Frijoles

When we return to the USA in summer, both Ryan and I have a list of places we want to visit. Always on his list is Chipolte. The food in Tokyo is wonderful but a barbacoa-like burrito is tough to find. Until now! Friends informed us yesterday late afternoon of a recent opening nearby that mirrors Chipolte in every way, except the name. Friojoles in Azabu-Juban has on their menu made-to-order burritos and tacos with choices including chicken, beef, pork, pinto beans, black beans, cheese, guacamole, hard shell, soft shell, sour cream, and several salsas including the corn variety. In the salsa, the ingredient that seems to be rarely used in Tokyo cuisine, cilantro. After assembled, the food is wrapped in foil. Can you guess what we ate for dinner Sunday night? Yes, take out from Frioles!
Address: 2-3-5 Azabu Juban

Awesome! Now Jen and Mike can visit and Mike won't have burrito withdrawal, as he loves Chipotle.
