| - When you stack up Burro Burrito against the "bigger" burrito joints in this city, it ranks low. I'm only judging by the quality of the burrito this review and not the location.
I like my burritos less mushy, so less beanie... and not soggy, so more time on the grill to form that crispy crust enclosure. Burro doesn't produce these results but I don't think they planned on doing so. What you get is a softer, not crispy, tortilla wrap.
The fillings range from pork to chicken to steak, to fish. I've tried their chorizo with potato, steak, and shredded pork before. The flavours of each protein are similar once you eat them along with all the ingredients anyway, so it's a texture thing you should care for. I prefer the steak, but I always prefer steak for any meal... so that doesn't help.
The burrito: slightly toasted flour tortilla filled with rice, beans, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, unidentifiable (but tasty) sauce with your choice of meat. One word of warning, their levels of hot are out of control. Dial it one notch down to that you're used to ordering because they seem to be ruthless here... or authentic, one or the other.
Mild is always good.
Overall, it's a great place for that late night craving or after a sloshed night. If you want a drier, less expensive and crispier burrito, I suggest Burrito Boyz which is three blocks east of Burro. At least if you forget while in your drunken daze, Burrito Boyz won't render your mouth unusable from a simple choice between mild, medium, or hot.
