Maybe you're looking for something a little different. Maybe you can't choose between Mexican and a good ol' American hamburger. Well now you don't have to.
Get off I-84 at exit 10 in Newtown. Head down to the old railroad depot and go inside for a differnt kind of "road food." Ask for the Burgeritto. It's a hamburger with cheese, crumbled bacon, lettuce, diced tomato, and mayo wrapped in a flour tortilla. Absolutely delicious. Or try the Chickencheesesteakarito, or the wings. Everything on the menu is good. The wings are cooked perfectly, spicy without burning your mouth, although they are a little hot for the kids. The onion rings were fried to a golden crispy brown without being overly greasy.
The "ritto" sandwiches we sampled were cooked to order and tasted of fresh ingredients. Did I mention the homemade shakes? Thick enough to taste good, but not so much that you need the lungs of a tri-athelete to get it through the straw. If you don't have the appetite to try everything on the menu then skip the fries; they were only average, salty and a little greasy.
Despite first impressions this is not "fast food." Everything is cooked to order, so be prepared to wait a few minutes. Seating is limited, although there is an outside picnic table. If you are there during prime time you may end up enjoying your Burgeritto in the car.
"In a world of wraps-gone-wild, the Burgeritto no longer has novelty appeal. But it remains what it was when Joseph A. Rebecco, the restaurant's founder, created it several years ago: an inspired combination of ingredients that probably would fall out of any normal hambuger bun, but are held close and mess-free inside a tortilla. This is an excellent eat-while-you-drive sandwich. (Not that I'm suggesting anyone should have their hands anywhere other than at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel.)"
