Review: Yearbook Taco’s Burritos
Thursday night before the big snow storm, Yearbook Taco was quiet, with a few dimly lit booths full of patrons and an empty bar. The atmosphere was casual and seat yourself with menus and cutlery in a caddy on the table, but wait staff was prompt to greet guests and take drink orders.
Yearbook Taco’s prices were all reasonable, even for those watching their wallet. The restaurant is a good way to skip the fast food and grab some good eats with friends after class. One taco is $4, three tacos are $11 and a burrito is $9, making them slightly pricier than Chipotle.
My burrito arrived shortly after ordering. It looked so beautiful and delicious I completely forgot to take an artistic picture of it for Instagram; I was ready to dig in. It was large, certainly bigger than a Chipotle burrito, making the price seem more appropriate. The burrito was served on a slider with a metal plate that liked to slip around every time I tried to cut into my burrito. A standard plate would have been a better choice for the king-sized meal. My frustration over the poor choice in platter was lessened by the wonderful taste. When it first arrived I only planned to eat half; however, it was so good my plate was bare before I knew it.
Located on the ice rink side of the Downtown Mall, parking can be an issue, but it is definitely worth the trouble. Seating for larger parties could also prove troublesome, as the restaurant is lined with only four-person booths and one larger table towards the back. It is a good place for a small gathering as they will split the check up to four ways. Bottom line, Yearbook Taco is a fantastic place to hang out and get food for a small check.
