The new year comes with another celebration -- George's birthday! Although, as a trade off for Christmas, I had to work both New Years Eve day and New Years Day, we managed to get out toward the end of the week for a lovely birthday dinner.
George received an email for a free birthday burrito from one of our favorite burrito places in the area. After researching store hours on the internet however, we discovered that several locations closest to us have closed. Not wanting to use the gas to drive way out to the suburbs for a free burrito, we settled for something closer, and were delighted by what we found.
Recently, George saw a sign for Burrito Mundo and wanted to try it out. We started with their soup of the day, creamy corn and poblano, which was so sweet and creamy, then hot and fiery in your mouth all at once! We also had a nice serving of "green goodness" aka guacamole. For the main entree, we split an order of Mahi Mahi con Mango: Pan-roasted, achiote seasoned Mahi filet over Mundo black beans and rice, topped with mango salsa and plantain chips. It makes my mouth water just talking about it!
If anyone is familiar, in the Boston area there is a restaurant that has been high on George's favorites list called "East Coast Grill" -- Burrito Mundo was like a mini version, with the flavors we like (tropical fruit - mangoes, plantains, etc. combined with seasoned meat/fish dishes). In other words, a tango for the taste buds!
So for the next 3 months, George and I are the same age. Until March, when I, once again, become older and wiser!
