Red Burrito

I'd heard good things in passing about Red Burrito, on the southwest corner of Commercial and 1st in Vancouver, but finally had the chance to try it out today.

There's a joke about fast food that you can choose any two of fast, good, and cheap. Red Burrito is a place where you get all three.

The place is small, but very functional. Lots of nice small bar height tables as well as eating bars along the windows.

The service is excellent - the two people behind the counter worked harder than the entire line in any fast food place you'd care to name.

The menu is nice and simple too - burrito & burrito fajita (with peppers and onions instead of beans) are the main two items. They also had taco bowl salads and a couple other items.

In order to keep their business model simple, what you pay depends on the meat you choose. You make your choice of item, decide which meat you want (chicken, beef, veggie, etc), and then you get your toppings/fillings.

And how is the food? Excellent. I had a burrito fajita with chicken and guacamole (extra charge for guac - and here a sidebar rhetorical question: why is guacamole always extra? It's not like avocados are that expensive). It was very big and left me quite stuffed.
