Boojum

JupiterKid

So I'm sure all the Galway boardsies have heard the good news that burrito bar Boojum is coming to the City of the Tribes.:D:) I'm sure that in a city with a very youthful population such as Galway and a huge student base Boojum will do really well.

But when exactly is it opening? I know that it is supposed to be opening "soon" but does anyone know just how soon exactly?

That does sound pretty efficient, I'll grant you, and will admit my assessment was wrong then.
My order went one person taking out the tortilla, the next putting all the food on it, and then two people at the till. It's entirely possible that my order was just at a changeover time or something though. I'll have to go in a few more times to double-check :P

Twud be worth it, in fairness mine was at 630 yesterday evening and they were very busy so i guess they may have had more on, i must go back later and see :cool:.

How could it be any more efficient? It passes from the tortilla/rice/beans one to the meat/veg one to the salsas/cheeses one to the till, pretty damn impressive.

How in the name of Jaysus/Allah/Whoever did you manage to get 19quids worth of Burritos into ye?? Nobody I know has left there without being full after a regular 6euro feed.
Met a mate of mine yesterday evening who never stops eating and he had quarter of his meal in a doggie bag 'cos he couldn't finish it.

Did I say it was 19 quid of burritos? Nope. We had nachos to share and I took some of my burrito home, hope that tallies for you Officer.

I could have eaten a second burrito, they were very delicious and not quite as big as La Salsa's. Lovely staff too, though I don't know if their "production chain" at the counter is the most efficient. Will definitely eat there again.

Ate there yesterday, no onions in mine anyway, if they were in the salsa I certainly didn't notice. Burrito was SO good, we ordered a decent amount of food and two beers and it came to €25, not bad at all. The burrito was so heavy!!

Along the same lines as Mrs OBumbles garlic question, is it possible to 'make your own'? I'm a total non-believer in the humble onion and therefore don't want it within a mile of my food. Possible?

I got brought home some unexpectedly

Deffo some onions in mine. I had the veggie 3 soft flour tacos. Probably in the guacamole, but I'd imagine there's some minced in onion in some of the salsa, could be wrong though.

Yeah you can put whatever you want in it, not sure if there's onion in any of the salsa's but just ask the staff and they'll help you out

I could see grabbing a negro modelo and some chips and guac more often than grabbing a burrito.

Do they have the Negra? I haven't had it in bloody years!

And yeah, I can see myself and a few friends sitting in there with a big bowl chips with queso, guac and salsa and a few bottles of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale of a friday evening

beardybrewer

Going tomorrow for father's day

.

I think the guacamole and fresh salsa are big factors. I could eat warm tortilla chips and fresh salsa for days.

Actually, anyone try one of their margaritas yet?

biko

Was there today and had a Fajita with shredded beef. About 8 euro with a drink.
Not the best I ever had but definitely very nice and I'll go again.

I really cant wait to try Boojum... so tired of La Salsa at this point and through the feedback provided on this thread I'm sure that it will be fantastic!

pleasant Co.

Anyone wanna pick one up for me? I'll take a chicken burrito, savory Mexican rice, black beans, mild salsa and a drizzling of the roja. I'm in the harbour hotel but I'm sure they wont mind :P

Mrs o B, i really feel for your mr, garlic is such an integral ingredient in life it must be incredibly difficult to avoid.

Is there garlic in the food? Crazy though it sounds, Mr O'Bumble is intolerant of garlic ... tis amazing how much it gets in to.

From what the manager was saying to me on the opening day, they prepare everything fresh each morning. So they'd know exactly what goes into each!

Don't forget the guacamole and sometimes refried beans have garlic salt or flavouring. The black beans would be a better bet, but I'd ask first.

Yeah, that's the challenge. Garlic salt seems to get into all sorts of places.

Even things like he's playing in a pub, and the man puts out a tray of chips and cocktail sausages ... often flavoured with you-know-what.

Probably depends on the sauce. I guess it's in the Roja anyway.

Popped in after work yesterday evening to try it out and was well impressed. Went for the shredded beef burrito and it was damn tasty! Really good quality "clean" food.
The staff are dead sound, go through the different options with you and let you taste the sauces and that first to see if you'll like it.

Casual set up, in and out within 15-20mins, great service and lovely upbeat staff. Will def be back to try out the rest of the menu.

We got 2 burritos and 2 drinks for €15 and were stuffed after it! Great value.

What did you have?

They have lettuce for their salads, but if you wanted it in a burrito you'd have to ask for it.

Stupid question time! Is that everything that's in a burrito but just without the bread bit? Bread and me don't get on too well...

Exactly.

I've a few central and south american friends who get cravings for rice and beans and sometimes go to places like Pablo Picante and Boojum to get their fix. massive portions for the money and a good meal when you think of it. Rice, beans, meat, veggies and sauce. nomnomnomnom.
