Counter Offer to Boloco
If their burritos didn't suck, and/or if their burritos weren't so expensive we would buy more of them.
Considering that the more distant and oft-crowded Annas is pretty much an anex to my own kitchen these days, that's a considerable number of pesos that they don't get from us now.
Any vegetarians in Medford?
A competitor to Anna's could win vegetarian customers by offering a vegetarian-safe rice&beans burrito, and publicizing that Anna's doesn't.
Anna's is mostly great, but the vegetarian-hostile rice is discouraging.
Sure
Most either ignore the "dirty" rice at Annas if they aren't too worked up over broth, or they are the more strict type and go to Boloco and then complain about the improperly cooked beans.
vegetarians eat chicken... right?
Please, educate yourself.
Anna's rice&bean burritos are safe for...
...ovo-lacto-brotho vegetarians.
Your comment makes no
Your comment makes no sense...
I think they need to do more
I think they need to do more then cater to the Medford Vegetarian masses if they want to stay afloat.
Anna's now offers rice that
Anna's now offers rice that isn't cooked in chicken broth.
I like Boloco's, but it isn't the same as Anna's.
Great news, thanks
I will have to go see.
They are way too expensive
They are way too expensive for what you get that is so true. Plus I never liked the texture of their wraps. The whole place is just over rated.
This promotion advertises a price reduction
so it might be worth trying again. Also, they do have veggie burritos.
If their burritos didn't
If their burritos didn't suck, and/or if their burritos weren't so expensive we would buy more of them.
Discussion over.
Ah, well.
Dude tried this in the Davis Square community a year or so ago when the Davis Boloco was in trouble. Those of us who enjoyed the place dutifully went in and bought our burritos.
Didn't help.
Godspeed, little Boloco.
survival of the tastiest
If the Tufts students are bypassing Boloco in order to go down to Anna's in Davis (unscientific visual appraisal suggests they are), then maybe Boloco just isn't good enough. Having never tried one I can't say for myself, but Anna's has always been #1 for my wife and me, and one burrito place is all we need.
Nop
I love Boloco burritos. I've never had an Anna's though ...
Boloco Teriyaki Tofu is delicious ... and I think it's worth $6.19 plus tax.
Plus, free wifi.
Not fair
It's really unfair of you all to be discussing burritos during Passover. Have you no mercy?
OK, for you ...
Chocolate-Covered Caramelized Matzo Crunch:
The writer is amazed at how flavorful it is - however, I suspect the two sticks of butter, one cup of sugar and one cup of chocolate chips has a lot more to do with that than the matzoh (and I say this as somebody who sometimes eats the stuff even after Passover).
I also wonder how deep her friend's affection for Passover foods really goes - I have NEVER met anybody who didn't grow up with the stuff who actually likes gefilte fish.
Taunting
I ended up in a BU dorm cafeteria last Friday. At the dessert station they had all these fantastic brownies, cakes, etc. and then next to those was a sorry basket of matzo. I wondered why they didn't just have a staff member there yelling, "NEENER NEENER NEENER!"
matzo heath bars are the shit
I'm about to whip some up now, in fact.
Since I'll probably get maimed if I don't add something of the sort to this scene that's currently awaiting my spouse's return from work:

Who knew.
Really??? I thought matzo was just that flavorful!! I didn't realize it had something to do with the butter, sugar, and chocolate I put all over it. Wow, how disappointing :(
i'm catholic, eat "passover
i'm catholic, eat "passover food", and gefilte fish happens to be one of my favorite foods. sooooooooo... guess you've been proven wrong.
sara
Thank you for proving me wrong
Now if only you could convince my wife and kidlet to stop going "EW!" whenever I bring a jar home :-).
Anything related to goldfish....
is not something I eat, adamg. Carp, is related to goldfish, a pet.
Remind me to take you down to the Charles ....
So we can see the giant mutant goldfish that would make good eatin' if only they weren't swimming around in the Charles.
Oh, and remind me to tell you about your great-grandmother, who used to buy live carp and keep them in the bathtub until she was ready to make them into gefilte fish.
I'm glad....
We've already had dinner.
Ayup
You don't want to know what she did with chickens. Let's just say they were pretty fresh when she bought them.
Gefilte? Good, But...
... if you're a goy and you really want to impress your Jewish friends, have a few bowls of Shav.
I truly like both. MY WIFE thinks I'm insane for eating cat food and weeds.

Shav?
Oh, God. Next you'll tell us you drink borscht by the jugful.
One vote for the borscht here
But you gotta make it yourself. That watery stuff from the jars is no good. I like it best when it's spicy enough to give you a reason to put sour cream in it.
You should 'passover' the Masshole sarcasm :)
Kudos to Susie for trying something new and making a Jewish dish during the Holiday!
I'm a Qdoba fan myself
Cilantro rice...mmmm...::drool::
Here's why
Sterile atmosphere. Smallish burritos. Inconsistent quality. Most employees don't really care.
Boloco-ex
I worked at another Boloco for a few months while in school. It was ok for a while, but then things changed. Our location didn't have a real manager. It was crazy.
No Sympathy
They pale in comparison to Chipotle and Anna's. There is no contest. They are losing and closing because they are just not as tasty.
Love Boloco
I love me some Anna's...I do. actually, I specifically love the Tacos al Pastor. But really, the quality of the ingredients in a Boloco burrito far outshines the typical Chipotle / Qdoba burrito and still outshines Anna's, but not as far. Have you tried a Buffalo chicken burrito at Boloco? YUM!!!
Boloco on Twitter
Boloco wants to be as famous as Ashton on Twitter. What a joke company. Stick to making burritos. Leave the twittering to the wannabees.
big brother boloco
He likes to stalk people.
burritos?
They don't sell burritos. More like wraps.
Boloco has burritos
That's not true. They have quite a few burritos. Not as authentic as Chipotle or Qdoba, but they have burritos.
Boloco or Potlucko?
I have never been to a place that was so consistently inconsistent.
It's is either craptastic with horrid customer service.
or
Awesome, with happy and fun staff! Yay!
The Burritos are either loaded up with plenty of meat and other goodness!
or
Have a minimal amount of everything and are soft and squishy. Yuck!
They also stopped their breakfast menu - *tear* - the breakfast burrito was AWESOME!
Sooo... if you're bold and daring, head on in, you may have some good eats or you will end up sad and unfulfilled.
Good Luck!
Free food
Maybe they'll give away more free food before they close. Fingers crossed.
