Recently I found myself in Munich, Germany at the end of a long work-related trip to Europe. \u00a0Most people who will have gone to Europe will know that Mexican food isn’t\u00a0abundant in many parts of Europe, Southeast Germany included. \u00a0Many people who read this blog will also know\u00a0that in Southern California (pretty much anything South of Fresno) Chipotle has had supply constraints and hasn’t offered carnitas in many of its restaurants. \u00a0The great Carnitas Drought has lasted quite some time, several months longer than I would have expected. \u00a0Anyway, I enjoy a carnitas burrito from Chipotle from time to time. \u00a0But I digress…<\/p>\n

What is a man to do in a situation? \u00a0Go to the only Chipotle clone in a 500km radius and roll the dice on some carnitas. \u00a0To emphasize, I’m not expecting a fantastic\/authentic Mexican meal here, I’m in Germany during the spring and am about 6,000 miles away from Southern California.<\/p>\n

Enter Pure Burrito: A Mexican Eatery located conveniently at\u00a0Lindwurmstra\u00dfe 57,\u00a080337 Muenchen,\u00a0Germany. \u00a0I was pleasantly surprised, but the carnitas at Pure Burrito was pretty good, so it definitely hit the spot.<\/p>\n

The downsides to Mexican restaurants abroad always comes down to supply constraints. \u00a0It’s just very hard to get the same type of beans, rice, cheese, salsa, tortillas, etc. over in Europe without having to lose freshness or jack up the prices past a viable price point.<\/p>\n

The Carnitas burrito at Pure Burrito<\/p><\/div>\n

So the carnitas burrito at Pure Burrito was an interesting mix of things you could get at a local grocery store in the US, and interesting local takes on the meat and vegetables. \u00a0For example, the carnitas and pico de gallo was pretty solid and flavorful, but the cheese and tortillas were Mission\u2122 brand that you would get at a super market. \u00a0Also, the restaurant featured Tapatio, but no Tabasco.<\/p>\n

Pure Burrito features Tapatio instead of Tabasco<\/p><\/div>\n

At the end of the day, if you’re in Munich and need a burrito, Pure Burrito is not a bad option.<\/p>\n
