Cali-Mex

Searching for food in a rush on a drizzly Saturday afternoon, I ducked into an empty Cali-Mex filled with the cheery sounds of Latin music. The shop is bright and well-let, with both table seating and bar-style seating available. I'd passed by this shop a few times, though it always seems to be rather empty. I had about 15 minutes for a quick lunch and there was no queue, so the food only took around 5 minutes to prepare. Located on Jardine's Bazaar, it is around a 5 minute walk to Causeway Bay MTR and Hysan Place, which is super convenient. Decorated with a brightly bizarre mix of orange seats and wooden tables, I can see why most people order take-away.

The menu on offer is rather large, with different choices and a step-by-step process to guide you through the mess.

 All the ingredients are spooned onto the wrap and created in front of your eyes, if you care to watch. If not, the buzzer will alert you when your food is ready. You can also ask for more jalapenos if you can handle the spice ;)

 I ordered a Mixed Bean Burrito with black beans, mild spice level and no guacamole, though I have tried the medium spice level before and that is delicious! The beans were nothing spectacular, soft with a salty taste, The rice and vegetables were crunchy together and complemented the soft beans well. The problem is that apart from saltiness, there isn't really much flavour going on in this burrito. The sauce has inadequate flavour and the whole thing is rather dry. The wrap is soft and thin which isn't necessarily a negative point. Although it wasn't a bad burrito, I wouldn't recommend ordering a mixed bean burrito to anyone. Also for the size, I'm not sure but this seems to pack a lot of calories and salt into a small package. Beans made me feel healthy, but the saltiness drained away any of those feelings as I felt thirsty extremely soon afterwards. It did however keep me full until dinner, so I guess its an easy, fast and convenient lunch for anyone in a rush in CWB.

Overall: 3 Stars :S
