| - Burrito Gordito Legendary Tex-Mex is a small Mexican restaurant on Peter. It easy to miss this place as it's tucked away below street level, but please do not make the mistake of walking by.
I kept it simple and grabbed a small burrito with spicy pulled pork for about $8. They call it small, but as is often the case with a burrito, they'll fit a lot of love into those pita walls. Like any self respecting man, I said yes to all of the toppings, which includes: rice, tomatoes, lettuce, green onion, refried beans, cilantro cheese, green pepper, and guacamole jalapeƱos. It's generally hard to find a "bad" burrito so my expectations were rather neutral, but God damn did I like this burrito. Sure the ingredients appeared relatively fresh and the burrito was filling, but the superb refried beans, the spicy pulled pork, and the extra bit of hot sauce took me to a special place. Fair warning: they do not mess around with spicy here. If you ask for hot sauce, they'll give you Mexican attitude hot sauce, not North American tingle-your-tongue hot sauce. Fight through it though and appreciate a dynamite burrito.
Lastly, you should know that this a small place and that though there is some seating, you can maybe only fit five seated people in there. Again, it's small. Take your food and go.
