January is the month of fresh starts, new gym memberships, and a renewed focus on what we put into our bodies. But at El Mex Burrito Bar, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between "fast" and "fuel."
If you are looking to kickstart your year with zero regrets and maximum flavour, it’s time to meet your new best friend: The Naked Burrito Bowl.

What is a "Naked" Burrito Bowl?
Essentially, it is everything you love about our world-class burritos, minus the flour tortilla. By stripping away the wrap, we create a gluten-free, low-carb base that lets our fresh, high-quality ingredients shine. It is the perfect solution for those tracking macros, following a clean eating plan, hitting the gym, or simply looking for a lighter, more vibrant lunch.
The Power of Customisation: High Protein & Vegetarian Fuel
We don’t believe in "one size fits all" nutrition. Your body has unique needs, which is why our bowls are 100% customisable. Whether you are a meat-lover or a dedicated vegetarian, we’ve made it easier than ever to build a high-protein masterpiece.

For the Meat-Lovers:
Our grilled chicken and slow-cooked shredded beef are packed with lean protein to aid muscle recovery after those January workouts. According to the British Nutrition Foundation, protein is essential for muscle repair and keeping you feeling sated.
For the Vegetarians:
Who says plants can't pack a punch? Our signature Mex-beans and black beans are nutritional powerhouses. Not only are they high in plant-based protein, but they are also loaded with calcium and iron, making them a fantastic alternative to dairy and meat.
The Health Benefits: More Than Just a Meal
Every ingredient in our bowls is chosen for its flavour profile and nutritional density. When you build a bowl, you are building a healthier you:
Digestive Health: Our beans and brown rice options are bursting with fibre. High-fibre diets are officially recommended by the NHS to improve digestion and long-term health.
Immune Support: We mix in a generous portion of sautéed peppers and onions. These are rich in Vitamin C, giving your immune system the boost it needs during the cold winter months.
Heart-Healthy Fats: Our Guacamole is a source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Check out our Don Churro page if you want to see how we pair our fresh approach with sweet treats!
The Antioxidant Kick: Our fresh salsas, made with vine-ripened tomatoes and coriander, provide a hit of antioxidants to help fight inflammation.
Fast Food, Refined
We strive to be the brand you trust when that fast-food craving hits. With our Self-Order Kiosks and Click & Collect service, you can have a chef-prepared, nutrient-dense meal in your hands in minutes. We strive to be the brand you trust when that fast-food craving hits.
Forget the "January Blues" and the frozen fingers—warm up from the inside out with a bowl that fuels your body and satisfies your soul.
