burrito burracho [General]
2010 Mar 26
Was walking through the market and noticed that this is now Open. Having lived in Cali and frequented the little mom-and-pop burrito shops as well as the fast casual Mexican food chains like Baja Fresh, Chipotle and Qdoba, I have been yearning for more burrito choices in Ottawa.
Went in and ordered a 12" Burrito de Pollo. $10+ with tax, ouch! I guess with the dollars at parity I was expecting less difference in price but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised anymore. Plus it did include an unnecessary small salad, which I could have done wihout, if that meant a lower price tag.
That being said, it was a decent burrito with fresh toppings, although in comparison to the U.S. chains (I know, apples-to-oranges, although I hear there's a Chipotle now in Toronto) the portions erred towards the small side. I will definitely go back, but when a shawarma is five bucks, it will only be when I'm absolutely craving Mexican food...
Cheers
