Barburrito - Manchester Piccadilly Gardens

You'll spot the queue before you see the counter - always a good sign when you're hunting for decent Mexican food in the city centre. The setup is classic fast-casual: point at what you want, watch them build your burrito with military precision, then grab a table if you're lucky enough to snag one during the lunch rush. What sets this place apart from the usual burrito assembly line is the attention to detail. The pork is properly slow-cooked until it falls apart, the rice isn't mushy, and they don't scrimp on the guacamole. Sure, you're eating next to Piccadilly Gardens' usual cast of characters, but when your carnitas bowl is this good and costs under a tenner, you learn to embrace the controlled chaos. The nachos are properly loaded too - none of that sad cheese drizzle nonsense.
