At the split where Main Street becomes Rosemary, tucked just behind the new coffee shop Jessee’s, is Carrburritos. Despite its small size, I was able to park in the parking lot. Inside you walk up to a counter, much like a cafeteria. The atmosphere is cheery, with bright yellow stucco walls adorned with large colorful acrylics. (In the hallway immediately preceding the restaurant door are featured local paintings.) All the indoor tables are covered in festive oilcloth, lending a South American feel to the joint. Ordering takes only a couple minutes; Mike Ellis of the Reservoir made me a delicious burrito with carne deshebrada, black beans, lettuce, cheese and salsa. All orders come with chips (made there) and your choice of six salsas, all made in house. I asked for the Frutas, which is a citrusy blend of tomatoes, pineapple and red onion.
If you have, as I do, a screaming baby, you may opt to sit on the patio outside. There, amidst the foliage and the quiet burble of a fountain, she can scream to her heart’s content. There are eight tables outside and plenty of shade. It’s also enclosed and looks out onto the Main Street side, through a wrought iron door with a metal cut out of Carrburritos. Lunch with a sweet tea (not toothachingly sweet) doesn’t come cheap at 8.14 plus a dollar tip, but the portions are large and can easily be split in two. Treat a coworker!
