| - Oh Burritos....You plump little pockets of pleasure. You are pornography for the palette, fantastic and satisfying with a little guilt at the end.
Unfortunately the burritos at Burrito's Juarez didn't do much to tickle the burrito bone. (that sounds bad, but let's go with it). Between the textures and flavors I experienced, I don't plan on coming back.
The store itself is quaint and clean as it hides away in an unsuspecting shopping center. The staff was nice enough, but the food is what drops this Burrito joint's street cred so low.
My Order:
Machaca Burrito - The shredded beef was overcooked, making a lot of it hard, dry, and tough. It had a texture which approached beef jerky; not what you're looking for in a burrito. The eggs were fine, but overall this was a big flavorless let down.
"Chico" Tacos - Similar to Flautas, these crispy, rolled, beef tacos looked better than they actually tasted. Again, dry and flavorless, I liked the fried tortilla and nothing else. The melted cheese on top didn't melt well, and became an unsightly glob. The red sauce that accompanied the tacos was watery and lacked that bright flavor profile one expects in a Mexican red sauce.
Save yourself the disappointment, and search elsewhere for that perfect Burrito that we all know is waiting to be discovered.
