Taco-Taqueria

This was a hungover hunt for a breakfast burrito.  and....they didn't have one.  In fact, they didn't have many options at all.  But, if I had to choose between a mediocre taqueria and subway.  Subway is TERRIBLE!!!.  


Ingredients:  I ordered the regular burrito, and they charged me for a super. The burrito only had rice, beans, beef, pico de gallo, and lettuce.  The options were only chicken or beef.

Size:  The size of their burritos are pretty good.  It's definitely a one man job.

Freshness:  For having a very limited menu, the food was pretty fresh.  I like the rice inside the burrito.  I actually enjoyed the lettuce but it felt just like filler.  The salsa was a watery, chipotle style which I also enjoyed.




Salsa bar:  No chips, not even a salsa bar.  They gave me a single cup of salsa and I usually go through at least 5 cups for a regular sized burrito, so I had to ration my portions of salsa.  I most likely will never visit the place again for that reason alone.  Salsa is very cheap to make, and it can appease so many hungry patrons.


Overall Taste:  I was more satisfied with the burrito than I thought I would have.  The tortilla was nice and thick, and the ingredients were pretty fresh.  But, no salsa bar, and general chincy feeling make me want to find a better option the next time I go up to South Lake Tahoe


Price:  The burrito is ~$6.00.   With no salsa, no chips, no carrots, just a styrophoam plate and a decent sized burrito, I don't recommend it.  It should be under $4


Other good menu items:  They really didn't have much on the menu.  I think they offered some tacos and I'm not even sure they offered nachos.
