A Fresh Take on Tex-Mex
Ever thought of putting sweet potatoes into your burrito? How about apples? This inventive take on Tex-Mex is what you can expect at Burritoville. The welcoming vegetarian joint has set the meat and grease aside, proving that wholesome Tex-Mex is both hearty and appetizing.
The brief menu consists of burritos, tacos and enchiladas made healthily with ingredients such as beans, sweet potatoes, cheese, apples and rice. Meals are served with a basket of chips and salsa, which will be refilled until you're all chipped out. One thing that detracts from the flavourful food, however, is the salsa. Made with the distinct taste and texture of canned tomatoes, no amount of cilantro could possibly make it palatable.
The small restaurant is as casual as a university student's apartment. There is a shelf full of books to peruse, a tack board overflowing with community postings, and a few toys to entertain kids (and immature adults, of course). There is even a self-serve water station, adding to that at-home feel.
If you happen to be in the charming NDG area, Burritoville is a great option for a filling lunch. Not worth going out of your way for, but shouldn't be walked past either.
