El Burrito Mercado is a place I had been meaning to go to for a while and simply hadn't made it to. it was chosen today by my friend who decided it would be a nice place to go for my birthday lunch. At 1 PM on a Sunday the parking lot was quite full. outside a tent was set up and a man was grilling food. The brightly colored building attracts many people for various reasons. There is the market itself, El Cafe, and then a cafeteria style fast dining section.
We went to the cafeteria line and were greeted with a simple selection. I had the burrito platter and it was wonderful. The tortilla itself was crisp and flaky yet soft and buttery. Inside I chose the Carne Asada and all of the other usual fillings. At El Burrito Mercado, Carne Asada means skirt steak perfectly prepared. Even with a bit of a line, service was quick and seating was available.
If this write-up seems short, it's because it is. El Burrito Mercado is a lovely place to get a lot of food for a low price. If you happen to be in St. Paul's "Little Mexico" area, go there instead of your usual Chipotle.
I do of course plan on going back and seeing what else the building has to offer.
