He has become an inspiration to Chef Santiago and KOL. 

Santiago and Jorge are welcoming diners to their four-hands collaboration to experience an authentic, personable and contemporary exploration into Mexican cuisine. The two chefs will spend time beforehand foraging in Kent’s open countryside to part source ingredients and inspiration for this new collaboration. 

The tasting menu will feature 8 creative dishes, served with an opening welcome drink from Montelobos Mezcal. Non-alcoholic options are available throughout the meal, as well as a drinks pairing using Montelobos Mezcals, or a curated selection of wines from the KOL Mezcaleria.

Authentic Mexican street food eatery Barburrito launches exciting new menu. The twist? It's inspired by loyal customers

Ultra-authentic Mexican street food eatery Barburrito has launched an exciting and innovative new menu which is influenced by some of South America’s most popular dishes.  

Earlier this year they gathered thousands of pieces of feedback from their customers and the results inspired the creation of the new menu dishes and innovations. 

Barburrito’s talented chefs have worked very hard and tirelessly to create a selection of new mouthwatering dishes which are designed to transport your taste buds right over to Mexico. 

The menu features the introduction of Tortas, Tacos, a brand-new range of salsas as well as lots of recipe improvements and tweaks including their cheese sauce, guacamole, pink onions and many more. 

Introducing the first new dish, the Torta. It's a light, sweet bun which is filled with all your favourites (think Barbacoa Beef, Smoky Chipotle salsa, cheese, slaw, jalapeños and sour cream. Yum!) as you always choose the fillings at Barburrito. 

Another new exciting addition to the menu is Tacos, crafted with love and bursting with authentic flavours. You can create your own tacos by opting what goes inside but think of tender Pork Carnitas nestled in warm, soft tortillas, loaded with cheese, lettuce, pink onions and a new Mango & Habanero salsa. Each bite is a fine fiesta of flavours as the chefs have carefully selected the freshest ingredients and traditional spices to create a truly unforgettable experience. 

Whether you're a fan of classic favourites such as Barburrito’s Grilled Chicken or adventurous enough to try their vegan This™ Isn’t Chicken, so they’ve got something for everyone. 

Sophie Green, who has the enviable position as Barburrito's Marketing Manager of , said: “We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new and exciting authentic menu. In May, we gathered thousands of insights from our loyal customer base to form our revamped menu, which is a celebration of the vibrant and rich culinary heritage of Mexico. 

"We’d like to thank our amigos for their help and say there'll be a lot more exciting plans for the brand coming up in each of our local stores. Join us to check out the new menu and experience a fiesta of taste sensations like never before!”  

To celebrate the launch Barburrito will be giving away free samples of nachos with their new cheese sauce and salsas and doing free food drops to local offices. They are also running a £5 new menu items offer (Tortas, Tacos, Loaded Nachos with a filling) if you have the app downloaded. 

Customers can download the app by searching ‘Barburrito Rewards’ on the app store, where they will get exclusive access to the loyalty stamp cards.

Students do not get the stamp cards but get 20 per cent off every visit instead. 

Barburrito has 17 stores across the UK, from London to Aberdeen, operating dine-in, grab-and-go and delivery services. In 2005 the UK’s first burrito bar landed with Barburrito opening in Manchester Piccadilly gardens, taking inspiration from Mexico’s spirited culture, fresh ingredients, and irresistibly flavoursome food.  

They are known as well-established pioneers of the burrito game but never stop perfecting the hand made to order burrito and developing ranges of protein packed, superfood filled naked bowls. Each Barburrito store is unique, offering delicious food and incredible service with customer loyalty that just can’t be bought.
