Beat The Baltic Weather With a Burrito From Pablo Picante
Beat The Baltic Weather With a Burrito From Pablo Picante
It’s flipping freezing out there, lads.
The chill in the air is cutting right through us to the bone. Sure, you wouldn’t be long getting frostbit in these conditions, but Just Eat and Pablo Picante have the answer to save your tootsies from an icy demise. We even have a discount code to make things even hotter.
We’re all desperately trying to stay warm. Cranking up the heating. Throwing on extra layers, maybe even that ugly woolly jumper your granny knitted you for Christmas 2007. Strapping dozens of hot water bottles to ourselves to create a kind of hot and undulating boiler suit. If you’ve been trying these methods, then good luck, but I have to tell you, you’re going about it all wrong.
The best way to beat the cold is this simple two-step plan, ‘scientifically proven’ to cure the chill.
Step One: take a cosy, soft, warm blanket and wrap yourself up tight like a burrito.
Step Two: eat a burrito.
You don’t even have to venture out into the icy tundra to get your fix. Just Eat can get a warm, comforting burrito to your front door in no time. Pablo Picante is our go-to. It’s right there in the name: picante means spicy. Spicy means hot. Hot means you get to stave off hypothermia for a little bit longer.
Why Burritos Are Supreme
They’re the ultimate in convenient comfort foods. You can get all your food groups in one bite, a godsend when it’s so cold you can barely muster the energy to lift your hand to your mouth for a solid chomp. In no time, that hearty boost of protein, carbs and veg will start converting into energy and warmth.
You’re getting the good stuff at Pablo’s too. Everything is prepared fresh daily, and nothing is ever frozen, unlike your fingers and toes right now.
Customisable
The burritos here are well designed and nicely balanced, but there are no rules about how you take your burrito. You can easily tailor your order to suit your taste, including adding loads of spicy accoutrements like hot salsa and jalapeños to really light a fire in your belly and get yourself defrosted.
Comforting
That mix of cheese, beans, juicy meat, rice and a soft toasted tortilla is the ultimate pure comfort food. Whenever you need cheering up, let a tortilla dry your tears. If you’re hungover, a burrito can cure what ails you. If you’re utterly famished, a burrito will be the filling answer to your rumbling troubles.
What to Order from Pablo Picante?
Pablo Picante has been a trailblazer in the Dublin burrito scene since it opened in 2010, bringing a real Mexicali vibe to the city. They don’t just serve burritos. They also offer others dishes across their locations that you might expect to find at a Mexican spot in Baja California, including quesadillas and bowls.
Cali Carnitas
They have several utterly delicious and varied burritos on the menu to choose from, but the Carnitas is one of the most popular. It is a true crowd-pleaser and an authentic burst of flavour, with slow-cooked pork, fluffy long-grain rice, black beans, grated cheese and freshly made salsa. You can choose your spice level. The hotter you go, the less cold you will feel.
Quesadilla
Burritos aren’t for everyone. Maybe you’re not too hungry, or maybe you just prefer your lunch to be flat (shoutout to the flatearthers, this one is for you). The quesadilla is another super customisable and tidier way to enjoy your favourite fillings.
Paleo Bowl
If you’re too hungry to bother biting through the tortilla and want to dig straight into the action, then a box might be for you. The Paleo Bowl is piled high with steak, chilli and cacao, sprinkled over a bed of raw spinach and rocket, with a bit of punchy, creamy feta in the mix too.
The cold snap is begging for a proper feed, so get yourself something sustaining from Pablo Picante to fire up your insides. Naturally, it’s a great option no matter the weather, but in this climate, it is absolutely essential.
Your Tasty Discount
If you want to put the theory to the test and get a burrito yourself go ahead and be sure to use your spicy discount. The first 150 people to use code PABLO15 between now and midnight November 30 will get €15 off a minimum spend of €20 at any Just Eat partner restaurant.
