Hit The Road (Portsmouth Store)

This is the only review that matters.

As someone who has tried the length and width of tex mex and Mexican food across the world - I sometimes try places more locally to me.

I want to preface this review by saying that this is an independent run business and the staff are all exceptionally friendly.

CONS:

The burritos are heated from frozen and that destroys any flavour / texture within them. They are large / very filling, but it's fodder. You're not buying for flavour here in my opinion. Unless the flavour is subtle sweet / bbq (which I was not expecting in my chicken burrito). The texture was like porridge. Couldn't taste the pico, couldn't taste the guac really. All I got was sweet reheated chicken.

Same goes for the beef chimichanga. Flavour was better than the chicken for sure, but there's this weird underlying sweet taste. Devoid of all texture / just a bit overwhelming.

PROS:

The fries are very good, but those are a stand-alone thing.

The blue cheese dip is the cheesiest blue cheese dip you'll ever have.

They included lollipops.

Constructive feedback would be to not reheat from frozen / prepare fresh to avoid the biggest flaw...

Ordered from here as of 24/1/24 Ordered cheesy fries a shake and a chicken burrito. Fries tasted of nothing other than pure salt. Like chewing salt rock. The burrito tasted like the rice had been reheated a week after it was made, either that or they just overcooked the arse out of it. The chicken inside was like patê. A chalky paste like substance that tastes overwhelmingly of BBQ and nothing else. My last order was not like this, or maybe it was and I just hadn't noticed. Anyway it's 24hours later and I'm pretty sure it's given me food poisoning. Feel disgusting and been in and out of the restroom on the hour every hour. Do not recommend. They need to improve their standards of flavour and cookery.... Was looking for authentic cuisine and this is...

Had a brilliant experience with HTR was browsing through Just Eat for something new, a different experience and stumbled across HTR. I find it really difficult to find new places to try who offer vegan options. I saw the Chicken Vegan Pieces being offered as a burrito and a chimichanga and immediately opted for the chimi! I have always heard about them but never ordered one before. Absolutely gigantic beautifully wrapped and divine! Lightly toasted on the outside and the inside was soft and packed with flavour. Lovely little note on the delivery bag and the fun treat included was such a warming surpise. Brilliant customer service. What a flavour experience! Definitely recommend others give...
