Taiwaneers

Living in Taipei just got that much easier!

One of the things I crave, when I go to the States to visit, is Qdoba/Chipotle burritos. Those big, soft, stuffed full of goodness burritos were always something I wished I could have here in Asia. Sadly, the restaurants that serve burritos here in the Taipei area, yes there are a few, are expensive and pretty much not good. I might even go as far as to say their food is bu hao chi (不好吃), Chinese for bad tasting. This is of course exempting Eddy’s Cantina. However, Eddy’s is all the way up in Danshui so to go is quite a trek and not something that can be done spur of the moment; the way most of the trips Emily and I take to restaurants happen.

All this has changed however. Oola Mexican Grill has opened their doors just two MRT stops away from where we live! They’re logo is so similar to Qdoba’s part of me thinks they stole it right off of the Qdoba website. The burrito bar style is exactly the same, minus beans. The taste isn’t quite as good as Qdoba, but nonetheless it is the best Mexican food I’ve had in the city and I am far from complaining. Plus, they even have guacamole and very decent chips! And…drum roll please…the prices are very reasonable.

Please Taipei residents, please embrace this restaurant and don’t let it go out of business.
