My first Berkeley burrito since moving up here! Is a monstrous failure!
Quality of meat (1-10) : 2.8
By far the poorest quality meat of any burrito in my own recent memory. It's chewy, even a little bit slimy, and one in three pieces is straight up gristle. Worse than Vallarta.
Quality of salsa (1-10) : N/A
THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY FUCKING SALSA. How the hell you gon' have a taqueria with NO SALSA? El Sombrero "Taqueria" is heretofore dubbed NOT a real taqueria. Shameful.
Quality of guacamole (1-10) : ?
Sooo...I paid extra for guacamole. $1.30. And they didn't give me any. Enough said.
Quality of chips (1-5) : 3.6
The chips are okay, albeit very salty. I like salty chips, though. This is, however, nullified by the fact that there WASN'T ANY GODDAMN SALSA TO DIP THEM IN. On second thought, the chips just taste like Tostitos.
Size/Diversity of menu (1-5) : 2.2
They offered a few kinds of burritos, including a veggie burrito, a chile relleno burrito, and a "supreme" "burrito", which, strangely enough, DID NOT INCLUDE SALSA. Thus it is neither supreme nor a burrito. They do offer a fair amount of Indian food, though.
Size of burrito (1-5) : 4.0
Not that it matters, because you won't want to finish it.
Approximate price (For a standard burrito) : $6-7
Locally owned? (Y/N) : Probably. But seriously, it doesn't matter. They aren't making money.
Satisfaction Factor (1-10) : 2.5
I didn't have the motivation to eat more than half this burrito.
Overall taste (1-10) : 2.6
