What to check before placing an order

Diners in Nepean who are trying a build-your-own burrito concept for the first time generally do better when they take a few minutes to look over the menu before arriving or calling in, since the appeal of this kind of restaurant is largely in the customization. Checking the current offerings in advance shortens the ordering process, especially during busy midday and evening stretches.

Reviewing the menu ahead of time

Fat Bastard Burrito Co. is built around a made-to-order format, with proteins, fillings, and toppings combined into burritos, bowls, and other items such as empanadas and waffle fries. Because the combinations are flexible, first-time customers benefit from deciding roughly what they want before they get to the counter or before phoning in an order, rather than working it out on the spot.

Calling ahead for specific requests

Anyone with a particular combination in mind, a group order, or a question about a specific ingredient can call 613-422-1122 directly. This is also the most reliable way to confirm details that can change from day to day, such as which items are on the menu at a given time, since only information published by the restaurant itself should be relied on.

Comparing options before deciding

Because the format allows for many different combinations, it helps to think in terms of a base (burrito, bowl, or other format) plus fillings, rather than picking a fixed item off a short list. This is a different mindset than ordering from a restaurant with a small, fixed menu, and knowing that in advance makes the decision faster.

A quick-service option along Merivale Road

Fat Bastard Burrito Co. sits on Merivale Road, a busy commercial corridor in Nepean that mixes retail, offices, and other food service businesses, which makes it a practical stop for people already running errands or working in the area.

Fitting into a workday or errand run

Merivale Road sees steady traffic from nearby offices, retail plazas, and residential streets throughout the Nepean area, and a quick-service burrito format is well suited to that kind of stop: an order can be placed, prepared, and picked up without a long sit-down commitment. That makes it a realistic option for a workday lunch or a stop between other errands.

Adapting to the seasons

Ottawa-area winters push more customers toward warm, hearty options and toward orders placed by phone rather than lingering outside, while the milder months bring more walk-in and on-foot traffic along Merivale Road. A menu built around customizable, freshly prepared items can suit either pattern, since the format doesn't depend on a fixed seasonal menu.

Serving groups with different tastes

Because each order is built individually, a build-your-own format works reasonably well for groups with different preferences, including some who want a heavier option and others looking for something lighter, without everyone having to agree on a single dish.

What affects the size of the bill

The final cost of an order at Fat Bastard Burrito Co. depends mainly on the format chosen and how many extras are added, since the restaurant is built around a customizable, à la carte style menu rather than fixed set meals. No prices are published here, and none should be assumed; current pricing should be confirmed directly with the restaurant.

Base format versus add-ons

A simple burrito or bowl with standard fillings will typically cost less than one built up with extra proteins, additional toppings, or premium ingredients. Sides such as waffle fries or an empanada added to an order will also increase the total, so customers watching their budget can keep the base order simple and add extras selectively.

Ordering for one versus for a group

Group or family orders naturally scale with the number of items ordered, and mixing formats, some bowls, some burritos, some sides, is common in that setting. Calling ahead for a larger order can also help make sure everything is ready around the same time.

Payment on site

Various payment methods are accepted at the restaurant; customers who want specifics on what is available should confirm directly with staff at the time of ordering, since that detail is not published here.

Frequently asked questions

Is there anything to bring or prepare in advance?

No special documents or preparation are required to order at Fat Bastard Burrito Co. Customers who have a specific combination in mind may find it useful to have looked at the menu beforehand, but this is a convenience rather than a requirement.

When is a good time to visit?

Since this is a quick-service format, timing mostly comes down to personal convenience, a lunch break, an evening stop, or a pickup on the way past Merivale Road. Calling 613-422-1122 ahead of a visit is a straightforward way to check current availability before heading over.

Can someone order without knowing exactly what they want?

Yes. The menu is designed around choosing a base item and then adding fillings and toppings, so a customer can arrive with only a general idea and build the order at the counter with guidance from staff, rather than needing a fully decided order in advance.

How does a first order typically go?

A first order usually starts with picking a format, burrito, bowl, or another menu item, then selecting proteins, fillings, and toppings to build a personalized combination. Orders can be placed in person or by calling 613-422-1122, and the restaurant's website lists the menu for anyone who wants to review options beforehand.
