Description:

This burrito was pretty bomb. It was pretty average sized, but the super burrito is two tortillas and enormous (extra $3). The asada was pretty incredible. It was quite salty but with that it packed a ton of flavor. It wasn't particularly charred, but it was cooked well and there was a ton of it. The seasoning on it was great and the oil seeped through the burrito and mixed with the guac/crema/cheese to make a really nice juicy filling. The guac/crema/cheese all added to the burrito, but none quite stood out as amazing. The beans were solid but nothing special. The rice was a really good flavorful mexican style rice. It was a bit darker and was cooked perfectly. Tortilla was grilled style and was solid. The guac/crema/cheese cost an extra $3.25 though which is pretty ridiculous. So the burrito without it is pretty cheap and with is pretty expensive.

Other Notes:
Guac/crema/cheese cost a lot extra. Came with jalapenos, carrots, grilled onions, salsa.

Description:

A little bit larger than medium size. The word to describe this whole experience was "bland". The meat was overcooked and bland but at least had an ok char to it. Beans were mushy and rather flavorless. Rice was dry and had been sitting out too long. Avo was just a couple pieces right in the middle. Crema was decent but not much of it. Salsa was bland. Tortilla was pretty good. Cheese was unmelted but there was a lot of it at least! It was all in the first few bites of the burrito so it was basically all cheese there. The salsa bar was also very bland. The distribution in the burrito was totally off too. Nothing here was terrible, but every part of it was subpar for sure.

Other Notes:
Comes with chips and salsa.

Description:

This was a pretty medium sized burrito. The asada was a full grilled steak that was cooked medium which was nice that it wasn't overcooked. The meat flavor was good and stood out on certain bites, but a lack of seasoning and underheated grill caused a lack of grill/char flavor to compliment the meatiness. Black refried beans are a rare treat, but they were a bit old and underwhelming. Rice was a nicely flavored achiote-like rice, but was a little dry as if it had been sitting out a while. Guac, crema and salsa were pretty sparse especially considering you had to pay extra for them. "The works" was not worth it at all. The salsa was pretty bad in the burrito. The tortilla was falling apart and flaky in a bad way. Not very good at all. Overall, the meat saved this burrito and brought it back to decent because the rest of it was not great.

Other Notes:
Comes with chips and tomato sauce like salsa.

Description:

So this burrito is enormous. If that's not enough, it also comes with chips, onions and nopales along with the full salsa/topping bar. First bite had a solid wow, distribution was great top to bottom. There was plenty of asada, though it wasn't the best ever. But it had a nice flavor and definitely dominated the burrito as it should. They only have pinto beans which was a bummer, but they had good flavor and weren't overcooked at all. Rice was very nice. Pretty simple, but perfectly cooked, the right amount and tasted great. No guac or salsa which was a bit sad. The crema was the real star of the show though. Flavor really came through and it was a generous amount of great thick crema. So good. The cheese was also really good in the areas that had it. It had pockets of a lot or a little so somewhat hit or miss. The tortilla was not so great. It was pretty thick, but missed on both the steamed/grilled sides. It was just kind of...there. Didn't even eat dinner after having this for lunch cause I was still full.

Other Notes:
Huge salsa/toppings bar. Comes with chips and fried onions and nopales!

Description:

Ooohh weee what a burrito! This thing was incredible. It was very large and had a nicely grilled tortilla but still chewy and great. The star of the show, as it should be, was the carne Asada. This was the best I've ever had and a bit different too. Half of it was regular carne, but the other half was crispy stuck to the grill pieces. This gave it a ton of flavor, salt and nice crunchiness. The actual meaty parts were good too. The rest of the burrito was pretty good with great proportions. Tons of cheese and cream but could've used more guac. The beans were pinto but nicely cooked. The rice was pretty plain but well cooked and let the other ingredients shine. That first bite with crunchy carne asada produced an immediate wow. Slight upgrades are possible, but this burrito is hard to beat. The 40 minute wait got me off to the wrong start though. Salsa bar and chips made up for that, though.

Other Notes:
Comes with chips and salsa bar. Sit down restaurant that could be a wait for your burrito.

Description:

First bite was...good. The burrito seemed like your standard solid burrito. A typical mission style but not huge and nothing popped out about it. The meat was very good, though. Good char and extremely good flavor, especially with the juices. But, there was not enough meat for it to shine through. Pinto beans were meh, and the rice was a bit mushy. Avo was all in the very center of the burrito, so it was overwhelming in the couple bites it was in. Crema was almost nonexistent. Salsa was spicy and pretty good, but not much substance. The tortilla sorta split the bill on grilled/steamed. It was grilled but a little soggy so it kinda missed on both parts. There was lots of nice melty cheese though which was great. Solid burrito...nothing special.

Other Notes:
Comes with chips and salsa.

Description:

For a place in Alameda that calls burritos "wraps", it was quite good. Plenty of guac/crema/salsa/juicy ingredients. The distribution of everything was great, but the individual ingredients just weren't amazing. The asada was not charred at all and was lacking in flavor. The rice was pretty bland as well. Not a huge fan of the corn in it either. But, the burrito was very large and satisfying overall. Also came with chips and salsa, so a pretty good deal.

Other Notes:
Burrito has corn, comes with chips.

Description:

Semi large size. Burrito was mainly just rice beans and meat, with a little bit of crema and some sporadic onions and cilantro. Given the lack of ingredients, it still had very nice flavor. I think the meat had a lot of juice and oil that got in with it which was very good, and quite limey. Overall surprisingly good considering it was so much rice.

Description:

Burrito was on the smaller side. It was heavily rice with almost no beans or other ingredients besides the meat. Some bites of the asada were very good, others were just ok. The big redeeming factor was that a few bites with more crema had great flavor. Even though it was basically a rice and meat burrito, it was still decent.

Description:

Pretty large burrito with overall decent flavor. Highlights of it were the beans which were very good and salsa. While the flavor was nice, it was far too salty. The asada had the flavor, but was lacking on char and was a bit more like shredded beef. The guac was watery as was the crema and there was not enough of them. The pico was very nice and the rice was just fine. Given the pitfalls, I was pleasantly surprised on first bite. There was also a good amount of shredded cheese inside.

Other Notes:
Salsa bar.

Pretty big wet burrito, so it was weird eating with a fork and knife. There was a lot of meat in it and it had a good char flavor. But it was a bit dry and not super flavorful beyond the char. The rice was very good (achiote). Beans were good for pinto beans. Guac, salsa and crema were on top along with the red sauce. They were all fine but nothing spectacular. Overall the ingredients weren't amazing, but it was nice and juicy and had the right amount of each one.

Other Notes:
Nicer sit down restaurant.

Description:

Definitely a gringo style restaurant in the Haight. It had nopales though. Burrito was normal sized. Pastor was pretty good, I also tried the carne asada (just a piece) and it was a little better. The burrito was too heavy on rice and beans. The beans were good, but the rice was lacking flavor. The guac was almost nonexistent and the crema was terrible. It dripped out of a hole in the side and tasted like nothing. The burrito also broke by the end and was not wrapped well. I don't even remember there being salsa in it. Overall the burrito was decent and besides the crema nothing in it was bad at all. But it lacked any real wow factor and there wasn't enough meat to really taste it.

Other Notes:
3 types of salsa.

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.

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.

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).

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...

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.
