Nooner Burrito with Royality

If burrito hunger was a crocodile, I was pinned in a death roll a little after 11AM this morning.  Not having the Steve Irwin like prowess to fight if off (mind you, this was a croc, not a sting ray), I decided to leave for lunch early and head to the Taco Burrito King at 811 West Jackson Blvd in University Village.

I never knew that being held in a mortal lock could be so tasty!  I ordered the Super King Burrito.  With burritos already adherently being ‘super’ and regal, I find the term ‘super king burrito’ doubly redundant, however, I won’t dock these guys for showing enthusiasm with their burrito’s name.  This thing was awesome.  It was a 13” inch nicely toasted flour tortilla filled with beans, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, cheese, hot sauce and in my case Chorizo (steak, al Pastor, chicken, ground beef, or beans were also options…tough, tough decisions).  For an additional five cents, they give you what they call a “Mexican Style Coke”, which is a coca-cola in the old school recyclable glass bottles that you used to have as a kid growing up.   Located near the U.I.C. campus, I wish there was a Taco & Burrito King where I went to school.  If I was admissions, I’d be sure to point this out in the first 5 minutes of every campus visit.  With all this for only $7.25 ($7.30 with the coke), it is simply impossible for you to not afford not to buy one.

Coming back to the office, I felt relaxed, fulfilled, and able to focus.  I always knew that rolling around in a burrito lock would be great over the lunch hour!
