| - Hot Head Burritos is an Ohio based chain that just opened up in the Southern Highlands area at Southern Highlands Pkwy and Cactus in the center near Smith's and Subway.
The concept is simple. It's pretty much just like Chipotle in which you pick what you want and go down the line of items and let them know what you want. The menu options are burritos, bowls, tacos, nachos or quesadillas. Then they have various ingredients you can add: plain or brown rice, black or pinto beans, pico, corn, verde salsa, wild salsa, sour cream, cheddar or monterey jack cheeses, lettuce, banana peppers, jalapeƱos, onions, and guacamole ($1.00 upcharge).
The thing that differentiates them from being labeled as just another Chipotle rip-off is the fact that they have a bunch of different sauces that you can put on top to give it an extra kick or flavor like Hot Head sauce, Tabasco chipotle, Cholula hot sauce, honey bbq, ranch, sweet habanero, taco sauce, buffalo sauce, extreme habanero, and straight habanero.
For what it was, it was good, not great. Don't roll up in here expecting the second coming of the Chipotle Gods but if you are looking for something very similar with a bit of a different flair, it'll do the trick. I didn't notice any gristle on the meat, like I have at Chipotle, which is why I stopped eating there. Plus, Chipotle has had some big issues lately with an e. coli outbreak in many locations so I wouldn't risk it, at the very least until they get all that straight. I'd give Hot Head Burritos a shot instead and see what you think.
