'Coronado Connoisseur' Defeats K39 Mega Blowout Burrito in 20 Minutes!

Read Joshua's full review at Yelp.com

The six pound Mega Blowout Burrito challenge at K39 Taco Shop in Santee has been defeated in an amazingly quick 20 minutes!

The feat was tackled by Joshua Hockett, who goes by the name "Coronado Connoisseur" on his food blog on Yelp.com. He was a spectator at the previous K39 challenge event where four big eaters failed to beat the clock.

His blog features reviews on more than 100 restaurants with more added each week and his specialty is taking on food challenges.

Josh's description of the monster burrito from his review:

"
During the 20 minutes it took me to inhale this beast....yes only 20 minutes I know....must be a tapeworm. I could not help how fresh and robust the flavors were from start to end of this 6 pound monster! The combo of flavors and textures were so good! Even the fries seemed to fit right in despite my first time ever eating a burrito with fries inside. The Verde salsa they have is also the real deal and I was sure to use generous portions with my meal let me say that much."

"You do not finish a 6lb burrito in 20 minutes or at all for that matter unless its got the kind of taste that just won't give your pallet a break from the siesta of stimulation taking place at each bite. This and I assume the whole burrito menu at K39 offers you just that."
