Where to get a good Burrito?

blah · 21-03-2011 10:57PM #1

I've just moved over from London, where some good burrito places are popping up around the place. They're generally £5-£7, made with a large tortilla, choice of chicken/beef/pork/veg, pint/refried/black beans, sour cream, lettuce, cheese, guacamole and salsa.

On Patrick Street on Sunday from one of the stalls there I got a "burrito" made with a small tortilla, a couple of dollops of "sauce", chilli beef, lettuce and grated cheddar. I couldn't eat it, I shouldn't have even paid the €5 for it.

Is there place that does a good burrito, preferably a take away kind of place?

Yet to find a good one in Cork myself so I'm very interested in how you get on.

You could try Speedy Gonzales on the corner of North Main and Castle Street - it's part of Fast Als I think. Any House Burrito and a coke for a fiver. I've not been but a friend swears by it.

Hope Cork gets a dedicated Burrito place soon!
about 4 or 5 have sprung up in Dublin within the last year and all doing quite well from what I can see.
Gap in the market there fellas....

I went looking here tonight. I couldn't find Speedy Gonzales but Fast Al's is just a small place on the corner. They do pizza slices and nothing else.

The hunt continues.

It's two doors up.

There's a place called Café Mexicana on Careys lane too.

No experience with either place.

Speedy Gonzales was changed to Fast Al's Mexican Cantina.

I tried a burrito there a few months ago - it was pretty bad.

Burrito seems to be flavour of the month in Dublin I've noticed, surprised there's been nobody opening a Mexican take away down here!

Check out Brendans Burritos down by the piers head in Blackrock every sunday!
