Editorial Review for Carrburritos Taqueria – by J.P. Anderson
In Short
A hippie-chic Carrboro crowd gathers at this casual spot. Mexican tchotchkes adorn the sunny yellow walls and a handful of tables are scattered about the charmingly low-rent room. Cheap, fresh fare keeps the locals coming. The chunky guacamole and six house-made salsas are served with a big basket of corn and flour chips. Seafood dishes, tacos and quesadillas make up the menu. But the burrito with eight different fillings is the signature item here.

Carrburritos was one of the places I was told I had to go to when I moved up here. It's a local favorite, and with the large variety of unique ingredients (seafood, sweet potatoes) along with typical favorites, it doesn't disappoint. In fact, the food is so exceptional, including a slew of salsa options, that it would be an perfect restaurant if not for... 1) Drinks. I don't know about you, but a can of soda or a cup of water is not enough beverage to get me through a meal. The lack of a fountain means getting every mile out of that 12oz drink, buying another, or waiting for the overworked staff to pour you another glass of water. 2) Ambience. This is sort of a wash because the quaint atmosphere, including the grotto-esque outdoor seating is pleasant. Still, the place is cramped and gets extremely loud during high traffic times. 3) Clientèle. If you spend much time in Carrboro then you probably understand where I'm going, but it's worth mentioning to visitors from out of town. Without fail, you will encounter at least one group of people who will make you want to bash your skull into a wall. I've sat next to couples/groups who have spent an entire lunch discussing the quality of trays, congratulating each other on being able to correctly pronounce Chorizo, or arrogantly pontificating on current events. Like I said, it's a cramped seating area and you're going to have to listen to these people. Your best bet is to get this great food and book it out of there to enjoy in the privacy of your home/work/what have you.
Pros: Wonderful burrito joint food, great variety, great value
Cons: Crowded, getting refills on water/salsa can be a chore, no fountain drinks, patrons

I wouldn't go so far as to say this is the BEST Mexican restaurant around, but the food is tasty and the atmosphere is lively. I've been there 5 times with different sized groups each time, and I've ordered something different each time. They have a friendly and helpful staff, and a nice place to hang out. Their salsas are out of this world!
Pros: Great salsa.
