perfect burrito begin......
#1. The Wal-Mart Supercenter Burrito: (This idea came to me on my third burrito; so the first two are a
couple back tracks). This one was from the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Murphreesboro TN. They were 2
for a dollar and were pretty big. Here are the ratings:
C/T: 1
S: 2
T: 4
I: 5 No MSG at all!
F: 3
CH: 2
Value: 5
These burritos surprised us because they were at Wal-Mart and they had no MSG in them or anything
sketchy at all. I can't remember the name of them, but will no doubt run across them again. I didn't
actually like these burritos, they tasted very bland with an odd consistency - probably because there
were no chemicals involved.
#2. Patio Burrito. I can't remember where we bought these or how much they cost. Ratings are a little
lacking.
C/T: 4
S: 5
T: 5
I: Unknown
F: 5
CH: 5
Value: Unknown
The Patio burrito has by far been the best burrito we have encountered thus far. This burrito had a red
sauce in it that actually was spicy! That is the first time I have ever been able to say that about a burrito
in my life. It's tortilla came out of the microwave crunchy at points and was very good. Also, it was quite
cheesy - I may have found the perfect burrito so early in the quest - but alas I do not remember where I
bought it.
#3. Tina's Spicy Bean & Cheese Burrito. We bought these in Los Banos, CA at the Food 4 Less for 28
cents a piece. I got 2 bean & cheese and Sarah got a chicken and a beef or some sketchy shit like that.
C/T: 4
S: 2 Very low since they advertised Spicy and there was no spice at all.
T: 4
I: 3 No MSG - lots of hydrogenated oils
F: 4
CH: 3
Value: 5 28 cents for 5 oz.!!!
These burritos tasted normal, but a few hours later my guts were rockin and reeling. No spice to speak
off and generally very poor digestive qualities. The first GUTBUSTER - buyer beware.
#4. Southwestern Trails Bean & Cheese Burrito self-proclaimed "The best in the west". This one comes
from the Flying J in Twin Falls ID.
C/T: 5 very firm beans after micro
S: 5 another burrito with the spicy internal red sauce - not quite as good as patio - but better than norm
T: 4
I: 4 long list - but mostly natural - no MSG no Hyrogen - probably something bad that we haven't heard
ofF: 5
CH: 3 not too much cheese to speak of
Value: 2 - 2.19 for 10 oz - 2.19 for a burrito?!
This burrito is actually quite good - it wasn't the same Flying J b&c as what was more west (which i
missed a sample of) this one is the big 10 oz and we were surprised by it's distinct flavor - also very
safe looking ingredients - but what is a modified food starch. I dunno man it's a 2 dollar burrito that
tastes good and fills ya up - also no gutbuster after a few hours (even with a handful of Icehouses karl).
#5. Lynn Wilson's Quality Bean and Cheese Burrito with Green Chilles
C/T: 4
S: 4 plenty of green chille spice - living up to it's name
T: 4
I: 5 - very simple list of ingredients
F: 5 great mix with the chilles
CH: 3 - really not a lot of cheesiness going on inside here
Value: 4 2 burritos for 89 cents (5 oz)
The Lynn Wilson's Quality burrito boasts the best ingredients on it's wrapper and states they have been
making the best burrito since 1938. I did the 2 for .89 (one with green chille and one plain) from
Albertson's in Idaho Falls. Although this brand is by far the best burrito I have come across, it still isn't
so bad.
#6. Lynn Wilson's Quality Bean and Cheese Burrito
C/T: 4
S: 3 - not much spice at all here
T: 4
I: 5
F: 4 - mild green chille flavor in this burrito
CH: 3 very poor on cheese
Value: 4 - 2 5 oz burrito .89
This one had the exact same list of ingredients as it's proclaimed green chille brethren - but maybe just
not as much green chille. This was a basic bean and cheese burrito - pretty boring actually.
#7. Don Miguel's Bean and Three Cheese Burrito
C/T: 5
S: 3
T: 5 - very fresh tasting tortilla
I: 5 - all natural with a great selection of vegetable and 3 cheeses!!
F: 5 - great mix of cheese and peppers
CH: 5 - very nice blend of cheese throughout the burrito
Value: 3 7 oz for 1.99 Gourmet burrito
This one breaks the tradition a little because it was not actually a frozen burrito -- it was in the cooler,
wrapped in a paper sort of wrapper. A very classy burrito; and it lived up to it's expectations. It was
lacking in spiciness, but made up for it in flavor. A little taxed though poor value.
#8. Deli Express San Luis Bean & Cheese Burrito
C/T: 3 - crunchy beans weird reddish filling
S: 1 - nothing going on in here - these could be prepared for Burrito night at the senior's center
T: 4
I: 4 - long list but nothing that stands out
F: 2 - I did not enjoy eating this burrito.
CH: 2 - no cheese but plenty of crunchy bean
Value: 3 10 oz for 1.79
This is it - The Captain is dedicated to trying all bean & cheese burritos and I mean all. I went into this
subject apprehensively: Deli Express pretty much says it all. This brand is found in gas stations all over
the place and are well known for their sandwiches as well as burrito. I got to say they did not let me
down; this is by far the worst burrito i have had period. I have just ate it here at the Flying J in Gillete
WY and am very much hoping we do not have another Gutbuster.
#9. Marquez Bean & Cheese Burrito
C/T: 4 - nice mix of whole beans and refried beans
S: 2 - very low spice - just enought to gain a 2
T: 3 - Chewy tortilla
I: 4 - good
F: 4 - a flavorful burrito regardless of the poor cheese content and spice
CH: 3
Value: 5 - 5 oz for .37 cents!!!
We picked this one up at the HyVee in Rochester MN on our way to Alpine Valley. Overall, I was pleased
with this burrito - but I'm not exactly sure why - it had poor cheese and wasn't spicy, also it had a chewy
tortilla... but it tasted damn good and sure fits our budget!!!

Mike's Frozen Burrito Review
The rating is on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being
the best) and it splits into 7 categories:
Consistency/Texture: How does the burrito
hold together.
Spiciness: How spicy it is - especially if spice
is referred to on the packaging.
Tortilla: How well the tortilla holds up after
microwaving. Hate slimy or over chewy
tortillas.
Ingredients: How healthy or chemical the
ingredients are. Trying to avoid MSG and
Hydrogenated Oils.
Flavor: Obvious. I like my burritos with cheese
melted on top of them and with hot sauce; but
this category is rating on the flavor of the
burrito alone.
Cheesiness: How cheesy is this "Bean and
Cheese Burrito.
Value of the Burrito: This is a basic oz to $
ratio or something - but as we are learning
cheaper is usually not the better burrito.
Watch out for the GUTBUSTER burrito.
No Bueno... Here are the burritos I have so far.
