I met with a friend at Mi Charrito so we could have a quick burrito before seeing a show at The Neptune Theater, which is right across the street on 45th. The restaurant is quite small and the feeling of it matches what you might expect for a U-District hole in the wall dining experience. We ordered from the counter and took our seats. In about 3 minutes, our burritos were brought to us. They are a little on the small side and very basic. Not many ingredients to speak of; just the pork, beans, and rice. I don't have much else to say about this 'C' grade experience, but if you're hungry and walking by, give it a try?

Mama's has always been one of the best known Mexican restaurants in Seattle, and rightly so... It's prime corner location in Belltown, the multiple rooms of the restaurant with all kinds of decor, and the famed "Elvis Room" - a room devoted to the King! So of course, how could I not order a burrito named "The Elvis Presley"? While waiting for the food to arrive, I enjoyed live table-side music as I drank my Negro Modelo and munched on the delicious chips & salsa. The burrito was brought out a surprisingly short time later. This burrito had an impressive exterior, covered in cheese and very plump. The only problem with the ingredients was that the carne asada was tough, similar to the consistency of leather. I know they can do better because I've been going to Mama's for a long time without disappointment, which is why I will definitely return one fine day.
