		<description>I've been back here quite a few times over the last two years, and generally been quite happy with the food, if not the extensive lines that seem to pop up at lunch time in particular. I was back today for my first time in about six months, and was happy to see they've added a secondary cooking station at the storefront where they can handle "to go" orders. That seems to keep the line inside to a much more manageable length, though, it does mean they lost a bit of seating in front.

I've received a few e-mails over the last couple of months asserting a sudden and unexpected downturn in quality at CBC so I wanted to check it out. Unfortunately, at least based on today's experience, I'd have to agree to a certain extent - though in only two specific areas. The tortillas were a soggy, doughy mess - not cooked all the way through on the griddle before being popped in the steamer, and they were falling apart as the young ladies behind the counter handled them; and, they've cut back on how much filling goes into them - though, I'd say the quality of the filling is as good as ever was - a half dozen little cublets of meat were dropped atop a pile of rice, and when I commented to the server, her return was "no nos permiten a poner mas que eso nada mas" - or, roughly "they won't let us put more than that anymore". The menu prices haven't really gone up, I guess they've simply chosen to cut costs by cutting back on the more expensive ingredients. The &lt;em&gt;fuego&lt;/em&gt; sauce has improved and is at least mildly spicy, though I still think if you're going to call it a "fire" sauce, it ought to at least make you sweat a little.</description>

		<description>[...] I had to do a double take when I first saw Saltshaker&#8217;s blog post, Wrap it Up! In a tortilla please, proclaiming the existence of a new burrito restaurant in Buenos Aires. Yes, that&#8217;s right, Buenos Aires - the city that spicy food forgot. The California Burrito Co, CBC for short, had apparently come to spice up the lives of us expats in BA - literally, not metaphorically, of course. I immediately knew I had to check this place out.
