The problem is the portions are too big. I suppose I could eat 1/2 and save for later, but it tastes too good to save for later! Great food, Have eaten there several times.

I wouldn't have tried to go off-menu unless the staff looked unhurried and showed interest in guiding me through some choices. Understood, Greg, thanks for the tip.

The "secret" menu items are just rehashes of the normal menu items. Just be sure that you go in during a slow time, otherwise the line staff generally dislikes making the secret items because they slow down the line. Great review!

So I started getting the pork. It's great. Although I they put WAY too much rice in there. Resulting in me stuffing myself to pig state! I too thought the chicken was a bit too spicy.

However, the beans weren't spicy at all. The small amount of heat that I had in my burrito was caused by the tomato salsa (mild) that I added. My husband added both the tomato salsa & the medium-heat corn salsa, and at that point, it was far too spicy for me to enjoy. A little heat goes a long way!

I was not too impressed with them about two years ago when I first tried them. I found all of their meat dishes, especially the chicken, to be too spicy. I don't mind adding heat with salsa and sauces, that makes sense, but I disagree with starting out with a hot base. Also, that makes it very hard to pick out items for the kids to eat.
