2010
I don't quite remember who proclaimed that 2010 was going to be the year of the Burrito in the UK, who ever said it, is not far off the mark. Coming from the states where there is a burrito shack on every corner of Main Street USA I went into burrito withdrawal when I moved to the UK eleven years ago. In the last few years London has seen a few burrito outposts popping up, some of them are rolling out great burritos and some of them.... Well not so.
My current favourite burrito joint is Tortilla. They have 4 locations in London serving up burritos that are filling, flavourful and excellent value. I had the most disgusting burrito in my life from the Soho branch MexiCali. The meat was over salted, guacamole was slimy and the beans under cooked. Never again! Over in Clerkenwell, Daddy Donkey has garnered a cult following, but I've yet get my mouth around their burrito.
Burritos are big business in the US. Probably the god of the burrito chains is Chipotle. They started out in my home state of Colorado, then spread like wild fire across the USA with millions of followers that worshiped in their house of burritos.
