Currito - Burritos Without Borders

I'm probably one of the few non-Xavier students that frequents Currito, and I have to say that the location and ease of getting in and out make it a regular lunch spot for me and my coworkers. Working in Norwood/Hyde Park, it's not too far of a drive and a great alternative to all of the Rookwood and Hyde Park Square lunch spots.

The group I go with usually opts for a mix of buffalo and Mediterranean. The buffalo is awesome if you like spicy food.

Parking is pretty easy if you're getting carry out--there are a few metered spots right across the street for visitors. If you want to stay longer, you risk a ticket from campus police--which really isn't a risk at all, especially during the summer or over other school breaks.

Also, be sure to like them on Facebook & follow on Twitter for free burrito giveaways--they happen more often than you may think!

Currito is a great addition to Xavier's dining options. But it's no Chipotle.

Firstly, Currito offers off-the-map burritos, or rather, all-over-the-map burritos. My personal favorite is the Mediterranean one, which includes hummus. Yep. Hummus. So maybe this isn't the best bet for your traditional burrito, Chipotle-esque experience. But aside from the ingredients, the meal shapes up pretty much the same: you have your burrito vs. bowl choice, variations on rice and beans, and the prices come in around the same.

Currito also carries some beer, and it's one of the few on-campus spots that does, so it can be a nice option for a beer with friends or colleagues. There are apparently pretty awesome milkshakes, but I can't speak to that. And a colleague has told me that the salads are excellent.

There's loads of indoor seating, and a very nice outdoor patio for fine weather. It's definitely a favorite spot on campus, and I will keep going back.

As a Xavier student, Currito is absolutely the best choice for eating on campus. The atmosphere is great: good food, friendly staff and great music always on the stereo. The food is fresh and has never let me down on my quests to cure hunger. The variety is endless but I always settle on a create your own burrito bowl with chips and guac. Only complaint is the high price (come on, we are in college!) but its good enough to bring out my wallet in the end.
