| - It is truly fusion if you only just put stuff inside of a burrito?
I hit the Desi Burrito food stand a while back and first off, I love the artwork. The random moon faces, what looks like an Indian farmer's market scene, and everything else that covers the burrito like structure it's very eye catching. Even if you weren't hungry, you might be after looking at the artwork and smelling the tasty aromas.
I waked up and went with the Chicken Chili Burrito, Samosas, and the Pani Puri. Like I mentioned before the smells coming from the window were intoxicating and might have caused me to over order. The burrito was decent sized and filled with tons of flavor, tender spicy chicken, brown rice and assortment of veggies. A great option if you're hungry because this thing is huge, but also messy. My burrito had a little too much sauce, which with the added chicken chili sauce, my tortilla simply fell apart about halfway through.
The samosas were great, but pricey. These little fried pockets stuffed with potatoes, green peas and will run you about $1.50 each. A nice side snack, but I'm not sure they are worth the cost. Pani Puri are hollow fragile pastry balls that you crack open, fill potatoes, spicy water and then consume. These took so much work for such little flavor; I was over it by the second one.
I really enjoyed most of the food here and the service was fast. I just feel like there's a few things that don't translate well to the food stand culture, like messy snacks time-consuming snacks.
Guys, keep it simple. Keep it clean.
