| - My last dinner in town was at Jaburritos on the Linq Promenade. Jaburritos is a Chipotle-style fast casual restaurant specializing in sushi burritos that is a small, local chain that just started up in Las Vegas. It wouldn't have even occurred to me to give Jaburritos a shot had it not been for an Uber driver earlier in the week that had talked it up and gave me a coupon for 10% off my bill. While I'm frequently skeptical of Asian fusion, my curiosity was piqued since I certainly hadn't seen or heard of anything like it back in Ohio.
Jaburritos followed the Chipotle model of ordering and paying at a counter then the staff working assembly line style put together your order while you wait. The dining room wasn't large, but there was seating if you chose to eat in. Jaburritos must have struck a chord with other diners, because the place was jammed and there was a line out the door at 8pm on a Monday night. The line moved at a good pace. Once I got to the counter, I ordered the Redondo sushi burrito combo (Ahi Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, cucumber, Masago (fish roe), red onion, tortilla strips, jalapeño, cilantro, and white sushi rice with a wasabi mayo sauce) wrapped in soy paper (+$1 supplement), which came with a choice of side and a fountain drink. I chose the seaweed salad. You could also get your sushi burrito wrapped in nori (seaweed) or in a flour tortilla, or served in a bowl over lettuce or rice. The different sushi burritos were all priced under $15, which may seem pricey, but the quality of the fish was truly sushi grade, the ingredients were fresh, and the quantity received was definitely in line with its price. I was very pleased with my order. The fish possessed vibrant colors without a hint of fishy smell. The wasabi mayo sauce had the potency to clear the sinuses. Taken as a whole, my sushi burrito was nicely balanced in its flavor. However, I think if you're looking to keep it light, the nori or soy paper wraps are your best options. My only small (very small) critique would be that the size of the seaweed salad that comes with the combo seemed a bit undersized, which wasn't too big of a deal since I came for the sushi burrito.
Jaburritos was a very pleasant surprise and solid way to end my vacation. It's a concept that seemed pretty crazy at first, but I have to admit that it really worked! My experience was made all the better by the friendly, upbeat, and patient customer service I received. Jaburritos is a place that I highly recommend for a totally satisfying meal for those that are looking for something familiar, yet completely different.
