Authentic Juarez-style burritos w/ handmade, lard-infused tortillas. No rice, just pure flavor from stewed meats.
This spot elevates the humble burrito with a focus on authentic Juarez-style preparation, eschewing rice for rich, stewed meats and perfectly crafted, lard-infused tortillas. Hailing from a chef trained at a Michelin-starred establishment, this eatery began as a passion project, selling out of an apartment and at pop-ups before establishing its current location. Expect a simple yet intensely flavorful experience that highlights the quality of its ingredients and signature hand-rolled tortillas.
The food focuses on authentic Juarez-style burritos, notably omitting rice and instead featuring slow-stewed meats and beans. The handmade tortillas, thick, soft, and cooked with lard, are a standout element. While dishes like the Colorado and Verde burritos, and a braised pork option are highly recommended, some feedback indicates that fillings can sometimes lack seasoning, and the overall experience can be impacted by wait times during peak hours. The chipotle sauce and aguas frescas are also noted positively.
"The Colorado and Verde burritos are frequently mentioned as must-tries, as is the braised pork option. The handmade tortillas themselves are consistently praised as a highlight, and the quesadilla especiala with chipotle sauce is also recommended."
Customers generally praise the authentic, flavorful burritos, especially the handmade tortillas. However, some reviews note long wait times and occasional under-seasoned fillings, suggesting potential growing pains for the popular spot.
