    This is one of those places if you want a hefty portion for a nice price this is it. I had both there burrito and the bowl. I preferred the bowl just because it kept everything intact and you dont have to worry about tortilla breaking. It is worth the money I had there steak with a fully loaded portion. See below for photos of the menu. For the review I would give it a 7.7 out of 10 on that 🔥 scale. The portions are amazing but I felt it was lacking on the flavor side. I say add some of there delicious sauces and your set. For future travel and food adventures follow my Instagram @officialgetfresh

    I would give 4.5 but they don’t allow it. Best bowls ever when it comes to Mexican compared to the options in Stuttgart. Just be careful some gust are very touchy and you could catch literally anything (see picture for the finger in the rear end), after alerting management they acted fast to disinfect everything he touched got to love the fisting☝🏾🍑…

    I love 🌯🇲🇽🌮🥑 any which way and this place left us with plenty for a snack later. ✔️STACKED bowls with steak ✔️fresh veggies ✔️flavor-packed ingredients {Chipotle sauce has a great saucy zing to it} ✔️homemade chocolate cheesecake ✔️quick & happy service 🅿️ nothing available out front so we had to search in the back lot.

    An unbelievable quality of food. Deliciousness that will have you driving from hours away to come try it. The steak quesadilla was incredible and there was a pink sauce that was 11/10 and I can't get enough of it. Need to go back asap!

    I'm into their shrimp tacos right now, but they are quite spicy to someone who really doesn't like things too spicy. I would be in heaven if they offered a milder version of the shrimp. It is always busy, but the line moves at a fair regular pace. Parking can be difficult during the prime times. Overall, I enjoy the food from Benji's and tend to stop by as I drive past it.

    Tried for the first time & hooked. Guacamole portion filled up the whole burrito. Good value & tasted super fresh. The owner really takes pride as you will see for yourself. Best Horchata I had since Arizona. Take my money🥑🌯!

    I really miss Tex-Mex queso from back home. Benji's had the best queso...it's not really a thing in Germany and it was nice to find somewhere that offered something more than literal melted cheese.... The food is good and the portions are big. If you have a bigger car, like me, park on the side street of the building.

    I got a bowl with their Carnitas meat. They had a wide variety of toppings/ add ins. It's absolutely delicious. My only complaint is we had to wait line because their so busy.

    Ate here ever week for the 4 years I was stationed in Germany!! I miss it everyday, way better then chipotle. They actually fill your bowls to the brim and it's the best quality food and ingredients!!! Can't wait to come back. Best of luck to you guys, you deserve it.

    Very good staff, very good rice bowl, delicious crusted cheese cake. Oh my the Shrimp Quesadillas is a habit for me.🙈 Don't worry if you don't eat seafood there is plenty of other others as well as vegetarian to make your belly happy. I can say that I have never walked out the doors still hungry. 🤷🏾

    Big fat burritos, but I love the tacos even more. Easier and less savage to eat, packed with more different flavors and options. Efficient and friendly staff that handles everything well even when it’s super busy.

    Fantastic take out! Choose your own fillings. I had the chicken burrito bowl with added guacamole. It was delicious! Highly recommended!

    I can’t believe I didn’t eat here sooner. This was the best burrito hands down I’ve had in Germany. Reminds me so much of the burritos I used to eat back in California. The pricing is fair as you get a lot of food, you won’t leave hungry. Everything was fresh and absolutely full of flavor! I’ll definitely be coming here more often, I can’t recommend this place enough.

    I recently had the pleasure of entering a large order of food from Benji's, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. Abbi's professionalism truly stood out as she efficiently handled my sizable order with a level of expertise that made the process smooth and stress-free. Her attention to detail and friendly demeanor made a significant impact, ensuring that my experience surpassed expectations. Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the food. The food at Benji's is nothing short of amazing. The flavors burst with authenticity, and the quality of ingredients is evident in every bite. From the savory meats to the vibrant vegetables each element comes together harmoniously to create a culinary delight. What truly made the experience memorable was witnessing everyone's satisfaction as they indulged in their burritos. The smiles and compliments flowed, and it was clear that Benji's had not only met but exceeded our collective expectations. In conclusion, Benji's Burrito, fueled by Abbi's professionalism, offers not just a meal but a culinary experience. The combination of exceptional service and mouthwatering flavors makes it a standout choice for anyone seeking delicious and satisfying Mexican cuisine. I wholeheartedly recommend Benji's to anyone craving a top-notch burrito experience.

    Great place to eat. The staff is always helpful and friendly. Parking is a little difficult but it's worth it if you have to walk a little. Everything is really fresh and worth the money.

  • 5/5 Angel M. 5 months ago on Google
    First time coming to this place. I really enjoyed the food and the different variety of toppings. I had the nachos with chicken and they were awesome! They ran out of steak but i want to try that next!

  • 5/5 Sarah R. F. 5 months ago on Google
    my favorite place to eat in K-Town; I’m happy they’ve moved this larger location, even though parking can get very complicated; friendly, competent, fast service, reasonable prices, delicious food, and drinks. You can eat in, or get to-go. I love the quesadilla, and the bowls (small, or large).

  • 4/5 Robert O. 6 months ago on Google
    Great burritos. I wish they had some vegan protein options other than beans, but it's pretty tasty. The sweet and Smoky sauce is delicious.

  • 4/5 Tag 2 years ago on Google
    A chicken bowl with white rice, black beans, fajitas, sour cream, their version of spicy corn , green salsa, lettuce and cheese is what i ordered. Definitely , a great food portion with leftovers at a reasonable price. The green salsa was not spicy but great taste. So try the next spicy salse if your looking for spicy. They were a little busy and only three people working , so line didn't move so fast. But I loved the fact that they took their time making my ordered and not just throw it all in a bag! So I'd say you can trust you will have everything you ordered! They take cards!!!! Parking on the street , front or even in the back! You need to be boosted and or negative COVID test to dine in. We didn't dine in so can't fully review on that , but we will be going back and will update !! P.s The burritos looked amazing and huge so that will be my next try!

