Hermano's -- The Alex Burrito and a Dos Equis

To my knowledge, there are two full service, sit down Mexican restaurants in downtown Concord (Dos Amigos is more of a fast food place).

One is Margarita's, a chain located throughout New England, and the other is Hermano's....which is not a chain located throughout England.

Should it be a chain located throughout New England though? After the meal pictured here, I would have no issues with answering yes to that.

And that meal was an Alex Burrito, described by Hermano's website as "a combination of black bean veggie burger, refried beans, tomatoes, scallions, green chilies and cheese rolled in a whole wheat tortilla and topped with our red chile sauce and sprinkled with cilantro." I describe it as a filling and savory meal that goes well with a beer.

And don't think for a second that it's some tiny Taco Bell-esque burrito either, this thing is hefty, it's more than certainly a meal. Is it hefty enough to warrant the price? That's a better question. Depends on how much you want a burrito and whether you're interested in live music and an authentic Mexican feel, the building literally looks like they plopped it from a small village in Oaxaca and put it in downtown Concord, and the interior has a similiar feel as well.

On its own merit though, I would have felt better if this burrito were a dollar or two less.

The choice is in your hands my friends. But if you do decide to take the plunge and money isn't an object, you'll leave satisfied.
