After drinking heavily nearby I wanted to grab super quick takeaway that I knew would be filling and flavorful - Mexican food is usually my go to at home, so I was excited to spot Mission Burrito near my flat in Bath.
The line moves super quickly (it'a one of those build-your-own places, like just walk up to the glass case of food and choose your dish, your fillings, your extras, and they slap it all together right in front of you) despite a queue, so there's that. Unfortunately, the people who work here aren't exactly the friendliest people in the world... but they do roll a mean burrito (which I prefer over a friendly person who rolls a loose burrito where all the guts fall out of the bottom on the first bite).
I went with a large burrito (yes, they offer "small" and "large"), which is a standard sized burrito back in the States, and asked if I could get their special - black bean and butternut squash chipotle chili - as my filling. The No-Nonsense Burrito Maker warned that it would be too wet, but I like to live dangerously so I went with that and extras like lettuce (no charge), sour cream (no charge), cheese (extra charge), and guacamole (double charge because I asked for more then she put on). Total price? £15. Oof. Definitely the most money I've spent on a burrito.
And was it filling? Yes. Did it help sop up the gin in my system? Definitely. But was it flavorful? Not really. The majority of the burrito ended up being rice - I guess I didn't realize how much she had put on, but every bite was dominated by it. If I could do it all over again, I would ask for no rice - weird I know, but that way I could actually taste the flavors of the other ingredients I got charged for! read more
