When the Shop Tart needs a quick, healthy and abso-flippin-lutely delicious lunch, she heads to El Burrito for their award winning salad with chicken. As you may know, the Shop Tart is a salad junkie. She’s also a big eater, so the salad must have a lot more going on than lettuce. Meat, cheese and lots of colorful veggies make a salad a real meal. El Burrito piles it high with fresh tomatoes, tender shredded chicken and mozzarella, fresh herbs and owner Suzi Sheffied’s own amazing vinaigrette.

Chicken Salad at El Burrito

You can eat inside at the old-fashioned lunch counter, where you can read the Free Times or watch the talented staff prepare meals. El Burrito is located in a former Huddle House - how cool is that? The Shop Tart is a hug fan of making old structures new again. If the weather’s nice - which it almost always is in Columbia - you can eat outside, on a covered porch. The Shop Tart loves the decor and the people watching. Everyone - from fancy business people to lowly bloggers - loves El Burrito.

El Burrito is a great place for dinner, too (yes, they do have beer and wine!) Tonight, if you didn’t manage to score sold-out tickets to the Slow Foods Benefit Dinner at Terra, why not console yourself with burritos, bluegrass and beer on the back porch at El Burrito (ooh! Alliteration!) Late Spring through early Fall, they have bluegrass behind the restaurant every Thursday night. Fun! The Shop Tart hopes to see you there soon!
