I love Mexican food and in my hometown there are a variety of Mexican restaurants that I frequent such a Moes and Chipotle. Never having heard of Olecito before coming to Boston University, I was curious to give it a try and see if it stood up to its competitors. Arriving during lunchtime, I found Olecito to be very crowded with hungry, eager students. After surveying the menu, 
I decided to order the chicken burrito. In ordering the burrito, I was able to choose between Mexican or Cilantro Rice and Black or Refried Beans. Ultimately I selected Mexican Rice and no beans. From a wide variety of toppings such as cheese, Pico de Gallo, guacamole, and sour cream, you are able to build your own burrito. All of the ingredients looked fresh and flavorsome. Olecito’s selection of special sauces certainly set it apart from its competitors. 
From Cilantro Pesto and Chipotle Mayo to hotter scale sauces like Serrano Chile and Pickled Carrot and Habanero, there is a sauce for everyone at Olecito. Overall I enjoyed the chicken burrito. The Mexican Rice was very tasty and the Pico de Gallo and Cilantro Pesto offered the right amount of flavor to complement the chicken. If you are not a dark meat person like myself make sure to speak up and ask for only white meat as the burrito is assembled right in front of you to accommodate you and your preferences. With an array of reasonably priced and flavorful selections I will definitely be heading back to Olecito in the near future.
