Barrio Burrito Bar is a gem nestled at 20 N Dupont Hwy in Dover, DE, offering a vibrant take on Mexican cuisine that leaves a lasting impression on its visitors. Customers rave about the quality and freshness of the ingredients, with many highlighting the jerk chicken as a must-try. RedBeardGunz passionately declares it far superior to chains like Qdoba and Chipotle, praising the flavor and complimentary hot sauce reminiscent of Caribbean pepper sauce.
A cozy atmosphere paired with friendly staff elevates the dining experience. Charity Merrell notes the variety of toppings and the opportunity to sample sauces before making a decision, making it a customer-centered environment. The customization options and balanced pricing are also frequently mentioned positives, with Amanda Dempsey highlighting the shrimp and pineapple salsa as standout options.
However, a few critiques suggest that while many patrons enjoy their meals, the restaurant had an off day for some. Matthew Martin mentions a recent dip in quality, but overall, Barrio Burrito Bar remains a popular choice for those seeking a delicious and fresh alternative to conventional fast-casual Mexican fare.

This place surprised me... Ate here three days in a row. If you’re in the area, just don’t even go to Qdoba or Chipotle. This food is fresher, Way more flavorful, and just overall way better! I got the jerk chicken, And if you like spicy, I highly recommend their hot sauce It is like a Caribbean Pepper sauce!

If you’re looking for better alternative to Chipotle, this is the place to go. Pricing, flavors and customization all in all make this place better. I definitely recommend to put jerk chicken in your bowl or burrito, it’s amazing.

Just all around 10/10. My first time and I’ve been wanting to try this place and they did not disappoint. The bowl was so delicious with a great variety of toppings to add on. They let me try the sauces before I decided on one for sure. Super cozy environment and the friendliest staff. Will definitely be coming back!

This place is better than Chipotle AND Moes. Food is fresh although the spicy chicken was a bit mild but they have plenty of spicy sauce options. My favorite was the shrimp and the choice of pineapple salsa. Love this place. Portions are good for what you pay. Highly recommend trying

Pretty good place, better than Chipotle. Think I may have had a newer employee and she was very pleasant and good. The pricing is okay and the portions are good. I would come back. 3/21/25 The name has changed and quality has gone a little bit downhill. My burrito was an absolute mess. They ended up having to double wrap it because they didn't drain the beans or the meat before they put it on the burrito. The woman serving do not seem to understand a ton of English and unfortunately I don't speak any Spanish. Not as thrilled, less likely to return.

So I’m not really a review leaver; but I had to stop pass, Burrito Bar you never disappoint. I could get the jerk chicken or the crispy and it’s always good. For that past Three months whenever I want some fresh, good food I come str8 to the Burrito Bar. The service, atmosphere is nice and I love the Grapefruit Jarritos, if your old skool it reminds me of the 90’s soda Surge. Oh and the Guacamole is good. Long story short; I love this place. The food is amazing, and the customer service is BOMB!! If I had to spend my money anywhere in Dover it would be here!

This place was amazing. My family and I wanted to try it out... way better than other burrito bars around. Fresh ingredients and awesome service. We tried the Jerk chicken bowl and burrito. It was perfect. My wife had their veggie bowl with their homemade burrito sauce, perfection. We will be back, I gotta try their Band Bang shrimp. Don’t sleep on this spot, it’s quick, generous portions and a good price.

Such a great new place for us to try, personally I think it's better than Chipotle right now, which is something we can compare this too. Friendly staff helped us with our first order and catered to the time we needed to prepare our order. Price point is something to be happy about cause with the large bowls you get a ton of food and very affordable for dates or solo. Add this place to your place to try next, as we have to our return spots.
