Best Bite For Your Buck: Tomate Fresh Kitchen

You may think “tomayto, tomahto” when deciding which restaurant will have the best reasonably priced burritos, but you should be thinking: “Tomate.”

The wonderfully welcoming mouthfuls of Tomate Fresh Kitchen will leave you satisfied and happy in a way a Chipotle chain could never.

From farmers’ markets — and now a destination on Noyes Street right across from the CTA station — the kitchen has worked to fill the burrito-loving hearts of Evanston residents. Tomate uses fresh, local ingredients to bring authentic Latin food to the Evanston area. The restaurant, popular throughout the city for its perfect blend of flavors and satisfactory servings, seems to have an everlasting hold on this community.

Whether you’re craving pork al pastor or a chiles relleno burrito, this is the perfect place to grab a bite before or after an adventurous train ride into Chicago.

Tomate is a must-try. Since freshman year, I have been hooked on the $8 carne asada burrito paired with their refreshing guacamole. It’s a kick that I just can’t kick.

If you haven’t already, briskly bolt for a bite of these banging burritos.
