendly, the food is fresh and the atmosphere is fun. It is right in a main stretch of Cleveland near the market and one of my favorite bars, Avo. I went with a burrito bowl and the chicken was great and the rest of the toppings I got on my bowl was great.

Despite a minor hiccup due to my having placed my lunch order through ToastTab (per the restaurant's website) and arriving earlier than the stated time for pick-up, the staff at Ohio City Burrito stayed cheerful and got to work efficiently making my online order as soon as they located it. And omg you guys! The food is so good! Easily the best burrito in Cleveland. By far. I got a two brothers burrito with all the fixins and it will definitely provide me with two satisfying meals. The barbacoa is out of this world. The cilantro rice is so good I wish I'd ordered double. Their flour tortilla has the perfect balance of stretch, strength, and taste!! I will definitely be back. My only constructive advice is to order in person. The ambiance of this place is fun, clean, and mouth-watering. And their toasttab system is far less efficient than the ladies are in person. Give them some face time and I promise it'll be worth the effort.

I ordered for the first time at Ohio city burritos and bought 2 burritos for delivery, I ordered chorizo,white rice,black beans,pico salsa.This was the worst burrito I've ever had maybe the chorizo just wasn't fresh horrible after taste , cooks should definitely taste the food their cooking before giving it to the public.I wouldn't even give my extra burrito to my neighbor,it really must go in the trash .I wouldnt want to make anyone sick.Give Ohio city burrito a chance at your own risk , chicken might be better.

Great food and hospitality. Love to dine in with my family. My only suggestion is to offer fish for the non meat eaters.

(DID NOT VISIT LOCATION- UBER EATS DELIVERY) I was craving a burrito one night and figured I should try to order from a local spot. I was pleasurably surprised by a huge burrito (you will definitely get a bit of bang for your buck) however the flavor was lacking. Don't get me wrong, I love a huge burrito, but I believe flavor is worth more. The chips along with my order were also pretty bland. Perhaps I should order again in the future or visit in person? I'm willing to give them another shot since everyone rants and raves about this place! Even my delivery driver picked up an order for himself and told me it was better than Chipotle! Unfortunately I don't share the same sentiments at this moment in time, but I'm open to changing my mind in the future!

Great food, fast service and a casual fun atmosphere! I highly recommend this place but make sure to have an appetite. The burritos are GINORMOUS

I ordered from Uber Eats. The meal came very quickly. However everything was cold. When I ordered they must've been in the process of closing down, which means they were trying to close down early and sacrifice the quality of food. In addition the order was not correct there were several toppings missing on my burrito assuming they probably put them away and didn't want to bring them back out realized it was the end of the night from them I would not have ordered. But overall very disappointed. also, the dessert that I ordered was wrong they have a choice between a vanilla flan and the chocolate flan. They sent me the chocolate when I ordered the vanilla probably just will never order from them again.

This is second one I've visited and I'm kinda on the fence with this location. First off my companion quickly pointed out that there was an unpleasant odor, maybe dirty mop water. The young ladies who waited on us also talked to one another more than the customers. The food was good as usual, which made the visit worth it. I opted for tacos with the chicken and my companion went with the quesadilla with shrimp. The portions are a good size and the food is fresh. Just need better customer service at this location.

These burritos are massive. Had Uber Eats bring me a couple of these burritos and I had to double check they weren't delivered from the hospital, because they were as large as an infant child. Exaggerating a bit but you can bet I'm skipping Chipotle from now on.

They have vegetarian options! Their refried beans are vegetarian as well. Very tasteful options. Not greasy at all which is a plus. It tastes like wholesome ingredients. They didn't put guac in my burrito and I did ask for this so that was a bummer since guac is my favorite..... The pico de Gallo sauce was sooooo fresh and delicious. I'd definitely go here again. Also, their chips are not too salty which is a plus as well. The employees have fun together. They weren't wearing masks which may be required at this time if I'm not mistaken. They were nice and they made the food very well!! Much appreciated.

Staff is awesome, barbacoa is phenomenal, the portions and food quality are exceptional. They get real busy around dinner time, but that's cuz they don't skimp on fantastic service. This place has it dialed in. Real good kick to everything and the choices of salsa are well-rounded. Keep it up and thanks!

Yummmmmmm, yummmm, yum, yum! Wow, maybe I'm being dramatic but this place makes some seriously damn good burritos! I can barely drive by without stopping! They have the same kinda set up as Subway or Chipotle where you order at the counter and they build your burrito based on what toppings you want. My biggest suggestion is to make sure you get quest on your burrito because, whoa, theirs is sooooo tasty! On both of my visits I've had a shrimp burrito on flour tortilla with white rice and it has been extremely delicious. For the average person, these burritos are definitely big enough for two meals too.

