An Italian restaurant usually isn’t the first thought you have when you’re craving burritos.
Get used to the idea though, thanks to a new restaurant opening in Uptown Dallas that serves a gourmet Mexican and Italian fusion cuisine.
Burrito Bellas comes from Shawn Horne, a longtime veteran of Dallas' restaurant scene who’s also opened fine-dining spots like Star Canyon, Aquaknox, and the Green Room.
Horne told CultureMap Dallas, “Mexican and Italian are the two highest-selling cuisines in Uptown — Mexican is No. 1 and Italian is No. 2 — so I jammed them together.”
At Burrito Bellas you can get Mexican-style burritos filled with fajitas; barbacoa with rice & beans; and a vegetarian papas, with potatoes, refried beans, and guacamole, as well as Italian-flavored burritos, that include chicken parm burritos, and sausage & peppers with onions, marinara, and Calabrian pepper paste.
Burrito Bellas is now open at 2523 McKinney Ave.
