I did not even know this place existed! I was heading to Kanata and was hungry so I went on…read moreUberEats and looked at "Deals" and Burrito Xpress popped up. They were offering buy one get one free Quesadillas for $14.95. I looked up the address and realized that they are where Nu Caribbean used to be (I didn't even know that Nu Caribbean closed down). I quickly ordered the quesadillas, and drove to the store for pickup.
They serve fast food Tex Mex, similar to Chipotle, Mucho Burrito, Bar Burrito, etc. You select your item (taco, burrito, quesadilla or bowl), your protein, and then your toppings.
So I chose chicken, black beans, lettuce, Pico de Gallo, cheese, roasted chickpeas and roasted sweet potatoes (yeah, I know, the last 2 toppings are weird to put in a quesadilla, but that's how I roll, lol).
The quesadillas were huge and heavy. Each one came in it's own separate box, cut into 4 pieces and came with salsa and sour cream on the side.
It was fantastic! The tortilla was so fresh. It was crispy on the surface, but still slightly chewy. I really loved it. They don't skimp on the toppings either.
I ate one and brought the other one home to my husband. He ate it but noted there was cilantro in it (an ingredient that he finds objectionable). Truth be told, I didn't even realize there was cilantro in it, lol. So if you don't like cilantro, you might want to discuss that with the staff before ordering. I didn't request cilantro as a topping, so it must be mixed into their meats or one of the sauces or toppings.
The lady who helped me was very friendly and welcoming.
It was such a great deal with the BOGOF, but even the regular price (which is only $11.95 if you buy directly from the store) is good.
This place is quite far from my house, but if I lived close by, I'd be there often.
There's some seating in the restaurant if you wanted to eat in. I took mine to go obviously.
The restaurant is close to A.Y Jackson highschool. I'm thinking they are popular with the highschool kids.
The restaurant is in a strip mall, next to Circle K. Free parking in the strip mall.
