5.0 of 5 stars. When you first see the outside of Phat Burrito, you immediately think of a hippie burrito joint you might see if you're in Santa Cruz or Berkeley. You know you're not in for a traditional Mexican...

Yummy Burritos by Melissa C. at InsiderPages

I have a special place in my heart for Phat Burrito - it was here before Chipotle, Qdoba and Salasarita's took over town. The burritos are large and delicious - the chicken has fantastic flavor. The brownies...

Hole in the wall atmosphere, but great burritos!

This is one of Charlotte's legendary 'hole in the wall' restaurants. The burritos are some of the best. Take mints for afterwards :)

Meh. OK, but nothing great.

I really don't know what to write about this place. It's OK, certainly not bad, but nothing amazing either. It's a very middle of the road burrito. For Charlotte, I suppose it's quite good, but Charlotte has...

Killer Burritos

BBQ Chicken burrito or quesadilla is the ONLY way to go. Great food. VERY fresh. Cheap, & you even get to listen to reggae music while you eat. Portions will leave you in "nap mode".

3.0 of 5 stars. The beef burrito was okay. The portion was great (really big). I didn't really like the beef, it's more of the braised cheaper beef. I would go back; but, I think I will try something else.
