Phil Versus The Burrito
In one corner, measuring in at 16 inches, filled with steak, lettuce, tomato, and cheese, the Taco Rico "Ultimate Big Burrito" first mentioned here.
In the other corner, the bottomless pit, the burrito graveyard, Phil Jonas' stomach.
My intimidation proved unjust.
I should know better than to doubt my abilities, which have been tested time and again, both with burritos, and the great Pizza Mart wager of 2003.
Winner by way of knockout, Phil's stomach.

Some Like It Wet
Stay with me here.
They offer either burrito in regular or ultra size. The smallest is the regular California. A regular Big Burrito is the same size as an ultra California burrito. Then there’s the ultra Big Burrito, which I saw some guy order. I only caught a quick look but it looked to be about the size of my leg. The guy didn’t come close to finishing it. I’ll be back for that.
This time I went with the ultra size California burrito with steak. From there I had to decide if I wanted it "wet." Wet means they cover the burrito in enchilada sauce and melted cheese for $1.70. I went for it. The burrito ended up costing $8.40, but it was big and they give you free chips & salsa with every meal. Getting it "wet" was a good call too. It was pretty good and it filled me up.

Welcome To Taco Rico
The first stop on my journey was Taco Rico. Fortunately, my girlfriend is a Mexican food fiend and turned me onto this charming and reasonably priced joint not far from her apartment in Coral Gables (Map). I have stopped in a few times before for some of their absurdly large combination platters. It’s time to turn my attention to the burrito.This entry was written by Junior Burrito Analyst Phil Jonas.
