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

Hermanos Taco Shop

Hermanos Taco Shop
1295 Broadway Ste 206
(at Palomar St)
Chula Vista, CA 91911
(619) 422-2131

Hermanos Taco Shop is not fancy. It can be considered a "hole in the wall" establishment (though some believe that "hole in the wall" joints serve up the best Mexican food). Yes, the premises is lacking; however, their shrimp burrito is anything but.

At $4.60, which comes out to $5.00 after taxes, Hermanos serves up a decent sized offering. The burrito consists of shrimp (duh!), rice, tomato, cilantro, sour cream and cheese. Most impressive yet is that there is a shrimp with every bite; Hermanos's cook put a generous 20 decent size shrimps. $5.00 is enough to get anyone full and satisfied.

Overall, the presentation and taste of the burrito is above average. I will definitely be going back there again.

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:  8/10
This is one of the better tasting shrimp burritos I've tasted.  The cheese and sour cream make this shrimp burrito unique.

Yes, you will get full eating this shrimp burrito.  It has enough rice, shrimp and cheese to satisfy your hunger.

They do not skimp on the shrimp!  I was impressed, you will taste shrimp with almost every bite.

Recommend? YES!
I recommend this burrito anybody who loves shrimp burritos.  No complaints here!
