(Mexigo, IIRC) I think it's partly owned by the people who run Savina, which is also brilliant. It's like a fast food Savina.
I went to a restaurant called Las Iguanas in Liverpool had had a delicious burrito. Plenty of meat, just the right amount of sour cream and guacamole. It was nice and large too. There's also an outlet of Barburrito near there and they do a pretty decent burrito that you can customise to your liking.
Haven't tried it yet though.

I was going to mention them, nice people. Opened up half an hour early for us prior to a lunchtime train.
There is a place in Edinburgh called Illegal Jacks which is tasty enough
Tacos too!
I do prefer this stuff fried though....don't like it soft and floppy. -

It kinda falls into that awful "Tex-mex" description where the food is basically a UK interpretation of mexican and american food. Fair play if you enjoy it, but if you get the chance I world search out a mexican-owned kitchen where you'll see a world of difference.When you can't see the angles on the wall you're in trouble.

Registered 2 years agowell, the authentic burrito i.e. mexican, is only supposed to contain a simple filling.
the bastard burrito, with everything flung on it and pimped out, is typically american.
i'm thinking the whole idea behind the burrito is simple and honest... since it came from a poor country. -

Registered 5 years agoThere's no such thing as an "authentic burrito" unless you're just choosing to skimread Wikipedia. You might as well say there's such a thing as an "authentic sandwich". A burrito is a flour tortilla with stuff in it. That's about it. Even the big ones that weigh two pounds were still invented by Mexicans.GHOSTBUSTERS

Registered 5 years agoA classic burrito is a tortilla with whatever you like in it. You can put in some pork verde, or beef mince, or chicken, with refried beans and rice and sour cream, some guacamole if that's your thing, pico de gallo, black beans. Any combination of that, pretty much.GHOSTBUSTERS

Registered 4 years agoTo make a delicious burrito you really need to let them rest in front of a couple of fans you use for sleeping. While you are sleeping.
Your ingredients should be as low-rent as possible.
You then have a tasty breakfast burrito.

Registered 8 years agoIf you store the tortilla between the wooden board and the foam mattress you sleep on, they keep warm up to twice as long as they would in a typical sandwich thermos - or even sausage foil. -
