| - Last week I met up with a highschool friend for the first time after highschool graduation for burritos at Chino Locos: Dos Locos, the Church street venue. I'd never been to this Mexican fast food joint before, but I heard great things about their burritos, which is the only thing they make and serve. I was glad to find a spotless and nicely lit dining area and knowledgeable and friendly burrito cooks/ cashiers (they're the same person).
Their menu is rather limited, but that's not necessarily a bad thing because what they offer is actually quite good and there's something for everyone, particularly for me, the vegan: they have 1 vegetarian burrito with cheese and sour cream, but they also have 1 vegan burrito that is sans dairy and meat - "the juicy vegan." The vegan burrito was so good... priced at $7.99 before taxes, it's actually the most expensive burrito on their menu!!! The burrito consists of pressed tofu, eggplant, shitake mushrooms, glass noodles, guacamole, tomatoes, edamame beans, red onions, black beans, green peppers, cilantro, chipotle sauce, rustic rice... all wrapped in a whole wheat wrap. (You have the option between white and whole wheat). The cooks told me that they made their own guacamole at the restaurant, and to me, anything made from scratch is a big bonus! One set back to my burrito experience was the hot sauce... it wasn't hot enough, even though I'd asked for extra hot -I LOVE spicy food.
You should check this place out if you like Asian food and Mexican food... the Asian-Mexican influence on my burrito made it a crazy dining experience for my taste buds... those Chino Locos fo'sho! (Translation, Chino Locos = "crazy Asians" in Spanish).
