The Burrito: Adobe Chicken Super Burrito
The Burrito-Builder: Hot Harry's Burritos
The Verdict: Well, it wasn't bad. It is the first burrito reviewed on the blog, so its a hard argument to win I suppose! Hot Harry's is a chain / franchise from the eastern seaboard, so far this is the first location I've seen this far west. I found the place on a whim, actually on my way to a Taco Bell, near the Lindale Mall area in Cedar Rapids. They offer about 8 burrito options, plus a few tacos. Meats range from Veggie alternative, to a lime steak, and the adobe chicken, plus several others. Pretty typical burrito building options; lettuce, cheese, rice [yet, not white rice!], beans [black or pinto], plus some pico and guacamole. The regular sized burrito runs about 6 dollars, and the super sized is about 7. Also, its assembled in the typical, watch me build it routine, behind a glass sneeze guard. Super burrito got us: one scoop of meat, one scoop of beans, two scoops of rice, a large spooning of sour cream and guacamole, and a hand tossing of cheese and lettuce. Salsa was available in a salsa bar area, with four different options on hand. The chicken was not flavored as deeply as I had expected, but was cut into very large chunks, which was a pleasant suprise! [Probably inch cubes before cooking]. The rice was also not the typical brown or white variety, but had been steamed with some sort of flavoring. Pinto beans were whole, and strained. They also advertise the salsa as being made fresh each day, and the order comes with some deep fried tortilla chips. All in all, not a bad eat! I'd guess the serving size to make a seven inch burrito, about four inches in diameter, on a flour tortilla.

ReplyDeleteI take it that you only want to find burritos in a downward fashion, or you are a dope.
