Bay City Burrito is Melbourne’s first and only authentic Casual Dining Burrito restaurant. We were born out of the Mission District of San Francisco, the spiritual home of real burritos and California inspired Mexican dishes.We still believe the perfect burrito is more than just a choice of rice and beans. The perfect burrito must also have only fresh ingredients prepared on the day, grilled (not steamed) tortillas, and so many choices of traditionally prepared meats, seafood, Vegetables, Guacamole, Sauces, and fresh Salsas of different heats to make even the most skeptic person realize the burrito is the perfect comfort food.Beyond burritos, our menu has expanded and includes Tacos, Quesadillas, Nachos, and other authentic San Francisco styled Mexican food. To keep everyone happy at the same table, we offer Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten free selections. We are licensed and offer a changing selection of Margaritas, Sangrias, and Mexican beers.
