To put it simply Burro is the best restaurant in Burlington for tacos at the time of this review, On my first visit we were seated within minutes, had our drinks in another few minutes and selected a few tacos. This is where Burro impressed me, I've been cooking both as a hobby/profession for nearing a decade and most of the time when I eat food around Burlington (specifical tacos) they lack flavor and taste worse than if I had simply made them myself.
Burro is different, the Tacos that I had (Classic / Achiote Chicken / Charred Broccoli & Summer Corn) all were delicious, my favorite was the Classic due to its cheaper price and overall flavor being above average in comparison to many things I have put in my mouth over the years. The Classic also threw me off because it tasted like there was a hot sauce on it but the hot sauce seemed to lack heat and was more of a sweet variant with a very very mild heat that wasn't present for the whole time I consumed the taco but hit me a few minutes later.
The one thing I wished they had were entrees of ceviche, their ceviche offerings are limited to one dish that also happened to be a 'sampler' (as described by our waitress) which is a bit of a letdown as Burlington doesn't have many ceviche offerings. Their drinks seem pricey but they are also fairly strong if I had to guess I would put them at around 2oz of liquor which is a larger shot than the average for Burlington which I put around 1oz most places.
Burro also has a great patio, tons of shade, a decent amount of space and it's in a cozy little section off to the side of the restaurant. I would highly recommend Burro to any taco lover, now all they need is Taco Tuesday!!
Last night was my first time at Burro. I have been to the Mule, The Other Bird's other taco location, and was not disappointed. While I do still like the Mule, I loved Burro. I really enjoyed the atmosphere at this location. I asked a lot of questions about the tacos and our waitress was more than happy to answer all of them. She was very friendly, helpful and honest, which was great. I ordered the Bourbon Chicken and The Three Little Pigs Tacos and both were delicious. My party also ordered a fish taco, Brussel sprouts taco, Sweet Potato and Curry Cauliflower. I sampled all of these, and there wasn't one that I did not enjoy! My only complaint would be there is no Queso on the menu (one of my favourite menu items at The Mule), but I definitely will be back and will recommend Burro to family and friends! Thank you :D
Great little restaurant, small menu but really tasty Tacos: vegetarian, plus the usual suspects of chicken, beef, pork and fish. Nice patio (small downtown but interesting wall art.
