I don't understand how this place doesn't have more reviews OR more good reviews for that matter. Had a late lunch here yesterday with a good buddy, and while I admit that it was a tad difficult to find as it was in the Liberty Village Market area (which I might add is a friggin sweet space for independent businesses), this hidden little taste of tex mex was a great find and I was thrilled to be introduced to it.
A pretty standard take away burrito spot in terms of its set up, however they offer some creative options that I have yet to come across in other similar spots. While they offer the standard burrito options, they also have tacos, burrito bowls and other items as well.
What really struck me was the difference in size between the standard burrito and the "double" being hungry but not wanting to kill myself I decided to opt for the standard measuring in at about 6 inches in length BUT don't be turned off, it likely was about 8+ inches around as asking for "the works" gives you a very full burrito. I ordered the surf and turf burrito (something I had not had before - steak and shrimp) and it was excellent!
Being the wannabe budding burrito expert I think what made this place a winner for me was the generous helpings of toppings but not having them overindulge with rice. Far too many times asking for rice in your burrito means a carb overload and certain feelings of being stuffed. I found the put a perfect amount of rice in and filled the rest of the space with more flavourful ingredients. Their Habanero hot sauce is fantastic and is a familiar flavour....I believe I've had it before somewhere else, but it's a fav of mine.
Only negative's for me were -0.5 for being out of Guacamole and minus -0.5 for not putting enough sauce in it upon ordering. Other than that the ingredients were fresh and cooked well and the steak and shrimp were a welcome new experience for me.
I was comfortable after finishing the standard and I feel the DOUBLE would have been a terrible mistake ha ha.
Ill be back when in liberty village. ALSO, prices I'd say are slightly above average for burritos but not astronomically out of this world. Give them a shot!
