From What’s Good at Trader Joe’s 2025
“Again, their other burritos haven’t been awful, just…not memorable. Unfortunately, this burrito will fall into that category for us, as well. Sonia says Trader Joe’s Beef, Bean & Cheese Burrito is basically what you’d get if you’d open a can of Hormel Chili and stick it inside a flour tortilla. I don’t disagree, though I will assert that it tastes just a shade better than that.
Visually, it’s unappealing. It’s just a lumpy brown mush on the inside. There are very few discernible veggie chunks and what little cheese is in there gets lost in the sauce. Portions of the tortilla came out nice and crispy from the oven, but other sections were a tad leathery and hard to cut with a fork.
The spice blend is pleasant. There is a nice beefy flavor with notes of cumin, onion, and chipotle. There are plenty of pristine pinto beans with a nice taste and texture.
Still, there’s nothing that would make me ever want to reach for this product again when you consider all the other myriad burritos at your fingertips. At least with a Burrito Supreme from Taco Bell, you’re getting everything you get here plus fresh tomato chunks, lettuce, sour cream, and hot sauce.
$4.49 for the single serving burrito. Wouldn’t buy this one again.”
