    Very delicious food that has great flavour. We came here twice and tried their burrito and quesadilla. The quesadilla is good but pretty messy, so we preferred their burrito. It's packed with delicious veggies and rice and a meat if you like. Their spicy sauce had a great kick to it. The people working here were friendly.

    AMAZING RESTAURANT IN KIGALI! Reminds me of Chipotle back in the States. Such high quality food and taste at a amazing price. The average meal is only around $6 for a fantastic burrito. The view is also great from their upstairs area. Will definitely be back!

    This was the perfect place to grab some TxMex on our last day. The food was fresh and hot! The portion size was bigger than I expected.

    Take a drip down memory lane of how Rwanda emerged from the ruins to top among best city in Africa and around the world.

    It’s ridiculous Mexican food can be so good in east/central Africa. Plus they know how to do spicy. Definitely worth visiting weekly if you are staying for long and grow weary of traditional African buffet.

    I usually ask for a delivery from here via the Vubavuba or Rush Foods apps, but I recommend visiting as well. When you order food, they immediately make it according to your personal choices like Subway. It tastes great. If you like chips, you may prefer to choose a salad bowl like the first picture instead of a burrito bowl due to the chip dish!

    Great burrito bar. The owner is very nice and it was a great atmosphere. The food is very good and they give a lot of food for the price.

  • 5/5 Whitni B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful atmosphere and views and delicious food. We had burritos and a bowl as well as fresh guacamole and pico de gallo. It hit the spot! We ate upstairs and watched the traffic go by. As a western traveler who eats Tex Mex with some frequency in the States, having something so fresh was perfect. And, we ate all the vegetables as served. Like other reviews have mentioned as well, we had no stomach problems afterwards, another great plus after eating all the delicious veggies and great food. We put this on our list of "must visit" again for our next trip!

  • 3/5 Rosemary T. 9 months ago on Google
    Native Texan here. The burritoes are okay. The meat needs more flavor (i.e. goya seasoning). I think with a little bit of original Mexican seasoning this place would be fire. Great service and reasonable prices.

    Had a rice bowl here it was on point. The palace is a lil small but still alive and you get to see the real Kigali here not in 5 starts hotel. The waiters were fast and very helpful. And lucky all waiters here know English well so there was no language barrier.

    Who needs Chipotle when you have Meze Fresh? I tried the tacos last night, with a side of chips to scoop up the spills :) Such a fast, delicious and filling meal. I’ll definitely be returning!

    The food is delicious and you get a lot of it. I never left feeling hungry but never struggled to finish my burrito just because of how good it was. On top of that, the staff is friendly and the service is quick.

    My husband had the burrito and really liked it. I had the salad bowl and there was not much lettuce and the sour cream was heavy on the sour. But a really good crowd so you're sure to enjoy.

    This restaurant is so refreshing. I didn't know here they served Mexican food. Walked in seen burritos smoothies and was not expecting it at all. I appreciated how much variety they had. I went with the bowl and basically asked for everything. The staff was very friendly and assisted with options recommending certain choices. The pork tasted very good mixed that with all the veggies added guac and wooooaahh. When they say there spicy sauce is spicy yes it is just to let you know. They accept both cash and card. For the review I would give it a 7.6 out of 10 on that 🔥 scale. The flavors were all there and seasonings on point. Even the smoothie tasted very fresh. My biggest thing I wish they could change is how hot it was in there. Maybe it was me just be weary of that. For future travel and food adventures follow my Instagram @officialgetfresh

    ILOVE their burritos, better than i have had anywhere in Europe... I recommend the pulled-pork ones. Great variety of toppings to " design your own burrito"

    A beautiful place to chat with a friend or solo vibes. I like their Quesadilla so yummy and the view, at night specially

  • 5/5 JP U. 1 year ago on Google
    I have ordered twice from here using Vuba Vuba & have enjoyed it both times. The burrito bowls are a good, healthy option & taste great. Would recommend.

  • 3/5 marie k. 2 years ago on Google
    Fast and tasty. In the past I would have given this a 5 star but lately the prices are a bit high. Although we do have to take into account the rate of inflation, the most charming aspect of this place was that it was accessible price-wise to a large portion of the professionals in Kigali. It’s becoming less and less so. Other than that, still a fan. Just not a regular anymore.

