Barnacles in Galway

11/02/2026: I'm an American recently moved to Galway, trying to find one decent burrito in all of Ireland. My quest brought me to try Zinc's Burrito Blasta. I am a vegetarian, so I got the veg and halloumi burrito, which I know is not exactly a strict, traditional choice. Ingredients: Halloumi -- Good, but maybe could've been seasoned/marinated with something. Rice -- Good. Veg -- Huge chunks, not much taste, not my favourite. Beans -- Worst part and negatively impacted the whole burrito. This was like a bean soup, and not seasoned with any of the correct spices. Remove a lot of the liquid and add more chili, cumin, and oregano. Or, just offer refried beans as an alternative option. Lettuce, Sour Cream, Shredded Cheese -- Normal; can't really mess this up. Pickled Jalapeños -- Good, a bit of heat. Hot Habanero Salsa -- Very good. I would not call this "very hot" by the standards I'm used to, but I was satisfied with it and it had good flavour. Best part of the burrito. Flour Tortilla Wrap -- Fine, but wasn't wrapped correctly (needs to be tighter or the burrito will unravel). Tortilla Chips (Crisps?) -- Good, and included with order, but didn't come with any extra salsa to dip them. There was an option to add "crunch" to the burrito, which is a mixture of crispy onion, chip bits, and pumpkin seeds. The first two sound good, but why pumpkin seeds? (I did not try this.) For the same price, it is a much better burrito than An Bialann's veg burrito offering. I would guess the meat options are likely better. Could've been pretty good if they changed the style of the beans, but alas. My search continues.