  • 5/5 Lenny A. 6 months ago on Google
    They were great. One in our group does not like cilantro and they went totally out of their way to make sure there was no cilantro in their meal. They were great. Their food was great. Large portions. The only downside is there is not much parking. But that was absolutely the only downside. Loved it.

  • 5/5 Samantha W. 7 months ago on Google
    This is basically a locally owned “Chipotle” style restaurant that also serves margaritas, beer, horchata, and Mexican sodas. You can take out or dine in. There is rooftop seating when weather allows. Parking can be a challenge. There are 5 spaces in front and 3 behind the restsurant. There are another 4-5 street spaces on the side street. I recommend trying the grape salsa, pickled onions, and ellote (street corn) toppings.

  • 5/5 Chris C. 1 year ago on Google
    Saw this place on a foodie YouTube video and had to stop by. Boy I am glad I did. The decor is awesome. Like the overall vibe of the place is perfect. It’s clean, modern, colorful and everyone there was nice. They have a few specialty suggestions and then it’s on to build your own burrito, bowl, taco, quesadilla, etc… if you’re ever near vogelweh drive the five minutes longer to get here. Worth it for sure.

  • 5/5 Titus W. 8 months ago on Google
    Can be a bit of a wait but totally worth it. It is the closest thing to Chipotle over here. And try the grape salsa. It brings a whole other level to the dishes.

  • 5/5 tom d. 9 months ago on Google
    Wow! Absolutely amazing experience! The service was outstanding. The food was delicious, authentic Mexican 😋 I highly rate this place and recommend anyone that wants real Mexican food to come here. We will be back 😉

    Cool spot! Delicious burritos & yummy guacamole. Good portion sizes for sure. It’ll feed me for 2 meals. Margarita in a to go cup = yahoo!

  • 5/5 Timothy J. 9 months ago on Google
    I have been on a mission to find the best burrito bowl spot in town, and I have to say that Benji's Burrito has exceeded my expectations. This Mexican gem is truly a burrito lover's dream!

  • 5/5 Alexander Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Praise be, holy burrito, patron of delicious calories. Benji's is a clean place to get a fat burrito son. The staff are outstanding and there is no better place to get a good bang for your buck. (Picture reference: forearm sized steak burrito)

  • 4/5 Maria S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is usually a zoo! However, the food is on point and we love going here. They are always adding things to the menu and elevating their burrito game. The rice is really good, but if you come here for lunch get here as early as humanly possible. They have been expanding their place which is nice, considering it used to be impossible to eat in.

  • 5/5 A D. 9 months ago on Google
    This place has no business being in Germany. Imagine Chipotle but 1000% better! Amazing fresh ingredients, legit chips, fresh guacamole, and perfectly prepared meats. If you haven’t been… GO! What are you waiting for. If you want a giant full burrito hit up Benji’s. Service is always on point.

  • 5/5 Calin T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and a very child friendly atmosphere! They have multiple highchairs and a toddler play area with lots of toys. Such a great place to take your young kids to!

  • 5/5 Jane “Jen Jen” W. 10 months ago on Google
    We visited yesterday for our first time after waiting for months to check this place out. The staff were funny and very welcoming. Great options for ordering a burrito or a bowl. I got the chicken chipotle and queso bowl, side of chips and berry mojito. My husband ordered chicken burrito with almost everything lol. We were stuffed at the end. Definitely will be coming back for more.

  • 5/5 Tuhir S. 1 year ago on Google
    The "wrapologist" totally nailed my wrapping my chicken (double meat) burrito. So we'll that it didn't fall apart and become a plate. Kudos to you! As for the food it was very well seasoned and the chicken wasn't chewy. There is parking in the rear. Will be back again.

  • 4/5 Jacklee N. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been coming here since 2020 and I’m finally getting a chance to get a good review. Their food started off great but when down a little over the years. They did realize themselves and fixed the problem real quick. Sadly because of the economy, price did rise. Plus they stated limited the amount of toppings added into our meal. Their drinks are pretty good and miss them selling their desserts!

  • 5/5 G D. 1 year ago on Google
    Got myself a Summer Love. I did not get disappointed. I only ate half of the bowl. For the price you are paying, you sure get a huge portion, which is always nice. The food is legit. I can compare it with Qdoba, but better.

  • 5/5 Robert P. (. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place. What to say that hasn’t been said already, great food friendly staff and clean. The fire salsa is legit and had me sweating eating my burrito. $10 minimum on card

  • 5/5 Christian's E. 1 year ago on Google
    Love their burritos! I just wish they would open a second location. Lately they have been overflowing with customers and I feel like the quality is starting to slip. I don’t want to give them less than 5 stars though, cause I still love their food. I just hope they come up with a plan to open a second spot. Tip: Don’t park on the side street behind the restaurant because they will ticket you. Park on the main street.

  • 5/5 Reese F. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is the closest thing your going to get to an American restaurant in Germany. It’s amazing, the food is full of flavor and is not bland. The staff is very friendly and will answer your questions about the food. It is more on the pricey side but it’s worth it for the taste and the size of the burritos. I highly recommend coming here if you’re craving something different in the area .

  • 5/5 Will T. 2 years ago on Google
    Best burritos in the K-town area. Works just like a Chipotle back home, but tastes better. There’s decent parking and a lot of places to sit and eat. This is a great option for getting to go or eating at home. We eat here approx 1-2 times weekly. Great place!
