Bachelor Living...For a Couple Hours...Leads to Bad Choices

I was abandoned tonight by Karen and Lily for more fun options. I mean I am fairly boring so I don't blame them. Just kidding I cried for an hour like the wuss I am. In reality Lily had what actual parents call a play date and dinner with her best friend. With that in play I found my self in bachelor mode and on my own as far as picking what to eat. Decisions, decisions, decisions... Now my first inclination was to go Mexican cause I mean that's always a default in my mind. Then I remembered my friend Jim suggested a bit ago that I try Burger King's Whopperrito. So basically decided to kill two birds with one stone, and opted to try the Whopperito.

Driving up to Burger King was kind of weird as I hadn't been there in many years. I would venture 2 years at the least. I think growing up I loved their chicken sandwiches and then later on the rodeo cheeseburger which would have been around college. I mean the Whopper, which I keep wanting to type Whooper for some reason, is their signature item but that wouldn't compare to those two.

Funny enough I think the last time my sister ate Burger King was the first time she met Karen. Don't recall what it was that was ordered but she immediately regretted it and on the long drive back to my mom's I had to hit the gas. No pun intended. Not sure what Karen was thinking as my sister was acting like she just ate a sack of sliders from White Castle. Luckily my sister didn't associate Karen with that event and they grew to love each. #PooPals4Life

I really didn't look up anything about Whopperrito (still trying to type Whooperito) so didn't even know what was inside of it. Not really sure what I thought the Whopperrito was going to taste like. Maybe a Whopper that replaced the buns with a tortilla? A small lame tortilla like a breakfast burrito from McDonald's. Are those called McBurritos? And really you can't go by the restaurant pictures or commercials cause you know all those make whatever food look way better and bigger than they really are.  I think I almost changed my mind a couple times while doing the short drive to Burger King. No worries I toughed it out and maintain bachelor mode #YOLO resolve.

I ended up getting the meal  cause I had no clue what the size of the burrito would be...THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! (Tina shout out). I can say fast food wise, Burger King fries are pretty terrible. Are they even made of potatoes? I would assume they would have some sort of survey/testing department to work out those kinks. Apparently not.  I didn't take a picture of them as I ate them on the drive back home. You're not missing anything for sure.

The unwrapped Whopperito

The Whopperrito (once again typed Whooperito first) actually was bigger than the McBurrito. Now I don't have Trump size hands so you can rest assure that the burrito is a decent size. THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID pt. 2.

Damn sexy hand next to the Whopperito

So the Whopperrito was not really like a Whopper in a tortilla at all. Not even like a burger in a tortilla to be honest. I kind of would liken it to hard shell tacos we use to get back in grade school/high school but with bigger chunks of meat. Looking up Burger King's website description:
The WHOPPERRITO™ is made with savory flame-grilled 100% beef and seasoned with a special blend of spices to deliver the ultimate burger-burrito mashup. It’s stuffed with a creamy Queso, pickles, diced onions, juicy tomatoes, and crisp lettuce all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla.

What's on the Inside of the Whopperrito

Honestly didn't think the "creamy queso" stood out at all. Most notable components was the meat, tomato, spices, and tortilla. Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention to the other items or the spices/sauce was overpowered the taste of everything else.  Either way I actually thought it beat my expectations and wasn't too shabby- definitely had a slight (in Reef's world) kick to it so if you're spicy tolerance is low you might not enjoy it. I did think Karen wise that adding sour cream might have added to the experience.

Overall I enjoyed it. Would I go out of my way to buy one again? Probably not. Still I would say out of new fast food items from the major joints, this actually might be the best I've tried in a long while. I would recommend giving it a shot- unless you're my sister, vegan, vegetarian, have strict diet restrictions, are on a diet, hate Burger King, don't like pseudo Mexican food, are scared of the King mascot, and/or are a McDonald's loyalist.
