Reviews for Union Bar + Burrito in Riverside, RI
I visited the Union Burrito bar yesterday with a friend. We sat at a table which had QR codes specific to that table to place... your order. We both placed a food and drink order through the app. Our food came out with an adequate turn around time fromplacing the order. The drinks however, did not come. My friend ended up asking the bartender who explained to her that the to godrinks are on the restaurant side and not the bar side. If this is the case, the app should be MUCH clearer about this. Theburrito I ordered had steak, refried beans, yellow rice, lettuce, cheese, jalapenos and spicy ranch. The steak was tough and wasnot seasoned. In fact, there was one piece that I could not chew at all and had to discard. The rest of the burrito wasforgettable. The spicy ranch wasn't included in the burrito, it was given on the side. Now for the drink. Once the bartenderrealized that we had placed an order she made our drinks. I ordered the strawberry margarita. The app states this as "To-GoLarge Margarita" and costs $19.99. When you order it through the app, there is an added convenience fee of $2.00, the option totip, and taxes. All together I paid $27.59 for this drink. After some time, it comes to the table. The rim of the glass issugared, which I was not asked for a preference (I would have liked nothing). What is presented to me is an 8oz drink. When thebartender brought my friends drink to the table, I questioned the size versus price of the drink and was told that normally if Ihad ordered this drink at the bar it would have cost more than what I paid. I don't know what they are making these with, but Ifeel like that information should be disclosed for that price tag and the drink was pretty mediocre. Maybe my palette can'tdiscern whatever type of tequila they used but I still don't think it warranted the price tag. With all of that, I will likelynot return to Union Burrito or it's bar.

We came here for the Rhode Island food fights tacos and left with happy faces and a belly full. The tacos were phenomenal, my... mom got ground beef tacos and I got chicken. It was very flavorful and I like that we get to sit at the bar to eat them. Theguacamole is really good too, highly recommend you stop by. Read more
I go here all the time and don?t know why I have t left a review yet. Checked out the bar for the first time since it opened a... couple weeks ago. The cocktail selection is great, the bar itself is gorgeous, and the food, is my favorite in EastProvidence. Keep up the great work Ruarri and team! Read more
I used to enjoy ordering from here but the quality has plummeted. The past four or so orders have been wrong. I just picked up... an order and both burrito bowls were missing all the extras. My "bowl" was 90% lettuce. I won't order from here again. But ifyou do be sure to check your order before you leave to avoid disappointment I did get a refund but it doesn't excuse itconstantly happening Read more
A ton of options. Soups. Drinks. Margaritas. Beer. Empanadas etc Staff was friendly. Restrooms were clean. There are only a few... seats available inside so it seems like mostly a to-go spot. I don?t know how anyone could say they don?t like it here becauseit?s like assembly-line-style so you pick everything you want on it yourself. I just got a single taco but it was good. I wouldcome back. It?s right off the side of the bike path which is nice Read more
Came to visit Union Burrito using my RI Food Fights Taco Passport. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. When we... arrived, it was about 25 minutes before close and most of the available items were being put away but they were kind enough tostill make my tacos. I asked for 1 chicken and 1 beef but received 2 beef. The meat with onion and cilantro had nice flavor init's simplicity and has been one of the better tacos I've had so far using the passport; however, I wish I was also able to tryto chicken. Parking was easy at night but I could see it being an issue during the day. I love their creative logo! Read more
The first taco I ordered was pure greatness. I decided to buy one again a few weeks later and it wasn?t the same. Third time... ordering giving it another chance....looooord it had my stomach betraying me! Read more
Came here as part of the Taco Mania! experience. It?s a cute spot and maybe service is better at the bar and take out which... seems to be most of their business. Service for dine-in was terrible. It took 37 minutes to get our food! We ordered chickennachos and got ground beef. It was mostly dry chips with only a few in the middle having some cheese and a little pocket ofmeat. We ordered a cheese quesadilla (which is advertised as just having a melted blend of cheese) + chicken and insteadreceived their quesadilla which included lots of other ingredients inside. Asked for 2 chicken tacos and 2 beef. Only receivedone of each. Asked for a water and instead received a water with lemon (another person at our table had previously asked forwater with lemon and received just that so maybe she thought it was for that person but still inaccurate). Very disappointingexperience. Read more
