Friends,
Last night I ventured into the Ukranian Village neighborhood in Chicago and partook in a Ukranian burrito at a place called El Taco Veloz. You might be asking yourself "Why are Ukranians making burritos?" to which I reply "I don't know but I hope they don't stop." This was a very tasty burrito indeed.
My visit began when a lovely Ukranian waitress named Consuela sat me down and took my order. I've never met a Ukranian person before and didn't realize they shared so many characteristics with Mexican people. They even sound the same. Anyway, I ordered a burrito "al pastor" which, as I've mentioned before, is the name of a Chicago alderman from days gone by.
The burrito came out piping hot and filled with pork, cheese, lettuce, tomato, beans, and onions. I wasn't a huge fan of the onions as they were kind of slimy (I'd have preferred fresh) but it didn't detract all that much from the rest of the experience. The meat was perfectly seasoned and came in large chunks as opposed to the stringy shredded type of meat you get at some burrito houses. I devoured my burrito in quick order....even forgetting to put the hot salsa on it that I had used with my chips. Silly me! All in all I give this burrito an 8.5.
Till next time....
