BYOB Build Your Own Burrito: Reviews & Ratings

After a rousing, fun-filled visit to Uranus Fudge Factory, we asked one of the staff where we could find a good place for lunch. We specified no a chain restaurant, but somewhere local. Her immediate, first answer was BYOB. Full Stop. Build Your Own Burrito? I think this was the easier lunch decision we've ever made. "Waze, navigate me to BYOB". Less than a ten minute drive later and there we were. First thing's first: You can't miss this place. It's painted bright teal and definitely stands out from its surroundings. BYOB isn't a fancy, sit-down, full-service affair. It's a place with probably a dozen tables set about the area. What is 100% unique about BYOB is the ordering method. There's no menu board. There's no tri-fold menu on the table. At BYOB there are holders with 3 different colored pieces of paper. Each one of those has the menu for that particular food item (Tacos, Burritos, or Bowls). There are also golf pencils. You fill out your order on your yellow, pink, or green order slip and present it at the register. I think this is SERIOUSLY cool. We asked the gentleman at the counter what he would recommend (our first visit and all) and he said they're known for their Wet Tacos. Just about anything with the word "taco" is an easy sell for me, so my wife and I got that. No need to peruse the menu slips for this. If the person behind the counter says "It's what we're known for", that's enough for us. Maybe ten minutes later our Wet Tacos arrived...and Holy. Hell. They were awesome. They were amazing. They were incredible. They were unbelievable. (I'm running out of adjectives). They were magnificent. (ok, I'll stop there). But seriously. There's a lot of magic going on there. I've eaten a lot of tacos in my time and these just raised the bar.....HIGH. The staff we encountered (all both of them) were awesome and you could tell they enjoyed working at BYOB. They were also quick to clear tables after visitors left, making sure the place was kept clean. I'm pretty bummed that this place is so far away from home and that we can't visit on a whim (it's about 2½ from Louisville) so we'll have to settle with infrequent stops when traveling up I-69. Regardless, BYOB is a place I would, 100%, visit with amazing frequency if I was able. OH...and the restroom doors are cutely decorated.

This place is absolutely amazing!! Who would have thought that a young local couple would have opened up such an awesome restaurant here in little old Anderson, Indiana! Everything I have eaten at BYOB so far has been top notch, ESPECIALLY their Birria Burgers, Wet Tacos, and Deep Fried CheeseCake Burritos! I recommend this place to everyone, all the time! Amanda & Shane are doing great things for this city! They recently opened up a bar called The Hole In The Wall thst is literally next door(& attached) to BYOB. It's an awesome place with a great atmosphere as well! Give them a try!

These tacos were OUT OF THIS WORLD!! As a big foodie, I can guarantee that this is the BEST taco place for price and fresh ingredients. Their signature wet tacos and design of the neon shop is novel and exciting. We're definitely going to get a group up soon! Check out BYOB if you haven't! Better than Condados or Bakersfield!

Always a great vibe, a bit overwhelming sometimes but understandable for a new business. I know finding employees have been a problem but I think they finally found a few good solid ppl. This place has a new bar next door that they have been working on to increase foot traffic and to try some new things in Anderson. They are some pretty cool owners if I say so myself! Definitely trying to create a new vibe downtown and getting some traffic down that way again. The food and service is starting to be consistent now that they have some ppl willing to work. Either way hats off to this young couple for trying! Honest review And side note you cannot and will not ever be able to make everyone happy.

This place is so cool! The vibe is perfect, and the music is great. I love the windows seats, they're perfect for a downtown lunch! Mo was so friendly and efficient, even while training a new person and being crazy busy with the lunch rush! I work nearby, and will definitely be back for lunch frequently!
