Bean & Cheese #11

Number 11 for a B&C try took me to Las Fuente in Reseda on Vanowen just east of Reseda. I parked on a side street since the small parking lot was full and went inside. The place was packed and it really had an energetic vibe to it. Cute decorations. 
I ordered my B&C and had to wait quite a bit for it as there were a lot of people ordering. I packed up some salsa while I was waiting and then took my order and left. 
When I got home I opened the container that the B&C came in and found out that it was a smothered burrito with sauce and cheese all over it. While I like my sauce I usually like to pick up my burrito to have each bite and I usually can't get a good feel for the tortilla because it's a bit soggy. 

It was a good size burrito but not completely sure of the cost, maybe around $5?
Salsa choices were good at at least 3 hot variety.
Cheese was melted throughout because everything was hot and melty. Would not get another B&C but would go back to try other items on the menu as everything looked really good.

Bean & Cheese #10


My 10th B&C took me to Alfredo's Mexican Food in Burbank on San Fernando Road near Burbank Blvd. This place was previously another Mexican eatery that the customers had declined over the years and then had just closed. It opened in recent months so I had wanted to try it.
I ordered a B&C and it was $3.89 + tax. There were a few people ahead of me waiting for their orders so I took it as a good sign. My order was ready about 10 minutes later and I took it with me. 
It was a good size with a cute Alfredo's wrapper around it. It didn't come with any chips but I had the option of them tossing in a container of either red or green hot sauce. 
The tortilla had that nice, chewy texture I enjoy when I bit into it and there was quite a bit of unmelted cheese throughout the bites of pinto beans. 
Beans could have used a tad more salt but were really good nonetheless and the green sauce was so good as I put on individual bites. 

The B&C did not bust open towards the end and was a really good size for the price. I also noticed they have the California burrito, which is one of my favorites, as it includes French fries inside. No, not the healthiest option but tasty. 
The photo below showing one of my favorite parts of Alfredo's B&C burrito as there was a high ration of cheesy deliciousness in this burrito. Definitely one of my favorites so far.
Ok, time for a hike today to work off some B&C calories!


New Year, More Bean & Cheese Burritos!

During the month of December I got the cold that almost everyone I know, had. It was not fun and I was sick the entire month of December and New Year's. I still have a little bit of cough left but December was filled with soup and not bean and cheese burritos. Anyway, my search for my favorite bean and cheese burrito continues in the new year!
