Bang Bang Burrito

Bang Bang Burrito is known for its massive portions and Mexican-style eats featuring slow-cooked, 48-hour marinated meat and one of the world's hottest chilli peppers. 

Located in the heart of  the Annex, this late-night spot is the Oshawa transplant's first foray into downtown Toronto.

bang bang burrito torontoThe Bang Bang poutine burrito is a true glutton's feast. While you can get the fries in a box on their own, the option to order them wrapped in a burrito is a tempting indulgence that will send you right to sleep. 

It's a piping hot handful of pure carbs that could be made all the more satisfying with some ketchup or hot sauce.
