Massive Burrito at Pablo Picante

I was scouring the restaurants in the Temple Bar area for some affordable eats and it was not easy. I remember I passed by a pizza place which sold pizza by the slice. It seemed to be reasonable but I don’t think I would be able to find it again. I remember kebabs seem to be common here as well. There seems to be a significant Middle Eastern community in Dublin that kebabs are readily available. The last one which I thought was quite common in Ireland is the Mexican burrito. I remember my town also has a burrito stand though I have never patronized it. Fortunately, I ran into this place which seemed to be quite well known – Pablo Picante.

If you have your name as the name of your shop, your stuff better be really good. I would have to be the first to admit that I was never a fan of Mexican food. I love spicy food, but somehow Mexican food never appealed to me. I guess I was never fond of the beany taste which Mexican food tends to have. Pablo Picante burrito bar specializes in this and they seemed to have perfected the art of the burrito at the same time keeping their prices affordable. The burrito comes wrapped in aluminum foil and it was larger than I thought it would be. I actually had some difficulty to finish the burrito. It was true to the taste of the Mexican burrito, best of all it was prepared right in front of you. I am not surprised that Pablo Picante is one of the most well known of the restaurants here in Temple Bar.
