Unlike week one of my quest for burrito excellence, this week I went to a well known and popular restaurant. Taqueria Zacatecas, more commonly referred to as "Taco Z" by locals and students, is located just minutes away from campus. The restaurant is positioned on La Salle Ave between S 23 St and S 25 St, just a couple blocks off of the circle.
As per usual, fellow burrito connoisseurs joined me in my search for the Waco's finest burrito. This week I am joined by Griffin, Brandon and Jeremy as seen in the photos below. These gentlemen became overjoyed at the mere thought of savoring a burrito from Taqueria Zacatecas.

We arrive to restaurant, as we have many times in the past, and are surprised to find it not overwhelmingly busy. Generally the restaurant is filled to the brim throughout the day with other Baylor students craving a quality meal at a reasonable price. The building has an open design and the eating area is basically a covered patio. It might be preferable to get your order to go or to utilize the drive-thru window on days with adverse weather or severe heat.
Not long after arriving, we wait in a short line and then place our orders. In less than ten minutes we are summoned by order number to the window to grab our food. It is now the moment of truth as I struggle to maintain self-control while walking my precious burrito back to our table.
The burrito, in all of its beauty, is simple. Within its delectable flour tortilla shell lies chicken fajita meat, rice, beans, lettuce and tomatoes. The ingredients are fresh and generously served as they stumble out of their tortilla cage upon consumption. This being said, the best part of the meal is easily the restaurant's green salsa. How can something so simple taste so delicious? It is what sets this burrito apart from being a tasty and filling treat to being a true competitor for the throne of "Waco's Best Burrito."
Taqueria Zacatecas lives up to the hype surrounding it. The taste, quality, and quantity of food make the restaurant a location worthy of frequenting. After this particular visit as well as the other times I have eaten at "Taco Z," I strongly recommend a burrito or taco lover to give it a try.
It is only week two of my quest and a fierce competitor has already entered the game. It will be exciting to see what other burritos attempt to snatch the elusive crown and honor of "Waco's Best Burrito."
