Description:

Guadalajara seems to be the go-to spot in San Leandro. This place was poppin' with a long line, full tables, but quick service. And their burritos did not dissapoint after the anticipation. Holding 3 in my bag was some serious weight, no small burritos here.

Overall the burrito was packed with quality ingredients that each added a nice touch. They were all very good but for some reason the burrito lacked the elusive wow factor. Nonetheless, it was a great burrito. The carne asada was smoky and flavorful but was on the skimpy side which probably contributed to lack of wow factor. The beans were mediocre. Good enough to do the job at least. The rice was the star of the show and was pretty spot on without overpowering the rest of the ingredients. Guac, crema, onions and cilantro all did their job as well. The salsa was tasty but there was so much that it took over the flavor in an unwanted way. Cheese was plentiful and covered almost the whole tortilla. And the tortilla was steamed and also great.

TL;DR it was great but lacked the wow.

Other Notes:

Only chips if you eat in. Only one type of salsa for the chips.
