I
come
from
the
Silicon
Valley
and
live
nearby
so
have
been
curious
about
this
place.
Bottom
line:
one
of
the
better
burritos
I've
had
in
ZH,
but
pricing
is
a
problem,
made
worse
by
trickery.
They
use
a
sneaky
and
unethical
deception
with
their
menu,
which
is
unlike
a
normal
menu
that
shows
a
full
price
for
an
item.
Here,
they
offer
a
"solo
burrito"
(top
of
the
menu)
for
a
whopping
13.90
plus
numerous
options
each
showing
their
respective
additional
price
(much
farther
down),
like
the
Vegi
Grande
which
shows
+2Sfr,
making
their
basic
vegi
burrito
cost
15.90,
but
nowhere
on
the
menu
do
you
see
that
number,
so
psychologically
you
feel
it's
a
better
deal.
This
is
a
trick.
Imagine
a
(real)
restaurant
menu
showing
a
note
at
the
top
"all
our
dishes
cost
Sfr20
plus
the
individual
options
below"
where
next
to
Spaghetti
Bolognese
you
see
Sfr4...
Seems
like
a
great
deal,
all
these
tiny
numbers...
I
asked
for
the
"Solo
burrito"
and
was
told
that
doesn't
exist,
"But
it
says
right
there,
it's
13.90"
I
say,
but
No.
Sorry.
This
is
fast
food.
Wait
in
line,
counter
service,
no
table
service,
etc.
My
Vegi
Grande
was
good
but
cost
2.5X
my
fav
burrito
from
Zona
Rosa
in
San
Francisco
(now
closed)
where
life
ain't
cheap
but
until
recently
they
still
sold
their
basic
vegi
for
less
than
$7,
plus
chips
&
salsa,
and
it's
bigger,
too.
I
got
not
chips
with
my
16Sfr
vegi.
Chips
and
salsa
here
cost
4.90
so
a
real
comparison
means
6.50
vs
20.80
or
3.2X
the
real
CA
vegi
burrito.
With
a
drink
you're
paying
25Sfr
for
fast
food!
Down
the
street
they
sell
wraps
for
10...
I'm
glad
they
don't
wrap
with
aluminum
which
is
then
trashed
instead
of
recycled
like
most
other
places,
so
that's
good.
They
sell
a
home-made
syrup
"tea"
drink
in
a
throw-away
plastic
cup
for
almost
4Sfr.
Ouch.
They
should
ALL
follow
Hiltl's
lead
and
offer
water
for
free.
Finally,
the
workers
are
on
per
du
with
their
customers,
which
isn't
acceptable
in
other
restaurants
or
shops
or
anywhere
else,
so
why
is
it
okay
here?
