I recall fondly they gut bomb of my college days. I am speaking of "Chipotle", the burrito which probably in itself contained enough calories to feed a small village. Ah yes, the thick cut carnes topped with beans, cheese, lettuce, onions, salsa, rice and a healthy dollop of guacamole and sour cream. Of course, who could forget the refill drinks, the alcohol and the tray with endless tabasco sauces and lemon slices.
After coming to Toyko, I feared that this little slice of tex-mex guilt would be nothing more than a distant memory of my college days. How wrong I was...
While it certainly is less of a gut bomb and the flavors don pack as much of a punch as the one and only Chipotle, it does its job as a substitute for the day I can feast upon Chipotle once again. The restaurant I refer to is known as "Frijoles" located just a short walk from Azabu Juban. Everything is pretty much a carbon replica of my beloved Chipotle, down to the steely interiors and vibe. The same three selections of meats and salsa, in addition to real sour cream and guacamole - a real rarity here. However, it is important to know that spicy in Japan is nothing more than a mere tingle on my palate so you may need an extra dowsing of tabasco if you like it hot. I will mention however, the toilets here are much cleaner and high tech.
