The signature Una Mas burrito with chicken. I made the mistake of refrigerating this one and no reheated burrito can hold up its original form. Still, a nice middle of the road experience. The Super Mario of burritos.

The carnitas burrito from Una Mas is… okay. I’ve had too much good carnitas (fried in a cazo de cobre with lard) to ever really like carnitas prepared differently. They need to be crispy without and tender within. Plus there wasn’t much of it here. The guac, beans, cheese, and salsa fresca accompaniment just wasn’t enough to elevate it.

This wee babe wrapped in its aluminum blanket is the Mucha Carne burrito from Una Mas, and it’s about what I’d expect from a burrito that’s “lots of meat, lots of cheese, guacamole, and salsa fresca.” Burritos sans rice and beans aren’t my go-to but some parts of the world swear that it’s the only way to go. The drawback here is all those folds in the tortilla. It can feel like gnawing on a bagel.