Ohio City Burrito is basically the local version of the national chain, Chipotle. They ingredients are fresh, or food is made to order in front of you, and the menu is simple yet satisfying. The interior of this particular location could use some work. The decor was a combination of local flare, day of the dead, and t-shirts bashing Chipotle. Additionally, the floors and tables were in need of a deep clean. The staff was delightful. They were very engaging and provided excellent customer service.the food was tasty (we ordered a chicken burrito with guacamole and a cheese quesadilla). The prices were very comparable to other modern Mexican restaurants. I like the concept, and I'm all about competition, but I wasn't a fan of publicly downing other companies.

A smooth operating Assembly line of people take great care in putting together your burrito or a bowl. I recommend pulled pork as the protein. Was my first time and I was impressed. They were out of some of the drinks though.I rate the meal 8/10.

This is a great place to go when you want good food, quick service and variety. It is similar to chipotle but more authentic, has more options and tastes better in my opinion. Also, sometimes after eating Chipotle, I feel heavy and bloated, but I have not had this happen at Ohio City Burrito, which makes me think it is cooked in less salts, oils, etc. I also appreciate the service here. Today it was a little off- I think they were training some new employees, but usually they are helpful and friendly. They also move the lines fast, which is a plus. Ohio City Burrito also has things other than burritos, including flan (which is like a gelatin cake and is really good!) And jarritos (kind of like fizzy juice). My favorite thing about this place is that they have chopped cilantro and shrimp, which I find really unique for a quick-order authentic restaurant.

This is the spot to go to if you are visiting Cleveland and are in need of a solid burrito. Growing up in California, I've had a lot of mind blowing burritos so can't be so cavalier to hand OCB a 5 star; however, had no complaints and will definitely come back when I'm in town and in need of a burrito fix. I opted for the naked burrito, cutting the carbs down a bit, and happily devoured the majority of the bowl. I noticed my buddy fixated on his Shrimp burrito. 20 minutes later, $20 lighter, 2 pounds heavier, my buddy and I left. Quick, cheap, lots of food! 1 drawback, I asked for Carne Asada, the cashier looked at me and said "Huh, what's that?" ...

Honestly I don't know why I haven't had this place sooner! The burritos are amazing ! They have so many choices and the flavor in everything ! Their sauces are great! The tortilla is great! Their chicken and rice are great! Everything is packed with flavor and great! I love their nachos as well! Very authentic food ! ! The service is great as well!

This place is amazing!! My boyfriend and I have made the 40 minute trip 3 times just to eat there. And will most definitely be back!

Forreal this place is fire. Just as good as Chipotle. I like their own spin on the fast casual Mexican joint. Delicious salsas and oh my god the spicy pulled beef makes salivate.

Yum!! I have to say it is pretty hard to go wrong with a burrito as far as I'm concerned, but wow OCB did burritos so so right! The restaurant is relatively small and has a fast casual feel. At the counter, you can order a burrito from the menu or customize your own. I chose to customize and loved all of the choices that were available, starting with flour or wheat tortillas. I filled my burrito with sour cream, carnitas, black beans, cheese, onions, corn salsa, and cilantro. I was happy that I could add cilantro, and felt that this wasn't really an option at the chain burrito locations I've been to. The carnitas were amazing and melted in your mouth. The corn salsa was flavorful. They also spread your sour cream (or guac) on your tortilla at the very beginning, so you don't end up with all the sour cream in one section of your burrito. It is all spread pretty evenly. All in all, it was a delicious burrito and the staff was very friendly! I will definitely be back. I'm actually already craving another.

OCB is a quality option when you're looking for something filling, tasty, cheap, and customizable. I'm a big fan of BYO style places and appreciate the chance to support a local option instead of a national outlet. Good portion sizes and prices support the amount of food you're getting. Same business model as Chipotle but there's definitely more variety in the topping selection and pricing isn't the same (e.g. I think guac costs less or might even be free here). I've only gotten Chicken as a protein here and it's tasty, I appreciate the stewed Tinga variety they offer compared to most Mexican places offering just grilled chicken. Burritos are big and the naked burritos (i.e. bowls) are also a good, filling, and budget friendly option. Haven't explored the rest of the menu so I can't speak to taco options, quesadillas, or dessert. Restaurant seems to be managing the safety of COVID-19 well. They limit 5 customers in the store at any one time and their interior dining room is closed. Employees are all wearing masks and do a good job of sanitizing between customers and wearing PPE.

