Burrito Boyz

How does a fast food joint get so high on this list? It's simple. They do one thing, and they do it classy. They avoid the twin pitfalls of stuffing their burritos with mostly rice, and of using cheap ingredients in general. Never before Burrito Boyz have I known the pleasure of perfectly deep fried halibut in thin batter in a burrito. Other options for filling include beans, properly cooked chicken (as opposed to the ossified mess most often found in fast food joints), and veg (green peppers and tomatoes with good cheddar barely melted). They toast our burrito to crispy after garnishing it to order with competent guacamole, rice, peppers, tomato, fresh jalapenos, refried beans, Monterey Jack cheese and creamy/sharp burrito sauce. Salsas come in mild - pico de gallo, green sauce, and tomato, exciting - jalapeno, and mouth-searing - their own hot sauce made from Scotch bonnet peppers
