lol you can't taste the red?

hug?


I'm still saying that you shouldn't bring the condiments into play as a major factor!

And I'm still saying the quality of sauce does matter for Burritos. Just like it matters for burgers, hot dogs, etc.

Hot sauce on burgers? Now you're just being silly!

I have done it, as I like my hot food. And you know what I meant.

I kept hearing great stuff about it but I was underwhelmed. It wasn't bad, just nothing to write home about

Not being silly but what is a burrito is it just minced meat and a wrap

At Boojum I'm all about the Chicken Fajita Burrito (cilantro-lime rice, sautéed peppers, onions, cheese, salsa, sour cream and chicken) or Carnitas Burrito (shredded pork, cilantro-lime rice, black beans, cheese, salsa, sour cream).

Sound nice is the on abbey st any good

for me its pablos all day long, dont really mind BandB but you can tell lots of it comes out of containers rather than being home made, and also, one of my mates are mexican, and loves pablos but hates the rest.

only been to boojum once, but was thoroughly underwhelmed!!

panch

At least you can see cooking going on in Boojum and B&B! Never seen anything being cooked in Pablos!

Pablo Picante definetly for me. I haven't had a burrito from Cafe Azteca although their mexican food is delicious.

I do like Boojum tho I find their Burritos to be more of a healthy california style burrito rather than something a little more indulgent. Have been disappointed with their carnitas - it is less well seasoned and complex than the Picante version.

I have to strongly disagree with FreudianSlippers and say that the salsa on a burrito is an integral feature and if the flavour of it doesn't live up to your expectations it can be very disappointing and ruin the whole meal.

The less said about Burrito and Blues the better in my opinion. I was very excited about it opening up but the Burritos really are substandard and fairly bland and uncomplex. Will not go back even though its the closest to where I live.

The burritos in Boojum are pretty decent and the salsa verde is very good but Pablo Picantes is just superb, the flavours are far more authentic. They're cleaner, fresher and tastier. Also to try and deny the importance of the sauce in a burrito is just plain wrong, it's vital to the taste of the burrito.

I really can't understand the amount of people going for pablo's. The girlfriend and I brought two of our married friends (she is Mexican, he is Canadian, they live in monterey, mexico) to pablo's as they had just won a competition for the best burritos in dublin. It turned out it was a facebook event they started. We were very dissapointed. The meat was tasteless (I had the pork) and the beer (something with a blue label from New England I think) was past its best before date (they went to replace it but the replacements were also out of date) so they gave us a refund and some water instead.

Maybe we were unlucky and caught them on a bad day, but we haven't gone back.

Although from this thread I think I will have to give them a second chance and report back.

Has anywhere been mentioned yet that hasn't received ANY criticism???

Went to Pablo Picante (Baggot St) for the 2nd time on Saturday and it was tasty enough. The tinfoil wrap is a bit redundant considering the burrito isn't particularly big or heavily stuffed, though I suppose it was a bit drippy towards the end (which it shouldn't be).

Must check out B&B next time I'm in the IFSC.

Oh, no no! I'm not saying anything about salsa. I was talking about the hot sauces.

I wish they would allow you to get peppers instead of black beans

Paparazzo

Definitely worth visiting Azteca if you like Mexican food. Never had a burrito there, but their other stuff is quality. Owner is bang on too.

Never went to Boojum, will definitely make a trip there. I always get the pork in Pablo Picante, always fantastic. As mentioned before, sometimes it's a bit wet at the bottom which is annoying, especially the way you eat a burrito.

You were all aware that you weren't in Mexico though, right? Even if it is in fact the best in Dublin, it's never going to be quite the same. It would be like me complaining about the 'best' Dublin sushi after living in Japan for x number of years.

Actually we were, (the weather gave it away). As for the best in Dublin, that remains to be seen, although they did like Acapulco.

Boojum is my favourite.
Nothing beats a big sloppy burrito and a nice beer or two to break up the shopping.

You do know that Burritos are a Californian invention right? The style that we see popping up all over Dublin originated in the Mission district in San Francisco- also Canadians are idiots, I wouldn't trust them

Boojum is nice, their salsa verde is the business. Also like lil ass burrito bar in rathmines. Burritos & blues do amazing nachos.

Ha ha ha nachos!!
