sayulita burrito report.


ok.
i know a couple people who have been waiting for this so here it is.
there's a place here, in sayulita, called burrito revolution. they loosely use zapata and che as characters on their t-shirts and in the advertising but make no mistake, these guys are all business and less about politics and they're striking images used in a fun way and not politically and they mean it when they make you a burrito. i would call this joint a nuevo burrito place and really it's not more than a burrito stand nestled into a corner of a block and not a restaurant per sa. a few bar seats and a few at a make shift counter on the sidewalk make up all the seating. the revolution may be in the ingredients or in the prep. of the burro but no matter how you slice it, and they do for some reason, it's a good burrito worthy of a solid 8.5. instead of the traditional, if there is such a thing since it's not really a traditional mexican food (but instead think of it as a thing unto itself and the traditional burrito you know and love...make sense....for get the country...) a steamed or slightly fried tortilla then filled with goodness and rolled and given to you in a foil wrap or on a plate...well, they do it slightly differently here. they grill up the meat, in my case i had some chicken, add the other goods - mine was loaded-up - beans, avocado, tomatoes, cheese, etc...and then put on the grill to cook a little more giving the tortilla a slightly brown action. nice.
what results is a very fresh tasting burrito that rivals many i have had elsewhere but since it's not offered in a 'wet' form or smothered or...it doesn't have the same impact as a la bonita chicken/relleno mole burrito or a fully loaded grilled pork burrito in santa cruz...or, heaven forbid, the original el presidente, but it's still a solid, fresh addition to my best of. they do, however, offer up three different home made sauces that you can accent your burro with...all very good and very much different from each other...awesome.
ok.
i think that about does it.

go eat some dinner.

Nice work Garn... you should have a home made Rooster Burrito. Wet.

Good to see Scary Neil rocking the south.
