St-Henri: Tejano BBQ Burrito

There’s a bit of a mix-up so for today’s Family Meal – eat out!

Tejano BBQ Burrito is a new-ish joint from the team behind Blackstrap BBQ in Verdun.  They serve up… you guessed it!  Burritos with all the fixings.

I know, I know – everyone and their dog has written about Tejano already so I’ll only focus on two things.  If you should go there – YES YOU SHOULD – (and frankly I don’t talk about places I wouldn’t recommend) and the family-logistics of it.

First off the menu is pretty basic.  I think if I was ordering for my kid (3 years old), I’d ask for something like the pulled pork in a bowl with a tortilla on the side.  For myself, size wise, I ordered the XL.  When the young gentleman serving me said he thought a regular would be enough, I told him that I was feeding two and pointed to my 6 month old.  Then I winced, realizing there was NO WAY he’d get the breastfeeding reference and probably thought I was just blaming my appetite on the poor baby.

Secondly, this is not a place to bring the family for a sit down meal.  It’s small and there’s only a very small area to eat with stools.

This is it.  Got it?

Having said that, this place is amazing so definitely make it a family meal  – just bring it back home to eat.  Besides, no one wants to see half a burrito rolling down your face in public.

If you want to walk from Westmount or St-Henri (doable!) access into the restaurant is just a tiny tiny ledge.  There’s a parking lot next door (although I didn’t check if it was really truly for patrons of Tejano).  I parked on Notre-Dame at the corner of Courcelle (the street they are located on) and it DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A METER.  I nearly pooped my pants I couldn’t believe it.

ps If you’re sending your husband to pick up the order, use this order sheet so he knows EXACTLY what you want.
