carrburritos

amazing!! the burritos are super delicious and thesalsawas on point! super cool staff who where very helpful since we were first timers. great eats!

i had lived in durham/chapel hill area for 8years and heard about carrborito often. when visiting back i finally went and was disappointed. granted i got the tostada instead of the burrito but the carnitas were flavorless. thesalsafresca was fair but we ordered chips andsalsa(paid extra) and thesalsawas only given for the chips and not nearly enough for the salad. the dish was really bland and to be stingy with thesalsawas sad. then i ordered a horchata to find out that they cut it with milk (no dairy for me) which was not mentioned on the advertising when they said a rice drink which is not how it is supposed to be made. even hole in the wall mexican places don't cheap out this way. all in all, it did not live up to the hype and there is a way better place in durham 10 miles up 15-501 (nnt for short). wish we had gone that direction instead. it's cheaper and has a salsa/fixings bar.

however, the headliner at this place should be their salsas. they have six options to choose from, and as they say on their menu, everysalsahas its own fan club. their salsas are all made in house and taste incredibly fresh. if you have an inkling to venture out, theirsalsafrutas may quickly become your number one goto, happened to me. in fact, the last time i visited, i was pouring that richsalsaon my burrito until it was leaking through the tortilla. i’ll never apologize.

highly recommend for traveling vegan options.. we grabbed a guacamole burrito and a grilled vegetable burrito w/ guacamole. they were fabulous! black beans, rice, guacamole, andsalsain a sizable portion. the grilled veg was so very very satisfying. the yellow squash and zucchini were firm and very flavorful. it was perfect. my fiance and i were in from out-of-town and stopped to grab bite to take with us before getting on the road again. we ate them about 5 hours after they were made, yet they were amazing. we were dismayed that the sweet potatoes weren't vegan, but the grilled veg definitely hit it out of the park.
the staff were really nice as well, friendly and conversational.

i dream about this food. carburritossalsais perfection.

their meat is not overly spiced. . . so that you can taste the godlike salsa.

they don't shove in a bunch of filler (rice) . . . so that you can taste the magical unicorn blood they serve as salsa.

some say they are rude. . . it's because they're letting a mere mortal like you taste of theirsalsaheaven! stop complaining and take the gift ofsalsalife!!!

that being said, if you refuse to follow in the path ofsalsawhatever the price and whatever the spice, then you will be cast out of the kingdom of carburritos.

i had heard great things about carrburritos, but i found the food to be mediocre at best. the chicken was dry and flavorless. their flour chips were good, but everything is rather pricey. chips andsalsaare $3, and a can of soda will run you $1 (they don't have a fountain). for the quality and price, you're better off going somewhere else.
