Good/bad value?

I think there was something similar in that area before.

sioda · 30-06-2013 2:24am

I am looking forward to trying this. Love Mexican food.

I think it opened in Galway too and was awful. Check the Galway board. They now have a Boojum in Galway...

My life is complete. A highlight of trips to dublin or cork is Mexican food! Brilliant!

panda100 · 30-06-2013 8:59pm

excellent.I'll definitely be checking out later in the week.

Taco Chips · 30-06-2013 10:53pm

Long overdue. Burritos have been a huge hit in Dublin for students and people at work looking for a good lunch. Can't wait to try this place

Hande hoche! · 01-07-2013 10:18am

That's great. Looking forward to trying one.

Insect Overlord · 01-07-2013 4:18pm

Just after finishing a burrito from Badass Burritos. Went for beef as the meat, with black beans, salad, guacamole, hot salsa.

It's no Boojum, but it's pretty damn good. I was hoping for more of a kick from the "hot" salsa. There's hot sauce on the tables for people dining in so I might try adding that next time.

bigpink · 01-07-2013 8:39pm

Good to see something that might last here!
Is it a chain or local owned?

aN.Droid · 02-07-2013 9:31am

Tried steak on opening day and chicken yesterday. Was tasty. Has rice, black beans, cheese and sour cream with the hot salsa.

I agree the hot salsa needs to be hotter, it is more tangy than anything. but other than that it is really tasty and worth the 6.50. Really nice lady behind the tills too!

So went in at lunchtime today to get myself a chicken burrito. The woman behind the counter was absolutely lovely, and is very passionate about her burrito's! They were nice, not as nice as boojum, but still quite tasty. I'd definitely go back there again for the food. Only niggly things, and it's just me being niggly, is that the tortilla's are microwaved, and I don't like microwaves being used on my food. Also spin south west was blaring, and I can't stand realy loud music when I'm trying to eat and trying to read my book.

It's great to see this in Limerick though.

vkid · 03-07-2013 8:38pm

Was in there after work. Had the steak burrito. Thought it was very very tasty. AS mentioned hot sauce isnt really that hot but minor quibble. Excelllent staff, very friendly. Good value too, filling for 6.50. It nice to have tasty fast food, that doesn't drip in grease. Will be back and hope it works for them.

Ps was no real music blaring when i was in there.

That place has been most renamed/owned restaurant location in the city.

The oldest name I can remember is "Yanks" back in 92-93 a kind of Eddie Rocket "esque" diner.

Can anyone remember what it was before that.

letsdothis · 03-07-2013 11:56pm

Delighted to see this place opening and hope it does well. I tried a veggie one. It wasn't bad but there's room for improvement. The black beans were lacking in depth of flavour (the best burrito bars cook the black beans with avocado leaves amongst other things, clearly not here). Also the veg itself was cooked to order and actually really needs to be left to stew down for much longer. Anyway, I hope they improve a bit with time and I'll be going there fairly regularly. Totally needs the cervezas too!

Taco Chips · 04-07-2013 12:25am

For a place open less than a week I was really impressed with the quality of the food. The meats are all very nicely cooked and they have a nice formula so far. Staff are absolutely smashing also, very enthusiastic and friendly. I hope this place goes a long way.

roast · 04-07-2013 10:31am

Sounds good for a place that's only been open for a short time, might check it out this weekend.

FutureGuy · 05-07-2013 9:55am

They'll be bringing in lots of new sauces in the coming days and they will be MUCH hotter too. For those of you that like that sort of thing. Sadists

Fintc · 05-07-2013 10:19am

Went there the other day bit of a weird set up tables and chairs are like something that were pulled out of an old club house! The food was ok, pork was nice , microwaved wraps (right in front of you) , beans were undercooked an hard.

I really wanted this place to be nice , limerick was in need for a burrito place. Hopefully they'll improve , but first impression wasn't great!

Ate here today for the first time and like the comment above, I have to admit my first impressions weren't great.

First of all, it is fantastic to see Limerick having their own Burrito bar but my first impressions of the decor were poor. Very old fashioned and thrown together. No style or substance at all.

I waited over ten minutes to get served. And I wasn't the only one. The guy in front of me was less than impressed with the very slow service. I must say, the women were very polite and helpful, perhaps too much so as it seemed to slow down the overall running of the orders.

I tried to order Pork with Inferno hot sauce and neither were available which was disappointing. I instead opted for the steak with 'hot' sauce which in truth wasn't that hot at all. It was fine, but nothing special. Burrito's are reasonably priced at €6.50 but €1.50 for a can of coke was a bit much. I didn't feel I got my value for €8.

The burrito itself was far too bread-y and contained very little meat. I could almost count the pieces of steak. In truth, it tasted like something you'd throw together in your kitchen at home.

The place is only open a week so I wouldn't discount any future visits but if I was to become a regular, it would have to improve drastically. Best of luck to them, it's about time someone opened one in Limerick.

Quick question for those who have eaten there... are the tortilla's home made, or are they the usual stuff you'd be given if you bought a wrap at a deli? This makes a huge difference!

padma · 05-07-2013 3:01pm

Little bit suspicious two first time posters, posting bad reviews.

I'm no expert but they didn't taste anything different to something you'd order at a deli counter. I could be wrong though.

Burritos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
