I am starting to question the food prep. practices here. Ate lunch here today and my stomach is not happy hours later. This is not the first time this has happened after eating here. Tastes OK going down, but something is not right.

I've been eating breakfast here for 2-3years.

I've been eating breakfast here for 2-3years.
Food:
The only reason I didn't give Excellent for the food was that since they moved there have been a few issues with undercooked bacon and messed up orders from my coworkers. But in the end theres no denying the quality especially for the price.

Decor:
I lump in logistics of how easily orders are placed and received into this category.
The decor good:
Clearly the owner (owners?) care about making the place look nicer since they moved to a new location with a nicer building. The wall mounted case with dried chilis and seeds looks great.
The decor bad:
There is no dividers in the ordering area! Anything would be nice to help with the flow of ordering and picking up orders. Also, the hard chair seating is cramped with people constantly avoiding each other to pick up their orders once the food is ready.

Service:
The lowest score listed is due to Connie. A self-described "loud-mouth", she will not make you feel welcome, and will come off as too busy for you; even on the slowest of days. I thought that she was the owner for a while from the way she acted since you must have amazing job security to get away with a consistently negative attitude.

Good

Not as good as it used to be, the quality has gone down as the prices have gone up. Used to be a main stay in the area but I think they are phoning it in now. Better options for burritos near by

Burritos here are just plain lazy and bad quality. Soggy tortillas, barely any guacamole in the burrito (might as well play the extra dollar at chipotle). I ve had heartburn all damn day and the taste of the meat was just old. So much grease that it goes through the wrapper and tin foil and onto the bag.. I want my money back

Ordered 13+ burritos for my agents each 5+ dollars. I asked for a company discount like most business give to their neighbors maybe 5% to 10% percent off the bill which would be about $6.00 off a over $60.00 bill the lady over the phone and at the counter laughed at me as if this was a new concept. Not to mention they said 15 minutes for pick up and i waited almost 35 minutes for pick up

Hadn't been for a while since moving to QC. I really enjoyed the fish burrito even though it was Thursday. This Friday they discount from $5.99 to $4.99 - either way well worth the price. If you're willing to share, can feed two. I wasn't willing ...

Seriously best burritos in the valley! I recommend BCO to anyone from out of town and all my friends. They all come back and say they love it! Really good food, great prices, and friendly faces. You can even call ahead and place an order to go if you want to try it from the comfort of your own home! Easy peasy! :D

If you're looking for delicious Mexican food, you need to come here. The food is fantastic and environment is simple. Prices are very good compared to other Mexican places but the food and environment don't even compare to those places. Would 100% recommend to anyone!

Yum!

Still open and serving THE FINEST TRADITIONAL and Healthy Food. Great chilli's, tortillas, pork, beef, seafood, and VEGITARIAN selections available. Burritos made them famous and are an awesome value, but have you tried the enchiladas, tostadas, tortas, or ensalada? Yes they have great tacos(soft, hard, rolled, traditional, even street!). Nachos, Carne Fries, Burritos Enchalada Style or Chimichanga Stlyle as well. Breakfast , check, lunch, got you covered, time to end the work day, you bet! Bring the NINIOS AND YOUR NANA and enjoy INDOOR DINING, the mist cool patio or order to go. Third party deliveries are available as well.
Great food without pretending to be fancy, just what is satisfying and pleasing. Just as it always has been.

I used to love it here, but the quality has gone down hill. This is my second visit in a row where all my tacos are broken . They used to serve the shrimp tacos with 2 tortillas due to the greasiness, and I guess in a way to cut costs they went down to one leading to greasy, broken tortillas. My crunchy taco was broken in half as well. We will be going elsewhere.

This time I had the breakfast combo burrito. It was delicious and properly prepared so that the eggs were still fluffy. Most overcook them. What, I've really enjoyed their barbacoa. The staff is polite and the kitchen is quick.

They have a good sized menu with very low cost but spectacular food. The breakfast burritos are amazing and much less expensive than places like Filiberto's. They have a fresh salsa bar and even deserts. All around a great choice for a quick pickup or dining in.

