Located between Flamingo & Harrahs Casinos

Visited May 15^th, 2022

As I think you’ve probably noticed by now, I’m not usually one to write a review of a casual fast-food spot, but this was an interesting meal that I felt like I needed to share (and now will open up a whole new section for the blog). My friend John & I were in Las Vegas and wanted to have an un-fancy dinner. Read: we were headed to a show and then to do some gambling and wanted a quick, but substantial / relatively healthy meal. 

Since we were already out on the strip, we walked past a few spots and saw JaBurritos, located near the Flamingo. It said Sushi Burritos, and since we both love sushi, we couldn’t resist a peek inside.

Walking in- it’s essentially a fast-food style sushi burrito place. It’s a standard fast food industrial look, similar to what you see at Chipotle. You walk up to the counter, select from the menu and they make it there for you right away. Unlike Chipotle though, you don’t get to customize each ingredient, but rather just order from the set menu and get things a-la carte. 

The menu is interesting, with quite a few different choices, including a-la carte options for miso soup, edamame, and chips and cheese (that’s a curious one for the menu).

I chose the Venice burrito, which is their sole tofu option and ordered a side of edamame with a hot jasmine tea. Everything comes in to-go packaging, even if you’re eating in (I think for convenience)

The edamame was nicely cooked and had a lot of salt sprinkled on the top (as you can see). I would’ve preferred a bit less salt, but honestly because it’s Vegas and I was drinking during the weekend, my body was likely thankful for the electrolytes. I ate them all

The burrito itself was Delicious (notice the capital ‘D’)?! I was surprised, as my expectations were low. The tofu was nice and fresh, there was corn, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumbers, black beans, and pico de gallo. There was a tiny piece of avocado as well, which was the only thing I wished there was a bit more of. It was wrapped in nigiri seaweed and held together while I ate it. 

I have found myself thinking of this little sushi burrito from time to time and will definitely stop back in to get it if I find myself in need of a fast food while in Las Vegas again!
