If you are going to be in San Francisco tomorrow (Saturday, May 24, 2014) you need to get yourself over to the 24th Street Papalote Mexican Grill location because for one day only they are offering a mac and cheese burrito. And we all know if you miss out on this, you will regret it.
Dubbed the Soulrrito, the culinary feat consists of a combined salsa-infused macaroni and cheese, tri tip beef, collard greens, yams and a flour tortilla (soul food indeed). The limited time only mac and cheese burrito is possible thanks to a collaboration of not just the best two foods, but also of owner Miguel Escobedo and a multitalented woman named Pam, owner of Piccadilly Catering and Restaurant.
