Taqado are indeed thieves. Food is nice though.

Now at Dubai airport - C gates as well.

Their large burritos are exceedingly tasty.

I begrudge places like that though because of silly things like you can't have guac AND cheese (or something). End up paying a bit more for this, bit more for that.

Before you know it, you've got three burritos and a choccy churros.

Or is that just me?

I shouldn't laugh but, sorry, that's a classic panic order.

Burrito is well worth sticking to.

It's ok. Nothing like the one I make though, which is:

'cardo, onions, tomatoes, cucumber, mayo and chillies. It's the best.

Austin, Texas. Steak restaurant. Biggest ****-off Margaritas I've ever seen. Alligator (or crocodile, is there a difference?) tails on the menu (tasted like chicken). Ginormous steaks. Reasonable prices. Appetizers (not even starters, they were free): nachos (from a half-oil-barrel-size warmer) and guacomole, replenished endlessly. The land of plenty...

Mayo? Interesting.

Tomatoes are banned from our guac. I hate them.

I'm making chicken bombs tonight. Breasts stuffed with homemade pesto guac, wrapped in bacon. Literally; boom.

I think I'm going to have to kick Taqado now. 32 for a Medium Burrito (35 for large), but now 5dh extra if you want a few shreds of lettuce in a medium. WTF. Insanely expensive.
