Ever since returning from living in New York City, we've been on the search for Mexican restaurants that are as good as the amazing ones we went to in the Big Apple. The Burrito Bar at Caboolture ticks several boxes in these departments:
- Atmosphere.
- Friendly, Attentive Service.
- Delicious Food.
- Actual Mexican music playing in the background instead of Top 40 pop hits.
Great place! The only thing lacking is the size of the guacamole. You get this tiny little cup. Hardly enough to dip all your corn chips into. In NYC they give you these massive bowls of guacamole! And it's amazing!
But the great thing is The Burrito Bar at least have guacamole at all, which is a start. It's more than I can say for Beach Burrito in West End. Beach Burrito didn't have guacamole on the menu at all! In fact, when we asked the girl at the counter, we had to actually explain what it is! She told us they could probably try and make some and bring it out especially. But no. If it's not something you make/serve, or if indeed you don't even know what it is - forget about it.
The other great thing about The Barrito Bar in Caboolture is they have these Mexican soft drinks available. We ordered the Mexican Cola and a Mexican Lime drink. A bit of gender stereotyping, though. My wife was given a straw in her drink because she's a girl, and I didn't get a straw because I'm a guy. I didn't want a straw, but neither did my wife. How about we keep straws optional so anyone can choose whether to take a straw or not? Haha! Not really a big deal, but it's interesting that our society says that all girls like pink and get a straw, and all boys like blue and don't get a straw.
Anyway - Hooray for guacamole, delicious meals, friendly service and great atmosphere! read more
