There was absolutely nothing enjoyable about it. 40minute wait time for a f*cking burrito when there was only one other customer in the shop. They know f*ck all about mexican food or how to run a restaurant. Won't be back. YUCK!

Swiper the fox wrote: I couldn’t agree less which proves I suppose that taste is quite subjective. Badass is must definitely not muck, I think that’s a very unfair comment, all her ingredients are top class and you couldn’t complain about the size of it, I’d forgive you if I felt you were a connoisseur of some sort but rating Pablo picante as you do tells me you’re not anything of the sort, it’s one of the worst I’ve had. Boojum is good to be fair, would do well in a good location in town

Boojum has the greatest selection of ingredients and you can build it however you like. Their burritos end up being monsters, I usually go for a bowl instead. Pablo picante has a menu, choose your extras and salsa. I only ever have the el classico there, and it genuinely is spectacular for flavour and the beef steak is cooked exceptionally. I haven't tried anything else off their menu to be fair. Comparing things like the rice and beans between badass and boojum, you can really tell that a different level of care is taken in making them, rather than being a filler, they are a delicious ingredient in its own right. Badass jalapenos are clearly just the ones out of the yellow jar. It's the spar deli of burritos. Most ingredients are from bags from a supplier, presumably the meats are somewhat slapped into an oven. I've genuinely had better pork from a pre made sandwich. Plus as per the experience of another poster above, one of the times I was in Badass I seemed to be a massive inconvenience to the person behind the counter, despite it being quiet and no where near closing. For a one man band type enterprise, relationship with customers is critical. Badass Customer care 3/10 Ingredients 4/10 Selection 5/10 Overall 4.5/10 Boojum Customer care 6/10 Ingredients 8/10 Selection 10/10 Overall 8/10 Pablo picante Customer care 9/10 Ingredients 9/10 Selection (7/10) Overall (8.5/10) Of course as you say, a lot is personal taste and preference. I just cannot accept the quality of ingredients in badass.
