Burrito Mania

A Burrito is the yummiest Mexican food ever. A meal in itself, it comes in a soft flour tortilla and all varieties of fillings but what distinguishes it from a regular wrap is Mexican staples like refried beans, yellow rice and cheese, and maybe topped with salsa, guacamole and sour cream.

The best ones in Ireland that I've come across so far are Acapulco and Taco Taco (Skip Cactus Jacks please). I recently tried one at this newish Mexican 'fast food' or casual dining place called Burritos n'Blues in Ranelagh. It's really hard to say which Vegetarian burrito is better, Taco Taco's or Burritos n Blues'. but the major diff is that BnB's veggie burrito has grilled vegetables in it (Flame grilled courgette, aubergine, sweet red onion, chillis, red and yellow peppers) and they come swathed in a scrumptious dollop of Mahamarlo's secret Garlic sauce. (I want that recipe!) while Taco Taco used pure raw vegetables.

There's plenty of choice in BnB for the non-vegetarians with unique burritos like the Barbeque burrito, Irish pub Burrito and the Silver Bullet. They also do Quesdillas, Flautas, Nachos and Tacos. Originally Mexican (it's run by a Californian woman with Mexican staff), they make their food fresh and ready to order and all for good value. They also do a 16 oz one called Burrito Grande! Try that and let me know. My only quip is that it's all the way out in Ranelagh and there should be a branch in town.

It's California taste at it's best. Now where to find some good Churro huh?
