The first of our, "maybe you don't want to go here for burritos" burritos. Sub-par tortilla wrapped around ingredients that tasted like they were manufactured to taste good, but somehow didn't. The jalapeños were likely the high point of the whole thing. We were so excited about the super special ingredient in this burrito (tater tots, that is) that a mountain of tater tots was purchased along with the burritos. Behold, as Isaac stuffs his mouth with an astounding 21 tater tots!
Ratings: Ben - Accidentally running a red light, but there are no cops around. Daniel - Reading a wikipedia article to keep from being bored at work, it's better than falling asleep at your desk. Isaac - Wet cardboard, it's about that exciting. +Tots - Tummy ache, Like watching a man put 22 tots in his mouth, Going to see an unimpressive national monument
Burrito Quest is all about...stamina. We (Ben, Isaac, and Daniel) ate our way through the Specialty Burrito menu at Santa Fe Grill, a fast food eatery located inside Pic Quik convenience stores in Las Cruces, New Mexco. This list is a good 60 burritos long, and it took us all of 2009, and a quarter of 2010.
Along the way we met and (we like to think) befriended a burristro who we named Salsa Bro. Toward the end of our quest, Salsa Bro was unceremoniously fired for, rumor has it, giving free burritos to pretty ladies. What man wouldn't, we ask you?
And so, our primary quest finished, we pushed on, searching the Land of Burritos (Las Cruces, NM burrito-serving establishments) for our old friend. Alas, though we searched wherever one would hope to find a Burrito Maestro handing out free burritos to hot chicks, he was not to be found.
But primary failure did not stop us. There were still burritos to be had, and to have our way with. Burritos HOOOOOO! We picked up the pace a bit, embarking on BQ3: Triple Trek! Flipping back and forth, hitting up establishments only open at lunch, frequenting Mesilla burrito-holes, and interspersing them both with palate-cleansing Taco Bell. Did we survive? Yes. The Quest, however, we failed.
And so a new quest begins. Ben, now making his home in the land of vegetarianism, invites Daniel to take a journey through this magical bowel-cleansing realm. Together they set out on a bold new endeavor, to eat burritos of the meatless kind. One vegan, one meatan(?), the walk a lonely road: Twelve Vegetarian Burritos for 2012!
