I have noticed in the past that restaurants tend to have just one breakfast burrito that they serve, like a signature item. I feel like they will either have the one burrito, or they will open the menu up for a 'create your own burrito' type deal. This place, however, had two breakfast burritos to choose from, along with omelets, pancakes, and all other types of breakfast items. This tallied points right off the bat, ensuring that I will eventually return to try the other breakfast burrito. They have outside seating, although pigeons will occasionally attack you and your food, hence the water bottles on each outdoor table. Kind of fun, but got old quick. The burrito that I got was called:
BOMBERO BURRITO
Price: $8.99
Table Hot Sauce: Tobasco, Pepper Plant
Ingredients:
Inside Burrito - Ham, Sausage, Bacon, Eggs, Mushrooms, Onions, Chives
Outside Burrito - Salsa, Potatoes, Topped with Sour Cream, Diced Tomatos.
Presentation was alright, I mean, this burrito is MASSIVE, which is always a good thing. If you're going to serve a dinky burrito, it had better be insanely delicious. It just has to. Well, after digging in, I found that although the ingredient lineup sounded spectacular, the burrito itself was quite plain tasting. All of the ingredients seemed to be in the wrong spots - it was all combined so that every bite included all of the delicious tastes found on the plate. I can normally finish a breakfast burrito that I've started, however I did not completely finish this one, and not out of a full stomach. Just didn't do the job for me.
As I was forced to mash the ingredients together myself, topping the now-scramble with Pepper Plant a la muchos, there were hints of a great burrito there, if they could just combine it all correctly. This place is a breakfast joint, though I get the feeling that they are known more for their pancakes and/or waffles then their breakfast burritos. An awful shame.
Rating: **** (4 out of 10)
I'll go back for the other burrito, but in definite due time. Hopefully they put a little more effort into it the next time around.
