Food Review: Five Guys & La Puente

I realize that in posting this I might make a few enemies (aka Mrs. R), and I am sure that people will come out of the wood works to tell me their disgust with me, but I am entitled to my opinion! So without further adieu...my "eh, could have done without these meals" review.
Before I ever think about doing a food review, I always try the place multiple times. I feel like sometimes you just get a bad meal, and you can't judge a place by one bad experience.
I have been to Five Guys a couple of times now. I still don't like their fries, because I am more of a Carl's Jr, Burger King, and Mickey D's fry girl. The first time that I went my burger was good, and then there was my most recent experience...eh, not so good. My bun was really dry. They put way too much of each sauce, and it soaked right up in the bun...making it really soggy. frowny-face. I feel like if you are going to charge that much for a burger, it should have all fresh ingredients.
My next stop was La Puente. I have tried a variety of their food, and nothing is spectacular. I thought that their salsa was pretty good, but it kind of weirds me out that they have it in a ketchup bottle. I dunno why!?This most recent experience Paul and I both got a beef chimichanga. The temperature was unsatisfactory, but Paul will tell you that I have high standards in that area. The only thing in it was beef and cheese...leaving it very dry if you weren't brave enough for their HOT chile verde sauce. Which, by the way, got on a piece of Van's rice, and brought her to tears...literally. I would hands down pick a chimi from Beto's before ever going back to eat this again.

Hopefully next week I will have better reviews to report.

Dieting is not for me, a muffin top is what I'll be!
