Burrito joint
From ArborWiki
Menu at: http://www.burritojoint.com. Phone #: (734)995-4040. Open: 10:30 AM - 4 AM.
The Burrito Joint is a carry-out and delivery Tex-Mex restaurant, sharing space at 1200 Packard with Mr. Pizza. Because of the co-operation of the brands, delivery or carry-out can combine food from Mr. Pizza and The Burrito Joint on the same tab, driver, and phone number. The burritos here are not made fresh at all. The ingredients are all cooked right in the morning when they open, so if you are eating a burrito at 2am, you meat up cooked and placed in a warmer over 15 hours ago. The lack of fresh ingredients makes this joint sub par.
Has cheap ice cream.

Review: The Burrito Joint offers inexpensive food with high quality ingredients. For instance, the restaurant receives their tortillas from local purveyors and only uses Basmati Rice, the most expensive of all rice varieties.
The Burrito Joint's emphasis on quality has quickly built a loyal customer base from its May 2006 founding, with delicious specialty burritos not offered anywhere else in Ann Arbor. For instance Jimmy's Burrito has half the rice and beans of a typical burrito but with double meat: choice sirloin steak mixed with chorizo, then topped with hot sauce, whole-aged jalapenos, and fresh chopped cilantro for an strong, delicious meaty flavor. The restaurant also has prided itself on its delivery operation, sharing space at 1200 Packard with Mr. Pizza, a premier pizza business in Ann Arbor. Delivery or carry-out can combine food from either Mr. Pizza or The Burrito Joint on the same tab, driver, and phone number.
Not to be missed, the food here is truly outstanding.

Review: I recently (Sept. 2007) had a veggie burrito there. I didn't order it, but I assume it was the #4 (Veggie Fajita). It was decent but short of the fawning review above. I thought it was slightly bland, although I appreciated the cilantro. I wouldn't have added this review except for the over-the-top review above, which I thought needed to be countered.
