red hot kitchen

short rib burrito

type of food: korean/mexican fusion

price: $5-10

atmosphere: situated virtually away from the city is little (and i really mean little...the place has inside seating for about 8-10 and outside seating for about 5-6) ole red hot kitchen. the place, although small, is clean and tidy. the inside seating is small and cozy with modern furnishings. definitely casual and a place to grab a quick bite to eat-- no place for a get together with a bunch of friends or whatnot. parking is street parking, but not too much of an issue...will be able to find parking within a block or so.

rating: 9.5 out of 10. one of my friends, Michael Kae, is pretty much obsessed with this place and for good reasons. the place is cheap: the burrito was less than $5 and needed two hands to hold up (my way of measuring the worth of a burrito). the burrito was filled (no skimping here) with rice, a bit of greens, and meat meat meat. the meat was succulent and marinated perfectly. the only problem i might have with the burrito (hence the 9.5 and not a perfect 10) would be the choice in type of rice. they use the sticky type of rice (korean type) as opposed to the non-sticky-more-mexican rice. i would have preferred the mexican rice....but that's a preference. in all, the place is greatly priced and yummy. definitely will be coming back to get a taste at their tacos soon.
