| - Two years ago, I happened to come across this particular Fat Bastard burritos. At the time, I had only just moved into the city and always had a mental reminder to eat there. 2 years later, and I'm finished School, I have new friends and I've all but left my previous life behind. Today I walked an unusual path and came across this place. Remembering my old promise to myself I thought I'd give it an honest shot.
It was smaller than I thought. Enough room for you to get your food and get out. I've never eaten at a Fat Bastards before so I didn't get much time to really absorb most of their menu. I opted for the basic chicken burrito, and decided on the "huge" size. Their topping selection was fairly basic for a burrito joint. Though I noticed that they had doritos available as "crunchies", which I assumed were to add a bit of a crisp. I wasn't too sure how I'd feel about that so I left it alone. I asked for hot sauce and the employee made sure I meant hot sauce. Then he asked if I'd ever tried it before. When I said "no", he instinctively grabbed a dorito and squeezed a droplet of the sauce on it. I smirked and took the bite.
Now, I'm a Sri Lankan dude, and so when I insist on one thing in this universe, it's that I will drench everything in the hottest sauce I can find. That being said, this drop of hot sauce punched me right in the throat. I definitely wasn't expecting it. "Medium instead?" the employee offered to which I nodded in defeat.
I took the burrito home and nestled into my couch with a beer and Netflix at the ready. It was a little more chewy than I would have hoped. I think the employee added more beans than I would have preferred. This resulted in a chalky texture that permeated throughout the rest of the burrito. Occasionally small pops of spice would crackle through but I can't help but wonder if the hot sauce would have been so bad if I ate it with the rest of the burrito. Either way, the spice wasn't to my satisfaction, but I have myself to blame for that.
I do intend on coming back again. Though I noticed a Burrito Boys right across the street. I've had really good experiences there before. The parking area also seemed a lot better, which to mention right now, was a nightmare to exit from. The parking area for the plaza was tiny. So small that backing out of a parking spot essentially put you on the main road. On the queensway. And at rush hour, this was far more of an ordeal than it should have been. Still, not entirely a deal breaker, but definitely not something fun to deal with every time I want to eat a burrito from them.
All in all, decent food. Good service. I appreciate the employee taking the time to ask me about the hot sauce and give me a free sample just to be sure. Though I'm unsure of whether or not eating a drop of it on a small nacho exemplifies how it would taste while masked with a dozen other ingredients. Either way, recommended.