  • 1/5 Mohammad K. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm always a big fan of this place, but last 3 times on different dates I get stomach issues, last one we were 3 and all of us got kind of food poison and stayed at home the following day, I hope the management will take their cleaning washing veggies and taking higene practices to high levels!

  • 4/5 Maxwell T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place, good customer care. But the menu could be diversified once in a while . Which would be great.

  • 3/5 Pauline S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food (I love guacamole) , lovely people. The artfully loo doors were a lovely extra surprise.

  • 4/5 Olawale S. 1 year ago on Google
    I had lunch here on a quiet and beautiful Sunday afternoon. I didn't have to stay on a queue, probably because it was a Sunday, and the staff were welcoming. Customer Experience: very lovely staff members, courteous and warm Location: the business is located in a strategic environment for ease of location. You can eat here and have a good view of a part of the city. Price: affordable Food: Good good

    Meze fresh is one of the international restaurants that are found in the heart of Africa. Kigali! At this restaurant, you can order anything including vegetarian recipes. They are located near the Kigali convention center and Kigali Heights.

  • 4/5 Sanz Grifrio L. 1 year ago on Google
    Good restaurant, they serve burritos, nachos, and others. Located in the city center.

  • 5/5 Marvin K. 3 years ago on Google
    They may just be the closest thing to an authentic Mexican restaurant in Kigali! I would recommend the chicken quesadillas with a side of guacamole and a cold beer to accompany it. You won't be disappointed

  • 5/5 Justice J. 1 year ago on Google
    The restrooms are sketch but everything else is on point ESPECIALLY the customer service. Chips fresh. Airy. Not greasy. Mix a bit of their hot sauce with the pico for good TexMex style salsa Guacamole ain't missing much. Had the "BOGO" quesadilla but it wasn't BOGO .. actually just a discount on medium quesadillas. Beers and Pop ain't ice box cold just chilled. Bar stool and high tables met our need to watch soccer while dining. Select what you want as you go down the bar then they prepare those items in the back for the quesadilla. Tacos assembled in front of you. No rice or beans come with quesadilla. I paid 2,500 more to get them. I didn't notice seasoning so I opted not to eat any. Decent taco/burrito bar. More tex mex style than Mexican (sans cilantro). Everyone working understands my English and sincerely worked hard to provide a good time. Quesadilla was tasty.

  • 5/5 Arun S. 1 year ago on Google
    Quick meals on a budget. Burrito, Quesadillas, Nachos. Ask for no/less sugar in your juices or it'll be a flavoured sugar syrup when you get it.

    Meze Fresh is an absolute gem of a gourmet burrito place! Their menu boasts a delightful array of delicious items that are sure to satisfy any palate. What sets Meze Fresh apart is not just the mouthwatering flavors but also the incredible warmth and care they put into their food. During a challenging time when I was recovering from COVID-19, Meze Fresh became a beacon of comfort and nourishment. Their carefully crafted burritos, filled with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor, provided me with the sustenance and joy I needed to regain my strength. The staff at Meze Fresh are exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring that every visit is a delightful experience. Their dedication to quality and customer satisfaction is truly commendable. If you're in search of a gourmet burrito place that not only tantalizes your taste buds but also lifts your spirits, Meze Fresh is the place to go. I can't recommend it highly enough!

    Let’s be clear, the last thing I expected to find in Rwanda was a Burrito! Cool spot with a nice open air upstairs. Try their mango salsa, it’s a nice touch. Generally really enjoyed my meal! Definitely going to go back again.

  • 5/5 Devin J. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve ordered delivery (tacos) from this place 3 times and every time it’s been amazing. The quality and freshness of the food is excellent (I was really surprised to find such great Tex-Mex cuisine in Rwanda). I really love that they can make it properly spicy if requested. If you happen to be a long time American expat/traveler who misses this kind of food, this is your place. Delivery was quick and super easy (probably best to order directly from the restaurant instead of relying on local delivery apps). If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

    Best Burrito I ever had. Well i don’t often eat burritos but definitely better than few places i had back in time when i was in Korea. Look at the size of it. It made 100kg man full.

👍👍 Amazing! Absolutely delicious genuine local cuisine, everything we ordered was pure bliss. We were a huge group, and everybody left absolutely full and satisfied. Waiting was very long though, could be an hour for our group - we had maybe 16 bowls of food, various dishes. Starters came out after 45...
