The Best Burrito In Bangor, County Down- Bebe Adrianos!

I'm going through one of my phases of being totally addicted to a certain food or dish, this time it's the amazing, fresh burrito bowls from Bebe Adrianos. The new-ish Mexican spot is handily located beside the home of Bangor's best kebab, Piccola Pizza in High Street.

Burrito takeaways are a recent thing to Northern Irish shores, I don't think there was somewhere to purchase fresh burritos until Boojum opened in Belfast and that was only 6 or 7 years ago.

 Bebe Adrianos works the same way as Boojum does- you choose whether you want a classic burrito, tacos, fajitas or burrito bowl, then pick your meat and add on peppers, cheese, guacamole etc.

If I were to give a recommendation I would say go for the pulled pork, the spices they use are delicious, and get lots of the sweetcorn salsa.

The menu also has chips, sweet potato fries, poppin style chicken etc. There is room to sit in, as well as the takeaway option, and they've just launched a new app so you can order and pay online and have your burritos delivered to your door.

They are running a competition on their Facebook to win £100 to celebrate their app launch, so that's worth a visit. 

Let me know if you try them out! 

YES! Mex Elketo Brings Burrito Bars to Bangor!

There's been a lot of buzz on Facebook this week in various groups about the opening of Bangor's first proper burrito bar. Mex Elketo, newly opened at the services on the Rathgael Road has the fast, Mexican food experience that until now was only available a half hour drive away in Belfast.

Elketo is a healthy alternative to a regular takeaway, with slow cooked, pulled meats, nutritious beans & peppers and lots of fresh salsa. Their classic burrito is quite the belly buster, and it's up to you how spicy you dare go.

Is it just me who wishes they could get a big spoon and just eat all that fresh, colourful corn salsa? 

As well as burritos their menu offers tacos, sides like sweet potato fries, freshly made tortillas with nacho cheese, and my favourite the burrito bowl, which is a big tub of meat, rice, peppers and salsa.

To test out the menu my husband tried the pulled chicken burrito and made it super spicy. Their house chilli sauce will blow your socks off. 

I can't handle the heat as well as Michael can, so I went for the taco chip. Healthy, low-fat sweet potato fries topped with pulled beef, cheese and salsa. Absolutely delicious and big enough to take two sittings to eat.

The sweet potato fries are a must try. Call into Mex Elketo any day between 11am and 8pm (hours will be lengthening soon) and befriend Elketo on Facebook to stay up to date with offers, news, competitions and to find out when their exclusive app launches. (Search 'Mex Elketo')

Kitsch Wedding Gifts

A friend on Twitter said she was having difficulty finding fun hen party items that weren't willy-themed. I must agree, I couldn't find many exciting bits on eBay after accepting the challenge to find her something.

The closest to cool I could come up with was more directed toward the actual wedding. Searching eBay for Day of the Dead wedding items threw back these Mexican & goth cake toppers. I suppose they could make a nice gift for the bride as an ornament, if she's into kitsch. If anyone has any other ideas for @nadinephp, you can get her on Twitter and help her out.
