Description:
Large burrito. Overall it tastes not terrible. But nothing about it is good. The rice is white and bad (but the cilantro in it is good). The steak is flavorless and very tough and not much of it. The beans were undercooked and hard with no flavor. The salsa/pico are pretty good. Lettuce is old and wilty, shredded cheese was ok. Tortilla was cold and poorly wrapped. Foil didn't even cover the burrito...

  • Order: Super Burrito - $7.75
  • Meat: Carne Asada - 8
  • Beans: Pinto - 6
  • Rice: 6
  • Guacamole: Avocado - 7
  • Crema: 7
  • Salsa: No
  • Tortilla: 7
  • Cheese: 8
  • Size: 10
  • Taste: 7.5
Description:
Very large burrito but comes at the cost of very long lines. Burrito is a bit too much rice, but overall the proportions aren't too bad. Good amount of crema but only a little avo (and I prefer guac anyways). Didn't see if they have retried beans and forgot to ask. The asada had a great char and smoky flavor, very good and there was enough of it. Rice was fine. Beyond the meat, everything else was just pretty good. Definitely great value with the size.

Other Notes:

3 types of salsa at salsa bar.

Description:
Average size and grilled tortilla. Meat was pretty flavorless. About one bite of guac and very little sour cream. Rice was ok but too much. Not sure what it was, but the burrito tasted like wet socks. It was terrible but I was slightly drunk so ate it anyway. Gross. 

Other Notes:
Sit down restaurant.

Description:
Burrito was overall very good. Tortilla was grilled, burrito medium sized. Supposed to come with guac but it did not (so sad). Even still, the burrito flavors were great. Asada had a great char and flavor and also there was a lot of it. Crema was very good. Salsa was scarce but the burrito was still plenty juicy (the asada was not dry at all and had nice juices in it). Rice was standard but not dry at all.

Other Notes:

Comes with salsa, jalapenos.

Description:
This burrito was as standard as it gets. Everything that should be on a burrito was and it was all fine. The rice was a bit dry. They were out of carne asada. Al Pastor was kinda dry and not great, but it was fine. Large salsa bar that were all pretty bland. Overall nothing about it stood out, but it satisfied all burrito craving and nothing about it was bad.

Other Notes:

Comes with chips and salsa bar.
