What People Are Saying About Baja Betty's Burritos

Featured Review

The Scene – Baja Betty's operates in a sea of color (bold murals, bright yellow walls, multi-colored floor). Fresh Cal-Mex options include enchiladas, chalupas and chile relleno platters. The house specialty burritos are meals in themselves, and fillings include chile Colorado (lean pork in spicy guajillo sauce), barbacoa (slow-cooked shredded beef) and chicken in red mole sauce. Creamy ice cream provides a cooling dessert option.

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
For dessert, be sure to try Christina's Homemade Ice Cream, the perfect ending.
Know Before You Go:
Those not in favor of sour cream can substitute non-fat plain yogurt instead.

Not the Best Burrito Going

by bostonwebmarketing at Citysearch

I wanted a new burrito place to go to in Brookline Village but I guess I will have to wait till Olecito opens down the street. The burrito was over priced at $8, and this wasn't even the biggest burrito on the menu. The chicken and beef brisket had no flavor and you have to add your own hot sauces which was no where even close to HOT. The burrito was huge but that did not make up for the fact that the rice was hard and under cooked. I might go back here but the $4 tacos will not be ordered. Baja's has a lot of work to do moving forward and I wish then the best.

  • Pros: nice service
  • Cons: no taste, terrible hot sauce

Terrible

by mmpie at Citysearch

This place is awful don't go there. The burritos are way overpriced. They are poorly wrapped and they basically taste like rice-shaped salt. I say rice shaped because there is so little meat or salsa that you can't even see or taste it. Do yourself a solid and go to Anna's up the street in Coolidge Corner instead.

  • Pros: quick service
  • Cons: terrible food

Pretty good but not great.

by kentuk at Citysearch

I love Mexican food which makes me quite critical of places such as this. I enjoyed the food I had but I wasn't amazed. If I am hungry in Brookline Village I would certainly consider Baja Betty's but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. Given the price, this is your best bet at a decent ,cheap meal in Brookline Village.

Dirty Place Food made us sick

by bettyisdirty at Citysearch

Don't eat here!!!! Gave me and 2 others food pois oning in one night. Place is filthy and use ingrediants that have been sitting in the open for hours. Employees don't wash hands or wear gloves after handling cash. Overpriced. Owner is arrogant.

You are better off eating at Taco Bell
