Daniel, who holds down the fort when necessary, says the regulars make Burrito Royale what it is - the people, and, of course, the food. Eating at Burrito Royale is as much about the setting as it is the traditional Mexican food. Although the eatery is small, it is not cramped. Sombreros and cacti line the walls. Three picnic tables were added recently to create an outdoor section.
More business people come in and fill seven of the eight tables.
Three people stand and wait for their food to go. During lunch, everyone sits with everyone else. Some people have even started doing business with people they've met here. Two groups sit outside and eat, both sharing plates of nachos with Route 1 traffic as the backdrop. In the back, chef Rita Azzi doesn't stop moving as she prepares five meals at once.
