What People Are Saying About Phat Burrito

The Scene – This one-room place serves up huge, no-nonsense Southwestern-style favorites and nothing else. The lime, blue and yellow walls are the only decoration in an otherwise minimalist decor, and tablecloths are nonexistent. Orders are taken at the front counter, assembled just behind it at the grill, then placed onto a side counter. There's some picnic-style seating outside, but in colder months the crowd moves inside and the line can get backed up to the door. – – The Food – You can get tacos and tortas (sandwiches) here, but your best bet is to stick…

Disappointed
by CharlotteEats at Citysearch
I have lived in Charlotte for over 4 years & have always heard how great this place was. I decided to try it out finally. I believe I would have been better off going to Taco Bell. Seriously. I got chips & queso, and a chicken quesadilla. Wow. Absolutely no flavor to the chicken. The quesadilla was skimpy. The cheese was almost not there. The chips? Literally Tostitos. Someone went to the grocery store & bought Tostitos.The queso dip was cold & stiff. The sweet tea was good. Needless to say, I was very disappointed with PB, & to top it off, the quesadilla was over $6 by ityself. Maybe I went on a bad day, but wow what a waste of money.
- Pros: Cool Vibe
- Cons: No flavor, mediocre service at best, Chips, Overpriced

Good Food
by Appoaf at Citysearch
This place is the best in Charlotte. The salsa makes everything better, so go for it. The meats are good cuts, i can even eat the steak here, which i always steer clear of at mexican or chinese joints. The only two problems i've had are a couple sell-outs. 1. They went away from the tri-colored chips to the crappy round ones many years ago (or am i making this up? been too long)... 2. Last time i went the cups were wax paper, the worst insulator on the planet. No one wants a watered down drink after 5 minutes.. Nothing beats a nice cold drink in styrofoam to accompany my spicy food ! Maybe they just ran out and had to go to back up, but couldn't they have easily had styrofoam back ups??? ha.
- Pros: Simple menu, GREAT Salsa
- Cons: Chips & Drink Cups Sell-out! Will never touch Black Cat

can i get some service?
by hillzarealive at Citysearch
I got the fish taco, and it was great! However, I would hesitate to recommend this place because of the terrible service. It was 2pm when I went in so it wasn't crowded, yet the workers acted like I was an annoyance. They never smiled at me or seemed remotely polite. They just stared at me like "what do you want?" I asked for a couple chips with my meal and they were bothered again! It was so bizarre that I literally almost asked them if it was supposed to be one of those restaurants where servers are jerks on purpose, like a shtick or something...
- Pros: tasty tacos, cool outdoor area
- Cons: how rude!
