Overview

It was a scramble squeezing in a burrito run during an early lunch break on a hot summer day in Denver. The Pants and I were greatly disappointed that the next place on our list was closed for a holiday. It was a last minute Hail Mary with only minutes to spare till we had to be back at work, but we found our way to Amigos Mexican Food in Centennial which delivered a smothered, wrapped, little donkey.

Detailed Breakdown

1Tortilla

6/10

Nothing fancy (or too Francie Pantsy). But intact. Wish it were steamed or warmed ahead of time.

2Use of Potatoes

7/10

As noted previously, potatoes were tender and folded into the rest of the contents nicely. Could have had some crispy outsides or some browned edges… but tasteful? Yes!

3Texture

7/10

The meat was beautifully folded into the hashed potatoes with green chili all mixed up in the tumble as well. Overall a somewhat monotonous texture.

4Flavor

4/10

This was the KICKER. Something about the eggs was off. It was a decent bite when you bit into the eggs mixed with all the cheese and tortilla and sour cream and green chili; however, when tasted alone, the eggs were awfully sulfuric and off-putting. Won’t speculate as to why, but something was off.

5General

6/10

As a whole this worked as a BB, but the flavor of the contents was fouled by the off-putting taste of the eggs. As an amateur BB-roller myself I speculate fresher eggs would help (but who am I?). Look forward to re-trying this BB and at least the chips and salsa were free.
