| - Cave Creek is in dire need of good Mexican. Unfortunately, Burritoholics will not be the savior. :(
DH and I stopped in yesterday on our way home from a hike. He had the pork burrito with a side of refried beans, and I had the steak burrito.
He liked the flavors in his pork burrito and the beans, however, the beans were $2 and served in a 3-ounce condiment cup. Probably all of about 1/4 cup of beans. And the burrito was hardly a meal.
My steak burrito was tragic. It was about half the size of his, barely filled, and rather tasteless. It was about the thickness of the $1 frozen burritos you get in the grocery store. I'm looking at the pictures posted on this listing, and what I got was NOTHING like the show plates. It was also SUPER dry, but again, that's because it was ALL tortilla, and virtually no filling.
Prices - ridiculous for the portion size. My burrito was $8.59, and should have been $4 for the size and quantity. Small fountain sodas are $2.79. !!. Two burritos, the side of beans, and two drinks was $25.
If you're thinking you're going to get a big fat burrito, which we expected, judging on the prices, you're going to be sadly disappointed. Filibertos, Rubios, Arriba - all serve huge stuffed burritos for less than the price here.
It's fast food, served VERY slowly (15 minute wait with only 2 people in front of us). Our orders came out 7 minutes apart, too. But the prices are in line with a sit-down meal and portion size. Huge disconnect all the way around.
Rather bummed, as we were looking forward to having a new go-to place in town. I understand they are opening a sit-down Mexican next door, which looked super cute (LOVED the flooring!), but after this experience, we won't even bother.
