B&T: Burritos and Tacos

First thing's first, I am sorry that I wasn't able to post much recently. It was hell week for me in school. But now, we're going on a gloriously long break!

The weekend before hell week started, my mother, my older brother, and I ate in B&T: Burritos and Tacos, a small Mexican restaurant, while waiting for my younger brother to be dismissed from school.

When ordering your food in B&T, you must first pick what kind of food you want to eat (ex. burrito, taco, enchilada, quesadilla, flautas, taquitos, etc.). Next, you order the kind of filling you want inside it: beef, lamb, chicken, pork, fish, shrimp, lengua (beef tongue), or pure vegetables. After picking your filling, you can opt to have your order "wet", where they cover it in a special sauce, or "dry."
We ordered a lamb quesadilla, an order of lamb taquitos especiales, and an order of flautas which had lengua and steak filling individually.

Lamb quesadilla

It's a big order though, so I suggest you share it with someone

The quesadilla was nothing short of heavenly! Every bite was bursting with flavor. They did not scrimp on anything, especially the lamb. The different ingredients and spices were well balanced and suited the lamb very well. Also, the tortilla wrapper that they use wasn't too thick, that way, the flavor of the filling really came out. It really was a show stopper. The order is HUGE so I would suggest sharing it with someone.

Lamb taquitos especiales

The taquitos especiales, though smaller an order, were just as fun to eat as the quesadilla. The taquitos are covered with cheese and a special sauce, making it a bit messy to eat. It's worth it though because the taquitos were great! The filling, of course, was divine and the sauce was excellent. Definitely a must try in this restaurant.

Flautas. The order originally had four pieces, but I forgot to take a picture before we started eating 

One was filled with beef and the other with lengua (beef tongue or the tongue of a cow)

Generally, the only difference between taquitos and flautas is the kind of wrapper they use. Since the flautas have no especial version in the B&T menu, they have no sauce on top (but they, and all the other orders, come with complementary salsas or sauces on the side). The flautas were very good too (the lengua filling was pretty spicy), but they weren't as exciting as the taquitos and the quesadilla. If I were to rate the dishes that the three of us shared in this meal, the flautas would be the third (the quesadilla would be the first).

The owner was there in the restaurant that day. He told us that he got his recipes from a kind old Mexican cook he met while he was living in Texas. He suggested that we try the burrito or the burrito frito  next time.

Oh, there definitely will be a next time!

Until always,
