Burrito Craft — Restaurant in South Island

I had the pulled pork burrito with 8/10 spiciness. Let me tell you, it was quite the experience. I took one large bite and was in tears for the next 15 minutes. I had to go to New World to buy a chocolate milk drink and greek yoghurt to pair with this burrito because it was so hot. I spent the next hour eating this burrito cautiously with lashings of yoghurt, whilst watching the interview by The spicy ones and Gordon Ramsay knowing we were experiencing the same amount of pain. I was pacing up and down the room between bites to let the heat subside, with the chocolate milk in hand. It was quite the ordeal and I could only finish 2/3 of the large burrito. 8 out of 10 spiciness (hot AF) is not for the faint hearted.

I would rate this burrito 5/5 and would happily recommend this to a friend...

This is a do not miss stop for when you’re in the wanaka vicinity. After living in LA for 4 years and then spending 3+ years now in Sydney/NZ, I can confidently verify that I have given up on finding Mexican food down under; HOWEVER, with a combination of a craving and reading the reviews of Burrito Craft, I decided to take the risk. OH BOY was it worth it! Authentic and spicy and filling. My stomach hadn’t felt this notorious full satisfaction of tasty Mexican food in years. You must go, you must get a burrito.

Don’t worry about it, just give them your money and realize this is your new...

Context: I'm front the USA and have lived in California and Texas. I've been traveling the world for the past 6 months and this is by far the BEST burrito I've had outside my area of the globe.

I was a bit cautious since the outdoor dining area was quite nice and bougie. Back home, that means you're paying for the ambiance so expect small portions or mediocre food. This was not true here. The large chicken burrito was a BIG BOY. It was like eating a newborn. The taste was perfect. All of the fillings went well together, there was just the right amount of spice, and the slight, but not overdone, grilling of the tortilla brought it all home.

This place is easily a 10/10 and I'm pleasantly shocked I found it all the way in Wanaka, New...
