Downtown Charleston diners have felt a hole in their limited culinary universe ever since some down-on-his–luck fellow lit a light to find his way through the building in which he was squatting — and promptly burned out Delish restaurant on MacFarland Avenue. But you can’t keep Virgil “If you can’t go big, go home” Sadorra down for long. He re-opened yesterday as the new Tex-Mex fast-food wjoint Cilantros at 110 McFarland St. Click here for a gazzTV video report on the insides of the place.

And for the cranky poster who complained a few posts ago that this foodblog doesn’t give addresses to places mentioned (oh, but we do), there’s the address for you but here’s a nice Google map link to the place.

But we warn you, getting your hands on a spicy bean and cheese burrito with peach salsa may be hard at peak hours. The place seems narrower and less spacious than the old Delish (and, of course, the next door room that used to sell raps was atomized). Two co-workers returned burrito-less after encountering a line snaking to the door of the place today. But persevere. A good burrito is hard to find and the fixin’s are all in place on McFarland.
