Mas Burritos

Awful. The rice was crunchy, not sure if that was from being undercooked or a day old. The chicken was dry and the cheese tasted cheap. I went here once before a few months ago and it wasn’t great but it now it’s gotten worse. Won’t be going back. Nice décor though.

I was mas disappointed with Mas Burritos. Thumbs up for having horchata, but the guacamole fell flat — not very fresh, and it tasted like they threw all their leftover fruit and vegetable peelings in it — I’m pretty sure that there was cinnamon apples and orange peels in mine. :S
My friend ordered a vegetarian burrito and she was asked three times if she wanted meat in it. It seemed a tad repetitive.

In the Battle of the Grays Inn Burritos Mas Burritos comes off worst. That’s not to say they are bad burritos, they aren’t. They just aren’t amazing, and frankly they should be.
My first issue was the size. These are obscenely large. Next, they are lacking in flavour and a bit of moisture.
Not a bad burrito but there’s better around the corner.

Unusual slapped together thing. oh wait was that what this place calls a burrito? If that is the case then at Mas Burritos you can rest assure its an overpriced thing where you have a mouthful of beans, then a mouthful of cheese, oh wait theres some meat, mm what interesting installment does my next mouthful have. I will take myself to the competitior that has recently opened up the next street over. Give me and Adobo burrito anyday, fresher much tastier and by memory they are cheaper too. 2 Sombreros for Mas Burritos!

After giving Mas Burritos another few trys. I must say that I am back in love with it.
The breakfast burrito Gods have spoken and they now melt the cheese into their eggs and even give you the option of more cheese if you like.

Their steak burritos are massive and meaty. Its almost as though your eating an entire cow and totally worth £6

When I began my new job in Farringdon, I was afraid that my days of burrito variety were over. When I worked near Oxford Circus, I had so many burrito options around me that I could eat a different one every day, and still have some left over. Surely Farringdon would provide less, i thought. Well, two weeks in, and I’ve located four burrito places already.
Mas Burritos is just around the corner from me, and they have a couple of ways of standing out from the others. First is meat proportion– they don’t skimp here on what is the burrito’s most important ingredient, and that is important. The second is something I’ve yet to try, but color me excited that they do breakfast burritos here. I’ll give this an update once I’ve actually had one, but it is a very promising sign nonetheless.

I’m the kid who has made the rounds around the block to all the new Mexican spots popping up in the city and find myself regularly coming back to this place. You might, dare I say, call me a bit of a regular at this point. After trying all the others, I have come to appreciate this place even more – which is why I am updating my initial review to give them an additional star.
The main difference between Mas and the others I have tried is the flavour; Mas gets it spot on. Additionally, no matter what anyone says size does matter… and I feel as though the Mas burritos have gotten even bigger. They always fill my burritos up with tons of meat – which I rarely get at the other places who tend to be more «stingy» with their portions.
Yesterday I had their tortilla soup and the flavors were gorgeous! The new addition is a warm welcome and frankly, got me excited enough to update my initial review.

I was a bit surprised and unsettled on my recent visit to see that the cheese had changed from one of an acceptably off-​white variety to one disconcertingly reminiscent of traffic-​cone orange.
Certainly this cheese product doesn’t occur in nature, much less in Mexico.
And this isn’t even mentioning the frighteningly chalky and cardboard-​like appearance of said cheese shreds.
I shudder at the mere memory of it.

Oh dear!
What happened to my burrito? Why is it falling apart? Why are my black beans bland? Where is the sour cream? Oh there it is… oh, that’s it?

Being from California I know a thing or two about good burritos, and unfortunately that is not what I found at Mas Burritos.
Like another reviewer mentioned, they have managed to create something quite flavorless. The meat was bland, soured cream runny and they were rather skimpy on the guacamole that I paid extra for. Not the worst I have ever had but far, far, far from the best.
If you know any better, take your £6 and go down to Leather Lane and have a proper burrito at Daddy Donkey. Your taste buds will thank you.

If this review were a book it would be entitled, ‘Miriam and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Burrito’ for that is what I had today at Mas Burritos.
Just what made this burrito so exceptionally unsatisfying?
I. Condiment distribution challenge
I had to eat nearly half the burrito before ever coming across sour cream, salsa or the guacamole I paid an .80p surcharge for.
II. Unsatisfactory rolling technique
A proper wrapping/​folding technique allows for the eater to consume his/​her burrito by hand without a knife, fork or plate; the foil is simply unwound bit by bit as you bite. The foil on this burrito barely caressed the tortilla and meant that it was a drippy mess right from the start and by the halfway point I was forced to get a bowl out to contain it. And cutlery to eat it with. By then I pretty much gave up on my lackluster lunch.
III. General blandness of all ingredients
How is it possible for something containing chicken, rice, beans, sour cream, cheese, salsa and guacamole to be mostly flavorless? You got me, but this one managed to be.
London is no hotbed for Mexican delicacies but for my burrito fix in the area, I’ll be sticking with Daddy Donkey on Leather Lane.
