This weekend is Pierogi Fest in Whiting. While I'll be getting my fill of Polish food on Saturday, today I headed to La Palma to get my bi-monthly steak burrito fix. The last time I went to a supermercado for a burrito I got a mouthful of mediocre steak and wilted, near slimy lettuce. This visit I hoped for vindication and fresh ingredients.



My desire for fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, and cilantro was satisfied upon arriving at the counter and seeing tubs of freshly chopped vegetables (Supermercado Ortega please take note). Beans, cheese, and sour cream were also added to the steak burrito. The steak, aside from containing 3 pieces of gristle and in need of more seasoning, was good. The red and green salsas were both very good and would have been enjoyed with complimentary chips if I hadn't got my order to go.

La Palma's steak burrito is very good overall due to excellent, fresh veggies and salsas. Had the steak been better, this burrito would be in my top 5 or so for flavor. Regardless, La Palma is worth checking out.
