Fat Bastard Burrito Co.

Burrito restaurant

🫤 Decided to give this place another try after a poor experience the first time. Unfortunately, missed the mark again after a soggy burrito the first time. Meat was cold and overall did not taste as appetizing when comparing to other places. Not to mention $15

Chef Todd's kitchen

Family restaurant

😐 I tried both the lunch and dinner catering options. The chicken and rice were pretty good, however, the consensus among my peers and I was that the pasta dishes were generally not great.
