I ate at Pineda once. My meal left a bad after taste. I'm not sure if I have the courage to try the place again.
Hello, I will be rating on bites in a burrito system. Seventeen bites would be a perfect burrito so 1-17.
Staff: The staff was good I obviously had never been there before and looked it but they were very nice and helpful and didn’t seem annoyed that I didn’t know what I was doing.
Atmosphere: I liked the atmosphere. They were playing very cheesy Latin music, mariachi stuff, stuff that makes you want to do a hat dance. One thing I really liked is that there were a lot of other Latin folks and families there. I don’t know if that necessarily makes it authentic but it can’t hurt right? So I liked the atmosphere.
General Look: The place wasn’t super clean but it wasn’t super dirty either it looked pretty family(ish), or lived in. It is located in an old Pizza Hut and it is pretty obvious, in fact I found that it is highlighted on a website dedicated to making fun of restaurants that have changed over and don’t look good (www.notfoolinganybody.com). So the place made me laugh.
Cheapness: I ordered a small (Chipotle sized I say small because they had bigger ones which I’ll get to) burrito and it was like $4.50 so very cheap. They also had a free salsa bar, so I thought the price was very reasonable.
After effects: None it has been 24 hours no sickness, although it was a little heavy for a pre-game meal (we played football right after).
Food: I thought the food was good I liked the burrito it was not carintas from Chipotle but I liked it more than the steak from Chipotle. At the salsa bar they had this great green salsa it was awesome I really liked that.
Company (an excuse to tell funny stories): Scott decided to try the double burrito and it was huge it was like thirty percent bigger than mine it was so big I could not stop laughing…
So bottom like I would give it 14 bites out of 17. I really liked it, but it might not be for everyone.
Happy Tacos
Caleb

I never had heard of a burrodote until I ordered the behemouth of a burrito with cow tongue (aka burrodote de lengua). And boy did it speak to me...I think that it tasted good, however, I was so voraciously hungry that I may have failed to remember its sabor (flavor). The price is right, the salsa bar is great, and I would most def return to the Pineda #2 formerly known as Pizza Hut.
