I think) that mentioned a burrito place on the 200 W. block of Van Buren. I can't locate the message but want to visit the place. Can someone please remind me of the name, location, what to order, and whether it is still there? thanks!

My impression is that they also went around to other areas of the south Loop, a burrito-mobile if you will. It's probably worth looking for on the street, if you're down in that area around lunch. joel Thu Aug 01 23:26:13 -0700 2002 601026 0 joel 3 601053 I've eaten at both - the location on VanBuren and the buggy itself. I greatly prefer the VanBuren location (more selection, fresh preparation,etc), though a mobile burrito is a great thing in a pinch!

It's always a miracle to hear of a great place in the Loop.

This baby will really fill you up but it is tasty indeed. Just a thought if you want a burrito rather than a taco. Hope you like the place, and that the aroma from Frank's Shrimp doesn't put you off too much. Fri Aug 02 13:00:44 -0700 2002 601089 0 Harry V. 4 601093 Many thanks, Harry V. I'll round up some people from work so we can try the special burrito and some tacos! Fri Aug 02 13:12:32 -0700 2002 601091 0 susanb 1 601115 although there's nothing else similar within the Loop... Give me a real taqueria any day of the week! :) I always find their meet to be indisinguishable between the types (meaning I can't tell the difference between the steak, chicken and pork). Their always these tiny little nuggets... I guess I'm just saying that I have gotten spoiled eating at "real" burrito places (having the steak chopped up before put into my burrito)... In all honesty, I think I'd pick "Chipotle" over Burrito Buggy when in the Loop... Just my opinion of course. Fri Aug 02 16:21:28 -0700 2002 601024 0 marusin
