Additional Comments:
Well, the picture says it all, the FA said my plate was abnormally soupy, the sauce was average probably the best part of the beef. Overall the plate tasted like a fast casual restaurant equivalent, except the beef seemed like the cheap beef cubes you get in the store for goulash, albeit I don't eat beef very often, it was tender. Salad was usual salad with creamy Italian dressing, had a good amount of tomatoes in the salad, which was a plus. Don't know how this is served as a first class meal, or at least I wouldn't describe it as a burrito. Either way I wish Alaska would punt on this as its overly messy and seems they had some of this left over from Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
