The Take
Burritos from chains are not healthy. Slop Score 38 because the solid steak-beans-rice core gets wrecked by fryer oil and oversized flour wraps that bloat you for hours.
The identity play here is convenience cope: office workers and gym bros grabbing one to signal they ate 'Mexican' without cooking, while ignoring how rice-heavy builds hide cheap filler and mystery meat defaults.
The Verdict
Skip the drive-thru entirely. Build your own with tallow, grass-fed beef, and real cheese for zero marketing lies and actual nutrition.
Slop Score 38.
