| - I've recently read a few back-and-forths from people who either praise Burrito Boyz till the cows come home, or from those who not only find them overrated as hell, but almost seem offended by that fact.
Having not tried them before, but noticed they opened a location in B-town, I thought I'd give them a shot, as I love me a good burrito.
I'm just going to get the bad stuff out of the way. The lineup not only blew, but was completely incoherant. I couldn't tell if guys in the corner were waiting to figure out what they wanted to order, were waiting on an order, or had already ate and were hanging out. I'll go so far as to say that having any kind of table situation in a place like this is ridiculous. It only adds confusion and crowding. Get your food and get out, just as you would in Sonny's a few doors down.
I'm not going to complain about the wait for the food, because I'd rather it not be rushed. I will however complain about the attitude I received when I tried to get extra guacamole on my burrito, not realizing that you have to let them know when placing your order, so they can charge extra. Apparently i should have noticed the tiny awkwardly-placed sign noting such things. Oh well.
As for the burrito itself, for 8$ I got chicken, and it was huge, and I'd chosen many of the decent selection of items. Once I was out of there, things seemed much sunnier, and I could actually eat my burrito.
The verdict? Delicious! I refuse to argue authenticity, as I'm sure it's not, and I'm not a burrito expert by any means, but it was still the best burrito I've had in a long time. Perhaps when I try some of the other high-rated burrito places, I may change my mind. Until that day, I'd recommend BB!
