Columbus is full of surprises, but this one even caught me off guard.

Tucked inside a volleyball bar in Grandview — yes, really — is one of the best burrito spots you’ve never heard of.

It’s called Blackbird Burrito Co., and while the duckpin bowling, arcade games, and happy hour vibes at Woodlands Backyard are great and all… the food? Next level.

Think made-from-scratch burritos, loaded nachos, and Crunchwraps that make Taco Bell look like it’s playing for second place. And the best part? Everything is Build-Your-Own — from grilled chicken and pineapple habanero salsa to fries inside your burrito (Yes, I said fries. Yes, it’s a game-changer).

Whether you’re team Chipotle, team Taco Bell, or just team “feed me something delicious,” this is one hidden gem you’re going to want to know about.

A Spin-Off Worth Knowing About

If the name Blackbird rings a bell, it’s probably because you’ve devoured their food at Woodlands Tavern. Blackbird Kitchen has quietly been one of the best under-the-radar spots in the city for made-from-scratch deliciousness, and now their new concept is bringing that same made-from-scratch magic to a new space with a whole new menu.

The result? Burritos, Crunchwraps, nachos, and bowls that are my-mouth-is-watering-so-much-that-I-need-an-IV-to-rehydrate-myself  levels of good.

The Ordering Process = Easy Peasy Burrito Squeezy

No awkward counter interactions. No pressure to make your decision in 0.7 seconds while a line forms behind you. Just walk up to the touchscreen kiosk inside Woodlands Backyard, scroll through a menu full of dangerously delicious options, and build your masterpiece.

We’re talking grilled chicken, shrimp, perfectly seasoned rice, guac that tastes like it was made five minutes ago, pineapple habanero salsa, green chile queso… you name it.

Oh, and yes, you can put french fries in your burrito. And yes, they’re actually amazing. I’ve tried the whole “fries in a burrito” thing before, but Blackbird’s version just hits different. Crisp. Salty. Game changing.

But That Crunchwrap Though

Taco Bell may have invented the Crunchwrap, but Blackbird Burrito Co. perfected it.

And if the word Crunchwrap doesn’t mean anything to you, give me a paragraph to make you a believer.

It’s bigger. It’s better. It’s not soggy. It’s loaded with layers of fresh, flavor-packed ingredients like Mexican rice, lettuce, pico, and cheese, all hugged in a grilled tortilla with a crispy shell inside. It tastes like something you’d make in a dream where calories don’t count and good decisions taste like queso.

If you’ve ever found yourself at a bar after a volleyball match or a few intense rounds of duck bowling and thought, “I deserve a reward,” this Crunchwrap is that reward.

Don’t Let the Vibes Distract You From the Food

Woodlands Backyard is already such a fun, activity-filled spot that it would be easy to overlook the fact that there’s now an incredible burrito spot inside. Don’t make that mistake.

Come for duckpin bowling, stay for the burritos. Then stay longer because you physically can’t move after eating the Crunchwrap.
