| - How did I never review this?? Seriously. I love this place!
I first hit CL at lunch with some coworkers when I was working down in the Strip. They so raved about it - and they are not "ethnic" eaters - that I had to try it. All I can say is "oh my".
This burrito was both quantity and quality. It was overstuffed with rice, black beans, this fantastic Peruvian chicken, and cheese. I realized immediately that this burrito was fantastically tasty and, unfortunately, too much for one lunch..... so I polished the entire thing off anyway. It took twice as long to walk back to work as it did to get there.... but it was so worth it. And, for less than the price of a fast-food burger, I was in burrito heaven.
So, of course, then it was a matter of taking DH there on a weekend. We had been walking the strip for hours and were famished having skipped breakfast and lunch and it was late afternoon, so we ordered heartily - he got a burrito, I ordered a quesadilla, and we split a bowl of tortilla soup along with an order of nachos.
I don't know what they do to their salsa but, damn, it is tasty. It has such a nice light kick to it - not enough to keep your tongue burning, just enough to make it tasty - and those chips. I don't know. Maybe they dust them with crack cocaine - they are totally addictive. I don't know what makes them so good but they truly are fantastic.
The quesadilla was HUGE. And stuffed nicely with chicken, rice, black beans, and cheese . 1/2 of it came home and the teenager ate it later. The tortilla soup was very good. Nicely spiced. Not too junked up with stuff (I hate when they throw so much cheese and strips on the top that you feel like you are eating the Mexican version of French onion soup).
Having hit it several times since then for lunch, we made it down again over the weekend with DH and TS before the Pittsburgh Power game - and we heartily dug in and enjoyed our meal immensely.
The waitstaff is friendly and fun - they are attentive and helpful when you are ordering.
Prices are soooo reasonable. There are not many places where you can feed three adults - with a lot of leftovers to go home - for about $10-12 a person. And we could have easily spent less if we didn't want the leftovers - but what fun would that be???
I hate to recommend this place because I hate to see it become crowded like that place across the street on weekends ;) but I have to share this place - it is so good and they deserve to be a huge success. So go and enjoy -
