Swung by the food truck event at the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos for lunch the other day. I usually only stop by after going to the gym – working out justifies the eating out, right? Of course it does.
Asked what’s vegan at the We Sushi truck, the two people at the window immediately said “veggie burrito,” assorted vegetable tempura with WE dressing wrapped in sushi rice and nori for eight bucks. It’s like a giant sushi roll in the shape and size of a burrito and sliced in half instead of a bunch of pieces.
Besides the tempura veggies, there’s also avocado, cucumber and seaweed. I was only able to eat about two-thirds before I was full, and saved the rest for a little later. So good and filling. And the wait wasn’t too long either especially for being freshly made.
I’m thinking next time I try making sushi at home, they’re going to be sushi burritos instead of rolls. They just seem easier and more fun. I sushi. You sushi. We Sushi.

That looks really great — I love sushi with tempura veggies. Was it hard to bite off pieces the way sushi can be? I can never bite a piece off and have to pop the whole thing in my mouth. Come to think of it, I make salad burritos all the time with nori as the wrapper, and biting it is no problem. Maybe it depends on how fresh it is and how soft the nori has become.
Absolutely adore this concept! I could eat sushi every day if only there was more variety available, so I’m really attracted to the way that the burrito concept can seriously pack in the flavor. Plus, uber portable sushi on the go, for relatively cheap? Sign me up!
Andrea – No, it wasn’t hard to bite off pieces. But I do know what you mean, I’ve had sushi before where I had to stuff the whole piece in because I couldn’t bite it apart. I think does have to do with the nori.
Hannah – Me too, sushi is great but I’m tired of the same ol’ cucumber rolls. It’s awesome to have found a sushi burrito.
How awesome!
Love the idea of the Sushi “”Burrito” concept.
I love sushi and what a great idea of making sushi into a burrito. I am also thinking about making a sushi burrito the next time I make sushi at home. Looks great!
Whoever thought about this idea is a genius! I love burrito and I love sushi. Going to make one this weekend.
