Bean & Cheese #13 - National Burrito Day

Whoo-hoo! It's the first Thursday of April which means that it is National Burrito Day! It's a great time to have a B&C. 
Today I decided to stop by Puebla Taco's #3 on the corner of Las Robles and Woodbury in Pasadena. 
This is another location of the Puebla Tacos I went to last Friday night before the Earthquake. 
The B&C from here is a good size and costs $4.99 + tax. This location also has a good variety of salsas and condiments. 
There is one salsa that indicates that it is XXX hot so of course I got a container of that and a container of onions and cilantro. 

The tortilla didn't have that same chewy consistency but maybe that happened from sitting in the wrapper for a bit. I didn't want to risk another shaker to find out!

The taste of the beans were good, perfectly salted and cheese throught but all melted. The XXX salsa has a really wonderful taste and I had some chips to go along with it. 
It was a good burrito but sadly it did moosh out the bottom and I wanted more cheese (unmelted, of course!) throughout.

Bean & Cheese #12 - Earthquake Burrito

On Friday night I stopped at Puebla Tacos in Pasadena at the corner of Orange Grove and Lake after doing some grocery shopping at Trader Joe's and I hadn't gotten a bean & cheese burrito in a while.
I ordered a B & C  and a California burrito for my husband. 
They had a really good salsa selection so I packed a container of onions, cilantro, green salsa, spicy red salsa, a smoky red salsa and purchased a side of chips and a side of sour cream. 
I had gotten home and was putting away the groceries when the 5.1 hit. Needless to say because it was nighttime my nerves were shaken.
It took awhile for me to feel calm enough to even take a bite of the burrito but when I did I enjoyed. 
It was a good size burrito.

The tortilla had a wonderful chewiness to it and the burrito stood up throughout. The only thing is it could have had a little more cheese and I had waited till it had cooled off before I even took a first bite so I will need to try again. 
Chips were wonderfully salted and crunchy.
All salsas were tasty and spicy.
The California burrito was also really good. Even lukewarm it was really good. Some really wonderful person had the idea to put French fries in a carne asada burrito. Yum!
