Egg rolls rancheros with a side of salsa, as only thje Burrito Pagoda can make it!
It's been about a year since the Burrito Pagoda opened in the old Cassock District on north Armitage, and I was as delighted as anyone at the adventurousness of Chef Miguel Sanchez and his wife Chef Jun Shan's resourcefulness and sense of adventure in their Sino-Mex cuisine. Well, the national media is finally catching up to what we've known all along -- check out this profile of Sanchez and Shan in the February issue of Gourmet Magazine!
Armitage Heights is gaining a reputation as a "foodie" destination for bold fusion cuisines, and it's no wonder. In the last year alone, three other Sino-Mex places have opened: the Jade Aztec in Kendall Park, Ciudad Prohibido in Armitage Hill, and San Xiao's in the Garden District.
All four are excellent -- the lo mein tacos, Hunan-style frijoles and tortas foo young at Jade Aztec are delicious, and Ciudad Prohibido makes a wonderful sweet-and-sour guacamole. Of course, the Burrito Pagoda still has, for my money, the best Generalissimo Tso's chicken available anywhere -- not to mention the simple pleasures of their legendary stir-fried nachos, a true late-night "mack down" favorite with students at the University of Mishipeshu!
Well, with all this talk about food, I definitely think I'll be sending my assistant Marisha for take-out today!
