There are a few things that are obvious when you go to Guy Fieri’s El Burro Borracho in the Rio: It’s obvious you’re going to have a good time. (I mean, just look at that happy donkey on their logo.) It’s obvious that you’re going to get good food and drink. (Fieri is known for bold flavors in his dishes.) And it’s obvious you’re going to get plenty. (Order the Trash Can Nachos and you’ll see what I mean.)
Those Trash Can Nachos come in a couple of sizes and the large is truly impressive, with tortilla chips layered with queso casero, black beans, pickled red onion, pico de gallo, crema and crumbled cotija cheese, plus cilantro and jalapeños, all in a faux trash can, which is inverted and released from the can. Ah, the snacking pleasure!
Street tacos are served three to an order, including carne asada, al pastor and achiote chicken, plus borracho beans and cilantro rice. You’ll also find enchiladas, fajitas and namesake “burros” with the same meats as the tacos.
And the house-made churros are the perfect ending to the meal, rolled in cinnamon sugar and served with dipping sauce of Mexican chocolate and dulce de leche.
