Daddy Donkey is a burrito stall which can be found on Leather Lane Market weekday lunchtimes and, apparently muddy fields at Glastonbury, Reading, etc festivals. From a custom van (sadly not like that of B A Baracus) they sell burritos and .. actually just burritos.
A five pound note and a wait of as many minutes (queues permitting) gets you a burro (with black beans) or fajita burrito (with fried onions and peppers) with chilli or freshly grilled beef of chicken (a veggie option with beans, onions and peppers is slightly cheaper), rice, salsa (mild, medium or hot) and cheese or sour cream wrapped in a big tortilla. Optional extras are roasted chillies (sometimes mouth-burning but always tasty) at 25p, and more of any of the above at 50p or a pound.
The result is reliably delicious. All the ingredients are as fresh as one could wish for, the hot salsa (I have never tried anything else) included and the meat grilled before your eyes. The portions, initially a bit mean, are now just the right size for a filling lunch.
The only downsides are that these confections do not hold their heat all that well (though they're fine to eat luke-warm, and a delivery service may be the next development) and that it takes some while to master eating them without getting sauce and bits of rice and meat everywhere.
