No thanks.
Normally I try to go to a place a couple times before writing a review, but I don't want to go back.
I was feeling sick today (a wintery day after the students have left for the semester) and went looking for comfort food. Spicy food seemed like it'd be good for congestion, and I hadn't tried Torticas. Well, Torticas was closed, so I continued down Green Street to Burrito King. I remembered how the reviews were kind of mixed here on Yelp - either really high or really low - and decided to check it out.
The good: The server was quick and polite, and I had horchata right away. And a basket of chips, which were the best part of the meal. The prices are pretty much in line with a campus place, maybe a bit cheaper than some..
The rest: I tried to order a torta but I guess they didn't have any. I ordered the fajita burrito instead, because it's in the name and since I didn't see anything about cheese sauce in the description.
Comes out with cheese sauce. Smells kinda strange - almost like plastic? The veggies just taste weird and are not crisp at all. The meat is chewy and also has that weird taste that reminds me of plastic or chemicals. Cheese sauce is really no good - salty but not much else in terms of flavor.
I ate about a third of it, trying to make sure I didn't just get a bad bite or something, but it tasted strange and unappealing. Other than the weird flavor, it was pretty bland - and no hot sauce on the table at all, which is weird for a Mexican restaurant.
I like Taco Bell (sometimes) so the food smelling like chemicals isn't always even a deal-breaker. However, I also like Mas Amigos and Taco Loco for their cilantro and onion tacos and spicy flavors - and would definitely recommend them, or even Taco Bell, over Burrito King. If you like food like Mas Amigos and do not want the most midwesternized Mexican I've had, then don't go here.
