I was curious because I love a good mole poblano, and I've never even dreamt of having it in burrito form. I can certainly understand how you might have to bring this Mexican specialty to a burrito for it to really sell in the Fairmount area.
Per usual, the burrito weighed 80 pounds, but also came with a mini bag of homemade chips and salsa. The salsa was unique- almost creamy, but had a nice bite (that means spicy).
The thing presented like a normal burrito, with most of the usual stuff inside (rice, beans, sour cream, cheese). And of course, the mole poblano.
It was made with dark meat chicken (importantly specified on the menu), which was really moist and delicious. The mole sauce was pretty good! It was ever so slightly sweeter than the average mole, but over all it was good. I enjoyed having so many flavors (spices, bitter chocolate, etc...) inside a burrito. One more point I must make- the cheese. I'm not sure what type it was exactly, but melted it almost reminded me of Oaxaca Cheese...just saying.
Such an interesting combination, but I liked it.
