The Thousands

Taco it from me, it’s a war out there. The streets are set to run bloody with burrito sauce as we make way for a new contender in Fitzroy’s raging taco turf war. Operating out of a wagon in the hollows of Odessa Creative Space, Living Burrito Loca is a Mexican pop-up putting on cheap and easy eats Thursdays to Sundays from December 9 until the end of January.

Under the helm of Danceteria matriarch Megan Palmer and ex-Gasometer chef Capri, expect a hangout vibe and a tight menu of chicken, fish and bean burritos, blue corn tacos and breakfast burritos. The vegan and GF options are plentiful and there’s this thing Megan invented called a Dessert Burrito. There’ll also be specials every week, such as prawn tacos and maybe a chimichanga.

Oh and they’ve rigged up an ice crusher. And coffee. Speaking of drinks, Living Burrito Loca opens this Friday with throat wetters supplied by El Jimador Tequila. Come on down and meet the current mayor of Taco Town.
