| - Basis for my starred ratings (which skews heavily to the food or drink):
1 star: Never again.
2 stars: Poor food, poor experience, extraordinary measures in order for me to come back.
3 stars: Average, nothing really special, nothing particularly bad.
4 stars: Very good, would definitely return.
5 stars: A favorite, one of the best.
Love small, independent joints. Love supporting them. Was hoping to love this place but I can't give it a stellar review, just an average one.
I'll start with the major plus - if you eat in, you get free chips and salsa. The salsa is mild and fine, the chips are nice and thick.
I ordered the Hot burrito special burrito (beans, cheese, guacamole, carne asada, poblano peppers) and a cabeza taco.
The cabeza taco was fine. Served street-style, it was pretty one-dimensional considering all the parts there are on head meat. It tasted fine, the one tortilla it came on was torn, and I think they grill it after they braise it (just a guess). It might order it again, I'm on the fence.
I was pinning my hopes on the burrito. Size and value are just fine. It was just OK in terms of taste. Some ingredients in it were very cold so I got half a warm, half chilled burrito. It got better near the end of the burrito when the warm elements heated up the cold ones. The best part about this burrito is the chopped poblanos. The beans, guacamole, and carne asada were just average. As a whole, it'f filling and a decent value, but all in all, an average burrito.
Choices of sauce include a green tomatillo and a salsa roja for the burrito. Go with the red.
