a taqueria

This taqueria has a nice location on the corner of University and Shattuck. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, and it isn’t much better inside. They offer burritos, enchiladas, nachos, and a couple other Mexican dishes. The way ordering works is that you tell them what you want, such as a normal or special burrito. Then you point out to them which beans and meat you want. They offer a pretty large variety, with multiple types of chicken, beef, and pork. The burrito turned out to be pretty huge, and was very filling. The pork I got with my burrito was quite tender, though a little too fatty at some points. They could have put more guacomole I felt, but it was still good. It comes with some nachos, and you can get salsa through a ketchup-like bottle, which was pretty neat. Although the salsa wasn’t very good, especially when you consider the fact that Cancun is rather nearby.

If you want a very fast burrito for an OK price, then you this isn’t too bad a place to go. The burritos are big, if rather salty, and will make you full. Nothing too remarkable.

What I ate:
  • ***

    A very large burrito, and comes with rice, choice of beans, choice of meat, and guacomole. It a spicy tinge to it, but it wasn’t too spicy to me. The meat turned out more tender than I thought, which was a pleasant surprise.
