| - What the hell. 4 stars?
I am in Toronto for a few hours and I want my friends to take me to Burrito Boys. Too much driving they say, we'll just go to mucho burrito. Whatever. Ok. I order a 10 inch chorizo burrito. The chorizo, in the heater, of course, looks like chopped up albino penis. Well, that's harsh. It looked like the dog sausage that I had in Vietnam a few months earlier. Why the chrorizo isn't shredded beats the hell out of me. I ask for it loaded with anything spicy on it. Jalapenos do actually look fresh! But everything else was bland as fuck.
I ask for Quac. Oh, that will be 99 cents. Fuck that. But yet I ask for it "smothered". Of course, at an outrageous upsell price of $1.50. I assume I am getting something like an enchilada, with flavorful sauce and cheese, but alas, no.
They throw the food in a disposable plastic container and charge me $35 for 3 burritos and 3 drinks. This better be fucking good. It wasn't.
The "smothering" sauce tasted like basic prego/marinara sauce. The entire burrito had no flavor. It tasted like a really crappy bland vegetarian burrito I could get at some federal government building cafeteria. I don't know how else I can describe the mediocrity.
Toronto is not a "Mexican food desert", even though 4 star reviews for a place as shitty as this probably reflects a lack of Mexican food experience. For a city with so few Mexicans, there are actually some great options. This is not one of them. This falls short even by Calgary standards.
