Review of Don Miguel El Charrito Steak Fajita Grande Bowls (Ep325)

29 Apr, 2010

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master

I always strive for a low priced meal. It’s even better when that meal fills you up right. This Don Miguel El Charrito Steak Fajita Grande Bowls seems to fit the bill with it’s $2 price tag and its 340g of food. So will this meal be all that it can be?

The Frozen Food Master reviews this product, shows you how it looks, tells you how it tastes, and gives you the lowdown in this episode of Freezerburns.

So if I've got just two dollars and want alot of frozen food in a meal I should stick with the beans and bbq pulled pork and not fool around with something that bills itself as steak. Got it!

The worst thing that comes in a large quantity: Traffic. Traffic jammed up on the freeway when I'm trying to drive to a restaurant to get some decent steak fajitas.

Annie, that is absolutely correct. Stay away from this one.

dog food? it looks like the dog has already “processed it”….

Fajitas are not even something to be done simple.

This was surely a disaster.

Excellent review! My answer would have to be flood waters. I mean, after all, water isn't really a bad thing until it gets into large quantities. Then you're hosed.

So Greg, would you ever consider doing a Best of the Worst Frodown? You know, take the worst reviewed products you've had and put them head to head to pick an ultimate winner for either best of the worst or absolute worst product of all time? I'm sure it would be highly entertaining!

Come on, don't pussyfoot around it, tell us what you *really* think.

Heather, that Frodown is a great idea!

The worst food in a large quantity would be a man who ate 2 large cheese pizzas + 1 slice in 12 minutes. An IFOCE (http://www.ifoce.com) world pizza eating contest! The grossest thing I've ever witnessed!

What would it take to get no stars?

I think you're going to need a bigger spit bucket. And about a case of altoids.

1/2 star is THE lowest rating you can get. My philosophy is that if it got zero stars there may be some thought that I may have forgotten to assign it a rating. Its like when you have poor service at a restaurant. Leaving a penny for a tip is way more effective than leaving nothing at all.

I see makes alot of sense that way.

Crap – I just bought a Don Miguel “Saltillo Dinner” thats 4 enchiladas rice & beans, I thought it would be good to bring to work for dinner but now I'm afraid to even try it!
Draco

Rice is a grain, not kernel. Otherwise, I totally agree with this review!

“Pure nastiness”…classic! But come on, even Andrew Zimmern trys everything twice….you should have a 2 bite minimum! LOL

Worst thing in huge quantity: The Pizza Hut lunch buffet. Unless you want to spend the afternoon reading War & Peace in the bathroom. Because you WILL be there that long….

Cici's Pizza is the worst thing in a large quantity. I think I liked it once when I was five, but that's because I spent the whole time eating brownies. Their pizza is disgusting and leaves me with a stomach ache every time. Then again, it is only about four bucks for a buffet so it might be appealing if you only have a couple bucks to live on lol.

I usually like the El Charrito offerings, but the Grande bowl was not up to par…

Any meal at Granite City.

The worst thing in large quantities is very easily car problems, lol. One car problem is enough, but when you’ve got 2, 3, more in one month, it can drive a person nuts.
