It might but... I am not a big meat eater and none of their meat appeals to
me. Not a fan of black beans in a burrito or rice either. Or eating a
burrito out of hand. To me, burritos like that really don't have much
flavor. I much prefer the wet ones. The bowls don't look appealing either.
I could easily make something like that at home and I am sure it would taste
better. Would have brown rice too! Have tried the bowls at Taco Del Mar
and they were just meh. I just looed at their menu and really the only
thing I would eat from there is the pinto beans. I can get a can of pinto
beans, drain and eat and it would be cheaper and just as satisfying. I just
can't see any reason for me to go in there at all.
