Dont get it at all ! The food lacks flavour, nice surroundings and lovely staff butthe food is bland

Great fresh tasty food. Lovely friendly staff and super quick service.
My only problem with Boojum is that it’s far too close to my new office, my will power is failing. Hard.

After everyone on facebook raving on about this place I decided to go with a friend… Its easy enough to order etc but i thought the ingredients clashed and where overall bland and sickening (veggie) my friend got a beef buritto to which she experienced food poisoning from (vom fest that night wasnt good!)
So very disappointing I wont be back as its overpriced for just some rice and a wrap! (invest in ur own kit £2 tesco and far nicer!)

Great idea! Nice and quick service and you know what your in for! Have yet to finish one….but i’ll keep trying!

All my friends absolutely love this place so it must be tasty. I liked it at the start but the noveltys worn off now and cant see myself ever going back as there are much better places for me in the same area. The rice is full of gross coriander and I always feel a bit sick after eating here.

Possibly a bit expensive but the loyalty scheme is good. Great food and very fresh.
Too close to my work though, I could eat there every day!

The best cheap food in Belfast. Staff are always friendly and the place is always clean. Always my first choice when looking for something quick and easy.

Have eaten a few times in / from Boojum. It’s great to be able to get a healthy takeaway that can survive the journey home and still taste good, and they seem to have identified a niche for that.
Boojum is also popular with my teenage daughter. She can be a bit fussy, so it is good for her to be able to customise her wrap to her liking, and opt out of salsa etc. The production line approach is quick and no nonsense, and the staff are friendly enough - the girl at the till offered to label our orders so we could distinguish them when we got home.
Four stars are awarded for taste, speed of service & quality - holding back one star purely on value, as I think they are slightly over priced - particularly when a blob of guacamole is charged extra.

Excellent food - though sometimes a bit TOO packed! I’d like to see the menu refreshed and some more comfortable seats that don’t squeal so much.
05/11/10
After all the hype I thought it would be amazing, but it’s just like a canteen!! Food is average at best.
02/11/10
Fast, friendly service even though they were queued out the door! Thank you!!

My favourite fast-food in Belfast. Okay, so it doesn’t have the gnarly depth of true Mission-style burritos, but be glad for that: SF burrito-rice is 30% margarine, as far I could tell… Boojum serves much healthier fare, full of authentic flavour nonetheless — salsas and guacamole are the real deal. Just being around that many avocados makes me feel happy.
P.S. Okay, here’s the lowdown on tacos. No Mexican would ever eat a curvy, crispy taco, okay? That’s just an extremely popular invention of middle america. Not judging, just saying. Soft tacos are where it’s at, though I wish Boojum had soft corn tacos, which are the actual, standard taco of Mission taquerias.
Okay, I’m done now.

This place gets a lot of buzz.
Would recommend it for a fast five pound feed but it is a bit overrated. I mean they do nice burritos, and it’s the best fast food option about that area, but it is only a burrito, and not something you couldn’t make just as well or better at home.
Can’t fault it really but don’t see why people make such a fuss.

Every Friday is a Boojum Friday! Always good to see alternative lunch options away from bread too
12/07/10
Over rated, poor service, and miserable staff. Have no idea why it gets such a good review.
28/06/10
Awesome food! Disappointed that they cant toast the burritos anymore, so i just get a burrito bowl. The staff could stand to be a bit nicer but customer service is lost on some people.
19/06/10
Really good food, but it does feel like a canteen and gets seriously crowded and loud. For takeaway I would definitely recommend, but unless you’re looking for a VERY casual meal with a few mates, I wouldn’t advise sitting in.
02/06/10
Blown away by a shredded beef fajita burrito. I want more….
Will be recommending this place, good value for money, fresh food which tastes awesome. Has to be a 5 star
12/05/10
Love Boojum. Food is fantastic and is always filling for a fiver. Staff are really friendly.
Only (slight) complaint is the atmosphere for sitting in is a bit dark and cramped. Would be nice to be able to sit towards the front of the building without a queue of people standing over you.

Love boojum, always so fresh and tasty, really nice to see it doing so well, it deserves it.
15/04/10
Very tasty. Makes a nice change to a kebab or chinese takeaway. Only reason not awarding 5 stars is due to the wait.
28/02/10
Nice food… Though lacking in a few items (like quesadillas and proper mexican rice) -1 for that..
But do recommend it…
16/02/10
Amazing place and food is awesome, a must see.
Would agree that a meal dael would make it even better.

