| - I started for here a couple of times but never made it. This time, I went in. Either someone's designed a smokehouse air freshener or this place has real bbq. I don't know for sure because I got the burrito. -didn't want to spend $20 on a lunch plate. But it smelled really good...
Actually, I'm not sure how much the burrito was either- surely less than $10. The menu read like this:
Pulled Pork 10
Brisket 16
Baby Back Ribs 18
I ended up making my food decision based on the waitress's recommendation. I didn't realize before that the number without the dollar sign was the price, (those aren't the actual prices, by the way. Just an example of how the menu reads.
So, anyway, for an appetizer I ordered
Chips and Salsa 5
The salsa was fresh with roasted tomatoes. An effort was made here to make it good. Very basic though. Just tomato and mild heat. I couldn't tell if the chips were fresh or not. They were very uniform and evenly cooked which makes me think probably from a bag.
The burrito was very interesting- about Chipotle size. The waitress talked it up like it was going to be huge. Not so... I can eat a Chipotle burrito, a bag of chips and two tacos. So I had no problem finishing this burrito. I got it with bbq chicken and fully loaded. It was pretty good but very busy with like, grilled onions and sautéed mushrooms. Something had the distinct flavor of coriander or curry powder. I think it was coming from the mushrooms. The best burritos use few ingredients. For example: Chicken Burrito. Ingredients- chicken, tortilla, spices. Still big! Mostly, you can only get big burritos if they're stuffed with sh#*!. If you go to Chipotle and order a chicken burrito with JUST chicken, it'll be pencil thin.
To cut this short, I like this place. It was good and not typical. The staff was nice and the place is attractive. One complaint- the six pack of sauces they bring to the table was kind of gross. So much gunk on the squeeze bottles of bbq sauce that I could have tried their whole menu just by licking the bottles.
