Burrito Boy

Ok Mexican but not as good as taco express on centennial.

Not a bad place to grab a quick Mexican meal. Very casual & best for nachos or burritos. Not a great place for a anything other than a quick meal. Definitely not a place for a good sit down meal.

The Tax Deduction (my kid) and I were heading down to the Eugene area to visit family.  At lunch time we dediced to head out and grab some burritos for everyone, the nephew asked where I wanted to go and  I requested a small, local unknown to me place.  He suggested Burrito Boy, and off we went.

This restaurant sits in a line with some heavy hitters like a McDonalds, a beloved barbecue place, a Taco Bell and others.  It had people in it chopping on their lunches so this place much measure up I thought to myself.  It was small inside and a small menu too, but this not always a bad thing, pick one thing you do and do it well and the people will come (thanks to Gordon Ramsey for that jewel of an idea).

We ordered a variety of meaty burritos but mine was the carne asada.  The nice thing about Burrito Boy (which was staffed by all girls for some reason) is that they have different levels of Burrito, you can get it regular, wet, Burrito Boy and Supreme, each with different levels of ingredients in them.  I got the Boy, beans, cheese, lettuce, tomoato, onion and the carne asada.    With bags of rolled up tortillas we headed back to the house.

It was a very good burrito, the carne asada was okay, but just that, okay.  I think the marinade could use some extra citrus and garlic (yes, I do make my own marinade for carne asada at home, so I am an expert) but the flavor was there.  Coming from Portland area and having dined at Muchas Gracias I have to admit they kick Burrito Boy's young butt, better ingredients and less money ($5.75 for this one).  However it was not bad, the service was nice and friendly and the place was clean.
