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.

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.

Tacos El Gordo

Details:
  • Rating: 7.61
  • Order: Burrito - $8.00
  • Meat: Carne Asada - 8
  • Beans: Pinto - 5
  • Rice: 7
  • Guacamole: No
  • Crema: 9
  • Salsa: No
  • Tortilla: 8
  • Cheese: No
  • Size: 8
  • Taste: 7.5
Description:
First few bites were really good. The crema is some of the best I've had and it was loaded on top. There was also some sort of sauce that was very good. The carne asada was pretty good but there was not very much of it. Rice was good as well but it overloaded the burrito. After the first few bites it got much drier and not as good. The burrito was very large but also did not have guac and had only pinto beans.

Other Notes:

No cheese on burrito.

Cactus Taqueria

  • Rating: 6.63
  • Order: Burrito Mejor - $7.95
  • Meat: Carne Asada - 7
  • Beans: Refried - 5
  • Rice: 5
  • Guacamole: Yes - 6
  • Crema: 10
  • Salsa: Yes - 4
  • Tortilla: 6
  • Cheese: 9
  • 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.

  • Guacamole: Yes - 4
  • Crema: 4
  • Salsa: Yes - 4
  • Tortilla: 7

  • Size: 5
  • Taste: 6
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.
