    disappointing Mexican food in Paris near Eiffel tower…read more Thought that given Paris is a big city, we can find reasonable cosmopolitan food. The veggie burrito was ok, overall small and greasy without much veggies or beans The nachos were outright disappointing Will not recommend this place

    Let me start by saying that this place has potential. And also, the prices pretty much can't be…read morebeat in this neighborhood or anywhere else in Paris, for that matter. Now for the nitty gritty. I came to meet a friend for lunch at noon. The place was crowded and it was hard to squeeze in between the two tables to get to my seat (mostly because they weighed two tons and I couldn't slide mir over one inch). The restaurant has terrible accoustics, it was so loud for lunch I had to practically read lips when having a conversation. Ambiance is a bit cold but hopefully they'll work on that.. As for food, I ordered a burrito. And it was only 6€!! I added a supplement of guacamole for 1€ and a supplement of spicy salsa for 1€ as well. The guac was freshly made, and a solid serving. The salsa, however was not spicy by any TexMex standard. I would not have paid extra for that, especially since there was a bottle of free Tabasco sitting on my table. My second biggest gripe was that the burrito was not folded so that it could be picked up and eaten by hand. I was obligated to cut it with my fork and knife and I found that somewhat burrito blasphemy. Taste-wise it was OK. I got the veggie option and it was a bit lacking in flavor. The tortilla hadn't been warmed and was a bit tough as well. My friend got the tortilla soup which came with chips, cheese and sour cream for 6€. It looked tasty and was a hearty portion. All in all, I'd be willing to retry this place in a few months but I'm not dying to get back right away.

    The guys behind the counter are friendly, but that's no reason to head back to Chido. In fact, I…read morecan't think of a reason to go back. I was craving a burrito the other day, and my colleague mentioned a place--she'd forgotten the name--just down the street. It was Chido. I tried Chido on Mouffetard years ago, and was disappointed with the selection, the cleanliness, the end result. Would this branch be any different? No, it wasn't. Cleaner, perhaps, but that's it. It's a small joint with stools as chairs and wooden paneling throughout. You stand in line to order, and then stand in line while they prepare your food. It seems as though they wanted to be different from Chipotle, and said "Hey, let's have customers place orders first and THEN prep the burritos!" While this may work for some fast food places, it doesn't work in this tiny place: there's a backlog of people at the cash register and out the door, and not enough counter space or manpower for the guys to fill the orders. Then, there is inevitably the customer who reaches the second line and says "oh, but I'd rather substitute the coleslaw for..." Nope. Too late, you already paid. Speaking of coleslaw, that is the ingredient that made my burrito the most unburrito-like burrito possible (yet it's a staple on the menu). I felt like I was biting into a mediocre wrap (who puts cabbage and mayonnaise in a burrito?) with no hint of Mexican flavor. No Tex, no Mex. Please don't call yourself a Mexican restaurant if you can't get the basics right. I'm not sure if it was the strange flavor mix or the excess cabbage, but that wrap (and its corn chips and subpar guacamole) didn't sit right the rest of the day.

    Order anything with the shredded beef! It tastes slow roasted, with hearty spices; very savory!read more
