It's not hard to get a good vegan burrito in this city -- even Chipotle provides a pretty tasty option if you hold the sour cream and cheese -- but somehow Hot Beans, a place dedicated to nothing other than vegan burritos, manages to barely reach the level of mediocrity while charging a premium.
Brown rice instead of white? That's a dollar extra. Guacamole? That's extra, too. Fresh salsa, cilantro, jalapenos, or corn? Not available. What you can get are timidly spiced fillings: chewy TVP nuggets, oddly peanut-seasoned seitan, or gloppy and bland black beans.
