  • Guacamole: Avocado - 7

  • Taste: 7.25
Description:
Burrito had grilled tortilla. Medium size. First half of the burrito was very good. It had lots of crema and a good amount of avo. Salsa was a fresh chunky pico. Carne asada was plentiful and large pieces with great flavor and medium char. Rice was pretty good. I didn't ask for refried beans, but they just put pinto in and they weren't great. The bottom half of the burrito was heavily rice and beans so it was not as good. Overall pretty good. Salsas weren't great, but they had them which was nice (spicy avo salsa was pretty good), and they gave free chips.

Other Notes:

Comes with chips and salsa bar.

Description:
Sit down type restaurant. Burrito was medium sized. Al pastor was very bad. It was large chunks and had lots of big pieces of pure fat. Also had very little flavor. The rest of the burrito was basically just mush. The rice was pretty good, but the other ingredients were liquidy and not very good. Reminded me of La Taq sort of. Not much redeeming about this burrito, but it wasn't the worst one ever.

Other Notes:

4 types of salsa.

  • Order: Super Burrito - $7.00
  • Meat: Carne Asada - 9
  • Beans: Refried - 8
  • Rice: 6
  • Guacamole: Avocado - 7
  • Crema: 7
  • Salsa: No
  • Tortilla: 9
  • Cheese: 10
  • Size: 7
  • Taste: 9
Description:
On the larger side. Tortilla was grilled, but still was nice and soft. The meat was the best I've had and there was a lot of it. Not overcooked, perfectly charred, good char flavor, perfectly seasoned. There was also a lot of cheese in it which was nice. Overall the burrito was extremely juicy and not dry at all. It could have used more rice and beans and crema, but that is a small complaint. The avo would've been good as guac. Also had nice onions and cilantro in it. A few things could have made it better, but it was a bomb burrito.

Other Notes:

Assortment of hot sauces (no salsa).

I think the burrito was pretty good. Medium to large size. I was drunk so I really can't remember all the details, but it tasted pretty good. I remember it being pretty juicy. The meat probably wasn't great. The salsa bar was pretty good.

Other Notes:

Good salsa bar.

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...

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.
