Burrito Boyz in the Hood

Decided to pay Burrito Boyz a visit on my way to the ACC. Leafs pre-season tix, thanks seester! Stomachs were growling as we entered the underground famed burrito emporium on Adelaide, crowded with people waiting on their orders.

I got the chicken burrito, my bud Jay got the beef. I was happy to see them show some fish burrito love with both haddock and halibut choices on the menu. Deep fried of course, but too pricey for stink fish. Other fillings you could get were shrimp, some soy junk, veggie, the usual.

Chicken or beef? Who cares, both snotty

Had to wait a good 15 minutes to get the burritos finally. Glad I ordered just the small because it felt like a nice warm refried brick when it got to me. At about 6 bucks for the small, plus only a loonie for a can of coke, the prices were good concidering the size. Dont get a large unless you want to unload a nuclear fart bomb in a few hours.

The burritos are all heat pressed like a panini which is alriiiight I guess. Lot of places over-do it, and then you get the crusty tortilla that cant hug the insides as snugly as it should. Happened here, but it was expected. They do offer whole wheat, which is like ordering a diet coke with your McDonalds Meal.

Crusty crustiness

Salsa was not the greatest, looked store bought, and they didnt have any pico de gallo to go with it. No hint of cilantro or lime in the mix either which got me a bit sad. They also have some burrito sauce which is like a thinned out thousand island dressing. At this point, theres way too much goo in my poor burrito. Maybe the guacamole could save it? Nope. Shit looked like green baby food. From the pictures, you can see that the beef and chicken look and taste the same, lost in a sea of baby food and thousand island puke.

Burrito Boyz is not all that bad, and it will definitely fill you up, but thats about all its good for. What can I say, its a Canadian burrito joint with a z in their name. Authentic, Burrito Boyz is not, but what they lack in quality, they make up in quantity and farts.
