Los Coyotes - 3036 16th St.
Visited: 5/20/09
Ordered: Super Veggie Burrito
Cost:$7
Overall Description: A bit bland all around, but not a bad burrito. I am starting to think that my quest should almost be for the WORST burrito, as any taqueria in the Mission that can't pull off a veggie burrito should be exposed to the world.
Composition: (out of 5) 3 - Not bad, not great. Well wrapped, and tasty enough through out, although it could have used a bit more cheese, and lost the lettuce.
Ingredients: (out of 5) 3 - Again, nothing stellar, but it didn't taste wrong. Used guacamole instead of avocado, rice was tasty but a little dry, but overall it was a satisfying meal.
Size: (out of 3) 3 - Not the largest burrito I've had, but I was relatively full when I finished it and had enough for a small meal later, so it passed that test completely.
Taste: (out of 10) 6 - Not enough cheese, nothing especially grabbing about the ingredients, and lack of spice gives this a just above average rating.
Value: (out of 5) 3 - Could this burrito be any more average?
Total Score: (out of 28) 18 - I don't think I'll be visiting this place again unless it's the only thing open, but if I do end up here, it won't be a horrible mistake to eat here a second time.

Ordered: Super Veggie Burrito
Cost:$7
Overall Description: A good burrito - but not as good as I remember them being. Maybe its that I've gotten the Chile Relleno burrito here and really loved it, maybe it was the fact that it was cinco de mayo and they had plenty on their plates, I don't know. But while tasty, this burrito certainly didn't blow me away.
Composition: (out of 5) 4 - No complaints here, it stayed together just fine, each bite was delicious, and there was a fair amount of guacamole throughout. I've toyed with getting their California Veggie burrito and think I will eventually try that - that burrito is pretty loaded w. veggies and probably has more problems staying together.
Ingredients: (out of 5) 3 - Guac instead of avocado, the black beans were a little flavorless, and it wasn't the freshest burrito I've ever had, but things were good overall.
Size: (out of 3) 3 - A good size - I was starving when I bit into it, and I left just a little bit to save room for the margaritas and beer I was going to wash everything down with
Taste: (out of 10) 7 - Solid, tasty, but not "HOLY SHIT THIS IS GOOD!". I think I like their standard beans better then the black, but the rice had a lot of flavor to it.
Value: (out of 5) 4 - Nothing bad to say, and a bit cheaper then some of the other places, but I was a little dissapointed as I really remember this place being something special, and it was just good.
Total Score: (out of 28) 21 - Certainly a contender, but no El Farolito....
Additional Comments:They totally skimped on the chips, but we think that was because of Cinco de Mayo. I like their salsas a lot (i mix the green and red together usually).
