Burrito Quest
Burrito Quest is all about...stamina. We (Ben, Isaac, and Daniel) ate our way through the Specialty Burrito menu at Santa Fe Grill, a fast food eatery located inside Pic Quik convenience stores in Las Cruces, New Mexco. This list is a good 60 burritos long, and it took us all of 2009, and a quarter of 2010.Along the way we met and (we like to think) befriended a burristro who we named Salsa Bro. Toward the end of our quest, Salsa Bro was unceremoniously fired for, rumor has it, giving free burritos to pretty ladies. What man wouldn't, we ask you?And so, our primary quest finished, we push on, searching the Land of Burritos (Las Cruces, NM burrito-serving establishments) for our old friend. Join us, for Burrito Quest 2: The Search for Salsa Bro!

Santa Fe Grill - Bean Burrito Repeat
Issac joins us for the finale of Veggie Trek. We repeat another previously failed burro to round things out. Santa Fe Grill comes through in spades, with a veggie burrito that even Daniel would get again; good consistency and flavor but for a few undercooked potatoes. As this Trek rounds out we,...
-
Andele - Build Your Own Burrito Take Two
Andele boned us last time, this time we take it back! We refine the ingredients for their Build-Your-Own burro and the results suffer improvement of a sort. Onions, you're out, as is your overwhelming flavor. The burrito is somewhat dry, and their omission of side-salsa does not help. The overall...
-
Taco Bell - Veggie Cantina Burrito
Taco Bell, your bell has been rung for the last time. At least the last time during Veggie Trek. The previous excursion for this particular burro ended in failure, due to fowl incursion into what was supposed to be a strictly vegetarian affair. This burrito rings 'veggie true' if not completely...
-
Andele - Build Your Own Burrito
The Quest is in trouble. Andele is, a tasty establishment that we have visited in the past, serves us up another crushing defeat in our Veggie Trek. Daniel actually does some footwork ahead of time to figure out what ingredients they offer that meet our stringent veggie requirements for...
-
Taco Bell - Black Bean Burrito
Taco Bell gets a chance to redeem its previous meat-filled disaster. And redeem it does. Once again, corporate chemistry brings flavor and consistency to the veggie trek. We do manage to slightly confuse the name of this one with the one of their cheesier burritos, but the end result is…

Currito - Bankok Tofu
Not content to geek out strictly in the gaming direction, we also satisfy our burrito nerdery whist at GenCon. More than one firsts in this episode: first mall food court burrito, first tofu and/or Asian-inspired burrito, first time questing together outside of Las Cruces. Currito is self-styled...
-
The Shed - Migas Burrito
We get the band back together! Isaac is in town (also, Jenni) for a busy weekend, so we opt for a brunch burrito. The Shed (formerly Old Mesilla Pastry Cafe) is a breakfast/lunch place with a dish called Migas, basically a bunch of veggies mixed with egg. They graciously threw the dish into a...
-
Taco Bell - Chicken Cantina Burrito
Those shits at Taco Bell screw us! We order Veggie Cantina Burritos and they give us the chicken version. We eat it anyway. We are joined by Alex and Nathan for a Burrito foursome. Ben searches his vegetarian soul and decides throwing the burro away is worse than eating it. His concessions are...
-
Santa Fe Grill - Bean Burrito
Santa Fe Grill… Not much we can say that hasn't already been said. Vegetarians have options here, some X number of combinations that can be made from several veggie ingredients. We discuss Taco Bell's likely stringent IP policies. Amy doubles down on her contempt for vegetarianism by drinking her...
-
Taco Bell - Fresca Bean Burrito w/Potatoes and Rice
In this episode we order Taco Bell like rock stars. Not content with yet another bean burrito, we have them add potatoes and rice. The burrito stands up, not only to other vegetarian burritos, but also to other burritos from Taco Bell. Daniel touts his good ideas, like ordering Fresca-style. He...
-
Amy's Frozen Burritos - Black Bean & Veggie/Burrito Especial
Frozen burritos. Finally? Amy's brand tends towards the vegetarian and gluten free and whatnot. Perfect for this quest into the meatless lands. Unfortunately, all this organic-ness does not help the with one of the common frozen burro problems. The tortilla was stiff and plasticky, the folded…

Burger Time - Bean & Green Chile / Potato & Egg
Burger Time has been visited in BQ's past. The quality, when vegetarianism is applied, was significantly diminished. The beans were super bland; the potato and egg equally so. We discuss BQ's utilization as a reference, and whether that could possibly be useful. Daniel shits on vegetarian food...
-
Si Señor - Bean Burrito
We start our Vegetarian Trek with a trip back to Si Señor for their Bean burrito. We got them to hold the cheese, and asked them to add green chile. They got one of those things right, the important lack of cheese thing. Green chile was not so much in attendance. It's filling but lacking in...
-
Burrito Quest, Lives?
Where oh where has Burrito Quest gone? When Isaac left, Ben and Daniel tried to march on, but things got in the way. Mostly Ben's newfound vegetarianism. There is some hope that we can get back on track with a Vegetarian Trek. We shall see. In the meantime, here is a Burrito Quest: On the Road…

Taco Bell - XXXL Grilled Stuft Burrito: Steak
Back to Taco Bell, we feel that we may have endangered Triple Trek. We are apparently correct as this becomes our crowning failure of the BQ3. Ben is confounded by his attraction to this burrito. Daniel crows a lot about recording on the road. Without realizing it we have a discussion about what...
-
La Posta - Red Chile con Carne
If our math is correct, this is Burrito Quest's 100th recording! It is truly a momentous occasion, made more-so by Isaac and Amy joining us. La Posta, while not quality-wise up to the task is, given their volume of customers, probably a decent choice for our 100th. It is an old establishment that...
-
Taco Bell - Chicken Grilled Stuft Burrito
Taco Bell trek gets Stuft! That's right, 'Stuft!' It's how you know they're hip. This burrito is Taco Bell's second highest in caloric content, bested only by the beef version of the Grilled Stuft Burrito. Daniel's go-to Taco Bell food, his opinion was preordained. Ben eats it and hates that he...
-
Nellie's - Green Chile Banado
Nellie's, finally. Nellie's is a family-owned Mexican food place that is popular enough that over the years they have actually trimmed their hours so that they are only open until 2pm. In addition they regularly just shut down for two weeks at a shot for both Xmas and Summer Vacation. None of…
more -
Pepper's - Chimichanga Con Queso
Pepper's is the front end cafe (read: less fancy) for what is likely the most expensive restaurant in Las Cruces; The Double Eagle. A true chimichanga, in all its fried glory, one would expect exceptional quality given the outrageous price of this burrito. One would be disappointed. We certainly...
-
Taco Bell - Half-Pound Cheesy Potato Burrito
Late night Questing achieved! We stay up late and eat Taco Bell outside of some kind of house party on the back of a random car. Joined (officially) by Isaac, Sage, and Charles (or Bubblegum), it is our biggest cast in some time. Isaac is drunk. Sage wanders off at one point, when a car drives…
