BC BURRITO

BC BURRITO
HONOLULU, HAWAII

I ate at BC Burrito years ago when they first opened. Back then, I remember that it was terrible and never went back. The place has remained open for many years so I decided to give it another try. When you enter BC Burrito it seems like a mess. Attention to details or cleanliness is not a priority. Neither is customer service. We did not receive a "hi", "bye" or anything else. We approached the counter and looked up at the menu that is on the wall. All Burritos and one Taco option. You are supposed to select your filling (Chicken Mole, Chicken Bay Leaf, Carnitas, Chile Verde, Veggie, Carne Asada, Soyrizo or Shirmp) and then add your toppings. A Regular 10" Burrito is $6.29. Add $.50 for Cheese and $1.00 for Guacamole. The Gutbuster Burrito with two 12" tortillas will set you back $15. A Super Burrito in a 12" tortilla with cheese, rice, beans, filling and salsa is $7.29. We ordered a Regular Burrito ($6.29) with Chicken Bay Leaf. First off the burrito or Jalapeño Tortilla that we chose smelled terrible. The chicken tasted like it was just boiled. Very little flavor. After two bites I threw in the towel on this dog. The Carne Asada Taco ($4.49) consists of two overlapped 6" corn tortillas, beef, melted cheese, black beans and salsa. This taco should not have been served. The tortilla was so old that it was cracked in pieces. You could not pick up either end of the taco without the tortilla breaking apart. Never could get to eat this like a taco. We had to get a fork and pick out the Carne Asada that was more like stewed meat. It had flavor, but not like a Mexican restaurant. BC Burrito is not my favorite. It really has no Mexican flavors with the exception of the salsa. We bolted down the street after eating here to have a good lunch. Will never return to this place.

UPDATE 3/13 - BC BURRITO CLOSED. SOMETIMES I CALL EM RIGHT
