  • Size: 5
  • Taste: 6.5
Description:
Distribution was very bad, but the flavors were very good. First few bites were full of lettuce and crema so it was cold at the top. But, this is by far the best crema I've had.The meat had very good flavor and char but was in too large pieces and there was not enough of it. Rice was standard and good but a little dry. The cheese was very good. Since the distribution was off, there were some very different tasting bites. Some very good and some ok. With better distribution it could be much better.

Other Notes:

Burrito has lettuce. Comes with chips and salsa bar.

Description:
First bite was great. Nice tart salsa, very good rice. Medium size. Avocado slices instead of guacamole. Tortilla was not steamed. Carne asada was decent, but not charred and not super flavorful. Also not a lot of it. Since there was no guac, it lacked a little bit of juiciness, but the rice was not dry which helped.

Description:
Asada was charred nicely but lacking flavor. Rice was a bit dry and overcooked and underflavored. Spicy pico was not spicy at all and had chunks of other veggies that were too crunchy and didn't have enough flavor. Black refried beans were very good. Guac and crema were not good and didn't add juiciness to the burrito. Came with chips and a full salsa bar that was not great.

Other Notes:

Came with chips and salsa bar.

Description:
Asada was not grilled at all, not very flavorful. The burrito was falling apart on the third bite. I barely even remember any rice, and it wasn't good if there was any. Restaurant was very crowded with gringos. Can't say there was much good at all.
