Boojum Merrion Street

You'll smell the grilled chicken and cilantro before you even reach the counter at this compact Merrion Street spot. The setup is pure assembly line efficiency – point at your protein, watch them load up rice and beans, then brace yourself for the generous dollop of guac that makes the extra £1.50 worth every penny. The staff work with practiced speed, wrapping burritos the size of small logs while somehow keeping conversation flowing. The buzz here is constant – office workers grabbing lunch, students refueling between lectures, and evening diners who've discovered that a Boojum burrito bowl is actually dinner sorted. Nothing fancy about the setup, just metal counters and a few high tables, but when your carnitas are this well-seasoned and the salsa has actual heat, you don't need mood lighting.
