El Farolito (24th & Alabama)

El Farolito - 2950 24th St
Visited: 6/13/10

Ordered: Super Vegetarian Burrito
Cost:$6ish

Overall Description: I had high hopes for this alternate location of El Farolito, and it did not disappoint. A hefty burrito filled w. tasty ingredients that definitely satisfied!

Composition: (out of 5) 3.5 - I did like the makeup of this burrito, but a few things were a little less then perfect. It was the most evenly distributed burrito I've ever had - meaning each bit was somewhat similar to the last. Also, they always wrap their burritos with these HUGE tortillas, meaning there's a chunk of tortilla you have to work around. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it's not perfect.

Ingredients: (out of 5) 4 - Good, not mind-blowing. They do use lettuce, but sparingly.

Size: (out of 3) 3 - A great size - ate a little more then half and then finished the rest the next morning

Taste: (out of 10) 8 - A damn tasty burrito! I wish it had a little more spice to it, but for the most part this thing tastes great. The beans and rice have a lot of flavor, there's the right amount of cheese and sour cream, and it is satisfying.

Value: (out of 5) 4.5 - A good value, and off the beaten path just a little bit.

Total Score: (out of 28) 21 - Another solid entry!

Additional Comments: The interior of this location is friendlier then the Mission Street one. The chips were pretty stale and the salsas were not especially exciting either, but the food was prepared quick and tasted very good.
