Normal burrito cart ingredients, (rice, beans, onion, etc) Somehow they get the ingredients all mixed up and the cheese melted inside the burrito. Must put everything on the grill first. Awesome cheesy, meaty goodness. They have really good red sauce too. Don't know if it's out of a can, but it's creamy? You people complaining about the burritos must not eat at a lot of burrito carts. I've eaten a lot of dried out, day old ingredients, gamey meat, burritos off carts (and in taquerias), but never had a bad burrito here yet. All in all, one of the top burrito carts in town!

Yes, the meats are a bit too salty, which is part of the deal with most Mexican food, but so what? The flavors are out of this world, and the tortillas are "hecho a mano", soft, toothsome and delicious. Viva La Chiquita!

I went to La Chiquita yesterday for lunch and hijole, there was a table of 3 young latino dudes chowing down on tacos, complete with sangria in the bottle. I got a carne asada burrito: delicious salty carne asada, complete with fatty, gristly chunks, just like it ought to be. They do it Oregon style though, substituting some of the meat for rice, and the rice was somewhat mushy, point deductions for that. The Aguacate (guacamole) was perfect on top. I shared a table with Arturo from Cuernavaca, Morelos. He had been there before while working a tilesetting job up the street and came all the way from Clackamas on his day off! That's what I call voting with your gas money. Arturo recommended the consomme (beef broth). I'm having that next time. The best test of a roach coach is if the Mexicans are eating there.

Wow - you must have gone on a bad day or something. I ate there a couple of weeks ago and thought it was great. I didn't have a burrito however, I had tacos. I had the spicy beef, the beef cheek (cabeza) and the beef tongue (lengua) tacos all served on soft, double tortilles (which is a nice touch). Only $1.50 each, and all really good. All freshly made, with terrific spice and herb notes. Pickled veggies come as a side for free, and they have a bunch of salsas/sauces to choose from. I'll be back for sure. Gross??
