Back in February we reported that Morehouse professor, Matt Hinton, had successfully recreated the defunct Tortilla’s burrito and that he was delivering them all over Atlanta, including to Decatur.  People were stoked.

Now Hinton’s Facebook page reports that he has opened up a brick-and-mortor location called “Bell Street Burittos” in the Sweet Auburn Market…

For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been making burritos and delivering them for the past year and a half to supplement my meager income as an adjunct professor of Religion. The schtick of West End Burritos (as it was formerly known) was that these are burritos “for those who miss Tortillas” (“Tortillas” being the legendary burrito shop that was on Ponce from the early 80’s till the early 00’s).

Somewhere along the way, I was convinced to open a brick and mortar burrito shop in the Sweet Auburn Curb Market– one of the really great places in Atlanta to go for a variety of food and people. So, after a few months of effort, cleaning, construction, painting and setting tile, we’re finally opening. And yes, the burritos are still in the manner of Tortillas, though we’ve added our own elements as well (or anyway, we stole ideas from other people too).

According to Omnivore Atlanta, current hours are around 11a-4p with a grand opening scheduled for Thursday, September 23rd (11a-8p).
