PrintBest Burrito in New York: Los Dados Lamb Barbacoa
Burritos in New York are usually a sorry lot, especially with Kitchen Market gone, but if you are interested in sampling a burrito in the big apple that will get you excited about burritos again, run, do not walk, to Sue Torres' meatpacking district taqueria Los Dados for a lamb barbacoa burrito. The braised lamb is tender and just lamby enough, the tortilla is soft and delicate, and unlike a lot of burritos in this burg this one doesn't confuse quantity with quality. There's plenty of lamb, jack cheese, well-seasoned black beans, fluffy rice, and pico de gallo in this lamb barbacoa burrito, but not so much that you'll feel bloated after eating one.
I have lots more to say about what Torres is doing at Los Dados, so stay tuned.

A foodie friend and I tried the lamb barbacoa burrito this weekend on your advice. It was okay. About what I expected for the neighborhood. What I liked best was the tenderness of the lamb. It did have just the right amount of rice and beans, but I felt it could have used more punch- maybe some extra onions, garlic, lime, chili peppers, etc. My friend didn't think it was much better than the beef burrito at Chipotle, and much smaller. I wasn't impressed by their salsa, that could have been a lot better. In retrospect I wish one of us had ordered the pork torta, I'm pretty curious about that now. I couldn't help but fantasize about the amazing bahn mi sandwich around the corner at Five Nine.