Having lived in Austin, Texas, before moving to Belfast, I became addicted to Tex-Mex and Mexican food. I started going through withdrawals once I moved here, until Boojum opened! Now I practically live in the place. The food is delicious and fresh, and all the food is made to order. The margaritas are also the best I’ve had in Belfast (aside from my own, that is;) ). The staff are warm, friendly, and helpful.
There are only three things which would make me happier: a second Boojum location, more dining space in the first location (second floor???), and Negra Modelo beer (far, far better than Corona or Sol).
13/02/10
Gorgeous as always. If you haven’t tried it you must. Chicken fajita burrito FTW.
Wish it was open on Sundays too
27/01/10
The most scrummable awesomely face-filling tastyness food… I covet their burritos…
30/12/09
Tried Boojum for the first time the other night- with high expectations having read all its reviews. It didn’t disappoint.
Great burrito, friendly staff and very reasonable price. Will definitely be back.
20/12/09
The best tortilla chips and guacamole in town, I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad meal there. Cheap, delicious and massive portions! Thumbs up.
19/12/09
I can honestly say i am one of Boojums best customers. I have actually spent nearly a thousand pound in this establishment. Its tasty and reliable food. Ive never been unhappy with a fajita burrito. Seriously if you havent been to this place all i can say is GO.
01/12/09
Seriously! Believe the hype, this place rocks. Super tasty, amazing value, the Salsa Verde is incredible and they serve Corona beer.
This is how fast food should be. Fresh, quick and fabulous.
29/11/09
Really Amazing food at a reasonable price! Fajita burritos are unreal! Free drink refills and using the boojum loyalty card with every 10 boojums you get one free! Staff are so friendly! You will get addicted and become a Boojum fanatic though :)
19/11/09
One of my favourite places to eat in Belfast, love the fajita burritos :-) Really friendly staff, with a nice clean environment. I even got a free burrito once, as they sometimes do special offers! :-)
19/11/09
Simple menu of mexican food. Efficiently made (just as well, due to the frequent queues out the door) by friendly staff.
Nice layout of seating for those sitting in. Selection of beers & now cider.
Fair price for a real quality meal that will leave you satisfied and thinking of excuses to go back!
11/11/09
Boojum grub is simply amazing. Staff are quick, efficient and friendly - variety is good; different range of spice levels etc. Too to cater for chili demons and chili wusses alike.
My only gripe is that they serve beer but not cider - I’d like to have a bevvy with my mates but can’t drink beer, despite many attempts.. It’d be perfect if they started serving up the Aspall’s. Well, I’d settle for Bulmers.
09/11/09
Simple fresh mexican food that will have you coming back for more.
Have to admit I’ve become slightly addicted.
09/11/09
Amazing burritos. Chicken fajita burrito everytime, just under £5. Can’t describe how amazing they are, you have to try it out for yourself. Staff are nice and friendly and any time I’ve been in there isn’t much waiting around, they’re quick to prepare your food.
Also discovered the other day that it’s a lot bigger than it looks inside with seating up round the back too.
23/10/09
Lovely atmosphere and great food, clean and quick service. Fresh, quality, etc. Open late some nights too! Check it out.
11/09/09
My missus is addicted to Boojum and therefore so am I. Great wee place, and consistently good also from someone who’s eaten there since it opened.
09/09/09
Ate here for the first time last night and had the best burrito ever. We arrived at 9 but they let us order and sit in even tough it was supposed to close at 9. Great food & service, I’m thinking taco today!
20/08/09
Wow, this place is amazing. The food is fresh and gorgeous and despite the queue being out the door most lunchtimes, it moves really quickly. I would recommend the shredded beef burrito. The chilli bowl is absolutely gorgeous too. Would agree with the comments that it should include a drink from the machine for the price.
15/04/09
Great stuff…tasty, clean, friendly - only reason it’s not 5 stars is because it should include a soft drink from the machine for the £5… (they’d probably make more money if they did)
10/04/09
MMMM went here because it got a good review on Lookaly.
And yep it was very tasty indeed. Well done Lookaly for finding a yum place to go that isn’t too expensive.
Beware though only get the hot sauce if you think you can handle it. I did and it was hot- but nothing a choc ice couldn’t fix on the way home hehe
27/02/09
Friendly staff, fantastic food and most of all it’s something different. 5/5
26/02/09
I think Boojum might be on the cards for lunch tomorrow. You need to pay the extra 50p or whatever for the guacamole, if you haven’t tried it you must.
24/02/09
A small place for sit in or take-away. Very quick service with fresh ingredients and lots of flavour. If you are unsure what salsa you might want, just ask for a sample first - the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Usually a busy queue at lunch time, which is never a bad sign unless your in a real hurry, but it does go down quickly!
10/02/09
This place is were the old temps take away use to be. Just wanted to say that this place is amazing really simple mexican food, no fuss just really really nice :-)
