| - The burrito is my favourite American fast food invention; if I am not mistaken, it was invented in California. I believe the Mexican burrito is much simpler and smaller than the ginormously, filling burrito prepared in North America.
I've had burrito at Freshwest Grill, Chipotle and Steamrollers (which I much later discovered is a Vancouver creation of a transplanted San Francisco guy). For a fast food item, I have ridiculously high expectations of it.
I liked that this location was not busy on a Saturday lunch time(then again, most people were out having brunch, and not been up for 5 hours already).
I ordered the steak burrito, thinking it was the grilled sirloin streak as served in Freshwest. No, it was shredded meat. And I didn't catch it until it had already been served, along with the rice and beans. I apologized to the guy behind the counter preparing it, and told him that was not what I had in mind. He was super cool about it and he started from scratch again. This time, I ordered the spicy chicken, spicy and mild sauce, and diced tomatoes and cheese. I was disappointed in the selection of items. It just seemed less, or they simply don't have grilled veggies like Chipotle and Freshwest Grill do.
Since I was going to have a busy afternoon, I decided to make it a large, combo burrito. I mistakenly thought I would get guacamole with the chips so I skipped it in my burrito. Nope, it's regular sauce. But no biggie. That was my own omission!
The actual burrito ended up being spicier than what I normally have the other 2 mentioned locations! Despite that, the flavour is different. It's less flavoursome. I didn't like it.
While it wasn't to my satisfaction, the staff is very good and very accommodating.
