"YESSSSSS!!! Finally found a go to burrito spot in Sacramento just in time for #NationalBurritoDay. Had to order it without the rice and beans and open the foil steam pouch on the way home but the tortilla was nice and fatty, the adobada was flavorful, and was an overall good size. I’m a happy man right now. #burritos #thiscompetes"
