Med Mex Burrito
Inspired by one of the biggest fast-casual success stories in the US (Chipotle), two partners and friends set up two years ago, JLeo's (Galileo Street, 17) . It was about bringing the **DIY (Do It Yourself) ** philosophy to a meal that was fast and economical and not for that reason lose in quality. And after the success, they open a new place still in Chamberí.
The idea was to unite the gastronomy of Lower California, that is, tacos and burritos, with ingredients closer to us: Mediterranean. A merger they called Med-Mex and that pairs perfectly.
Fast Good.
They spent time finding the recipes they wanted, with professional chefs. Meat stews that would go inside those tortillas, unique sauces that they make every day and always, always with fresh products.
“At Jleo's one of our pillars is the freshness of our raw material”, says José Trillo, one of the partners, the J of Jleo's. "So we buy our meat directly from farmers, to ensure that they have been raised in freedom (out of cages) and have been fed with natural, unadulterated feed."
DIY tacos.
The Chicken Pio Pio It is free-range breast that macerates for hours and vacuum packs. The pig lineage It is a rib that is also macerated for hours in its secret sauce and then cooked at a low temperature “many hours”. It's like a very juicy pibil pig . Its somewhat spicy beef stew due to its chipotle sauce has a smoked bacon sauce, 100% Iberian mincemeat.
To these meats you can add vegetables that are grilled daily, beans (not from a can), your own recipe mediterranized pico de gallo, its very light sour sauce, more similar to the also Mediterranean saltziki, and the guacamole, the extra, which is made with fresh avocados every day.
WHY GO
Because it is another way to eat quickly and cheaply and know very well what you are eating. Because it is also the perfect “Take a Güey”, to take away or have it delivered to you.