This place was a pleasant surprise. When I first walked in I thought this is just something similar to chipotle but not as good. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. They have a couple of unique sauces their green sauce is a little more sweet and then they have a more tropical type habanero, and a super hot red space. I had a taco salad and everything on it was wonderful. The only thing I found a bit disappointing was the cleanliness of the bathroom. I felt like I almost put it down one star because of that, But the food was so good that I didn't.

I've been here before my yelp days and i loved it, recent visit was good, ordered the Barbacoa Tacos. The hot salsa's and grandmas salsa totally saved the taste, so if you love hot sauce this is your place! All is organic and they have great tasty vegan options. They also have 2 tables outside that are great in the summer. For the Go, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE NAKED BURRITO!! Nachos, Quesadillas, Tacos, Burrito, Bowls, salsa too!

Very good. Nice selection and love you can customize it to your taste. Was a little loud for likely but that wouldn't make us not to go back.

This is definitely one of the best burrito spots around. Fresh food. Jalapeños, refried beans, which I love. Really can't go wrong. I get chicken and beef alot. Both delicious. Shrimp is also worth it. Great service. Wonderful staff...must try!

Yes! I have passed Ohio City Burrito many of times and every single time I have said "Hey, that looks good, I need to try that!" And have never gotten around to it until recently. Now I am so mad at myself for not going sooner because it's my new favorite place. Ask my Mom, I've told her several times. I popped in to grab a quick bite because I had a busy day ahead and wasn't looking to spend a lot of time eating. The space is small, and there were a lot of people enjoying their meals, but no one in line. Score! They had a simple chalk board menu with a few options like tacos, burritos and bowls amongst some others. I decided to go with the namesake burrito. This was a "build your own" set up. They start off with sour cream and guac, which is NOT extra (I'm ballin on a budget so this is great news) then add whatever toppings you want! They have multiple salsa and rice options and a good variety of things to add. I'm not big on beans, so they replaced them with fajita veggies. I ordered the barbacoa beef and was warned about the spice, I'm glad I still went with it because the meat had the perfect balance of heat and flavor. I should also mention that this burrito was GIANT. Like actually huge. And delicious! As I said before I'm now obsessed and if I lived closer I would go everyday, so it's probably a good thing it's a bit of a drive for me. Also worth mentioning, I parked in the lot by west side market and since I was at Ohio City Burrito for less than 1.5hrs, parking was free!

The food is good and the price is right, especially for downtown... one problem, dude working the reguester just cashed someone out, wrapped my burrito, then cashed me out - all wearing the same gloves. I have nothing else to say, but I have to type more words to make Yelp happy.

Very good food, better than chipotle. The chicken is shredded not diced which is the superior way to each chicken in a burrito!

Great quality and reasonable price! My fav is their beef and I recommend getting salsa on the side with ! The staff are very friendly and answer all questions even though they are super busy . I have to say this is one of the gem's of CLE and highly recommend to anyone visiting the city or is in the area for an excellent lunch/dinner option ! Pro tip never be afraid to politely ask for extra scoop of veggies or rice to elevate your burrito to a new level!!

This place is great! My bf and I got the brother's burrito with chicken and the other with carnitas. Both are pulled and saucy. We both got black beans (also very well seasoned) and fajita veggies (onions and peppers) are extra (why? All other chains serve it complimentary). I love the corn salsa as well as the habanero salsa (which is actually spicy!) My only gripe is that I wish the tortilla was a bit more chewy and a bit thicker. The burritos were sooooo loaded that the tortilla gets weepy quickly.

Gosh, I still love Ohio City Burrito. A lot. Cue yesterday! When one of my other favorite nearby establishments was randomly closed despite their hours. Then I remembered, "OCB!" and felt ridiculous, like its that dude I've been friend-zoning for a while. It had been a while, but now that we're back together, I re-see the light, because he's awesome. I always stick with the Brother's Burrito with guacamole, rice, any meat, veggies galore and salsa. Their ingredients always feel significantly fresher than other places. At OCB, all of their meat is juicy and tender. Whereas at other spots I may just get chicken, you can truly get the pork or carnitas here and be completely happy. I can't explain how satisfying I find their burritos. The staff is awesome and friendly despite being open quite late. Anyone who I can talk about dogs with is an A+ human in my book and they are always pleasant to see. OCB's awesome, inexpensive eats make them worth the trip every time. When you're checking out at the register, don't forget to ask if they have any horchata or fresh limeade. They make some of the best horchata around town! Viva la OCB.

