Superior Rancho Taqueria, con Pollo!

And now it's time to review a wet chicken burrito. Fortunately, these are not made of wet chickens. The first thing is, why chicken? Why not carne asada? Well, part of the reason is for you, dear reader, since we have already reviewed a wet carne asada burrito. Another part is that, as I recently bought about $300 worth of red meat, it seemed like a good idea to have some white meat instead, never mind all the cheese in a wet burrito.

Unlike the carne asada, this burrito had no sliced avocado. Instead, I got a bag of oily chips (foreground). There are two types of restaurant chips: the oily kind with the heavy savory taste, and the light , fluffy kind. These were of the former.

The choice of chicken was well-rewarded. The chicken used for this burrito was, of course, quite lean. And it had that film of crispy oiliness surrounding the individual pieces like the veneer that is evocative of El Pollo Loco, sans the charboriledness and the lemon.

Almost makes up for a bad showing (so far) in Portland by the Los Angeles Lakers. Maybe if the team had had some Superior Rancho wet burritos, they would be sitting pretty right now.
