More like Wretched Burrito

Jennifer and I tried really bad food from Red Burrito the other day. I ordered a burrito combo, but instead I got what tasted like leftover burger meat (Red Burrito is co-branded with Hardee’s) wrapped in a dried-out tortilla. It came with plastic beans with cold cheese on top, and some very disagreeable “spanish rice.” It was served with love in a styrofoam to-go container which had the lid ripped off (and in the process, they managed to rip the styrofoam all the way down to the table — mmm, sanitary).

It gets worse. Jennifer ordered “nachos.” It’s very important for you to notice the scare quotes around “nachos.” I generally define nachos, at a minimum, as having chips with cheese on them. There was no cheese on these nachos. When we asked the people at the counter about the cheese, they said that they were out of it. How did the cold cheese get on my beans, then? Edit: They were out of guacamole too. Some nachos!

Red Burrito? More like Wretched Burrito.

  • Ted, it's too bad you had a bad experience at Red Burrito. I was there once, and was pleasantly surprised. But then again, I had warm, good food, and was very happy with their salsa selections. Hmm. But, we have pretty decent Mexican places here, so take ya pick, brother!

    I am so sorry you ate such horrible food, it kindof makes you wonder how they got into the business in the first place. Who actually ate their food?
