Raging Burrito

See Gone, But Not Forgotten

Raging Burrito started as the first Rochester-area manifestation of the California taqueria-style fad that has swept much of the country. The burritos were as thick as a burly man's forearm and generally consist mostly of rice, beans, and then other fillings that the diner selects. In addition to burritos, they had an array of appetizers, burgers, pizza, sandwiches, salads, and even a garbage plate.

The business is now Hot Shots.

The Chipotle burrito was the best, the Jamaican Jerk one was a little weird with the excessive clove flavor, but spiced up with some Frank's Chile Lime, tasted ok. The Mexican Plate was ok. Prices are good, in the $7-8 range, so we all were happy. And it's close to home! Cheaper than Chipotle, but not quite as flavorful. —KatieSchmitz

I notice they have the same logo, slogan, a similar menu and of course, name. The one in Atlanta says they've been open since 1996. —sub619
