Eagle Rock: Wet Burritos Happen at Taco Spot

A wet vegetarian burrito from The Taco Spot in Eagle Rock.

There comes a time in every life when only a wet burrito will do. Sometimes you just have to give in to the cheesy-saucy meltiness. It’s useless to resist.

My most recent wet burrito surrender happened at the hands of Taco Spot in Eagle Rock. Their Vegetarian Burrito, mojado style, satisfied because it met my most crucial requirement: the cheese and sauce were plentiful but didn’t overwhelm, and the sauce was thick enough that it didn’t create a watery, soggy mess. Other pluses included a whole wheat tortilla, black beans and plenty of guacamole. Of course, I ordered it without rice, which I cannot tolerate in any burrito of mine.

That’s all.

UPDATE: The owner of Taco Spot, Bret Schoenhals, wrote to me and told me that the sauces are made from scratch! Very nice.

    This looks like it would be especially tasty at 2am though I know they are not open then.

    I’ve only had tacos at the Taco Spot and have always been let down. I’ll have to revisit for a burrito…but with meat for me.

    @Tyler, Can only attest for the burrito. For a good taco, drive down to CaCao Mexicatessan and ask for the duck taco. You won’t be sorry. They also have some good burritos.

    @Natalie, Yes at 2am, I would kill this burrito.
