erin says: Just what Madison needed, another Mexican grill, right?! It’s across the street from Panchero’s for heaven’s sake. I’d rate it higher than Panchero’s, definitely lower than Chipotle, maybe slightly lower than QDoba. At first, I liked it. But afterwards I didn’t feel so good. I had a barbacoa burrito with black beans, medium salsa (definitely will go with hot if there is a next time), lettuce, cheese, sour cream. I think that covers it. We also had some chips and cheese. Not nearly enough cheese. And the cheese tasted good, but had a weird consistency after it cooled. 4 out of 10.

Brian says: I ordered a burrito, and intended to order exactly the same thing as I do at Chipotle for comparison, but was unable to. I’m a big fan of the steak at Chipotle, so I was disappointed that ground sirloin was the only beef available at Burrachos. It’s a concept we’ve already experienced several times, and I can’t think of anything (price, location, taste, etc.) which would cause me to visit Burrachos instead of any of the other existing Mexican grills. 3 out of 10.

Mom says: I did the same thing as Brian – ordered what I would have gotten had I gone to Chipotle. I had a bol, with rice, pintos, and chicken. It was okay, but the beans were mushed almost to the consistency of refried beans, and it was a bit more spicy than I like. I’ve never been to Panchero’s, so can’t compare those two, but I’d go out of my way to go to Chipotle instead of Burrachos. The place hadn’t been open for very long, and I was hoping for some kind of “special” on the first visit, but no such luck. Not bad, but not great either. 4 out of 10.
