California Burrito in Vacaville

I gave it a fair shot, went there twice. There’s no way I’d go for a third. Not even if they paid me.

They are super disorganised there. The food tastes either like it came from a can or has been cooking for hours and hours. Tasteless and/or dry. Lengua is supposed to be soft, not crispy or burnt. Carnitas are supposed to be crunchy or soft, not soggy. The refried beans I’ve had better from Rosarita. Their menu looks like a straight up copy of Baldo’s Menu. They must get it from the same manufacturer. But the food is better at Baldo’s!

The service sucks major soda water. Seriously. They could give NO figs about anything. They couldn’t remember who got what order. One of the girls was busy getting loved up by the cook or someone in the back. It was completely unprofessional. She has nails the size of a grizzly bear. How is that appropriate in a food place?! She acted like she has never seen Mexican food before, throws your food at you, more or less, and like she’s only there to see her boyfriend and we get in the way of that.

The vibe I was getting from that girl was pretty spot on to his picture.

The other one seemed better but still disorganised. The cooks all look mad and the place had a handful of people. I can definitely understand why! They blare the music like we all need to hear it outside the restaurant. Shrugs?

Anyway, no way in heck am I going back. How is this place so popular it has 4 locations in Sacramento?! I’ll never know. I don’t know how they’ll stay afloat in Vacaville. I think they’ll shut down. There are way more other Mexican food places to go to in this town. I’m definitely going somewhere else from now on. Even my own cooking is better than this place!

Burger King, whyyy?! Your 5 for 4 sucks!

So… lately there’s been a lot of chatter in the fast food industry about your mini deals or great bang for your buck yeah yeah yeah’s…  McD’s has their 2 for 2 which here in Cali translates to 2 for 2.50 those jerks…! Wendy’s had their 4 for 4 and so I guess BK decided ey, we want to do something too!  AND SOOO… their deal comes in…5 for 4 and this is what comes in it:

But of course we all know this is plastic food… the real deal looks NOTHING like this…  In fact, mine was so sad the bacon looked like it was done six days ago and was pleading for it’s life!  It was burnt but not cooked well, how the heck does that happen!?

Anyway the burger itself was sad because the meat was tiny and I guess they left it in too long because it was leathery and tough, and the chicken nuggets were sorta burned…the fries are not the best (but that’s nothing new, I don’t really eat fries so they get a pass, I guess) and lastly the cookie… a flavourless round thing with something that resembles chocolate.  I’m not a huge fan of chocolate chip cookies as it is, but I’ve been known to much on a few Ms. Fields and even the chewy chips ahoys which you know, are kind of little disks of god knows what plastic cookies…  Even they’re tastier than the BK ones…

I’ll make this blog short because honestly, there isn’t much to say about it.  I have no idea what went wrong but this is THE WORST $4 (plus tax) I’ve ever spent.  Maybe it was that branch or maybe BK never had good baby burgers and nuggets…  I think I’ll stick to their Whoppers.  When it comes down to fast food burgers I still prefer them over others.  Unless you fancy Habit Burger which to me isn’t really fast food, but man, they’re the best!  I should write you a blog about that so stay tune!  Thanks for reading.
