Ottawa’s Only Family-Owned Burrito Chain

Burrito Gringo Mexican Grill is a proud locally-owned and operated Mexican restaurant in Ottawa, delivering fresh, authentic flavors. Unlike large fast-food chains, we focus on quality, handcrafted meals that keep our customers coming back. Over the past ten years, we've grown to six locations across Ottawa, bringing the best burritos, tacos, and Mexican food to the community.

We believe in supporting local, which is why we source our ingredients from nearby suppliers. Every dish is made by hand, from the sizzling meats to the freshly prepared salsas, because we know you value the rich, authentic taste of homemade food. When you visit any Burrito Gringo near you, you’ll experience the vibrant flavors, delicious aromas, and authentic taste that sets us apart from the rest.

What Makes Us Unique?

Our Signature Spices

Our carefully crafted blend of authentic Mexican spices gives our food its bold, unforgettable flavor. Every seasoning mix is prepared fresh—no artificial flavors, just real taste.

Our House-Made Sauces

From our spicy salsas to our creamy guacamole, every sauce is made in-house daily, using fresh, hand-picked ingredients.

Meat Preparation – Slow-Cooked, Never Frozen

We never use frozen meats—our proteins are marinated with house-made spices, slow-cooked, and grilled fresh to lock in bold, authentic flavors.

Fresh Guacamole & Beans – Made Daily

We take pride in our fresh, hand-prepared guacamole and slow-cooked beans—no cans, no preservatives, just the way they’re meant to be enjoyed.

No Freezer. No Microwave. Just Real Food.

At Burrito Gringo Mexican Grill, preparation is key to delivering the freshest and most authentic Mexican food in Ottawa. We start early every morning to handcraft every dish with care. Our team is up with the sun, dicing fresh cilantro, chopping ripe tomatoes, juicing zesty limes, and scooping avocados to make the best guacamole around. We take pride in simmering beans, seasoning meats, and blending salsas daily. Our steak, chicken, beef, and pork are carefully braised and grilled to perfection, delivering unbeatable flavor in every bite. Whether you're craving a burrito near you, a delicious taco, or a full meal, our handmade food ensures you’ll keep coming back for more. Plus, our house-made desserts are the perfect sweet ending to your meal.

Office Catering. I highly recommend them. We have a large group (+225) and it's one of our favourite catered lunches. Food is fresh, plentiful and delicious. They accommodate allergies and food preferences. It is delivered, set up and kept in warmers and then picked up in a timely fashion at a great price!
