| - Honestly, I'm kind of shocked about all the bad reviews here on Yelp! Like many others, used to got to the Kent TT semi-often, and loved it. Sure, the burritos aren't necessarily authentic, but I've given up on authentic Mexican in NE Ohio anyway.
Initially I was put off by the "meh" reviews here, and kind of dragged my heels about going. But then a friend posted a picture of the daily specials board yesterday and I knew I had to stop in before work. What drew me in? The "Kick-Ass Kale" special. I'm glad I went, because it was one of those rare moments when I got exactly what I wanted and was perfectly happy with my lunch. My crispy, baked burrito was full of a whole mess o' kale as promised, no skimpy greens portion here! Along with that, it contained roasted potatoes, corn, poblano peppers, onions, sour cream, tomatoes, and a butt-load of cheese. Effin delicious! If you are not the biggest fan of cheese, I'd recommend asking the kitchen to go light, because there was A LOT of it. No complaints here though. My boyfriend got the steak burrito and it was also delicious.
The wait time was not bad. 15 minutes to eat in two burritos assembled from scratch and baked? Not sweating a 15 minute wait. I think people have just become used to going down the line at Chipotle. You'd wait that long or longer at any other restaurant.
My only minute complaint is that the mild and hot salsa had exactly the same heat level and tasted very similar. That said, I preferred the flavor of the mild.
Oh, and the bill? $14.
Thank goodness for Taco Tonto's. You're there for me when I crave something better than the big C and have a little more time to spare. Before you, I had to suffer the abuses and erratic opening/closing times of El Tango, but no more! I'll be back, and hopefully not before work so I can try some of the signature margaritas!
