El Burrito Mercado

“You’ll feel like you’re in Mexico!” it says on EBM’s website, which may explain why Dick and Lynne Cheney kept their visit short last March. For our part, we always leave with more than we came for. El Burrito’s boggling array of dried peppers, from ancho to pasilla, can lure anyone into the Mercado, and our latest trip to the deli case netted a bag of burritos including chorizo, puerco en verde, pollo, and our favorite: shredded bistek in an oily red gravy unmatched anywhere in the metro. If you want to cool your heels, the cafeteria has a new seating area, and they say beer is coming soon.
