Chile Burrito

Chile burrito puts chipotle to shame. Love the variety of meats and sizes that chile burrito has to offer. As you go through the assembly line everything is pretty familiar. One differentiator is that they throw the burritos on the grill to help make them more pliable and give a little texture. Also the salsa bar is a great option to customize your meal to your liking.

Every once in a while you stumble upon something and you wonder why you hadn't been there before. Such is the chase with Chile Burrito. I mean, it's not like it's hidden or hard to find, I just hadn't been into the unexpectedly large retail area that it's located in until recently. What I didn't expect to find from its rather unassuming store front was AWESOMENESS.The first thing you notice is color. From the mural on the wall to the streamers hanging from the ceiling to the chairs that are all kinds of colors, Chile Burrito is a festival of colors from the second you walk in the door.The menu is laid out on chalk boards above the food area, hand written in various colors of chalk. The menu options are huge and run the gambit of all of your Mexican favorites from tacos to burritos to quesadillas to bowls, each available with a protein (or two) of your choice. Like other fast casual Mexican eateries, as you go down the line you add the ingredients you want to suite your taste. Some come with an upcharge, some don't. Items that come with an upcharge are listed on the menu board above. It isn't hard or confusing at all. While some reviewers state confusion about how/where to order, I have to wonder why. Have they never been to QDoba? Chipotle? Along with posting a photo of the menu, I've also included a close-up of one particular section of the menu. Consider yourself challenged.My choice was a chicken bowl with cilantro-lime rice, add some fajita veggies and sour cream. A side of chips and salsa, of course, because this meal needs to be well-rounded. One nice thing is the salsa bar, with five different salsas of different varieties and heat levels. I tried all five and found my favorite to the three-pepper Tomatilla d'arbol. Nice flavor, a little smoky, and just enough heat to let you know it's there.My food was great. I don't know what kind of seasoning or marinade they used on the chicken but it was amazingly good and very moist, not dry like some other places. The chips were good but a bit thick for my taste (nothing I'd take any points away for), and worked well with the various flavors of salsa.During my roughly 40 minute visit the dining room and trash were tended to a couple times and the salsa station and drink station wiped down to keep them clean.During my monthly visits to Brentwood I'm always on the lookout for great places to eat. This one just go added to my rotation.

Great little place. Cozy atmosphere, food is made when you order. Fast friendly service.prices are good too. Don't need an equity LOC for a family to eat there.

Great portion sizes! Quick and good service! It's a Brentwood staple that been around for years!

Stopped in Chile Burrito after a day of shopping in Nashville. It's in the same lot as TJ Maxx/Home Goods and Nordstrom Rack. Similar to Chipotle in that you order what you want and customize it down the line. Service was fast but we had no line. Cost ~$40 for three people. A little pricey but maybe because we had a few add ons like guac. I got the smoked beef brisket 10" burrito. Good size, can't imagine getting a larger one (they offer the Titan - a 3 foot long burrito for those up for the challenge!!) Brisket was juicy and flavorful. Added guac and queso and mushrooms for extra charge. Lots of toppings. Comes with rice and beans and cheese if you like. Chips were homemade and crispy, not oily. Great crunch. A variety of salsas and hot sauces at the salsa bar are available. Baja Fruit Tea was the highlight for me, a mango tea ... can't tell if it's a black tea base or what but really tasty and definitely recommend!! Seemingly unlimited refills so I also tried the Horchata but it was weak and tasted more like water. Friends said quesadilla and burrito bowl were also good. Big portion sizes for the bowl. Bathrooms on-site and clean. Happy to find Tex Mex in Brentwood!

This is always my go to spot when I don't want to cook! The grilled burritos are fantastic and the ingredients are always super tasty! My must have is definitely the fruit tea!

This is a pretty simple no frills place with counter service and self serve drinks so why is it so often packed? Because the food is really good. I had a 12" grilled steak burrito and it was delicious. You choose your own fillings ( lettuce tomato onions etc) then it is folded, grilled and wrapped in aluminum foil. Truly delicious, tender beef, fresh veggies and grilled to perfection If you're in Brentwood definitely worth stopping here, it may even be worth a special trip!

Lacked flavor with all the ingredients being bunched together and not spread throughout the burrito. Employees were not friendly either. Don't get queso unless you want an insane upcharge and are fine with not even tasting the queso....

Everything is great, always has been. Workers these days need to be retrained in customer service and patience. Gave me tortilla slop wrapped in foil without half the stuff I wanted in it. Sorry, but I don't prefer to play roulette with my food. Sad to say I won't return after a 13 year run. (Double meat here means one and a half scoops)

I went here for the first time in 4th grade and probably have not gone a week without having it at least once since. I grew up with this as my favorite restaurant and I would go here for birthdays and receive gift cards as gifts for every occasion. Its food is fantastic and it's ignorant to go to this restaurant and not get the baja fruit tea. I can drive now and go here at least twice a week and my main reason for having a job is to pay for this multiple times a week. This is the greatest restaurant ever made and would recommend with my whole heart to go here as much as you can.
