Outdoor restaurant patio with multiple umbrellas and metal chairs in Acadia National Park.

The Boss Hog Burrito is a heavyweight. Tender chipotle-pork, black beans, and cabbage slaw collide with crunch in every bite. Chipotle creme coats the mix with heat and a touch of brine from the cheese, and portions push past the halfway mark. If you’re chasing bold flavors and a loud, punk-rock lunch, this is the move.

Review Summary: Boss Hog Burrito delivers tender, smoky pulled pork with bold seasoning and a large, satisfying filling. Yam I Am Burrito offers a flavorful vegetarian option built around roasted spicy sweet potato, black beans, rice, pico de gallo, avocado, and chipotle crème—juicy and hearty. Skank'in Pickle Wrap is praised for bright, tangy flavors. The spot runs counter service with quick takeout, and the lively, music-forward atmosphere draws both tourists and local university students.
