Burritos In China
Burritos in China. Good burritos in China. BIG, good burritos in China. Yep, once again, my buddy Jason has come through (see Hot Dog post). Located in Sanlitun, in an inconspicuous location, sits a lonely restaurant that has salsa playing through its stereos. Once inside, the smell of the place instantly reminded me of exactly what I came for…burritos. David, our burrito chef, started right away. I got adobado, carne asada and shredded chicken with pico de gallo, salsa verde, cilantro, lettuce, grilled onions & bell peppers, cheese and guac. After I watched him struggle rolling it up, he handed it to me. I cradled it like a child. I couldn’t believe how heavy it was. I ate it with delight.
The adobado tasted like some chinese BBQ pork dish, and the carne asada was not even close BUT for China, it’s more than “close enough”. I’m even going to say that it’s better than Chipotle. Yea I said it. Better because, you can ask for more of anything and they’ll pile it on gladly. I could’ve even skimped out on the rice and had them just fill it with more meat. It still doesn’t beat a carne asada burrito from Molca Salsa, but I still have to give credit where it’s due. Burritos in China, what’s that about.
