| - I will not be returning to Federico's.
I've been ordering burritos from Federico's for some time now. I usually just go bean and cheese with some rice, guac and pico. Simple. Tasty.
Today I opted for the drive thru for the first time, and I took a moment to decide whether I wanted to switch it up with some chicken. I made my choice to add it to my burrito and proceeded to the window to pay for it, even giving a bigger than usual holiday tip. This was gonna be GREAT.
What happened next was heartbreaking and left me in shock and awe. On my way home, I steal a bite of my burrito and it's all chicken. None of my other burrito adornments are in sight as I peer through this salty mess of chicken. I give it a squeeze and all I feel is lumpy chicken for miles. Da hell? I decided to wait until I got home to investigate further.
My burrito was assembled as if it had purposefully been intended to be the worst burrito ever. 2/3 of one end was chicken and the last third was cheese, beans, a few grains of rice, pico, and maybe a DROP OR TWO OF GUAC. In that order, as if perfectly arranged one on top of the other to ensure minimal mixing of ingredients and a mouth full of unmelted cheese. I'm serious. I know it sounds crazy, but I don't joke about burritos.
I think it's reasonable to expect that anyone working at a mexican food establishment would be familiar with proper burrito assembly. Anyone who has even eaten a burrito could have done a better job assembling my burrito so as to properly disperse it's contents. With their eyes closed.
This, in my opinion, is inexcusable and honestly felt like a deliberate "F*** YOU." This is not a risk I am willing to take again. I'll be sticking with Rolando's on 35th and Peoria.
