My friend who'd just moved to Toronto from Calgary treated me for lunch at this place; I'd heard many good things about the food, so I was excited to try it out.
Let me first say though, that I have yet to find a really tasty burrito. Burrito Boyz failed to impress. After three tries and various combinations, it still hasn't wowed. I'm still wondering what the fuss is about. But I digress.
Back to Quesadas...
A narrow space on the corner of Wellington and John which outlines their ordering procedure on the far end of the wall prior to the assembly of burritos.
I ordered a small spicy chipotle chicken (hot) ($5.35) which claimed to be "tender chicken marinated in our own spicy chipotle heat". I must confide...there was no heat in this whatsoever.
The hot sauce helped some...but I still wanted the flavour to come from within the burrito. Is that too much to ask? Thank goodness for sauces!
My friend ordred the Chile-lime shrimp, "burrito in the buff" which is the burrito minus the tortilla. AKA, a salad.
And a Tango Mango Odwalla drink:
Fully packed during lunch, the burritos must be impressing some people. My quest for a tasty burrito however, continues...
