Unlike the Mexican street food that is usually served in the US, the ingredients used at Cholo have been refrigerated all the way from the source, so the freshness is guaranteed. In terms of flavour, the burritos served by Cholo compare favourably with the best that Tomi has tasted around the world.

The owner of Cholo also runs the Patrona Modern Mexican Kitchen on Annankatu, which has become super popular in just a short space of time. Tomi Björk has managed to get a table there once in a while and considers its lamb dishes in particular to represent the very best street food.

“The lamb broth and lamb tacos is a dish that is very well thought out by the chefs and really brings out the flavour.”

Manu, the owner of Cholo and Patrona, tells us that this kind of lamb dish is typical street food in his hometown of Mexico City and is very popular after a night of partying.

Tomi Björck loves how Helsinki’s new street food vendors are offering places to eat to suit all kinds of different occasions.
