Hot Head Burritos

We got a coupon for this place and figured we'd give it a try being avid burrito lovers.

This place wants to be Chipotle so so bad but they really don't even come close.  The set up is just like Chipotle, but they have a lot of different options for sauces and you can add banana peppers or jalapenos. We knew before we walked out that the quality was just not going to be there.  We got a chicken burrito and a carnitas burrito along with chips, salsa, and guac just to get a good over all feeling for the place.

Portion sizes are smaller than the competition, the meat is not as flavorful, and it seemed like the guac was store bought and not fresh.  The portion of chips was small and they were nothing to scream about.  The worst part was that they charged extra for pico salsa on the side!  If I got it on my burrito it would have been free...just silly.

We brought our food home and after eating the food I felt like I needed to wash my mouth out with some Chipotle just to make it right.  There seems to be potential, but it just was not as good as the competition.  They offer a punch card for a free entre and seem to have a lot of deal day gimmick, but pricing is comparable to their competition.  I don't think that I would go back here even if we had a coupon.  Living right in the middle of Chipotle and Hot Head, I would choose Chipotle every time.

I will say that the service was fine and going in on a Tuesday night, there was no wait.
