El Burro is not just another Mexican restaurant. It doesn’t serve tex-mex-food, nor Mexican junk food, but rather Mexican cuisine with an unique, authentic menu.

Have a tequila

.. and a &Union beer. El Burro also serves authentic Mexican drinks. Try the Mexican Horchata, a cold drink made of rice, almonds, cinnamon, lime zest and sugar. They say this drink is rumoured to be a great cure for a hangover. When you’re at El Burro, you should definitely drink a tequila. There’s one for everyone’s taste and everyone’s purse. On offer are 37 imported tequilas from Mexico.

Eat

... unique Mexican. Starters include chilli rellenos (grilled smoked jalapeños in Adobo sauce stuffed with quesco fresco accompanied by a salad and fresh guacomole), ceviche (finely chopped line fish marinated in lime juice, jalapeño chili, coriander and ginger accompanied by red onion relish and tostadas) as well as taquitos, carne ceviche and pan seared squid.

As mains El Burro's build your own tacos are a must; whereby you decide on a filling of your choice (line fish, grilled chicken or chillorio pork) accompanied by corn or flour tortillas and served with guacamole, pickled red onion, sour cream, shredded lettuce, a roasted tomato relish and my favourite, a smoked version.

Do not miss the ... eye-candy interior: wood, couches, cacti, red, lights, candles, mirrors and Mexican elements. El Burro is simply comfy, has a cool bar and a warm fireplace. The best tables must be the ones next to fireplace and of course, in summer the best spot is the balcony!
