| - I HAVE MET MY MATCH! Sometimes, it's better to take the cook's word for it!
After work, I stopped by Bar Burrito to pick up a taco salad. I've been meaning to try it since I keep walking pass the Yonge Street location, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it on Bay Street.
They offer a variety of taco salads, obviously I went for the vegetarian salad -but I made it vegan by omitting the cheese. " The taco salad comes in a white taco shell bowl -which is a bummer for me because I like whole wheat taco shells, but it was still good, with fresh romaine lettuce and crumbled nacho chips on top. Unlike my favourite taco salad place, Mucho Burrito, Bar Burrito does not have a great variety of ingredients to top the salad with, for example, Bar Burrito only has one type of salsa, while Mucho Burrito has three. Bar Burrito's salad also does not come with black beans or pinto beans, but to make up for that, their taco salad comes with soy.... meaning fake meat... which wasn't bad at all. Another bummer, Bar Burrito charges you for guaccamole, while Mucho Burrito doesn't, obviously that disappointed me because I love avocados!
Despite the lack of variety of ingredients, Bar Burrito's salad was pleasantly satisfying. The cook was very generous with the fake meat and the ingredients that they did have, such as corn, tomatoes, and green peppers. What surprised me was their hot sauce. I most def have met my match today. I had asked for hot sauce to go on my salad because I love spicy food and eat hot sauce with almost everything. And unlike most places with "hot" sauce, Bar Burrito's hot sauce was actually really, really spicy. O-M-G!!! The cook/ server had warned me when I asked for their hottest sauce (they have a milder hot sauce) and said it was REALLY hot. I naturally scoffed and actually flung my head back, laughed and asked him to load it up because I've never really had a hot sauce that made me gasp for water... and to me, if I'm not gasping for water, then it ain't hot. However, not only did I gasp for water, my face actually went NUMB while eating and I could feel the sauce BURNING the inside of my stomach. And to add fire to the damage, I tried to put out the burning within my tummy with orange juice -tremendously horrible move on my part because orange juice is acidic! I'd thought the sweetness would calm my stomach down. I knew milk would have helped, but dammit, I'm vegan!
I would most def come back to Bar Burrito for a salad, even though their salad is more expensive than Mucho Burritos', it doesn't come with a whole wheat shell, they lack a variety of ingredients and their hot sauce can do real damage and my stomach may need to lay off hot sauce and cayenne pepper for the next few days... it was just good and having another place to go to for a taco salad (that comes in a taco shell bowl) is always a good thing.
