I may have made a mistake. The pain is real.
$27 of really greasy deep fried foods, when I just spent a year losing weight and eating (relatively) healthy.
Burrito w/Everything
Large 'Pocket Burger'
Onion Rings
Fried 'Shrooms
5 Deep Fried Meat & Cheese Tacos
A really gargantuan Dr Pepper

First thing were the 'Shrooms. Just your regular, garden variety mushrooms. They weren't bad. Burnt my mouth, though. Everything was still pretty hot.

Next I ate the onion rings. These were...weird. They were almost...burnt? They actually tasted good when they were still blazingly hot, but they cooled off really fast. Then I ended up wondering if these were old ones that were refried, if their oil had been super hot, or if they left them in too long.

Next was the 'pocket burger'. Some of the pictures I took were super blurry. But the meat felt like it was ground super-fine. Much finer than your regular ground beef. The filling almost had a Taco-Bell consistency. I was worried that it would crumble and fall out of the bun, but you'd have to try it to really understand. There may have been cheese mixed into the meat but you couldn't see it, and it wasn't super cheesy tasting. The toppings seemed like mustard, and some sort of pickle relish.
The bun was really kind of soft. Reminded me of White Castle somewhat.
It honestly wasn't bad, and had some heft to it. After this and the two appetizers, I felt like I could have called it and left comfortably full.
Shitty, blurry pics INC. I didn't realize how bad they were until I got home.

The 'everything burrito'. Tasted kind of like a slightly better microwave burrito that was deep fried and then smothered. Lots of beans/onions/salsa. I thought there'd be some cheese on top but not sure I saw any.

Next were the tacos. 5 Meat & Cheese. I initially thought about getting 10, but I thought better of it when I ordered. Which was a good call, because I still have a bit of a stomach ache.

Meat filling in taco shell, deep fried, lettuce/tomato/etc added, then powdered cheese on top.
The immense amount of grease started getting to me here.
Oddly enough, the powdered cheese didn't seem all that noticeable. Whenever I've had these at work (people collect cash and go pick it up to bring back) the powdered cheese really stood out. Maybe because I ate a lot of other stuff first?
