Bailey Blushes: Little Burro: Mexican Food in Hong Kong

Have you ever had authentic burritos in Hong Kong? Unlike Japanese, Thai and Western cuisines, Mexican food is not as easily found in this city. Little Burro is a cozy restaurant down Leighton Road, Causeway Bay. The interior is dimly lit with artwork scattered along the walls, creating a somewhat mellow vibe.

The prices aren't cheap - costing around HKD100 for a meal with a drink. But considering that it's in Hong Kong island (there's another chain in Sheung Wan) it's still acceptable. The menu's style is similar to that of Subway, where you choose what goes into your base (e.g. burrito), with fancy fillings like Kick-ass Pork Canitas and Smokey Chipotle Chicken. Taco, rice and salad are a lighter option if you're not that hungry. We found the portions to be very filling, so it was definitely worth it value-wise.

This is my first time trying authentic Mexican food, so I don't think it's fair for me to judge whether it's good or not. However, I did appreciate the combination of strong flavors in the beans ( a lot of beans!), salsa, sour cream, and could tell that the ingredients were real and generous. If you are a fan of burrito and tacos, I'd say give Little Burro a try.
