Burrito King

Everybody was pretty stoked on Burrito King except my brother. Turns out I kind of agreed with him. That's when everyone started saying stuff like, "yeah, but it's really good if it's 2 a.m. and you just need a burrito", and "yeah, but it's really good when it's 2 a.m. and you're really drunk." I guess it wasn't bad, just not what one might hope for from a spot in the heart of Echo Park.

Quality of meat (1-10): 5.3
The meat was super salty and didn't really have a great consistency. It was relatively chewy and was still way better than, like, Baja Fresh, but it was the main reason I didn't finish my burrito. Oh, and word is that their fish tacos are just a tortilla, a fish stick, and mayo.

Quality of house salsa (1-10): 4.1
The only salsa they had was this runny chipotle juice that was probably made months ago and frozen. I don't really even like chipotle.

Quality of guacamole (1-10): 4.1
There is a pretty hard line between fresh guac and the stuff that comes in a plastic bag.

Quality of chips (1-5): ?
Once again, not paying for chips.

Size/diversity of menu (1-5): 3.7
The Burrito King had a lot of stuff I had seriously never heard of, which is pretty awesome. Props to them for that. Maybe that's just a statement about how I don't live in Los Angeles.

Size of burrito (1-5): 2.3
Pretty small! Pretty small. Just compared to other burritos, though. It's still a lot of food.

Approximate price: $6.50

Locally owned? Yes

Overall (1-10): 7.3
