Hungry after work and planning an evening run I wanted something quick, satisfying and full of fuel. I headed for soho as I remembered there being two Mexican places near by and some combination of rice and beans seemed to fit my requirements perfectly.
The menu here is a step-by-step build your own:
1. Choose either burrito, salad, tacos or rice bowl.
2. Choose your filling, pork, beef, chicken or black bean and guacamole
3. Select your beans, beans with bacon or black beans and select your rice, lime rice or brown rice
4. Finally select a sauce, mild, medium or spicy
4b. You have the option of getting some additional toppings/fillings
The prep time was super short as I was the only customer ordering at that point and the service was ok but a little over familiar (a gaggle of barely-older-than-teenage boys being a little flirty), but at least they seemed happy and attentive which was nice.
I walked down to the harbour to enjoy my meal (super easy what with the raised walkway taking me all the way from Little Burro through the IFC mall and right down to the water.
The density and weight of the rice bowl was really promising, I couldn't wait to start eating. The bowl was loaded with rice, beans, veggies, (lettuce, sweetcorn, peppers), guacamole and a little cheese. It was a little difficult to get down to the rice layer at first but once penetrated, the rice went wonderfully with all the ingredients, a real, wholesome, belly-filling kind of taste.
If I had any criticisms it would be that the sour cream and cheese were kind of flavourless and for that quality $75 is a little steep, (I would say $50 is a very reasonable price and I'd be happy to pay $60.). However, it did the trick and filled me up for my run.
