I called in Bar Burrito on a recent trip to Manchester, looking to try out a new place. After a…read morepleasant phone call experience regarding gluten free options available.
As described to me, this is basically like a Subway for Mexican food and burritos, but with the pricing of Marks and Spencer for food which is basically like the scrapings from the left over meal you give to your dog.
It is quite expensive here, and I don't think they took my allergy as seriously when I physically entered the store, although my server seemed okay, she could have done more to convince me it was a good place to eat for gluten free, like what happened on my phone call with the store.
I ordered a naked burrito with mild salsa, and some of the add-ons, honestly with the lack of a menu, with it being "Do you want this? That?", I basically didn't have a clue what I was ordering or getting, I actually though I was getting some sort of burrit, rather than something that looked like a pile of scraps worth pennies, rather than £8.75, without a drink!
The salsa was probably the only thing nice in the meal, and they wasn't a lot of it, the beans didn't taste very nice and the meat and combination of everything else, just simply tasted cheap and tacky and like scraps, and quite poor.
I also ordered some chips / nachos, which were okay but they also were not what I was expecting, I was expecting more like chips as on the menu, which adds to it being more confusing. I ordered cheese sauce for extra, and she said she would bring it over to me, but I had nearly finished my meal for when it arrived, and what I did taste of it, simply tasted cheap and sickly, which considering it was "freshly-made and straight out the pan" , that is unacceptable.
I certainly won't be rushing back here, or to any other branches in the future, with poor service, a confusing menu, low quality food and high pricing being the main reasons for the 1 star.
