Hot Beans

When my vegan friends told me they had found a burrito place that was better than Burrito Boys, I thought "suuure, better than Burrito Boys, because it uses TVP (texturized vegetable protein)." At the same time, I know my vegan friends like good food as well, so I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and made my way to Kensington market to give it a try.

I tried their TVP burrito and I have to say that, yes, it actually is better than Burrito Boys .
What makes it good is indeed the TVP. Its texture makes it nice and meaty but not overpowering, as real meat would be. This allows the burrito to be filled to the brim with pieces of TVP, covered in a really tasty sauce that never gets tiring to eat.

As well as their basic TVP, bean or Seitan burritos, Hot Beans also has a bunch of off-menu items, such as their breakfast burritos. I will have to investigate further .
