Wow, wow, wow and... wow!
We chose La Burrita at the last minute, having found that Sausalitos had closed, and we are so glad we did.
On arrival (on a Monday night) we found the place heaving full - always a reassuring sign. As we hadn't booked, the friendly waitress explained that we'd need to wait at the bar until a table came free, but this happened before we'd even had time to order a drink.
On to our order, all the glowing reviews on here about the lemonade are absolutely true; we had a Limette-Minze and an Erbeere-Pfirsch, which tasted exactly like a mojito and a strawberry dacquiri respectively.
Food-wise, we shared a bowl of the La Burrita nachos as a starter, which went straight in at the business end of our personal best nacho chart. The coriander particularly 'popped', tasting extremely fresh. For mains we had cheese and spring onion quasadilla and a fajita pollo burrito - both excellent in flavour and perfectly judged in portion size. We finished with desserts of salted caramel cheesecake and warm chocolate souffle. The cheesecake was great, but the souffle was divine!
We couldn't leave without having a margarita - it WAS two-for-one 'Margarita Monday' after all - and the classic margarita we each had was excellent.
La Burrita gets 5 stars in all respects, but only because Google won't permit...

We ordered the onion and cheese fajita and the jackfruit burrito (which was advertised as âŹ15,50. When we received our bill they charged us âŹ16,50 and, yes, that was without any add-ons), the chips and two dips (the peanut and mango dip was pretty good, but the guacamole was obviously very processed looking and about two thimbles worth of food), and two cocktails. The quality of the food was not that great. You could see the salad was very wilted, the portions were very small (our side of chips was smattering at best), the cocktails were very overpriced for the little alcohol they infused in them. This meal for two people ran us âŹ60 and we left the place hungry. The wait staff was okay, but it took them quite a while to notice we were ready to place our order. I would not recommend this place. I find it ironic they advertise the place as California Street Food and charge sit down...
