Don't ever speak to me again.
I actually used to have one a week, but I'm on a health kick and haven't had any for a bout a month now.

tacos are usually smaller, more numerous, and not as many kinds of ingredients(no rice, for example).

things to avoid: refried beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole (although it has "good" fat), and any other dairy based sauces. Substitute whole beans and/or rice.
chicken, especially grilled is much better than any red meat or pork.
Sometimes burritos are just too huge too.

oh yeah and as far as i can tell the mexicans around here (60 miles north of the mexican border) like burritos too and seem to have no problem with them being "gringo" food.

yeah, same in SF. In fact, all the (primarily Central American) staff from Chipotle are to be found eating in the little taqueria on 2nd at lunch!

i'm weird actually; i don't eat burritos with my hands. i leave the thing rolled up, make one vertical slice down the center, stir in the sauce, and eat with a fork. geeta saw me do this once and she was baffled.

my current standby is Tonayense - best from the restaurant, but their roach coaches retain the same flavor.
― Shake yMo Collier, Monday, 11 July 2005 20:13 (eighteen years ago) link
I also like Baja Fresh though. I don't think the flavor is bland at all. I love the salsa bar (which could be useful if you think it's bland).

Cancun is good - I'd put it in the same strata as Pancho Villa, Zapata, Azteca, La Corneta (they're all kind of similar in approach).
what do people make of Balazo on Haight St? I've always liked it, even though it is overpriced and about as authentic as Taco Bell, they make some tasty shit.

burrito al pastor with refried beans on a flour tortilla. i like the more authentic places.
farolito is pretty good (i don't eat sour cream though). i ate at balazo once and the carne asada was almost all cartilage and gristle.
My favorite burrito thread is the hilarious one where andy calls out gringos who order burritos in spanish, that was a great thread.

Is this a sort of blue blace with candles? I think Alex took me there and I liked it.
now, baja fresh is overpriced, i'll grant you that. everything in there costs about a buck more thna it should.

the fries are usually reheated and gross
― bogo jumbo boba (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 3 September 2020 01:31 (three years ago) link
reheated not in a fryer, that is
Everyone has a different favorite and mine keeps changing. My current preference is for carnitas, refried beans, rice, lots of cheese, and tomatillo salsa, supplemented with pickled jalapeno slices and extra green salsa

Are you me?This is a good thread btw. Because burritos are good.

today i found myself sitting at my makeshift desk (a card table in the corner of a bedroom), tired and hot and stressed and wishing a hole would open up in the ceiling and that a burrito would drop into my lap.
this is a true story.
― alpine static, Friday, 4 September 2020 06:31 (three years ago) link
If a hole appeared inside your roofAnd a burrito fell through it, like POOF!And landed on your lap real hardYou'd notice it
If after you had ate your snackYou felt a violent need to crap"I really hope it's just a fart!"You'd notice it

kind of annoying when you try a new place and your burrito comes with sauce and cheese all over the outside instead of wrapped up in foil so you can eat it with your hands

I eat 1 or 2 burritos per year. I have calculated that this amounts to 0.02876704447 of a burrito per week.
