"they actually gave big portions with the Burrito Bowl that i ordered as delivery. Way bigger portions than the chipotle in goleta. the queso was still fresh and warm and everything was seasoned. "
"Burrito was cold when I got it, which is understandable and easy fix, but also had big piece of underripe, inedible avocado. (Seriously big, approx. 1/4 of an avo). Took that out, lost a lot of weight from the burrito and most of the guac I paid extra for. Disappointing all around. "
