| - As I stated in my Red Velvet Cafe review, I think it's essential for me to point out that I'm not Vegan, nor in my wildest or tamest dreams could I ever become Vegan. My love for the flesh of cows, pigs and chickens rivals that of Romeo and Juliet, McAdams and Gosling, and Kim Kardashian and (insert current boyfriend here).
In seeing the great reviews for this place here and on John Curtas' blog, I was skeptical to say the least. Upon seeing more and more pictures of the My Love burrito though, my skepticism began to fade, enough so that I decided to call in an order.
I'd read here about the wait and their website made mention to give plenty of time for an order to be prepared, so I placed it accordingly and was told it'd be ready in 35 minutes. The location isn't the greatest and neither is the parking lot for a parking challenged individual for myself. The food came out from the kitchen right when I arrived (perfect timing!) and the woman running the front of the house graciously allowed me to try some of the flavored waters they had available that day. Wasn't too crazy about any of those but got some blended tea drink they had that was tasty.
Upon getting back to the office and finally getting a chance to see the food, it looked as remarkable as the pictures I'd seen of it online. It was one of those things that I could almost tell was going to taste amazing before even having a bite, vegan cheese notwithstanding. The following bites confirmed this, and the medley of tofu, beans, veggies, potatoes and yes, fear in my heart striking vegan cheese tasted blissful. I wont get into my vegan cheese exploits of the past, but this experience erased those past experiences quickly. The My Love burrito is quite simply the best vegan meal I've ever had, and I'd put it toe to toe against most meat filled burritos I've had.
At $11, it's pricier than your average burrito, but then again this is no average burrito.
