Burritos in the city, what you would expect but for too much $$$

by bostonian30something at Citysearch

The first thing that comes to my mind when I think burrito for lunch is cheap, so you can imagine my suprise when my Cajon chicken wrap came to $6.50. How was it? It was just OK, not much flavor but good "fill you up" eating. The problem is that Anna's (which is as prevelent as Boloco) has better burritos for less. Qdoba is just as expensive as Boloco and those are even less tempting taste wise. You would think that culinary experts could come up with a decent burrito. Check this place out if you are looking for "gourmet" wraps, but I have no idea how they pulled Best of Boston off in 2006. I will say, in closing, that the service (at the Federal St. location) was superb and the restaurant was the cleanest fast food location I have seen in Boston.

  • Pros: Service, cleanliness and availability
  • Cons: Just too expensive for what you get, bland UNINSPIRED burritos, there are better burrito places
