Description:
Right off the bat, this place is a little bit more Americanized than your typical taqueria. So, the higher price point is not too surprising, but definitely not a plus. The highlight of the burrito was clearly the freshly grilled carne asada. It was flavorful and nicely charred, but not too oily (which I would’ve preferred more oil). The rest of the burrito was pretty average at best. The tortilla was almost uncooked and about half of the burrito was only undercooked rice. And not even very good rice. But, the beans were good, the scarce salsa was good, and the cheese was nicely melted even though it was thrown on cold. The crema was extra sour and not very creamy or plentiful. The burrito was an average to small size, which is still filling enough. The meat got a solid “wow” on first impression, but not enough of it and a whole lot of “meh” from the other ingredients make this an expensive burrito only worth getting if you’re already in the area. Oh yeah and guacamole is your typical $2 extra, guac and crema are 35¢ each...dumb.

Other Notes:
No chips, no salsa bar.
