Edit * Barburrito is now closed at the Metrocentre *
As a family we love dining out, however with two under 5s when we dine out as a family these days we normally opt for somewhere that is quick and serves food we know the children will enjoy. So when we were recently holiday shopping in the Metrocentre (we are now on countdown to our family holiday to Majorca in just a few short weeks) we decided to visit Barburrito, situated in the Cube dining area. We had never visited Barburrito before but it is quick and filling food - making it perfect for a shopping trip lunch stop.
Barburrito is set up so that when you enter you queue at the counter to be served and can select what burrito filings you would like, meaning each burrito is made fresh before your eyes and exactly how you like (similar to Subway). Service was very quick and efficient and the member of staff was really helpful as it was our first visit she talked us through the menu options. Myself, the other half and teen ordered the regular classic burritos (£6.80 each) and the little two ordered a children's burrito for just £2.95 each.
First up you select your main filling from a choice of chicken, pulled pork, vegetarian/vegan, spicy shredded beef, grilled steak or chicken and chorizo. Myself and the little two opted for the chicken, my teen picked pulled pork and the other half went for the spicy shredded beef. You then pick if you would like white or brown rice, beans or vegetables, a salsa, sour cream and cheese and you can also pay a little more to add extras such as extra meat or guacamole. I really liked that you could pick exactly what you wanted and I could leave out things that I knew the children would not like.
The burritos were all made super quick and I was impressed with how big they actually looked, the children ones were just the right size for my 3 and 4-year-old. We then ordered a couple of bottles of pop and water and some packets of tortilla chips (£1.50) before finding a table and settling down to enjoy our lunch.
The burritos were extremely morish, packed with flavour and very filling so much so that I could not finish mine. All five of us really enjoyed our lunch, especially my younger two children who demolished their burritos. They did find them a bit messy to eat so ended up eating them with one of the plastic forks provided. They also really enjoyed the tortilla crisps too, as did us grown-ups.
At under £10 for a burrito and a drink and just £2.95 for a child's burrito meal we found it good value as it is a similar price you would pay in other fast-food type restaurants. We visited at around 11.30am on a weekday during half-term and it was quite busy with about half the restaurant full of other families, groups of friends and couples enjoy a quick bite to eat whilst shopping.
If you are looking for somewhere that is good value, serves quick and tasty food in the Metrocentre then I do recommend Barburrito as it makes a nice change from other fast food restaurants. If you visit during Easter half-term holidays children also 'eat free' when an adults meal is purchased, making it even better value, please check local store for details.
