You can have dis ting or dat ting.. but why not try it all? Be careful because most of the food is spicy.. and jerk doesn't mean your a jerk, it just means it's got a nice flavoring. Salmon jerk!  Only in Vancouver.

For the first time in a year i had 2 burritos that were duds. I don't know what happened but everything tasted cheap, not fresh, and yucky. I didn't make it through 1/2 of my burrito. I was sad.

I think anytime you soak a sandwich in butter and fry it with good quality cheese and on fresh yummy bread.. it should taste good.. and Burgoo does this very very succesfully. This sandwich is so good, you really don't want to share. You may want to…More »
