I’ve not had the best luck with Mexican food, and more specifically burritos, of late, so I was pleased to get a recommendation for a street food stall called Bonnie Burrito in the hope that it might redeem matters. In between meetings in different parts of the city, I strolled to Lauriston Place to check it out.

The queue extending from their cabin was rather impressive and spoke of an already loyal and devoted audience. The queueing allowed Graham, who’d previously joined at Meat Hook, and I a moment or two to contemplate the selection, which included chicken, haggis, Irn Bru pulled pork and veggie haggis as the centrepiece fillings. We opted to try the latter two, which were £4.50 each.

Keeping things simple by opting for all the fillings, Graham topped his pork burrito with sweet chilli sauce, while I chose a coriander and jalapeno sauce for my haggis. We were soon on our way, munching as we ate.

I’m pleased to report that this was a burrito to rival the best I’ve had in the city, with only the ones from Los Cardos and Taquito matching a similar standard.

Each mouthful packed considerable zing and freshness, with the coriander sauce packing some really good pop and the veggis haggis giving the dish a pleasing backbone. After some structural difficulties with recent burritos, it was good to see this one hold together really well, also.

So overall, I was very impressed with the fare on offer at the Bonnie Burrito. The friendly counter folks are serving up tasty stuff. I’d definitely recommend a visit. I look forward to popping back to give their other fillings a try.
