Chinito's Burritos is a small quick-stop Mexican food that is right across the street from Gallaudet University. Their greeting sign is hand-drawn in ASL finger spellings, and most of their walls are plastered with Bison memorabilias and photos. When I noticed the welcome sign, I thought the cashier would know some signs. Apparently, the cashier does not know any signs, and talked to us in a flat tone with no hand gestures. I can lipread pretty well, but this time I could not read the cashier's lips. The communication was broken when either of us were distracted or lost. Food and toppings/fillings checklists was provided with pencils to make ordering easier, but the checklist was limited with few toppings/fillings so we had to write down exactly how we want to fill our burritos. I would give this place 4 or 5 stars if they improve their communication or signing skills because I am afraid that Chinito's does not get it and yet, they represent Gallaudet in the shop. I say there's something wrong with the picture. I wish my experience was good as what I would get at Chiptole's.
