Nooooot great. Not terrible. Highlights were the salsas for sure. That's about it now that I think back. Lowlights were the beans, red sauce, and heavy rice filling. That's about all there is to say. There are plenty of other places to go to instead.

Description:
This burrito was a pleasant surprise stemming from low expectations. That's a rare one for me, obviously, the guy with the burrito blog who rates each individual ingredient. But maybe I should try it out more often because it made me enjoy a middle of the pack burrito more than I would have otherwise. However, as always, middle of the pack around these parts is still a very good burrito.
This one wasn't your typical Mission Style, but still have some very nice flavors. It lacked the wow factor that many of the superior burritos have but also had its own best attributes. The menu doesn't say so, but the black beans are refried and were super good. Meat was good, but not your typical barbacoa or carnitas. They included some different spices that I liked but also wasn't what I was expecting. Other people might not like it as much. The rice was a white rice with cilantro. No guac or crema is disappointing but that's just life sometimes.
I'll give Doña some uncounted bonus points for the large outdoor seating, which is very covid friendly, and for their awesome fish taco.

Other Notes:
No chips or salsa bar
