I tried Bab Haus Mex at Newport Market and things got messy
When the burrito arrived at my table, I was impressed with its size.
The burrito was large. (Image: Newsquest) Before I stuck my teeth into it, I could already tell it was filled to the brim and that it was going to leave me feeling full and satisfied.
And I was correct, because inside the burrito I found a ton of meat along with well-cooked rice and a bit of a punch from the chillies.
Indeed, it was spicy and if your someone who sweats easily, I would recommend ordering something milder from the menu.
But for my personal tastebuds it had the perfect level of heat, and I thoroughly enjoyed chomping through the Mexican parcel of goodness.
There was plenty of meat and spices in the burrito. (Image: Newsquest) However, with a big burrito comes big responsibility, and as I continued to tackle my lunch, it began to fall apart in my hands.
I had not been given a tissue, so my hands were in a sticky state as I did my best to finish the remainder of the burrito before the sauce leaked all over the table.
It probably was quite unsightly to see a grown man eat in such a primitive way, yet the burrito left me no choice.
Regardless, my selection from the Bab Haus Mex menu turned out to be a tasty one which is why I would give it a score of five out of five.
We visited Bab Haus at Newport Market. (Image: Newsquest) I paid £11.28 for my burrito, including service charge, which isn't the cheapest lunch in the world.
Still, in this cost-of-living, inflation crisis, it's not easy to get a satisfying meal for under £10 when you're eating out.
As for Newport Market itself, there are plenty of seats and its structure is perfect for a summer day.
There are a range of cuisines to choose from. (Image: Newsquest) If you don't fancy Mexican food there are plenty of other cuisines to choose from and if you would prefer an ice-cold beverage, there's craft beer, soft drinks and cocktails on offer at the bar.

Old Cross Inn thriving but Ammanford not better, says owner
Tim Phillips and his partner Charlotte Hussell took over the Old Cross Inn on Quay Street over a year ago. Despite a quiet start to the year, the pub has become busier in the last few months. Tim and Charlotte have run the pub for a year and two months. (Image: File photo) Tim said: 'Things are going really well now, even though there is nothing to bring people to Ammanford after six o'clock. 'We've been working hard, and it's been an unbelievable couple of months. But the town itself hasn't got better. Things have improved because of better weather and longer nights. 'But the town still needs more investment. It's all well and good putting new chairs and fences in to make it look more attractive but there's nothing for business. 'Sunday can sometimes be quiet though as a lot of people travel to our pub from outside the town. But when there are no buses running it's made things more difficult.' Tim has reiterated the need for investment in Ammanford. (Image: File photo) In April, it was one year since Tim and Charlotte first took over Old Cross Inn and they had a party to celebrate their milestone. The couple previously ran a pub when they lived in Northampton. Tim continued: 'When we were in Northampton it was a different experience. It was a community pub with more families, and we were able to host more events due to not being based in the centre of town. 'I have run hotels so running a pub is a small operation for me. But there is more of a personal touch required with customers and both me and Charlotte are very hands on. 'We have a fantastic group of locals who support us here, and we got a lot of new business during the day. 'There are some new businesses and we've been having a chat with them about what can be done to increase footfall and things that are going to bring people in.' Tim also revealed steak has been added to the pub's menu and street food is served every other Saturday, with a recent Mexican edition proving to be popular with locals. 'We are also planning to start hosting a regular darts tournament every Sunday. Things have definitely picked up. 'We can now rent the pub out for parties. For £75 you can hire the whole pub, and this comes with a basic buffet.' Old Cross Inn has 22 reviews on Facebook and a recommendation ratio of 92%.

I tried Bab Haus Mex at Newport Market and things got messy
After scouting the premises for a street food stall worthy of my judgement, I made the curious decision of ordering a Beef Brisket Chilli Burrito from Bab Haus Mex for lunch.