Ashamed to admit that this was my first time ever here. I've either been out of town so much or have simply bypassed it for whatever reason for a few years. Stopped by around 2PM yesterday. Nice people, small, and cool space. It'a a glorified Chipotle and I like Chipotle. Really clean flavors and very tasty salsas. I went with the normal 'Big Brother' burrito. I chose 1/2 shredded chicken and 1/2 barbacoa. I believe guac is included. I skipped the sour cream and added black beans and onions/green peppers (a la the Chipotle 'fajitas'). Then you add the other stuff like corn, choice of salsas, lettuce, cheese, etc. Rolled properly and extremely tight like a big rectangle/log. I will say it was way too wet inside, IMO, preventing this from being a 5* review. The woman who was spooning the meat in mostly spooned in marinade with very little of the already very fine, pulled, and super shredded meat. She bypassed some of the bigger chunks in the trough which was a little disappointing. Great flavor but it led to a way too wet and sloppy burrito. Not sure if this is by design or instruction, or, just a random off day. They have a freaking delicious horchata cooler/dispenser there as well as limeade. The horchata is just so damn good. Didn't try the limeade which I'm sure is terrific. You can tell there is some TLC in what they do there. It was about $10 for the burrito and horchata. Looking forward to the next time!

Welcome to your local chipotle just smaller, crammed into a tighter space, and fewer options but as every other review before me says - it's better than the chains by a large margin. Being vegetarian my options are limited so from what I tried it was pretty nice. I wish the staff could answer questions like - are your beans all vegetarian without looking at me like I'm asking an insane question but maybe it's obvious to them and it was packed to the gills so ill give them that. Parking isn't the greatest but there is street parking available if you are lucky , so that makes things a little harder but it's a local store and I'd say the minor inconvenience is worth it for me, your views may vary. Went with a friend who had some non vegetarian option and she raved about it so carnivores rejoice, it is good supposedly The chips were just ok nothing great, the quac was ok too. Nothing fancy but then again they did not promise anything fancy. The spicy salsa was actually spicy and I liked that !! Overall food and service 4/5. Will come back when I feel like Mexican in the area.

My family and Myself ate at Ohio City Burrito in Lakewood yesterday and wow everything was exceptional! I have been to other similar places but OCB is the only place we will go from now. Fresh ingredients for local vendors and made fresh daily. We are 110% hooked! If you haven't tried don't wait to long. I love supporting local businesses who go above and beyond for their customers! Brandon G.

Had a great meal with colleagues, got a burrito with brown rice shrimp guacamole and all the veggies; amazing can't wait to return.

We stopped in for a bite while visiting the West Side Market. What a great bite to eat! Fresh ingredients, great veggie options and friendly staff.

Came here for dinner this weekend with some friends. Let me start by saying that the staff is great, so kudos to them! 4.5 stars for them. 4 stars for the food. First time here but have been meaning to try for a while. Got a burrito: white tortilla, guac, white rice, no beans but got the veggies, carnitss, corn, mild and medium salsas, cheese and lettuce. The burrito was wrapped perfectly and tight - none of that sloppy Chipotle mess wrapping and Each bite had a good mix of ingredients. Overall very pleased though was hoping the medium salsa would have more kick. I'll have to try the hot next time.

OCB! One of a kind burrito place. One reason my husband prefers OCB is because you can get guacamole in your burrito for no extra charge. Unlike Chipotle where they want about $3 for a scoop of their guac. And those prices just keep going up. I like that they also offer the burrito bowl option. And again you can put as many toppings as you want. I had asked for guacamole as well. As I was eating the bowl I felt like I couldn't taste any guac so I went back up with my bowl and asked for some. The server was very nice and gave me a scoop of guacamole and then asked if that was enough or needed more! Great customer service!! I also like that they have a nacho option. Not just your chips and salsa or chips and guac option at chipotle. I will have to get this the next time I'm in Ohio City. They also have a fish option! What!?! I know right!!! It's a tortilla encrusted Tilapia - will also be trying that the next time! Another great thing they have is Horchata! It's a drink made with rice milk, vanilla and cinnamon. You gotta try it!

This is better than Chipotle! There's more options, there's many sauces, and Ohio City Burrito is even cheaper than Chipotle! I had a burrito there since yesterday was Cinco de Mayo and...here's to a belated Cinco de Mayo!

Was really looking forward to trying this place but was unable to due to the issue of the *Required field of protein for a naked bowl. I do not want meat, there wasn't a "none" option nor could I include any special requests. Called the restaurant, this was the exchange: Me: "Hi I'm trying to order a naked bowl with no meat"; Him: "uhhhmm just get the veggie bowl"; Me: "there isn't a veggie bowl on the menu"; Him: "......." Me: "......, hello?" *click*. So if you're a vegetarian or just do not want meat you will have to go elsewhere.
