Description:
It might not be the most authentic burrito spot, but Garaje has a pretty cool atmosphere. In fact, they don’t even have burritos, they call them zapatos. But I’ll count it because they're just pressed burritos.
Their zapatos don’t quite fit into the Mission Style Super Burrito framework since they don’t have rice, crema and are pretty small. The menu says it has salsa, but I sure don't remember any salsa in it. They’re also way overpriced, but maybe that’s just SF for ya. On the flip side, their quality is actually really good. Tortillas are nice and crispy with a perfect grill grid. Guac is clearly fresh and very well made. Beans were creamy and flavorful. Lots of melty cheese. The meat was a bit interesting. They called it Skirt Steak Asada, but it sure tasted like a slow cooked, stewed beef. It had no char and fell apart easily. It also seemed to have a lot of juice, like a stew. It was not your typical asada, but don’t get me wrong, it was still quite good.
So basically this burrito-like thing had really good fillings, but the very high price and pretty small size really knocked it down the rankings. Cool place, good beer, I recommend going, but not the best burrito in The Bay.
