 Oops!  You're right of course.  I haven't been there in almost 5 years,
 and most of the times I was there I was drunk, so please excuse my shoddy
 memory.  I could have sworn Burrito Loco was the name, but I must have
 heard that name somewhere else (like here in Seattle, perhaps?).

 In any case -- those were some huge goddamn burritos.

 I'd go there.

 This place could have chosen a better name, "Burrito Loco" sounds more
 on the caliber of a Taco Time.  However, the food is all handmade, very
 authentic, and delicious.  It is a small family-run operation.  They
 have been growing by leaps and bounds in recent years as more people
 discover them.  Their burritos are fairly large, but the quality is
 what sets them apart.  Additionally, the prices are extremely low.
 Try their namesake, the "Burrito Loco".  The other dishes I've tried
 have also been quite good.  Give it a try!
