Today we were again on the hunt for a decent burrito in Sydney. To date, Mad Mex in Darlinghurst had the best. Until I got a quesadilla with all the toppings inside and half rolled into a taco. It was very odd.
We’ve heard about the Beach Burrito Company and we’ve driven by about a hundred times but never tried it. Mostly because parking around Bondi is just ridiculous. Well we actually made the effort this time and I’m really glad we did. They were we’re too bad! They had almost everything except for refried beans. Their black beans were a bit tough and the rice was a bit dry but still added great flavor to the burritos. I think it’s now my favorite* burrito place in Sydney. I had the garden esalada burrito, random bits of cucumber in there but not a bad thing at all! Vini had the beef and he loved it. They had Tapatio sauce on the tables and had a great beach-side in Mexico feel to it. I think I’ll have to go back and try their taco salads (which are REAL taco salads in the tortilla shell and all!) and some nachos. And their website has a surfcam! It’s no Wahoo’s but it’s got that surf burrito feel down.
* Note: Favorite burrito place in Sydney pretty much means it’s the closest thing to something decent. No where near comparisons to burritos in SoCal… yet.
Speaking of Mexican food, I’ve been meaning to mention El Fuerte. He’s a new character on StreetFighter 4. His story is that he’s a Mexican lucha libre chef looking for recipes that make up great fighters… something like that, it was kind of hard to follow. But point is, how awesome that there’s a Mexican chef as a character!!! His signature throws are Guacamole Leg Throw and Tostada Press, or those are the only ones I know how to use. And my absolute favorite part is at the beginning of each fight he says, “It’s dynamic cooking time!” - no idea what that means.
And now for my Sunday night experiments, this week it’s brownies. I’ve attempted 2 different versions that I’ve made before but I seem to always alter the recipe each time. I made a Mocha Brownie and a Traditional Browie with Walnuts. See individual posts for recipes!
