Pay Today, Free Tomorrow At Boloco

If you buy a Boloco burrito today, 5/22/08, and keep your receipt, you can trade it in for a free burrito tomorrow. It's part of a promotion to reduce the woes of their planned $0.25 price increase, due to rising food costs. I think that's pretty nice of them.

Boloco Invaded: 21 Taco Salute

Boloco was offering 3 tacos for $2. All you fools who missed out have my sympathy. Seven of us from work, did not miss out.

From top left to bottom right: Dan, Livia, Mike, Andrew, Melanie, John, Me, 3 steak tacos.

I got an email from Boloco's Sal Farulla, who said that the Newbury Street location had the best taco turnout. You seriously can't beat 21 tacos for $14.

Highest Value Tacos: Hurry To Boloco

Yesterday John, champion of Burrito Blog's first speed eating contest, and I went and took advantage of Boloco's 3 tacos for $2 offer (coupon required).

Rather, yesterday we accepted the offer. When we go back over and over again until 10/31/06, we will be taking advantage.

Regularly priced just under $6 for 3, the tacos we decent. John had 3 steak and I mixed it up with steak, carnitas, and tofu. Unless you're really into tofu, I recommend not experimenting. It tasted fine, but was straight out of the refrigerator, and no one likes a cold taco.

Tacos came with salsa, shredded cheese, and some undisclosed, peach colored, tangy sauce. The sauce had a nice kick, but as burgers do not require Thousand Island dressing, tacos need not be similarly altered. Next time I'll get it on the side or not at all.

Unfortunately my camera phone is garbage, and you deal hunters will just have to trust me. Taco Bell's value pricing is a joke compared to this. Go.

This Boloco meal was rated: 7.5.

Steak Teryaki Review By Rich

See also: Rich

Good: caramelized onions, tight wrap, nice and light (considering the amount of food that I binged on for thanksgiving, I was happy to not get overloaded with a burrito)

Not as good: could use more steak and a bit more teriyaki flavor

It's a nice change of pace, but for the same drive, I can go to Anna's.

This Boloco meal was rated: 5.5.

Mutant Breed Of Buffalo

While they offer the classics, Boloco specializes in 'inspired' burritos, which are hybrids containing the flour tortilla and rice found in traditional burritos, plus a flavor that may include one of the following:

• Teriyaki
• Hummus
• Feta and Caesar Dressing
• BBQ and Caramelized Onions
• Buffalo Sauce and Blue Cheese
• Peanut Sauce and Cucumbers

I'm usually more of a fan of experimentation containing goat stew or cow cheek, but I gave the buffalo burrito a shot.

I got mine without the blue cheese, and it was a little dry. I feel like it must be possible to mix buffalo sauce with rice and tortillas. Maybe this deserves a second shot?

This Boloco meal was rated: 2.9.

Challenge: I Take No Prisioners

Location: Boloco

Inspiration: Cajun chicken, black beans, roasted corn salsa, sour cream, rice, and a flour tortilla

Challenge: DJ Turbz claims he can eat a burrito faster than Phil. Please remember that Phil once ate three Anna's super burritos (with everything) in one sitting, and defeated The Ultimate Big Burrito. But this is a test for speed, not quantity.

When is game day? Update: video results of the speed eating contest.

Related: Turbz gave the Cajun burrito high marks, but keep in mind this kid loves his food.

Welcome To Boloco

Though Boloco stands for Boston Local Company, there are, in fact, twelve Boloco locations in four states: Massachusetts, Indiana, New Hampshire, and North Carolina.

Formerly known as The Wrap, the Boloco menu offers more wrap-like selections than it does burritos.

In fact, Burritophile puts Boloco on its short list of

Places To Go If You Want Something That's Probably Not A Burrito

Traditionalists, please do not be offended. We've covered Romano's Pizza and had amazing results, so we find no harm in giving Boloco a shot, even if the burritos are less traditional and a bit 'inspired.'

See for yourself. Click on the menu for an enlarged version.
