I was headed over to Wholesome Choice for my weekly meat run and realized I was getting hungry. Having never tried Antonio’s, and seeing its on Yelp! I though that today was as good a day as any to stop in and grab a bite.

As I walked through the door, I was greeted by none other than Antonio, himself. He was very friendly and welcoming and wasn’t shy about suggesting I start my meal off with an ice-chilled beer. From there he guided me to the counter to order, and made a suggestion of guacamole with my chips and salsa. I figured “what the heck” and ordered a serving. I was happy to find that the guac was pretty good and that there was enough of it to have with chips AND put some on my main course.

For my main meal, I ordered a carne asada burrito, wet and anxiously awaited its arrival. The food was ready quickly and brought to my table piping hot. The burrito looked quite tasty as it lay there upon my plate all slathered in a red sauce and topped with gooey melted cheese. I couldn’t wait to take a bite! Upon cutting into the burro, I was saddened to see LOADS of refried beans begin to ooze from the incision. I was increasingly crestfallen as I continued on. My burrito was little more than a bean and cheese burrito with a little bit of meat thrown in for texture. I will have to remember to order “meat only” on my next visit.

Fortunately for Antonio’s, I have a three strikes policy before I leave a “hard” review for a place that wasn’t stellar on my first visit. I look forward to trying more of their food, and hopefully this meal was the exception and not the rule.
