Burritos have been getting a bit predictable lately and hopes were not high for the new Burro Burrito which has opened without any publicity in a side street between Ludgate Hill and Blackfriars but it turns out to be quite good.

Until recently the site was a Japanese Canteen restaurant and only the menu and wall colour has changed so it's possible this is Japanese Canteen's first quiet and cheap dip into the Mexican waters.

While the menu of burritos, tacos and salads looks familiar, the chicken is martinated with smoked jalapenos, which makes a nice change from the more usual grilled chicken. The sour cream and cheese combined with a cream cheesey kind of taste and the lime and corriandor rice was finer than normal. Some thought has gone into these little differences and so they are welcome to jump on the bandwagon.
