Burrito Madre

''Tako, tako, samo tako, to srce želi!'' Ne, nije u pitanju narodna pesma, već pesma koju moja najbolja drugarica i ja uvek pevušimo kada posle večernjeg izlaska u omiljenom pabu hoćemo da jedemo, nakon što nam je pivo otvorilo apetit. Kada hoćete dobar obrok, koji će zaista da vas zasiti, a izbor vam je pre fast food nego restoran, zaista toplo preporučujem Burrito madre. Smešten u Bezistanu, na mestu nekadašnjeg kafića Biblioteka, poseta ovom mestu će vam biti i više nego simpatična jer će vas dočekati nacrtani likovi Burrito familia-e, koji će vam uz obrok ''pričati'' svoju priču. Od skoro su otvoreni i u Savamali i na Bulevaru, ali kako ih još nismo posetile, opisaćemo samo ovaj na Terazijama.


Burrito Madre

 Ovaj fast food odskače od drugih i zbog toga smo odlučile da im posvetimo poseban post na blogu, jer to definitivno zaslužuju. Prostor je veoma lep, sastoji se od nivoa i gornjeg sprata, sa prostranim stolovima, a u zavisnosti od toga da li više volite da gledate prolaznike na Terazijama, ili ste pre za intimniju atmosferu, odlučićete da li ćete sesti gore ili dole. Za koju god se od te dve opcije odlučite nećete pogrešiti, jer će svuda oko vas biti slike Burrito porodice. Leti, naravno, postoji opcija da jedete i napolju, u bašti.

 Izuzetno simpatični likovi, na čelu sa Madre, biće vam na neki način smrenica šta jesti i kako uživati u hrani, kao pravi hedonista. Madre, kao glava porodice i domaćica će vam samim svojim stavom od starta staviti do znanja da je ovo mesto gde se dobro jede i da niko neće ostati gladan. U ponudi imate burrito (u tortilji ili u činiji) i pileću salatu. Deluje malo? Samo tako deluje, jer imate gomilu sastojaka koji idu u burito, kao i u salatu. Za početak, birate koje meso želite. Možete da se odlučite za piletinu, svinjetinu, junetinu, ili pikantne meksičke ćufte. Prvo birate koji pirinač želite (meksički ili standardni), potom pasulj, crni ili pasulj sa dimljenim mesom, onda se odlučujete za meso. Zatim je tu i kukuruz, crveni luk, miks zelenih salata, raznorazno povrće, prelivi, mnogo dodataka posle kojih vam creva dugo neće krčati. Postoji, naravno, i vegetarijanska opcija. To vam sve spremaju na licu mesta i pred vama prave burito, tako da ste sami kreator svoje hrane. Kada ste izabrali svoj obrok, možete se odlučiti za neku od njihovih limunada, raznih ukusa, jagoda, malina, kivi, itd. Možete izabrati i churros, ako želite desert, pa da kompletirate obrok. Na to će vas verovatno navesti i marijač sa slike, koji uz gitaru ''peva'' pesmu: ''Slatka si k'o churros, sveža k'o burito, rado bih te mala za izlazak pit'o!'' I kako da vas ne navede da ne uzmete i churros? Sve to vam lepo serviraju na, takođe, simpatičnom poslužavniku, gde se priča o porodici Burrito i njihovoj hrani nastavlja.


Burrito Madre - poslužavnik

Pošto ovde veoma često jedemo, logično je da smo probale sve sa menija. I burito (i sa tortiljom i u činiji) i salata su odlični, sa bogatim prilozima, ovo je mesto gde se na tome ne štedi. Burito u tortilji je savršen da zasiti moju šlank najbolju drugaricu, a salata je idealna za mene, što za periode kad održavam liniju, što za moje čuvene dijete, kad ih držim. Churros je, za naš ukus, malo presladak, ipak nismo baš toliki ljubitelji slatkiša, znam da je za mene to teško poverovati, ali svakako je dobar, pa mogu sladokuscima slobodno da kažem da navale. Limunade smo, takođe, sve probale i naš izbor je uglavnom jagoda, veoma prijaju, naročito po toplom letnjem danu.

