Ordered a carne asada burrito . It was ok, a little small but only 8 bucks. Most places charge 10-13 but much more packed. Not much meat and the only carne asada I ever ordered that had lettuce and sour cream. No guacamole but only two slices of avocado. Maybe it's their own thing. But seriously lacking in flavor and meat. The salsa rojo is good tho. But if I go back, highly unlikely, I would add refried beans and 86 the lettuce. Seriously. And no sour cream. I lived in AZ and new Mexico, and spent some time in Texas, I never had a burrito with lettuce. But for 8 bucks nowadays I don't expect much.
