This is the 1st ever perfectly scored burrito on Brian's Burrito Blog! Congratulations El Chupacabra, you've created a burrito that is above and beyond the vast majority of fellow burrito makers. Thank you!

I heavily recommend you make it a point to stop in at El Chupacabra. Not only is the food excellent, but the place itself is great just to hang out in for a few drinks. They're also known for their Margaritas and their juke box. Just don't let the Chupacabra catch you!

Burrito Lovers Only!

On a recent trip I took to Belize, I realized how much I love burritos. There I decided to begin sharing my burrito experiences with other burrito lovers. And so, this blog will be a basic rating on any burrito I come across as long as it is worthy of my burrito blog. The way I've decided to rate the chosen burritos is quite simple. I've selected 10 basic qualities of the burrito that are most important to me. They are as follows: Price, Size, Ingredients, Freshness, Construction, Originality, Flavor, Presentation, Overall Quality, Overall Experience. I will also give bonus points for any outstanding part of the burrito that amazes me. I will rate the burrito on a scale of 1 to 10 on each of the listed qualities. Then the sum will be added plus bonus points and that will be the burrito's final grade. I will also include which hot sauces were available at the establishment and I'll let you know whether or not I would go back for another. I live in the Seattle area, so that's where most burrito ratings will take place, but I will also make ratings where ever I may be, such as Belize! Please enjoy the Burrito Blog and I hope this will help you find the burrito you're looking for.
