The Street Food Chef — Restaurant in Sheffield

Only two things in life are certain:

1. I will literally never, for any reason, set foot in Champs
2. A Sharrow Street Food Chef Burrito will bang

When Buckin' Burrito on Eccy Road closed down a couple years ago I was left with a huge burrito shaped hole in my life - a huge burrito shaped hole I assumed impossible to fill. However, stumbling across Sharrow Street Food Chef has been a revelation akin to that of Jim Carrey at the end of The Truman Show, hitting the horizon with his storm-battered boat and realising his entire life has been lived as a lie. If, in some miraculous act of God, Buckin' Burrito was to return to Sheffield, I wouldn't even bother going back. Such is the excellence of Sharrow Street Food Chef.

The staff are simultaneously polite, approachable, competent and physically attractive, which makes the entire process from start to finish a pleasurable one. The little street-side collection window allows you to observe the entire operation as your food is prepared, a process similar to that of having a child and watching it develop gracefully into a human being. (Probably, I don't actually have any children. That I know of.)

My only issue with Sharrow Street Food Chef? I wish there was space to sit in and eat, purely because this is where I would bring all my future dates. I'm convinced any girl that I'd taken to this beautiful establishment would be so impressed by my choice of eatery that she'd immediately fall desperately in love with me; swooning in the submission of my excellence like a leper falling at the feet of Jesus.

Also, sell merch. I want a Street Food...

I have ordered from here so many times since I first discovered it last summer, the food is seriously amazing (most of the time) and I highly recommend the quesadillas if you go here! The prices are also really reasonable here too. The staff, however, are unfortunately incredibly incompetent. Almost every single one of my many orders from here have been wrong, but I have never complained as I hate complaining and the food has always been good anyway, or I've already got home.

My very first order I received plain rice instead of Mexican rice and black beans instead of pinto beans. Next time, I paid extra for cheese but didn't get any, I have been given the wrong salsa a few times; there's too many mistakes to keep count of. Recently, when I was waiting for my order, I heard one staff member say to another when making my quesadilla "which salsa on this one? I'll just go green for veggie" (as I ordered jackfruit). Luckily, he guessed right and I did order salsa Verde, but hearing that orders are made by guessing items honestly doesn't surprise me due to all the mistakes. They don't seem to print off receipts or write down the orders. Tonight, the nachos I ordered came with no sour cream and no cheese!

Even though this is one of my favourite places to eat, I honestly think I have to finally stop going here now because I'm so sick of not getting what I order. These constant mistakes are driving away regular customers! It's really...

We recently tried The Street Food Chef for the first time. I had high hopes for trying this restaurant but unfortunately they fell somewhat short. My partner and I ordered two burritos, his was tasty but mine was disappointing.

We arrived at around dinner time which may have been our mistake picking to visit at a busy time. My burrito was made with the last remaining scraps from the containers. I initially thought that this was as they were running out but following putting the remaining scraps into my burrito they replenished the stock. Despite ordering a large burrito there wasn’t enough of some of what I wanted to even fill the serving spoon, I was therefore left with a burrito with underwhelming amount of filling. They also forgot the sour cream from my order which paired with the dehydrated ends of the bean chilli the burrito was extremely dry. I added Greek yogurt which did help somewhat.

My partner order his burrito once the stock had been replenished and nothing was missed from his. His was much more flavourful and not dry at all.

Staff were friendly but were busy and in each other’s way which may be the reason for the missed sour cream from the order.

I think if we were to visit again we’d try the city centre...
