Desk Test: Giant Express Burritos May be Too Much of a Good Thing

The Delivery: Tüzes csirkés burrito (óriás) (Fiery chicken burrito, giant-size, Ft 1,190)
From: Taco Express, via Netpincér.hu (Ft 150 delivery charge)
The Lowdown: Buoyed with the euphoria of surviving our near-death experience with Tuesday's hemorrhagic stroke pizza, we decided today to test a similarly menacing-sounding home-delivery item. Actually, this was our second test of Taco Express' giant fiery chicken burrito. From what we dimly recall of the first one, it kicked our ass so hard we didn't even bother trying to write a review.

The picture above, which is from our first attempt, may give a hint of the problem. The thing is huge! Meanwhile, back then we made the dreadful mistake of ordering the complete giant burrito menu, which came with a side of greasy fries big enough to put us under all by itself, as well as an order of express's excellent Jalapeño poppers. Throw in the burrito, and it's clear we never had a chance.

This time we tried to order with our heads, and just went with the big burrito à la carte, with only the two small containers of salsa and pink dipping sauce that come with it. But it was still a bit of a struggle. If only the thing wasn't so damn tasty, we'd wise up and order something else, or at least the non-giant version.
