Campus Eats

When I reported about wanting to try out the local cuisine I was
obviously referring to the local mom and pop burrito shack.
Naturally, this was an easy choice given my "history".

My review of Rolling Stone Burrito follows:

Apparently this was a relatively new establishment and you could tell
the owners got the idea from Chipotle. I even saw a Chipotle sticker
at the ordering counter. I had the "Cool Buzz" - ground beef, rice,
black beans, cheese, lettuce/spinach with a creamy cool chipotle
sauce. It was pretty good, but not any better than something you
would get at Cal Tor/Chipotle/etc. Usually i never order ground beef,
but on this day i decided to take the plunge. And while i wasn't
disappointed, I'm fairly certain I'll stick to steak and chicken when I have these rice-based burritos. The way I see it ground beef works better with the old fashioned refried bean burritos and your typical enchilada.

The cheese tasted a bit like blue cheese which made for an interesting  combo with the Chipotle sauce. And one plus was that they served Cheerwine and RC Cola out of the fountain. Bravo!

One distinct negative was that the salsa served with my side of chips was not very good. Too tomato based. That is all.

How about a rundown of your grub stock for the get-away tomorrow? I hope it won't be a steady diet of beans & rice!
