Al Pastor Super Burrito, La Victoria Taqueria (Hayward, CA)

Most reviews of this place mention the "orange sauce," and this one is no different. I really didn't know what to expect, and for some reason had my mind made up that it would taste like oranges. It doesn't. 

By some sort of fast food alchemy, LaVic managed to turn the taste of nacho cheese Dorito powder into a liquid. If I were a total fatass, I'd buy a few bottles of this stuff, and I'd put it on everything (and probably gross out anyone nearby). After my first taste, the culinary possibilities flooded my mind: Orange sauce on pizza. Orange sauce on broccoli. Orange sauce on my sad desk lunches!

Now before this becomes a sauce review and not a burrito review I'll say this: I was even hesitant to put any sauce on my burrito in the first place. It was so tasty, I thought it really didn't need anything else. Good balance of ingredients, and a sensible portion of rice.

LaVic is in a strip mall a little ways away from Hayward's town center. Getting off at the South Hayward BART stop would have made for an easier trip, but we needed a decent bike ride to and from the place to work this one off. Hayward's a cute little town with a really good brewery (Buffalo Bill's- had a great red ale there). Consensus seems to be that the "best burrito in town" title goes to either La Victoria or Taqueria Senaida's, so I may have to make a trip back to make a proper judgement.
