Pulling in to St Cloud we asked our twitter followers for the best places to eat in the city. We received several responses, but @robinmarie suggested Bravo Burrito, and being that we hadn’t ventured into the Mexican food genre on the trip we decided to give it a try.

I arrived just before they closed at 9pm, along with about 15 other people. The staff, needless to say, was less than pleased. I used to work in a sub shop in college and I can recall this happening to me several times, and of course it would always happen when I had some busy evening planned. So, I could feel their pain but when a man needs a burrito, he needs a burrito. I ordered the Fajitas Burrito, and when it arrived I instinctvly reached for my belt buckle to take it out a notch… this burrito was huge.

Having somewhat recently graduated from college, I still consider myself somewhat of an expert when it comes to gigantic burritos… and this one registered up there with some of the best. The perfect proportion of cheese and sour cream to the other ingredients. This for me is everything. You could empty out a tub of sour cream on a burrito and I wouldn’t complain. The salsa added a nice little kick and everything tasted delightful.

My many thanks to @robinmarie for the suggestion, I thouroughly enjoyed the meal. And to the staff of Bravo Burrito, my apologies for making you stay a bit later.
