The Carne Assada Platter at Mr. Giant in Whittier California was about what one would expect. The rice and beans were way too bland but the meat was so good I wanted more. In other words there wasn't enough of this to fill me up.
Is it that I'm just that fat or that there isn't enough meat? You tell me.
If you happen to be in uptown Whittier you may decide to stop in at Mr. Giant and get the chicken platter. That is honestly some good chicken but the beans and rice could use some seasoning. This comes with flour or corn tortillas and you don't get enough to wrap it all up.
Still, I think this is one of the better things on the menu. I'll likely get this again.
I've lived around Mr. Giant my whole life and only recently went in and tried the place. I guess I know why. The food is good but not really something to remember.
Take the 'Taquitos Platter' here and know that the taquitos are everything I want in a taquito being crunchy and all. The guacamole is just how I like it being mild and unoffensive, so if you want this spicy you need to make it that way.
Now remember that 'Platter' is in the name so those rice and beans need to be taken into account, and they are about as boring as rice and beans can be and still be Mexican.
Look, not only am I white, but I'm American, and I make rice and beans with more flavor than these have. Add some pepper or something if you get these. Now if I were British the cook would have just felt that in the balls.
Even with all their faults, I'm still so ordering this again.
Mr. Giant Super Nachos with Beef aren't so super. These things were soggy and not that great, but they were filling and they tasted okay. I wouldn't get these again because of those soggy chips.
On historic Whittier Boulevard in Whittier's historic uptown you can find 'Mr. Giant' a small Mexican diner that serves this burrito. This is their California Burrito with Beef and Red Sauce to be clear and its stuffed with Beef, rice, beans, french fries, and the like. This has onion in it and where as normally onions make me sick these onions were sweet and mild.
I have to say I will be trying other things at Mr. Giant but I recommended this to people because it's a good deal and good food.
