What People Are Saying About Bimbo's Bitchin Burrito
Featured Review

The Scene – The Mardi Gras-on-acid decor (loud music, glitter, Day-Glo and kitsch) seems an appropriate setting fort the hipster Capitol Hill clientele. During the day, the crowd is a mix of wayward youth, curious students and the occasional employee on break. At night, the Cha Cha Lounge next-door comes alive with some seriously loud music--and equally loud drinkers looking for solid food. – – The Food – The menu is a fairly standard--burritos, tacos, quesadillas--with a few quirks thrown in for good measure. To put a new spin on the traditional, try a dollop of the…
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- If your spice tolerance is low, ask them to go light on the jalapenos; if you like the heat, try the Inferno Burrito.
- Where to Sit:
- Seating is scarce. Eating in? Grab a table before ordering--counter seats are too cramped for comfort.
- The Extras:
- Wash it down afterward with a drink from the Cha Cha Lounge.

SPLIT SOMETHING
by alisonkramer at Citysearch
These burritos are HUGE. Honestly, the size of my mid torso. They generally serve then "wet" - which is good, but makes them exceptionally rich. We came here before prom, and it was awesome. Fun, boisterous vibe with great Mexican and good service.

Bitchin' indeed!
by honorrosie at Citysearch
While on a cross country burrito tour I ate A LOT of bean burritos. (Beans and a car trip, lethal?Perhaps...) I HIGHLY recommend Bimbos Bitchin' Burrito Kitchen. The burritos were huge (could probably get two meals out of them) and very tasty!

just ok

cute interior draws you in, but the food is too bland... i added salt to my burrito! when does that happen? maybe the nachos are good. but if you want an even cuter environment with awesome food, go to mama's downtown. the healthy side of the menu is a draw, and it's location is good, but mexican food should be way way more flavorful.
- Pros: location, decor, simple, creative menu
- Cons: bland, bland, bland

Worst Mexican food I've ever had!
by hwambam at Citysearch
Being from the Bay Area, I've had truly "bitchin'" Mexican food--and Bimbo's has to be the complete antithesis. Totally Americanized and bland--from the tasteless white rice to the garlic rotisserie chicken burrito (blasphemy)!! I really wanted to like it, too, with the kitschy decor and great ambience...but the food was absolutely terrible. I think the only safe bet would be a quesadilla, and only at 2am, and only if you're really, really wasted.
- Pros: Decor
- Cons: Everything else

Chicken Nachos
by foodieg at Citysearch
Get the chicken nachos. Cheap, delicious, and enough for two. Rest of the menu is so so.
- Pros: chicken nachos, location
