Burrito Beach
Inside U of I Hospital’s East Tower, Burrito Beach is a favorite for quick, affordable Mexican food, with generous portions, fresh bowls, chorizo burritos, and popular Baja queso and red chile queso. Students and hospital workers appreciate the fast pickup service, gluten-free-friendly options, and welcoming staff, though reviews are inconsistent—some report bland food, incorrect online orders, or rude service.

“Great place for some fresh Mexican food located inside the East Tower at the U of I Hospital. Fast service and can place orders in advance for pick up. Seating available inside.”
“This place rocks. Super fast service. They are on the ball. Excellent burritos. My wife accidentally ordered online at a different location and already paid. They said no worries, made her order, didn't have her pay again and said they'd sort it out with the other location. Very considerate!”
“Looking for quick bite, ordered the Chorizo Burrito chips & salsa under 10 bucks. Service was excellent as was the staff.”
“best and cheapest food on campus, always a hit, fast service, lots of options, really gluten free friendly”
“It's amazing! If you walk away still hungry, you did it wrong.”
“Efficient service, delicious food and good portions for their burritos. I would recommend the hot honey burrito over baja blast, unless you like a lot of cheese.”
