Mi Casa Burritos - Solihull

I’ve been trying to find the branch at Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham road . Casa De Burrito. Just had to leave a review for this branch’s food . Absolutely APPALLING! In a nutshell . Waited an hour for it , to be delivered stone cold and dried out . To top it all my eldest who had the tacos now has diahorrea. ! NEVER AGAIN!!

We arrived in Birmingham by train and before going to our hotel in Chinatown (ibis) Had a snack here. I had the medium burrito and it had so much in it that I questioned the girls ability to close it. They put the tortilla on kitchen foil and the wrap it so tightly in the outer grease roof wrap that she closed it with ease. You then peel it back to eat it very efficient and excellent quality. My wife had tortilla chips with dips which was ok but the burrito was the name of the game here.

I work in central Birmingham and called in here for lunch on what was probably one of the coldest days of the year physically and climatically it couldn’t be further from Mexico! I ordered a burrito with pork, medium salsa, optional cheese and the supplement guacamole. It came with the standard refried beans and rice, all wrapped in a pretty large tortilla. The girl behind the counter was friendly and very pleasant not overselling anything and she wrapped the burrito very well. Before when I have eaten burritos or fajitas I have found the content spills out everywhere. Here it was compacted in very well and there was no spillage when I ate it; yet it was still a pretty decent sized snack to eat. Pork is the second most expensive meat filling behind beef and with the extra 50p guacamole the whole thing came to about £7.50 which some people might find expensive, but the restaurant is in an extremely busy mainline railway station so one has to expect and understand higher prices (although as I said the burrito was big and had a lot of filling). It seemed to go cold quite quickly but this may not be the restaurant’s fault: I went on a bitterly cold day, and being a “fast food” type establishment in a station the doors are wide open. The restaurant is situated just off the main station concourse after the ticket barriers in what Birmingham New Street describe as its “Red Lounge” this comprises a strip of cafes and shops laid out either side of the numerous escalators that lead down to the station platforms. For my part I wasn’t traveling at the time I ate but my commuter season ticket allowed me to access this area of the station in any event. Inside the restaurant is decorated in a generally dark fashion with a few chairs both metal and upholstered. I wanted to sit in the corner but ended up moving tables to avoid sitting in some burrito dropping from a previous customer. They sold what they described as a range of Mexican beer but I could only make out Peroni in bottles and Sam Miguel on draft (Italian and Spanish respectively, albeit the San Miguel had a plastic cup over its tap suggesting it was not on that particular day). There is wallpaper with a range of (stereotypical) Mexican themes male figure in colourful poncho plus sombrero and guitar; tapas dishes; Central American cars etc This is not a “date night” place to eat, but as a place for a snack whether you are going on a train journey or not then it is more than adequate and I would be more than happy to eat there again.

Quite frequently popped in here for a train beer before catching my connecting train but the price has risen from slightly steep to a whopping £5.45 which is beyond ridiculous. Kicking themselves in the teeth with that as there's no way in seven hells I'm paying that for a darn lager!! Worth noting if you are going in you will likely have to knock on the staff door to get service as otherwise you'll miss said connecting door.

I had the worst lunch here. Hope won’t get food poisoning. Too expensive for the worst lunch. Never go back .
