| - Oh, Phat Burrito, there was so much hype about you from the other reviewers and we had so much hope from you... Sorry to say that I was utterly disappointed.
To begin with, I don't like not having the option to choose how my burrito is made. I like looking over the bar, picking out things I want and leaving out things I don't want. Instead, here they just take your order at the counter and ask if you want any extras, guac / sour cream or if you are okay with lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. This isn't a burger place, no burrito place asks if you want lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. Also, they don't have any pico-de-gallo or salsa to add to the burrito by the kitchen. When I asked, they said I could pick it up from the salsa bar. Sure I can, for the chips. But if I want it in my burrito, am I supposed to unroll the whole burrito, add salsa and then roll it back up?
I had the steak burrito with guac, my boyfriend ordered chicken. The steak wasn't flavorful at all. It tasted like it was never marinated, nor grilled, just boiled. Also, the rice was overcooked with too much water, making it close to mushy and my burrito lacked flavor, spice, and tang and honestly, I didn't enjoy a single bite of it. The chicken was alright.
The last thing that ticked me off was that they had my boyfriend's burrito (part wrapped in foil, part naked) sitting on the serving counter, tortilla touching the counter top, while they picked out two plates to put the burritos on.
Both of us left the place unhappy with our lunch and had to head to Central Coffee to get some consolation chai. Sorry Phat, but we won't be back.
