I don't frequent Burrito places but noticed here on Yelp there were two right across the street from each other in the neighbourhood I was in.
I opted for Fat Bastard because of the positive reviews of the Tequila Lime Chicken and figured I'd give it a try.
The physical size of Fast Bastard is not that great. There were about 10 people ordering/eating their orders in the customer area and it felt full. To move around you had ask at least three people "excuse me."
Ordering was straight forward and I watched as the couple in front of me - also noobs - asked for help deciding and the cashier was extremely helpful, walking them through the different options, what certain things mean and the like. I was also impressed when they were putting their toppings on a lá Subway style. The assembler explained what refried beans here and what ghost pepper is. I was quite impressed as it seemed everyone else knew what they were doing and I expected a bit of soup nazism to radiate from behind the counter as it was taking longer than the average order.
My burrito was amazing. I loved the flavour of the chicken. The burrito itself was wrapped tightly so I could eat it with one hand, the whole wheat shell had been grilled so it was soft and crispy at the same time. Man I really loved that burrito. About half way through I had plans on ordering another one for the road but by the time I finished I was full! Not bad for $10.
While the staff was friendly I did find a few things peculiar. When your order is ready to be dressed with toppings they call our numbers. I'm not sure how I was supposed to know my number was on my receipt - and it's not printed any larger than the other text on the receipt. I also found the assembler spoke ultra fast and expected me to anticipate her questions. She had to say "beans and rice" to me about three times and finally pointed at them so I knew what she was asking.
"Ohhhhh, you're asking me if I'd like beans and rice on my burrito - yes - yes please!" was my internal voice.
They had a selection of some neat soft drinks there outside the regular Pepsi/Coke lineups and while I didn't get one on this trip - they offer deep fried mars and snickers bars! A funny UK style treat to find in a burrito place but definitely yummy!
