-The Feed Punchers visited Beach Burrito in Coogee, which is a Mexican dining and bar, hidden through a courtyard on Coogee bay road. -The grilled fish taco, featured a barramundi tasting fish which was delicate and moist, served with cabbage and salsa macha. We felt like the taco was missing notes of citrus and a kick of spice. -The prawn taco was disappointing, it was overloaded with sweet corn and tasteless lettuce, the prawns couldn’t be tasted. -The karate chicken was a fried chicken dish, served with a jalapeño aioli and slaw. It boasted a crispy exterior which had a satisfying crunch. Unfortunately, the slaw tasted stale, there was a lack of spice and the aioli was very scarce. -The pork quesadillas featured; pulled pork, salsa Rona, pickled red onion, mixed cheese and coriander. The pork was succulent and juicy and the salsa was bursting with a tomatoey spice. -The Birria burrito was loaded with rice and beans, the meat was soft, tender but scarce. The Birria sauce tasted quite watered down and lacked in spice, but it had a nice savoury taste.

• The jackfruit burrito had promising flavours yet lacked in its execution and balance. The pulled jackfruit had a smokey-sweet flavour with undertones of citrus. Unfortunately, an excessive amount of rice smothered these flavours leaving the palate underwhelmed. -The beef taquitos were a highlight dish, with a crisp exterior shell which housed a juicy, slow cooked beef. The taquitos sat on a bed of lettuce and were topped with a mild salsa, sour cream and pickled onions, which perfectly balanced the dish. -Overall, a very average feed, there were some nice flavours, just some lazy mistakes, a lot of potential. Thank-you, Beach Burrito, Coogee!
