Burrito grilled chipotle

The Grilled Burrito of Cantina Chipotle is filled with grilledsteak, Seasoned rice, black beans, creamy chipotle sauce, purple cabbage, iceberg lettuce and Pico de Gallo. On all burritos, we tried Taco Bell, it certainly ranks high. The pretty chipotle sauce with rice giving it a creamy texture without overwhelming you with sauce. There were also many more fresh vegetables than your typical article of Taco Bell and felt more tied with chipotle burritos. We liked the cabbage crisis and it finally freshed more than a regular fast food burrito.

Chicken box enchilada nachos

The enchilada nachos chicken box came with heavy amounts ofcheese, the perfect doll of the sour cream and a delicious red taco sauce on top, which tastes incredible together. We also had a perfect amount of shredded chicken at the top of our chip mountain.

Ranch bowl

This stadium style tray with one side of chips and guac was a huge lowering. The "bowl" itself consists of a grilled chicken with homestyle hope (onion, garlic, pepper and chili punch), black beans, violet cabbage, iceberg and Pico de Gallo all served on seasoned rice and garnished A Ranch Sauce Lawyer. The bowl itself costs $ 5.49; For an extra dollar, you can trade in a grilled steak and another dollar, you can add a big drink.

Even if the bowl had fresh ingredients, they were Soggy and limping compared to the freshness we've experienced grilled burrito in Chipotle. The bowl also came with chips andguacamole, which has not impressed either. The guac was too bland and aqueous, and we preferred to eat the chips alone.

Cocktails

These blazed frowns were delicious. The punch was a little too sweet; We found it difficult to finish everything. The sweetness hidden dangerously the two rum shots we ordered, so we have everything we could have the taste of artificial cherry flavor.

The Cantina Margarita had an agave wine that was added, but he tasted very hard and had shades of tequila. A classic taste and a happy order will command again.

However, our favorite was the frozen rosé Berry. The texture was gaseous like soda and had a perfect balance of sweet and bitter rosé tones. Each jelly turn was perfectly mixed, but if you leave it sitting too long, frozen ice andalcohol start separating.

The drinks cost $ 7.69 each, and these were heavy portions, so we were satisfied with the purchase.
