I tried Armando's based on the positive reviews. I went 3 times to give it a fair shake, and:
* Armando's is Good, but Not Great.
The simple things are the best here: Their Chips & Salsa (free) are fantastic. The Jamaica is the best I've ever had (and that's saying a lot).
However, their meats, or rather the marinade and flavoring of the meats, left a lot to be desired. Most of the time they were all very bland, as if to allow different sauces to be poured on quickly to ""flavor"" it to a certain style. The Carnitas (pork) I had was too greasy and dripping with fat. The Lengua was tender, but not flavorful.
But the SIZE of the burritos was awesome! For $5.95, it was worth every penny! You come to Armando's for stuffing yourself on authentic Mexican food that's ""solid"" but just not ""great.""
Pros: Solid Mexican food, Cheap
Cons: Not flavorful enough, Too greasy at times
