| - Hmmm, what just happened? I was so sure that I would love this place.
Excited by the prospect of a great burrito (who wouldn't be?), I decided to venture out into the cold in search of Bolet's Burrito. Despite reports that this place is hard to find, it's probably safe to leave your favourite compass and/or sextant at home. The location is right beside Rabba Fine Foods, so you really can't miss it.
We came here for lunch on a Thursday and there was no one in line, so we were able to place our order right away. I wasn't aware of this prior to coming in, but this is really more of a Filipino-Mexican fusion place, so there are some unique options on the menu. I went with the pulled pork burrito, which was only $5 (student special).
The person who took our order was friendly and welcoming and our burritos were ready within minutes. As I unwrapped my burrito, everything looked great: the portion was huge and I was pleased to see that the wrap was well-toasted. After a few bites, however, I realized that most of the filling was lukewarm borderline cold. I also wasn't a big fan of pulled pork in a burrito setting, but it's possible that I couldn't properly enjoy and appreciate the flavours because the food wasn't hot enough. Overall, it was pretty disappointing.
So I don't love this place yet, but I'm willing to try. Based on the high reviews, maybe this was just a one-off. Hopefully I'll have better luck next time!