I tako, nakon svakog ukusnog obroka i punog stomaka, El Capitano (koga možete da vidite na slici), glavni kontrolor zadovoljstva mušterija, da nije nacrtan, mogao bi samo da uzvikne ''Ay policia!'' Taj uzvik ne bi bio zbog straha od policije, već potvrda da je Gastro policija još jednom otišla zadovoljna, sa tendencijom da dođe još mnogo puta.


Voli vas vaša Gastro policija!!

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

''Tako, tako, samo tako, to srce želi!'', this is a verse of popular Serbian turbo-folk song, not funny in English but hilarious in Serbian, literal  translation would be “Like that, just like that, that my heart desires” but since the Serbian word for Like that  is Tako, the meaning of the verse is that my heart desires taco :D This is the song that my best friend and I always sing after a night out in our favorite pub, after the beer that we drank whetted our appetite. When you want to have a good meal that will really make your stomach full,  but you’ll rather have fast food than go to a restaurant, I strongly recommend Burrito Madre. Located in Bezistan, on the site of a former cafe Library, your visit of this place will be more than cute since the cartoon characters of Burrito family will welcome you and “narrate”their story while you eat. Recently, they opened two more restaurants, one in Savamala and the other in the King Alexander Boulevard, but since we haven’t visited those yet, we will only describe the one at Terazije.


Burrito Madre


This fast food stands out from the others and that is why we decided to dedicate an entire post to it, because they definitely deserve it. The place is very nice, it consists of ground and upper floor, with wide tables, and you’ll decide whether you want to sit upstairs, if you want more intimate atmosphere, or down if you want to observe passersby at Terazije. Whichever option you choose you can’t go wrong, Burrito family photos will be all around you. Of course, during summer, there is an option to eat outdoors, in the garden.

Extremely likable characters, led by Madre, will be sort of a directive on what to eat and how to enjoy the food, like a true hedonist. From the start, as a head of the family and a housewife, Madre will make it clear to you, by her attitude, that this is a place where you can eat well and that nobody will remain hungry. They offer you a burrito (in tortilla or in a bowl) and chicken salad. Seems insufficient? Only seems that way because you have a bunch of ingredients that go into a burrito, and a salad as well. For starters, you choose which meat you want. You can opt for chicken, pork, beef or chili Mexican meatballs. First, you choose which rice you want (Mexican or standard), followed by beans, black beans or beans with smoked meat, then you choose the meat. Then there is corn, red onion, lettuce mix, various vegetables, dressings, many ingredients that will stop your stomach from rumbling for a long time. There is, of course, a vegetarian option. Everything is made on spot and in front of you, so that you are the creator of your own food. Once you have chosen your meal, you can opt for one of their lemonades, a variety of flavors, strawberry, raspberry, kiwi, etc. You can also choose a churros, if you want a dessert, and to complete your meal. The mariachi from the picture will probably make you order a churros, since he is ”playing” his guitar while “singing” a song: '' You're sweet as churros, fresh as a burrito, baby, I'd gladly ask you on a date''. You can’t say no to churros after that. All of this is served on a nice, and also charming tray, where the story of Burrito family and their food continues.

Logically, since we eat here very often, we tried everything on the menu. Both burrito (in tortilla and in a bowl) and salad are great, with lots of ingredients, they don’t skimp on it. Burrito in tortilla is perfect for filling my slim best friend’s stomach, and a salad is perfect for me, both for times when I watch my weight and  when I’m on a diet, my famous diets. Churros is a little too sweet to our taste, we're not big fans of sweets, I know that in my case it's hard to believe it, but it certainly is good, so I can freely say to those who like sweets to go for it. We also tried all of their lemonades, we usually choose one made out of strawberries, they are very savory, especially on a warm summer day.

So, after each delicious meal and a full belly, El Capitano (which you can see in the picture), the controller in charge of customer’s satisfaction, could only say '' Ay policia! '', had he not been only a drawing. That would not be a cry of fear from the police, but a confirmation that the Gastro police once again has left satisfied, with a tendency to come back many more times.

Love, Gastro police !!
