Painted Burro Brookline

"Went here for bottomless brunch…absolutely delicious at a price you can’t beat. Service is friendly and quick, while the ambiance is pretty uncrowded and relaxing. I would highly recommend the French Toast, Molettes, and Chicken + Waffles. Plates are small which adds to the fun of unlimited ordering. Makes for a great morning!"

"Second time there and probably our last. We made a reservation + came at 10 AM so there were only approx 5 tables total. Half of our food never came out and the ones that did took forever or were delivered to the wrong table. We noticed a steady stream of servers bringing plates to other tables, but not ours. We flagged our server and they retook our order but, again, items were missing. We were tired of waiting so we paid and left in less than 1 hour into our 90-min meal. This is very disappointing as our first time there was great. Even though it was PACKED, the service and food were great so I recommended it to everyone. Now I'm embarrassed I ever endorsed them. To add insult to injury, the tipping options started at 20+% (23 / 25 / 28 I believe) even after adding a mandatory 5% kitchen fee to the bill. Please do not normalize taxing and tipping customers 28%. That is exorbitant. A suggestion I have for the restaurant is to please fix your portion sizes so they are consistent and can minimize food waste. The tacos, chilaquiles, torta, and french toast were all similarly sized (tapas / small plates) but other items, like waffles and brussel sprouts, were not."

"It's a lovely restaurant with lots of interesting Mexican decorative flair. The service was excellent, no complaints there. We went on a cool summer night, and the AC was blasting. It was far too cold, and I heard the same from other customers. I know I should have spoken up, but I didn't. The portions are incredibly generous. The kale salad appetizer could have easily been a meal on its own. It was really nice, but it had far too much cheese on it. It would have been great if it had about 60% less cheese. The blackened salmon taco was excellent, as were the chips and salsa. I'd recommend the brussel sprouts as well, which were cooked perfectly. An overall excellent value."

"We met up with some friends and each had the Saturday brunch. We are not leaving Burro Bar hungry. There were a wide range of options to choose from. My images will show each dish. I can highly recommend Burro Bar if you want tasty Spanish food."

"Excellent Mexican restaurant in the heart of Washington Square in Brookline. Very cool decor and vibe inside with a beautiful bar and large windows up front letting in lots of natural light. Our server was great - attentive, nice, knowledgeable of the menu and drinks. Our drinks were awesome (got margaritas of course) and the food was truly amazing. Loaded with flavors and decent portions (it is expensive for tacos - upwards of $7 a piece). We found 3 tacos each and an app to be plenty of food for us. Overall a really great spot and one I’ll be back to again soon, I’m sure!"
