    Getting back to the one in Phibsboro its the Indian place they have a load of food businesses from that place Aladdin and the 40 Kebabs to name but one

    That's a pity :(
    Although the reviews for their kebabs are pretty poor anyway.

    Dawson Street. I think the premises used to be a Costa.

    Edit: It was an Insomnia! ;)

    You should post on their FB page if it was that bad.

    It's a bit silly to judge ALL "Irish burritos" on just one that you've tried. There are dozens of burrito places in town.

    I'm so surprised at how well Tolteca is doing in this poll. I'd love it to be the best because it is my local but it just isn't. It's not not-tasty but it is too small and very overpriced.

    Mama's Revenge gets it for me just ahead of Boojums. Boojums is the model for all to follow but Mama's Revenge pips it for now due to the size of their jumbo burrito and the mix of ingredients (I had a giant pork & chorizo burrito in there last time and it was to die for).

    I've been to Mama's Revenge four times and it's been a wildly different experience each time.

    If it's a tin of refried beans then it's essentially a bean paste. Delicious (actually the Old el Paso stuff, of all things, is great for home-made burritos)

    Tolteca still have the 2-for 1 deal which includes beer, they might not be the best but they are still somewhat good, plus 2 burritos and 2 beers for a 10er is very decent!

    I've never noticed beer in Tolteca. On Baggot Street?

    anyway my point is OT, gourmet burgers are much cheaper and easy to make at home than a fast food gourmet burger place. just sayin its a great meal to make at home because its easy and quick

    Yeah but you seem to be judging all "Irish burritos" on the one burrito in Ireland that you did try, that's what I found strange.

    Boojum seem to have added some more options to their menu. I got a burrito with chorizo today and it was gorgeous. I've still only tried there and Tolteca on Suffolk St which I find to be very stingy.

    I had the chorizo when it was first added and found it so salty! I think I'd try it again though mixed with chicken. Only 6 to go until my free t-shirt :p

    Ate in Burritos and Blues last Thursday. Felt sick for the rest of the evening, lay in bed with the food repeating on me until 2am and was on the bog twice.

    Never again!

    Wexford Street. It was your average chicken burrito and I didn't even have the beans. It was just tasteless slop, the chicken was horrible, the rice overpowered everything, the salsa may as well have not been there. I hate to slate a place but considering it was the best part of €7, I expect better.

    Yes i think they are very expensive for what is in them about €3 would be their true value.

    I don't mind paying 7 or whatever it was. Restaurants have overheads. But for that I expect something that's better than Mexican food I make at home.
