Tejano Is Bringing Its Burritos to Mile End | Eater Montreal

"Signage for a new Mile End location — including a call for staff — recently appeared in the windows of the former bakery Farine on St‑Viateur near St‑Urbain, indicating that St‑Henri burrito-and-more fixture Tejano BBQ Burrito is planning to open there. Tejano has been in the burrito business for nearly five years with an existing spot on de Courcelle in St‑Henri and previously expanded once to William Street in Old Montreal in late 2016. It takes a build-it-yourself approach: customers choose between burritos, tacos, or salad bowls, pick a meat (ancho cumin beef, pulled pork, or chicken tinga), and then add rice, beans, salsas and a range of toppings such as pico de gallo, cheese, lettuce and guacamole. Firmly within the Tex‑Mex canon (“tejano” means “Texan”), its fast-casual menu invites comparison to Chipotle — which doesn’t exist in Montreal — though the write-up emphasizes that Tejano is clearly a whole lot better; owner Clara Barron was formerly associated with Verdun meat-smokers Blackstrap BBQ. (Farine closed its doors last winter; a correction notes Dylan Kier is a former owner, not a current one.)" - Tim Forster
