Panchos Mid Valley City Where can one find a burrito in KL that hasn't been bastardised with fried chicken and mayonnaise? Enter Panchos, a homegrown and independent fast food-style restaurant reminiscent of a taco shop. It's a good-looking taco shop too; Aztec print walls, suspended light bulbs and a bare cement floor that wouldn't look out of place in a cool neighbourhood café.

My first Panchos experience was a takeaway chipotle beef burrito – reheated after a few hours. Even with the tortilla a little on the soggy side (thanks to the microwave), this was a pleasant first experience. A burrito is typically a tortilla stuffed and rolled up with rice, beans, pico de gallo (fresh tomato salsa), lettuce, sour cream, cheese and meat; amazingly all the ingredients were on point.

A cornucopia of choices turns this section into a real variety show.

Huckleberry After Dark, Plaza Damansara. And boy, there are burgers - in the battle between chicken & beef, the former wins; the buttermilk chicken thigh is a deep-fried behemoth of dripping juices (RM20.90) that the leaner & less tender Beast Mode beef burger can't surmount, despite intriguing toppings of barbacoa pulled beef, duck bacon & root beer BBQ sauce that crown the patty constructed with three cuts of beef (RM26.90).
