Advantages: Value, freshness, quantity

Disadvantages: Seeing the empty basket afterwards and wanting more

I only discovered Barburrito about 3 months ago, but have been raving about it ever since. There are only 3 of them in the country at the moment, 1 in Manchester, 1 in Liverpool and 1 in the Trafford Centre.
It is the Barburrito in the Trafford Centre which i have visited, and it was so good, we made an excuse to have the hour drive over there again a month or so later.

They have 4 main 'meals' to choose from. A burrito, a burrito bowl, nachos and tacos. Once one of these has been chosen, you walk down what i can only describe as a 'Subway-style food counter' choosing what you want in your meal.
Having only ever ordered the burrito, this is the only thing i know how they make!
First stop... possibly the best stop!... the meat. Choices of Grilled chicken, braised pork, grilled steak, shredded beef, and a vegetarian option. I have only ever gone for the chicken, as it is ridiculously tasty, but next time i'll try something different. Although you can have 2 types of meat for a little extra cost... i think id have to not eat for days before if i had the idea of ordering this!

They then add a generous portion of rice before moving on to the salsa. Mild, medium, hot or extra hot. Each with varying amounts of onion and peppers. The hot is the best of the bunch in my opinion!

Then it gets better. I hope youre still hungry? Good!
Lets add beans, mushrooms, cheese, sour cream, jalapenos. Then they roll it up into a nice handy burrito.

Warning... eat this at a table! However easy it is to carry, by the time you get to the bottom there's salsa everywhere! It'll be all over your shoes and jeans otherwise!

If you visit, please do me a favour and order the side of tortilla chips and cheese sauce. I don't know what it is, but the cheese sauce here is incredible. Getting hungry thinking about it to be honest.

Lots of drinks on offer too. Water, beer, margarita, wine, and the usual fountain soft drinks. These are refillable, so definitely the best choice (and very useful if you overdose on jalapenos!).

At the end of the counter, i show my student discount card and get a nice 10% off my food. Then get my loyalty card stamped.
Get this stamped 8 times and you can get a free meal when you just buy a drink. Cant see it being too long till i fill that one up...!

They cook the food in full view of the restaurant, so you know its fresh. Thinking about it actually has me planning my next visit!
The little menus on the table are good too. Recipes to make your own guacamole and similar.

Definitely good value for money, and definitely my favourite fast food place after only 2 visits.

Summary: Go buy a burrito now and thank me later
