| - Let me start off by saying my main burrito place is Burrito Boyz. I noticed this place had opened up right next to one of my regular spots, and figured, if they've got the balls to open right next to an established, big name place, they've got to be at least comparable, if not better. The last three times I wanted a burrito, I went here. I don't just try a place once and base my opinion on that one time. The first time I went, I was really impressed. The atmosphere here is slower and more laid back, compared to burrito boys, but still welcoming and comfortable nonetheless. I ordered a large steak and chicken burrito bowl (the equivalent to a Burrito Boyz large steak and chicken naked burrito). I was fairly impressed. The rice was slightly different, but great. The main toppings were pretty much the same, with the exception of their salsa. It was great as well, but less chunky. They also have three options for the salsa; sweet, mild and spicy. Their burrito and hot sauces are also different, and also great. I actually prefer this place's burrito sauce to Burrito Boyz. The major difference between the two places is the taste of the meat. Burrito Boyz chicken and steak meat tastes good, but compared to this place, is a lot less flavourful. This place's meat is juicier, and a lot more flavourful, which adds to the overall flavour of the burrito. My only complaint is the meat is served out of a warming dish, and isn't cooked basically right in front of you when you order it. Could be foodservice, or could've been made in house hours beforehand, or even the day before. That's my only complaint about the quality of the food. The portion size on that first trip was slightly smaller than Burrito Boyz. On the second and third trips however, the portion size was dramatically smaller. Not enough rice or meat. I asked for more rice and was reluctantly given more, but even then, it only covered half the container. The quality remains great though. I understand that this place is new, and they're still getting used to things and working out the kinks, but if they don't consistently match the portion size that Burrito Boyz does, I'll be switching back to them. If possible, I'll take pictures of both places large burrito bowls and post them for comparison. I recommend that everyone try this place at least twice. You won't regret it
