I gave bandit burrito a three star rating for several reasons. The restaurant itself is very nice. The building is new and has a nice décor. The service I received while visiting the restaurant was outstanding. I walked in the door and before I approached the counter the “chef” was already helping me. I told him that I had never been to bandit burrito before so he had me sample some of the gourmet ingredients from behind the counter. While this was an awesome gesture I honestly didn’t taste anything that knocked my socks off. I was able to sample some watermelon salsa that I felt was pretty bland. It tasted like spicy, crunchy, water.
I ordered a shredded beef burrito on a jalapeño cheddar tortilla with black beans, cheese, peppers and onions. I was really excited about the different flavors of tortilla until I actually had the opportunity to eat my burrito. The flavor of my burrito was really bland. The tortilla itself really didn’t do anything for the taste of my burrito. I ordered this burrito for the simple reason that it’s very similar to the burrito I order from Panchero’s. The Panchero’s version of this burrito is better, way better. While Bandit Burrito has a fantastic array of ingredients and food options I wasn’t impressed with my selection. I will take some responsibility as to how my burrito tasted simply because I created it. I do have to say that I expected more taste with the “gourmet” ingredients.
Outstanding service and the friendly atmosphere has me feeling like I need to give this place a second chance. If I have a better experience the second go round I will leave a better review.
