| - Hot Head Burrito in Strongsville is a decent place for lunch. It's very much like Chipotle. If you're familiar with Chipotle (adding to your order as you advance on the line) you'll find Hot Head Burrito very similar.
I ordered the same thing I usually get at Chipotle: a burrito bowl with chicken. Hot Head Burrito offers similar components: brown or white rice, brown or black beans, grilled zucchini, fajita onions & peppers, meat (chicken, steak, pork, barbacoa and taco meat), cheese, lettuce, corn, guacamole and a variety of salsas.
The food itself was OK. I found the rice and beans to be bland. The chicken was lightly seasoned. The veggies (zucchini) were a nice touch; something Chipotle doesn't offer.
The service was friendly. A few times it seemed like the server wasn't paying attention to what I was actually saying (for instance he asked me if I wanted rice. I asked "What are the choices, brown and white rice?" And he proceeded to add white rice to my bowl.) but overall the service was fine.
The restaurant is very clean and much less noisier than Chipotle. It is also less busy. I was there at lunchtime (noon) and there were only 2 other diners and no one on line.
The price of my meal was a little higher than Chipotle. $17 for 2 burrito bowls & 1 drink.
There is plenty of free parking right outside. It is near a bakery, pita shop, pizza place, beauty supply & grilled cheese diner.
All in all, the food at Hot Head Burrito was fine and service was good. However, if I had to choose, I'd dine somewhere else next time.
