Once you have been on a break for a while it adds pressure to make the first food post worth while. Similarly, once you have been out of work for ages, and then suddenly go back and have an array of fantastic food around your office, you want to make that first lunch worth it! I think Daddy Donkey on Leather Lane fulfils both of those very well.
It was always my Friday treat while I was pregnant and I think it was my last day's treat too! Burritos are probably one of my favourite street foods in the world. A good burrito can even, on occasion, surpass a souvlaki! There, I said it! And I am a proud Greek too! Just the combination of the rice, with soft beans, delicious meat, creamy guacamole and spicy salsa - then topped with sour cream and cheese! Heaven. Makes a day at work worth it!
I have tried a fair amount of burritos in London and to me Daddy Donkey are the best in town. They are extremely generous with their fillings (though on the expensive side too) and their meat is always full of flavour and succulent. The service is friendly too and I find the race to get back to the office while it is still warm helps keep some of the calories you are about to consume off!
I usually go for the chicken burrito, but this time opted for the Tomatillo Beef. I honestly don't know how the wrap doesn't burst with the amount of filling that goes in it! I mean rice, beans, meat, salsa, sour cream, cheese and ALWAYS guacamole! Of course you have to develop an appropriate technique in eating it, so that it doesn't burst and spill everywhere. This time I didn't quite manage it - I was out of practise. But last year, by the end I had perfected my technique and I don't think I even wasted a grain of rice!
Really worth a try if you are in the area!
Yum yum yum yum.
