Bordeaux's answer to the popular American chain, Chipotle. Finally tried this today after passing…read moreby it to and from Saint Catherine. It's really hard to find a Mexican fast food in Bordeaux with the over saturation of kebab and burger places plus fast food Vietnamese and Chinese places. Thus, I was really excited to try Arbol, and it didn't disappoint.
Came 40 minutes before closing on a Thursday afternoon and had the Vacaliente burrito with pica dillo. Didn't know about their in-house drinks, so I only had Orangina with my order. Can't comment on any of the sides either because I'm on a budget after the holidays. LOL
Comparing from the burrito and Mexican fast food places in the U.S., the prices at Arbol are similar, which is great because I find that their ingredients are fresh and also delicious. The size of my burrito was also generous, and even though I didn't get any of the other sides and drinks, I find their prices to also be reasonable.
The person behind the counter was nice, and he spoke to me in English, which was very helpful for me since my French is terrible (I try, but it hurts the ears.).
The place was small but modern, and I like that they had Valentina hot sauce! A+++ on that! Though the American side of me wants to push for some smoked Tabasco sauce. Yumm!
Will be back for more for sure! Hope to try more of the sides and the drinks next time!
