To note up front: this isn't traditional Mexican like you make expect. Everything is fork and knife, so not the kind of burrito you'll be able to pick up. Also up front, the chicken is great! Definitely load up on the chicken entrees! I wanted to try a variety, so I went with the Plato Texano. I was a bit confused at first by what was on the plate, but I figured it out. The quesadilla consisted of fresh cheese melted all over perfectly seasoned chicken, but heft and consistency-wise, felt more like a taco. I wasn't as impressed by the con carne. It was tender because it came in beef gravy type sauce, but still tasted quite bland. I'm not big on veggie burritos, so this wasn't ever going to be my thing. Imagine like an open faced veggie fajita. If you like that, you may like this. The salad was interesting. There was a honey mustard dressing that didn't really fit the flavor profile that I'd want to pair with Mexican food. Although, I don't think I've ordered a salad with Mexican before so I can't think of a type of dressing I would want to pair it with. Finally, the chicken chimichanga! So good! I wish I just ordered 3 or 4 of these.

Keep in mind that this place is in Germany and it caters to the locals. If you expect California or…read moreArizona Mexican food you will be disappointed. The margaritas were very good.

Located outside of downtown Munich, Guatemuc (Muc? Get it?) drew my friend and I in because we…read morewanted to explore beyond the city center. It's terribly cute inside. Hanging plants, themed drinkware, and counter-height tables that are shaped like barrels. The bartenders on a Saturday night were fully engaged with the patrons and created an appealing vibe. We ordered a Deja Vu spritz (you either love spritzes or you hate them), a pina colada, a Paloma, and a rum punch. The latter three drinks were fantastically yummy cocktails. The food - well, not the strong suit. Our Nachos Überbacken recalled microwave nachos and they were not generous with the salsa, guac, or bean dips. Our tacos were hard shell, which I wasn't expecting; also, since they didn't strain the ground beef, the shells broke while I was eating. The tostadas were also served on a hard shell. I'd send people here to pre-or postgame, but for a memorable meal look somewhere else.

This doesn't come close to Vato's Tacos in Berlin, or any hole in the wall in SoCal, but when in Munich, I'll take it! I recently came back here for a second visit, and I ordered a chicken burrito. Per the guy's recommendation, I got it with jalepenos with a #2 out of 4 spicy. Usually in Europe when they say it's spicy, it's not going to be. But my lips were burning when I was eating this burrito, so be careful going spicier than that! I just wish they wouldn't put so much lettuce on the burrito. I mean, why is there any lettuce at all, let alone a ton of lettuce?

My traveling partner's cod tacos were crunchy and served on a soft tortilla (unlike some Munich restaurants...), but they certainly weren't fresh. My mushroom quesadilla had great flattop texture, but the mushrooms lacked umami. Our cocktails were passable. I'd go with the raspberry mojito again. I tried a mango cocktail, but the puree they used seemed like it had been frozen. It's probably hard to find fresh mangoes in February, but they shouldn't serve it like this. On the plus side, La Burrita was open on a Sunday night, which is so rare for Germany. We left at 10p. Most of the other occupied tables were doing just drinks. Our Slovakian waitress was attentive and talkative, keeping us well plied with food and drink.

I asked if that meant I had to leave and come back at 5, to which the waitress replied that I could sit outside and order a drink, but I could not receive the happy hour price until 5 pm (a whole ten minutes later). When I finally got the happy hour margarita (5.50 Eur), it was tiny and warm (no ice). I can't believe they normally charge 8.50 Eur for that! Later when I wanted to order some food, I asked if I could mix the different enchilada sauces, even if it meant paying a little extra, but the waitress firmly replied no, that is not possible. Their perspective on service is all wrong and they'll likely find that customers won't return somewhere that their business isn't appreciated.

Though I had never been there before, I decided I wanted to try it for my birthday dinner.....a risky move, but I'm glad I took the risk. My friends and I took full advantage of the Happy Hour from 5 to 7pm. Even if the drinks hadn't been at Happy Hour prices, they still would be worth the money. No skimping on alcohol here! Also, upon being told it was my birthday, the owner (pretty sure his name was Jorge) sent out a round of shots and played not one but TWO birthday songs for me. Jorge really is a nice guy and makes you feel like he appreciates your business. Now on to the food. I had the enchiladas de mole and I must say it was really on point! The mole sauce was out of this world. It was the first time since I moved to Munich that I was able to enjoy great, authentic Mexican. From the chocolate, to the chilis, to the spices....it was like you could taste every separate ingredient in the sauce and it all blended together perfectly. I was so pleased with myself for choosing this dish haha There isn't a question of IF I will eat here again, the only question is WHEN. Two big thumbs from me!
