| - A long agonizing flight delay kicked my hunger into desperation mode, where I eventually found myself waiting in line for Currito, a popular midwest burrito chain previously known as The Wrap in several states. My expectations were extremely low but even then that was too much. The experience was beyond disappointing, so much so that I actually was turned off by the thought of additional Mexican food (#1).
It should be said I tend to expect less of all airport establishments. Even McDonalds isn't the same animal when past an airport security gate. I really have nothing against the idea of Currito, which as a Chipotle lover, should mean I'm very open to fast food burritos. I do however suffer from a bit of confusion on it's name, which in Spanish means "worker man" or carries the sentiment of a "blue collar" laborer. Am I really eating a blue collar burrito?
The ladies behind the counter were slow to make my Cajun Chicken (black beans, salsa, corn, rice, sour cream and some Cajun seasoning) and my friend's Buffalo Chicken (bleu cheese, buffalo sauce, celery), both of which turned out soggy and extremely unstable. Things got so bad they ended up serving my burrito on a plastic container lid instead of a plate. No napkins were given and no additional sauces were available.
Worst of all, both burritos were beyond mediocre. I made a squeamish face with every bite into the burrito, the ingredients were neither fresh nor tasty, a deadly combo that will result in a buzzkill for any burrito lover. The after taste of the Cajun seasoning left a bad film in the mouth, that not even another (tasty) burrito could fix. Even $10 at the nearby Burger King would've been a better investment than this.
If these are Burritos without Borders, then keep me in the country.
