Burrito Shack - Fortitude Valley

I have never been much of a burrito gal but for some reason I felt like a burrito??!! I was just a short walk away from Burrito Shack and I'd heard from a few friends that it's pretty good so I gave it a go!! I got a vegan burrito which was just made up of guacamole, rice, a salsa of some sort and some black beans!! It was pretty good and super filling. They have some other items on the menu - nachos, tacos and stuff like that which might also be worth a try as well.

Come here every Saturday on my break and have only had one issue when the pico de gallo wasn't taken off as asked. But other then that the staff are very friendly, burritos and nachos are soooo good! Generous serves of sour cream and guac on the nachos too, most places are stingy with their toppings. Better then burrito bar, on par with Guzman's but better value! Highly recommend!

Friendly service and quick food preparation, but my Beef Street Burrito ($10) from the Burrito Shack wasn't very pleasant. The Burrito consisted of Beef, Black Beans, Cheese, Rice and Salsa wrapped in a Flour Tortilla. The Beef was nice and tender, but lacked flavor. The black beans were wet and the cheese didn't melt, so every bite was cold in the middle. Similarly, the cold Salsa was applied directly to the rice making it cool and wet. 30-60 seconds in a sandwich press would have improved this burrito immeasurably, but wouldn't have addressed the flavor issue. As it was, this rated a 2.

I've been very apprehensive about trying Mexican food here in Australia, with everything that I've heard (and tried so far).

TL;DR: it can be easy. it can deliver to what it says, and just leave it. it can't stand out, despite nothing wrong with him. none of them should benefit from the burrito shack, as it offers an exceptional and good option in this part of the city. it is just another good choice where the filling of mortals are all in a stone throw of each other. of the brain child behind tuckeria was a passing place to get her Mexican fix when there was the corpse not falling too far from the tree. this time, instead of being hidden away, the location stands directly in the middle of the brunswick street mall. also with the ironic trend to be unique...read more
