Fringe Burrito

Burrito with Chips (with a side of Southern Fried Tofu Strips) from the Mondragon Bookstore & Coffee House for lunch. It's always good, but today was particularly good. Downtown winds managed to blow a bunch of the chips off my plate as I walked back to work, but that's the way she goes.

Hats Off to Half Pints

Harvest Burrito (vegan optioned) from the Royal Diner on Albert for lunch.

It was allright... but my pint of St. James Pale Ale was more filling. This burrito needs more carbs and less lettuce filler.

Yammy

Harvest Burrito (veganized) with a side of Yam Fries from the Royal Dinner. It was a yammy affair.

Naucamole

I went to the Taco Time on Marion Street for a quick veggie burrito after work. "Extra guacamole please," I requested. "We don't carry guacamole anymore," the till person responded.
To which I replied "well, cancel my order then". Last time they said they were out. But refusing to carry guacaole at all? That's a deal breaker. I'll never visit that Taco Time again.

They're Triangles... Not Strips

Burrito with Chips (with a side of Southern Fried Tofu Strips) from the Mondragon Bookstore & Coffee House for lunch. As a small bonus, I brought my own plate for the to-go order, so I got 10% off. Thumbs up.

A Bean and Cheese Burrito, no cheese, with guacamole, from Casa Burrito on Portage.

I was going to go for the Southern Spiced Soy, but they were out.

Unconventional stuff. Broken tortilla chips in the burrito. Molasses in the beans. And toasted in the oven for a crispy outer layer.

Really? Really.

California Burrito, no dairy, with guacamole, from Don Pedro's Mexican Grill for lunch. To go.

Strike 1: They put cheese on it so they had to remake it while I sit and wait.

Strike 2: They're out of "big" containers so they had to dice it up and use multiple, smaller containers.

Strike 3: I noticed when I got back to work that they forgot to give me guacamole, even though the server who handed me the bag explicitly told me there was guacamole in one of the containers.

Strike 4: I returned to Don Pedro's, and after opening all 3 containers and verifying I am not lying about not receiving guacamole, I get this tiny container relayed from the kitchen. $2.99 for that little container of guacamole? Really? And it's not even particularly good guacamole...

I'd like to think it was a one time thing, or that they are getting into the groove of opening a new restaurant, but these things seem to happen every time I go there. For all the hassle at a cost of $17 and change, this isn't exactly something I am going to subject myself to again anytime soon.
