Description:
This burrito falls firmly in the upper end of "solid burritos but nothing too special". The meat was decent, the rice was ok, the beans were pretty good, the cheese was nice. There wasn't quite enough crema (except dripping out onto the foil), the guacamole was just avocado pieces and the salsa was extremely sour. The sourness was a bit offputting but was more surprising than bad. The tortilla was very good and it was a pretty large burrito. The distribution was poor at the top but got better down toward the bottom. Overall I can't say anything stood out with this burrito, but it was everything a burrito should be and on the upper end of that tier. It was a bit expensive though.

Other Notes:
Decent green and red salsa with serve yourself chips.
