| - I have eaten at Freshwest about twice a week for the last two years, so obviously I like it. The best part, as compared to other burrito establishments, is that the meat is not dripping with sauce and each ingredient is completely separate so you can actually tailor things to suit your taste. I started as a pure burrito guy, then moved to the burrito bowl, but I'm now back to the regular burrito.
As others have mentioned, it is an extremely tense ordering environment when you go for your first time. But once you've been a few hundred times you will have no problem answering their demands all while typing on your Blackberry and carrying on a conversation.
A burrito costs $7.90 after tax if you don't get any guacamole or vegetables, which are collectively referred to as "extras" when you go to pay.
I have two complaints about Freshwest though. The first is that I am there constantly, yet every day I have to say "no extras" when I pay. I know it's busy, but throw me bone, you know me and you know I never get any extras. The second problem is that every few months it seems that there is a directive that comes down from management that less toppings should be used and you end up with this sad little burrito. When these austerity measures are in force I think there is a notable reduction in the size of the line, people are noticing Freshwest.
The beef is not very good (tough and dry), so stick with the chicken.
