The Buffalo bar-rito, with its standard all-natural chicken, like all menu items that come with meat, can easily be made vegetarian by asking for tofu instead.

The best bar-ritos and chili bowls. A great option for eating healthy in the loop. Armando is excellent, great service and quick with recommendations!

When you order a shake be sure you tell them what size. They don't ask and assume you want the large one. (tell them at the register too!)

Serving size continues to get smaller. That bowl of pesto is barely half full...

Go for the original barrito if you're looking for a clean, heavy meal. Tons of protein and carbs.

One of the advertisements on their window.

The line in the morning can be long. Employees sometimes seem more concerned with other things than the customers waiting in line. The smoothies are pretty good and there are not any alternatives.
