La Salsa

I know, I know, you already know it sucks. But how much?

Quality of meat: 3.9
The meat is somewhat flavorful, but sadly, it is the wrong flavor. It does not taste fresh at all and is intensely salty, as is the rest of the burrito.

Quality of house salsa: 6.3
They had one type that was reminiscent of the not-so-fresh-tasting Santa Fe Cafe salsa, somewhat sweet and clearly blenderized. La Salsa features 6-7 kinds of salsa. Most of them I consider to be crap. Thankfully, they did have pico de gallo, but if one could ever identify the taste of GMO tomatoes, it would have been with La Salsa's pico de gallo.

Quality of guacamole: 5.3
Well, it was really just avocado. It's hard to go wrong with straight avocado, but in the ranking of obviously GM foods, the avocado ranked #2. Not so flavorful.

Quality of chips (1-5) : 2.7
Again, not so fresh. The chips taste processed and don't go very well with the salsa or the burrito.

Size/Diversity of menu (1-5) : 1.6
La Salsa fails epically in this department. I can practically count the number of items on the menu on both my hands. And half the burritos don't even have beans in them, effectively turning them into wraps. Boooooooo.

Size of burrito (1-5) : 1.6
La Salsa fails equally epically here. The La Salsa burrito is perhaps the smallest burrito on this blog thus far. A burrito lover could eat two, that is, if they didn't taste so awful.

Approximate price (For a standard burrito) : $7-$8

Locally owned? (Y/N) : Noooo.

Satisfaction Factor (1-10) : 3.6
Even before the end of the burrito, you'll be thinking "Why did I bother?" This sentiment will last an hour or two, until you forget you ever ate it.

Overall taste (1-10) : 4.0
The burrito was just barely flavorful enough to save it from the 3.x and below range. Just barely. Still. Not worth it at all. They probably drown puppies, too.
