| - I had a large chicken burrito here today. I don't live in the area, but I was at Kim's Optical (gonna review Kim's shortly) a few doors down buying glasses and saw the Burrito Place and thought I'd give it a try.
The burrito was about $9 with tax. When I asked what the difference was between the regular and the large, the guy said "same size tortilla, but with the large you get TONS of toppings." So I ordered the large.
I watched the other guy load up the tortilla. Lots of beans, some rice. When it came to the chicken--literally a tablespoon full. Same for everything else--though he put about half a tablespoon of guacamole on the burrito. He put maybe 5 or 6 strands of shredded cheese on the burrito. (I am not exaggerating at all, by the way.) If this was "tons" of toppings, I hate to see how little they put on the smaller sized burrito.
I was disappointed because it certainly did not live up to the description of TONS of toppings that the guy who sold it to me claimed. It was bland--I could really only taste beans, which weren't spicy at all and needed salt. One bite had all the guacamole and tomato, and THAT bite tasted OK. The rest was pretty useless. Filling, yes, but no flavour, no noticeable chicken, cheese, or guacamole, just beans. Have you ever had a NoName bean-and-cheese burrito that NoFrills has in the frozen section for $1 each? Eat two of those instead. Tastes exactly the same as this place, except the NoName burrito is spicier.
I should have trusted my instinct and walked out without ordering when I saw the cashier's filthy fingernails. But I was hungry and didn't have a clue where else to eat at Yonge and Finch. Silly me.
