Are you a college kid? Are burritos a staple in your diet? Do you crave guacamole, spiced meats, and sour cream like it’s your job? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then pay attention because your burrito prayers have been answered. “Good food, good people, and it’s not another pizza place,” said Reuben Bassett in an interview on Wed., Feb. 22, 2012. Bassett and his cousin Aaron Bassett are currently working to open a new Burrito M e restaurant on the corner of Main Street and Highland Street. “We’re really excited for the downtown
feel and the college community,” continued Bassett, “There’s nothing like Burrito M e around here.”
This upcoming Burrito M e is the second restaurant established by the Bassetts. The original Burrito M e has served downtown Laconia for almost two and a half years. Patrons rave about the fresh ingredients, bold flavors, welcoming atmosphere, and ability to personalize your meal. Bassett hopes to inspire this sense of customer loyalty here in Plymouth.
Everything on the menu is made to order right when you walk in. You choose your meat, veggies, rice, and whatever other fillings you want added to your burrito concoction. “We keep everything simple so we can do it good,” said Bassett.
The menu specials rotate throughout the month, and Basset says they’re always looking for a special that is unique to the Plymouth community. Basset loves to experiment with different flavors and new techniques. He encourages everyone to play around and find their own favorites.
Bassett recommends his personal favor- ite, the Chipotle Pork. This signature pork is braised in a secret blend of spices for six hours before being served. Add your fillings to it, and make it your own. “Some people just want rice and beans, some just want guacamole. It’s nice to be able to get what you want and not wait long,” said Bassett.
In addition to burritos, Burrito M e will also serve made to order quesadillas, tacos, and salads. If you’re looking for a vegetarian or vegan option, look no further. The flexibility of the Burrito M e menu adheres to most dietary needs, including gluten- free and lactose-free options.
Burrito Me is currently hiring. Bassett says they are looking for both part-time college students as well as a few full-time staff positions. Anyone interested should email a resume to jobs@burritome.com. Like Burrito M e on Facebook to follow updates on the opening schedule, specials, and great deals.
Burrito Me plans to open in Mid March. They expect to be open seven days a week between 11 am and 8 pm, but will adjust their hours according to demand. Look for more details in the upcoming weeks.
