Post holiday catch up over Mexican food - yes please? And that was the plan with Ling and Noah. The conversation would be good for certain so hopefully the food would also be up to scratch.
High Tech Burrito is on Glenferrie Road and looks like another quasi Subway or fast food outlet. And it's the usual fast food drill, look up at a menu, order at the counter, take a seat in a plastic chair at a melamine table.
I actually arrived early so took a seat and waited and I wasn't made exceptionally welcome but nor did I receive funny looks for sitting there alone with no order. When we did finally order the attendant was friendly and offered an opinion on what was good when asked so this marked High Tech Burrito as a step above one of the many fast food chains.

We shared some nachos and chose the nachos loco which come topped with pico de gallo, black beans, sour cream and a choice of meat and we chose pulled pork. As Ling is a non cheese lover, we requested the cheese on the side. Good nachos! The actual nachos were crisp and light and in spite of eating lots they didn't get too greasy or heavy on the stomach. The pork was tender and there was a good amount of it.
Ling went for the fish tacos which she declare ok but not a huge hit. I'm giessing the fish was frozen.

I went for the:
GRILLED FAJITA BURRITO
GRILLED STEAK OR CHICKEN SAUTÉED WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS, MELTED CHEESE, SPANISH RICE, SALSA, LIME SOUR CREAM, IN A GRILLED FLOUR TORTILLA
I opted for steak and the meat tasted fresh and of good quality. The whole thing tasted good but I guess it's hard to mess up this kind of mushed up together meal.

Steve and Noah went for:
GODZILLA ™ THE MONSTER STEAK & CHICKEN, BEANS, SPANISH RICE, CHEESE, GUACAMOLE, LIME SOUR CREAM, LETTUCE, TOMATOES, ONIONS, BLACK OLIVES, AND MILD SALSA IN A GRILLED FLOUR TORTILLA.
It was just huge. You can see in this picture that it's a burrito that needs both hands. Given there was not much left behind of this animal of a burrito, we can only conclude it was good!
High Tech Burrito does offer a superior burrito to the likes of Salsa's. The quality of the core ingredients is better so altogether a better burrito is created. Having said that is it worth travelling out to...hmmm...I probably wouldn't make the trek myself as Salsa's is ok enough to satisfy a craving! If in the area, it's worth a drop in for sure.
