Mexican Food - Burrito Bowl

Its 3 weeks that I am in NY now.. I was getting bored of eating the rice I pack from home. We usually cook some extra rice every night so that we would take the same rice to office next morning with with curds / something thats there.

Too much!! You cant keep eating the same rice! Atleast I got bugged. The other day, we had been to an Indian Restaurant Baluchi's just one block from our office. The food was authentic, and tasty! Indian food around WTC, you could try Baluchi's

Today, my colleague told me he will get me some real fresh and healthy Mexican food. He said, he will get me something of rice with beans and stuff. Ahhh.. beans and peas.. made my mouth water and so, I said "OK".

Out of our office in 2 mins.. we started walking towards WTC and up there.. left and straight down the road, to get to Chipotle. Mexican he had told me. Very apprehensive I must say I was, if or not I would like it. Anyway, if I did not like it, I had the choice of getting back to office and eating the curd rice in my bag.

We stood in the queue. It was jus 12:10 when we got there and there was a long queue. Very busy restaurant with people just starting to get in. Looking at the menu, I was unable to figure out what is Veg in that. Srivatsan quickly suggested me. "I am taking a Burrito Bowl Vegetarian. Try it. You will like it."


Eventually we got to the counter in 10 mins.. ordered a Burrito Bowl Vegetarian. He put some rice, and some peas curry on it.. whoof it goes to the next counter. "What (toppings)would you want sir" the beautiful girl asked. I said, "Everything Vegetarian" (Just what Srivatsan had told). Quickly she put some Onion, Capsicum, some green sauce, some while sauce and cheese. and whoof it goes to the next counter. "$6.43 sir" the cashier said. Paid in cash and took the bowl.

We were just lucky to spot a table free and got to it quickly. Srivatsan went and got fork and a knife. Opened the bowl praying god..

"Delicious.. Amazing.. So fresh.." was my immediate comment and Srivatsan said, "I was sure you would like it." A little heavy, coz its too much(in quantity, less in calories). But yes, it was worth walking all the way from office and also enough the walk to return to office and WORK.


Given a chance, do try Mexican food. And Burrito (Bowl) is what I would recommend(coz as of now, I have not eaten anythin else there). I took a Burrito Bowl, they also wrap it a bread very much like "Frankie".

Lets see, what next food I would like in Chipotle when I get there the next time!

Happy hogging Burrito (Bowl) meanwhile!!
