Not sure what all the fuss is about, I heard so many good things about Burritoville but I beg to differ. By definition tacos “ are a traditional Mexican dish comprised of a rolled, folded, pliable maize tortilla filled with an edible substance. A taco is normally served flat on a tortilla that has been warmed up on a comal; since the tortilla is still soft, it can be folded over or pinched together into a U-shape for convenient consumption. In the variant known as the taco dorado (fried taco), flauta (Flute in English, because of the shape), or taquito, the tortilla is filled with pre-cooked chicken or barbacoa, rolled into a cylinder and deep-fried until crisp.” wikipedia.org
This was “edible”, fresh, and definitely cheap by all means however I felt like the FDA had some kind of a crack down on burritoville. All the meats are boiled, leaving the chicken and beef flavorless, dry (ironically) with a mealy consistency. Both shells hard and soft where middle of the road generic tortillas, filled with boiled meat, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. I ordered a meal so it came with brown rice and black beans also very healthy tasting yet hot with some nice hot elements.
Definitely do not expect the traditional greasy, spicy, savory tacos one would expect at a taqueria in the Missions in SF. I know nothing compares to the delectable treats from the West Coast, and I hate to bring it up every time I review Mexican food, but once in awhile I would love to walk couple of blocks to fill my fix and not drag my ass to Brooklyn cheapassfood.com/eats/show/156 or Hells Kitchen cheapassfood.com/eats/show/56 . With that said if you’re looking for a health, low fat, low calorie, filling burrito/tacos w/out content they are very accommodating.
