Generous, fast-assembled burritos and bowls make this Griffith Street counter a reliable post-surf refuel. Diners call it their go-to Mexican stop in Coolangatta for fresh, well-seasoned builds. The crew lets you taste-test slow-cooked proteins at the counter and swap bases on the fly—extra lettuce over rice if you want it lighter. Hearty vegan options, crisp salsas, and burritos laced with trezinga and smoky chipotle come rolled with care, each meal tied to the Plate 4 Plate donation initiative.
- Custom counter builds: Counter staff let first-timers sample slow-cooked meats before choosing, happily tailoring bases like swapping rice for crisp lettuce.
- Post-surf refuel: Hearty burritos and bowls hit the spot early in the morning and right after sessions in the Coolangatta surf.
- Plate 4 Plate giving: Every burrito or bowl purchase helps provide a meal to someone in need through the Plate 4 Plate initiative.
