California Burrito Express: Late Night Drunk Fave!

You're bouncing up and down in a club, you're slurring, and you can't talk anymore because the alcohol is finally getting to you. And if you're like me, you don't get horny, you get hungry. You go to California Burrito Express.
Now, please don't drink and drive. Be smart enough to get there by manipulating the designated driver with the last ounce of persuasion before you finally succumb to the alcohol. It will be worth the drive to Colonial-Fashion Square Mall area. It's not going to be fancy or entertaining. It's just going to be a midnight rendezvous with a delicious burrito.
Be mindful of other customers- at least one will be homeless and some others are like you- drunk, tired, and huuuuuuunggry. It's when I've had one too many martinis that I realize the beauty of refried beans and two burritos loaded with beef ($7). Stuffed with small chunks of red meat goodness, the burrito is dotted here and there with guacamole and salsa.
At a separate small salsa bar, you'll find crisp taco chips with a spicy salsa verde and a milder red salsa. There's also a few other things such as a carrot-chunk salsa and onion-tomato salsa that are rotated daily, but I never seem to get to them. The stomach voraciously calls for the burrito and drunk brain only seems to oblige.
It's delicious. It's what your stomach needs to soak up that vodka, rum, gin or whatever you're drinking loaded with ethanol. And it's a welcome reception. As it glides into your stomach, your mouth agrees that some spicy salsa verde mixed into the burrito would make it a better experience. Not that you need more entertainment- sometimes you get very lucky. For instance a few months ago, some drunk frat group came in with their girl 'friends' and the overheard conversation was something like:

*Girl crying* "Whyyyyyyy, wuhy does he not lyyke mi??"
*Accused boy politely leaves the restaurant to avoid a scene for a cigarette*
*Girl continuing to ensue drama with her gal pal* "We'd be so purfect togethar"
*Muffled sobbing* "I think I'm going to use the bathroom"
*Semi-concerned other girl* "Omigod, should I come with you? Please don't say you're gonna puke."
*Homeless guy in the corner pays attention to what will happen next*


Who needs late night Springer on a flat screen when you get live entertainment?

IN A NUT SHELL: Go for a real meaty burrito. They claim to be busy with the lunch crowd in the Fashion Square Mall area but at night, it's just as fun. It's clean and well lit inside and out. It's where the old Fazzoli's was and the interior decor hasn't changed much. It’s a cheap bite and one of the few places around the city that are open 24hrs.