Amazingly good Mexican food. I got here shortly after 8am on a Friday morning. Most everyone was in rush-hour-get-your-breakfast-on-the-fly mode. I was the only one left in the dining room. I ordered 2 cheese enchiladas with eggs on top. The BEST enchiladas I have ever had. I come here for the BEST salsa, but now I will order cheese enchiladas. Yum!

So many choices for Phoenix - yet Ahwatukee. But this is truly the number one burrito fix spot for Ahwatukee. The burritos are filling with no hit and miss. If you dine in, burritos comes with a side of chips. The complimentary salsas - only makes it better. They offer a variety of Mexican food from tacos to enchiladas. They do have $.99 street tacos for Taco Tuesday. I really enjoy the heritage and culture this business brings to their restaurant. The staff is nice and very welcoming.

Big shout out to the girls working12/7/19 at close. It was raining and I had just met someone to sell something right before. When I pulled out my wallet the loose cash I had in my pocket fell out without me noticing. A little over $100. The girls immediately told me I dropped the money. So nice to see honest people. As I ate my dinner I noticed how genuine and amazing their customer service was to all the customers. Thank you and keep doing what you're doing.

OBC s Sonoran style food is consistently good. I ve had the egg and potato burrito, fish burro, street tacos, cheese enchiladas with red and green sauce, rice, beans, and red and green salsas. It is all delicious. #nom

I have to admit, I was a little put off when I ordered the green chilli pork burrito and my total was under 5 dollars and the lady behind the counter almost refused to allow me to use my debit card because it failed to meet the 5 dollar minimum. But she reluctantly said she would let it slide this time. But I must admit the burrito was pretty good, and the chips n salsa were acceptable.

I'm not sure how this place is getting high ratings. The food is sub par and nothing close to be Mexican food. Today was my first day ordering and it'll be the last. This food makes me sad. I hope there isn't a person of Hispanic descent making this food. Go down the next block to Los Taquitos. That's real Mexican food.

Checked out this place for some breakfast burritos this morning, and was not disappointed! They are all around $5 and are packed with a lot of goodness, wrapped in a soft and fresh tortilla. Service was really friendly, food came out quick. Green salsa is to die for.
UPDATE: I ve been back for lunch several times, and have to say the red & green chile burrito is one of the best burritos I have ever had. So delicious, filling, and definitely made with love. Fantastic price too.

I was there this morning and I noticed your salsa as well as your enchilada sauce is spicier than it used to be Which is OK it is caught me off guard is all perion my daughter and granddaughter had chorizo and said it tasted like cinnamon ..not a good taste.

Hands down the best burritos I've had. Ever. I've lived in Los Angeles and San Diego and never found a better place the this. My personal favorite is the #18 potato egg and cheese add chorizo. Amazing.

The food is crazy good for the price. If they served the food on real plates, it could be competition for the higher-end Mexican restaurants. But, then again, they don't serve alcohol. I especially love the beef enchilada with green sauce... I'm a light eater, so, one is enough for me, and it only costs $5.00.

Love this place, consistent, friendly, reasonable. My go to order California burrito, carnitas, no pico add guacamole and cheese. Ask for the green salsa. The carnitas is not fatty at all, nice and tender. You're min and out for under ten bucks. Can't beat that.

I love the burritos and I go here every week at least once. I order the same burrito every time and I have not eaten pork or beef in any form for over five years. I ve never had a problem until last week the cooks forgot my beans inside. It said beans inside on my receipt so I paid for them, but they were absent. No big deal, I let it slide. Today, I went in, ordered my usual burrito, and went home. When I took a bite I noticed it tasted funny but continued to chewed in order to figure out what the taste I was experiencing was. As I swallowed a bite of the food to further my investigation, I quickly realized that what I was eating was not a strangely cooked egg or some beans but in fact chorizo. So naturally, this establishment has lost my business after causing me to unknowingly break my dedicated dietary habits over a simple communication issue that should have never happened.
