This Mexican shop is pretty well hidden is located in a small plaza where the old DMV & Post Office used to be.  It's more of a sit down type restaurant and has a very nice "homey" feel to it.  I was recommend to try out their food by one of my friends so here's the review.

Shrimp Burrito Review: (2/19/2010)

 

 

 

Ingredients: Shrimp, Mexican salsa, rice, tarter sauce and diablo sauce.

Size: 7/10
Burrito is about average in size.  The burrito was long in length, but skinnier than most burritos.  If you look at the picture, it is a little longer than the table knife.

Taste:  8.5/10
This burrito was very tasty and will be on my top 5.  I like the rice they used, it has an authentic Mexican taste that separates itself from the rest I've tried.  I usually don't eat tarter sauce but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  Didn't even taste like tarter sauce in my opinion. 

Will I Get Full? 8/10
I got full after eating the burrito.  The rice can get you full alone.  Has a perfect blend of spices and the taste stands out.  This burrito should get you full because of the flavoring of the rice and shrimp. 

Shrimp count: 12
Only 12 shrimp, a disappointment, however the taste of the burrito and the rice make up for it.  The shrimp did not taste like any regular shrimp, it had it's own marinated taste that was delicious. 

Recommend? YES!
This burrito shop has a small restaurant like feel to it.  Everybody that worked there was very friendly.  They serve different types of seafood plates so if you like Mexican seafood, there are a lot of options to try here.  As an added bonus, they offer chips and salsa with no charge so that's a PLUS!

Price: $3.99, after taxes $4.34 (So far the cheapest shrimp burrito I've encountered)

El Ranchero Factory Taco Shop #3 - Shrimp Burrito Review

 

El Ranchero Factory Taco Shop #3

4370 Palm Avenue 

San Diego, CA 92154-1760 

(619) 662-1560

I've passed by this taco shop for months and I've never been inside until today.  It's located off Palm Ave on the 805, in the same plaza as McDonalds & KFC.

Shrimp Burrito Review:

Ingredients: Battered Shrimp, purple onion, sauce, cilantro, lettuce (mixed like coleslaw), chili/peppers & rice on the side.

Size: 7/10
Burrito is above average in size.  I'm comparing it to the last shrimp burrito that I ate earlier in the week.

Taste:  7/10
This shrimp burrito has a ranchy/saucy type taste to it.  I'm not a fan of the taste but for those who like it saucy, they will like this burrito.  I'm also not a fan of lettuce and this had a coleslaw type taste to it.  I give it a 7/10 because it's good, but I prefer not to have lettuce and that ranchy taste.

Will I Get Full? 7/10
I did not get full from this burrito and my hunger was not satisfied. 

 

Shrimp count: 12
They used battered shrimp and the shrimp size was above average.  However the shrimp count was pretty low at only 12 shrimps.


Recommend? YES! but...
Only if you like the ranchy/saucy taste and if you like lettuce or coleslaw.  If you're on a budget and only have $5 to spend, I'd also recommend it.  Personally, I think there's better out there so I will probably not return for their shrimp burrito.

Price: $4.39, after taxes $4.77
