Phat Burrito

We all loved hearing the news that Phat Burrito is coming back and let me tell you, I am so happy it's back! The food is just still sooooo good! The burrito is huge (phat), the salsas were delicious, Hot is actually Hot! And that empanada with the green sauce was everything! I also tried the quesadilla and they were just as good. It's self service but you can also order through a QR code, there is a full bar and drinks in cans in a fridge. The outside patio is a nice add and can't wait to see out there on a warm day! All in all, I am happy the place is back and kept some of his original menu items!

Phat is back!!! So full disclosure: I used to live in the building next to Phat Burrito (before it turned into Flowerchild) so I was a regular. I do miss the charm of "Charlotte past" since PB was a trailblazer in the Southend area.This return to "lower Southend" was very welcome to me and, though I miss the bars on the window, I'm glad they are making their space their own.The staff is super friendly. If you dine in, you are given a table number that you prop up on the paper towel holder at the table and the food is brought to you when it is ready.This new location has some nice booths and even outdoor seating.With all the new apartment buildings coming online, I'm sure parking is going to be a thing, but for now, there's plenty of street parking on Tryclan Drive and Dewitt Ln.I'm usually a burrito guy but decided on a salad for this particular visit. The salad was ginormous and I ended up taking it home for another meal later in the evening.Staff buses the tables (which I felt self conscious about becuase I usually like to clear my own table). There's also a station to grab silverware and a variety of hot sauces to use on your meal. I did end up returning the hot sauce to the hot sauce station in an effort to help out the table bussing :)Aside from the tables in the dining area, there is a bar area, full bar and TVs to watch various sporting events. Art on the wall is cool, I recognized homage to the old location in some of the art hanging along the dining room walls.

What a great spot! As people have noted, "we missed the original phat burrito" - BUT this "new one" is just as good! Stuffed make-your-own burrito style with a few other select options such as salads and quesadillas, Phat Burrito is in an excellent location close to other breweries, restaurants and super-walkable light rail. If you're in the mood for some no-frills Mexican or a burrito, I'd recommend giving PB a try. Staff was friendly and nice, prices weren't too bad. Next time I'm in the area, I'll go back but try something new.

First time trying Phat Burrito and I must say I am very pleased! I ordered the BBQ Chicken PHAT Quesadillas with grilled bell peppers and jalapeños and the Shrimp & Crab Empanada. They were so yummy! The sauce that came with the Shrimp & Crab Empanada stole the show, it's so tasty! But I must say this, I don't eat beef or pork and there was a piece of beef found in the quesadillas. So hopefully they do better with controlling that. I ordered to go, and they have a returning customer in me, (as long as I don't have the same issue again)

I finally got around to trying Phat Burrito and it was just okay to me. My sisters have been raving about this place since they've opened. The customer service is great! (Like I literally thought one employee was the owner how above and beyond he goes.)It wasn't really crowded during lunch time on a Sunday and has a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the chicken burrito and hubby ordered the steak burrito. It actually comes with four toppings not two. I asked for queso, sour cream rice and pico inside of mine. Unfortunately, about half way through I realized the queso was forgotten. The chips and guacamole were good. I ended up opening it and adding guacamole inside because it just didn't have enough flavor for me. The salsa is more smoky than spicy.Hubby said mine would have been better if the queso was on it.... Since queso and guacamole are premium toppings, If I go back I'll get queso and chips on the side and add the guacamole to my burrito.

Was told they have the best burrito in Charlotte, but I was underwhelmed with flavor from the chicken. However, the chicken quesadilla is very good.

Came to Phat Burrito today as it was suggested to me by a friend. I love Mexican food so I was eager to try this place. We were served by Rashad who kindly gave us suggestions. After looking at the menu, I decided to get the chicken salad which came out to about $14. There's lettuce, pico de gallo, brand, rice, corn, cheese and cucumbers. It was so much food and very delicious. I went on a Sunday afternoon and there was a decent amount of people eating indoors and outdoors. It's in a great location with other places to eat and a Pilates studio next door. I will certainly be back to try other menu items!

Amazing and filling burritos! Even their tacos were delicious! Great food and good service. Parking isn't that great, we went during the week lunchtime.

I genuinely love this place and love that it's back! It's on my way to my daughters school so I stop here to treat myself. 5pm is a great time to come because everyone is here for lunch. The food never fails. I always get a burrito but last time I got birria and BABY!!!! It blew my mind. You can go wrong here. They have beer, wine, and tequila. I can't wait for a night to just hang out here.

I wish I could give a higher rating, or if I could do a 2.5 star rating I would, but I can't stretch it to 3 stars here. Definitely a cool spot with plentiful seating indoors and outdoors, in a fun location with growing business, apartments and popularity. The staff members were very nice as well. However, it comes down to the food, and it just didn't hit any spot. I forgot to take a picture of the burrito. The guy said 12" but it was really 6" (I guess unfolded was 12"?). They also forgot 2 side sauces and jalapeños on the side, and instead had the jalapeños chopped up inside the burrito. Also got a chicken quesadilla, but both the burrito and quesadilla were just barely "eh". Not that I'm trying to dissuade anyone from supporting this business, just honestly reviewing that for me personally there's really no reason for me to eat here again.
