most of the mex places here do, except for the more high-end restaurants that specialize in seafood.

Oh yes. The AZ/TX divide. It's probably all in how the Mexican immigrants from the two states came from different parts of Mexico. Which is why CA Mexican food tasted very weird to me when I first had it (which is putting it lightly), and why I suspect NM Mexican food would taste more familiar to me.

Most of these local places, BTW, have a special section in their menus for nachos, though they're not the type with the fakey orange melted cheese-type topping (which I do like, actually). Most of these variations of nachos also include beans, BTW. I don't know why; that's just how things are, apparently. Hm.

There were some good burritos to be had in Redding — grilled chicken and roasted green chili at Senor Rosas, and spicy shrimp at La Cabana. Nothing here that I don't make myself.

on troubled days such as these, only burritos will provide us enough solace or surcease of sorrow

If you make them with kitty cat meat you can call them PURRITOS.

English burritos you eat in the rain:

BURBERRYTOS

― nickn (nickn), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 23:02 (twenty years ago)

Usually 2 per week, very different from one another. I had a chicken burrito from someplace near my work yesterday and a really good one at La Cabanita last Saturday night. I may go for another one Friday night or Saturday or Sunday...down in San Diego. Sure would like to find a nice mole burrito someplace near 90026.

three weeks pass...

the local burrito purveyors now recognize me. is this a good thing?

― kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:12 (twenty years ago)

That depends, do they recognize you as "EL CHINGO MAS GORDO"?

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

well, i asked them, and all the counter girls said they just called me "Senor Pene Mas Grande."

They wouldn't tell me why, tho, or what that means. I hope they're not insulting me.

― kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:34 (twenty years ago)

I just moved to San Diego from DC and I'm eating between 3 and 6 burritos every week.
Usually lobster burritos at El Zarape.
I also have In N Out like twice a week.
Incidentally, I have put on 145lbs since moving here.

Do you usually eat burritos while grieving, kingfish?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

I had a burrito last night for dinner and regretted it. Bleurgh.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 5 August 2005 17:39 (twenty years ago)

I rarely eat burritos - something about the big ol' flour tortilla just doesn't work for me.

BURRITO NIGHT 2NITE

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Friday, 5 August 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

My lunch today will be a frozen burrito and a can of Red Bull.

One day, in a hospital bed, I'll wonder if it was all worth it.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 5 August 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

I was watching LOST the other night thinking how, if I was stranded on that island, by day 30 I'd be wrapping raw, whole fishes in palm fronds and calling them "burritos". And puking all over Hurley's FUPA.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 5 August 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

kingfish i think what they're doing is like when you call a fat guy "slim". ZING etc

I have never eaten a burrito. Is there something wrong with me?

― Stan Fields (Stan Fields), Friday, 5 August 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

yes.

unequivocably.

― kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 5 August 2005 23:00 (twenty years ago)

Never even had a taco...
Only been to Taco Bell once. Only went to the drive-thru. Only got fries.

These are obviously things that I need to change.

― Stan Fields (Stan Fields), Friday, 5 August 2005 23:16 (twenty years ago)

What the fuck, Stan! That's enough to make anyone with a taste bud cry. You poor kid.

― Truckdrivin' Buddha (Rock Hardy), Saturday, 6 August 2005 00:31 (twenty years ago)

you can get fries at taco bell?

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Saturday, 6 August 2005 01:23 (twenty years ago)

ones in canada, yes.

loco burrito on graham: sunday and monday

― hstencil (hstencil), Saturday, 6 August 2005 01:25 (twenty years ago)

don't make your first mexican food experience a taco bell visit, please.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Saturday, 6 August 2005 02:55 (twenty years ago)

indeed; make sure it involves flautas, too

― kingfish (Kingfish), Saturday, 6 August 2005 08:21 (twenty years ago)

I don't see it ending any time soon either, this lack of Mexican food consumption. I'll likely die never knowing what tortilla-based foods could have contributed to my pathetic existence.

― Stan Fields (Stan Fields), Saturday, 6 August 2005 14:41 (twenty years ago)

Where do you live, Siberia, Antarctica, North Korea?

I dont think many australians eat burritos either fwiw, sure we have some mexican places but nothing much - seems you guys eat mexican like we eat chinese or greek souvlaki takeaways.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 7 August 2005 23:13 (twenty years ago)

update/correction: make it four times this week. four.

― ai lien (kold_krush), Monday, 8 August 2005 00:14 (twenty years ago)

Mexican food : the U.S. :: Indian food : the U.K.

If you can understand that analogy, Trayce, you're in.

― The Edge Of America (Dee the Lurker), Monday, 8 August 2005 01:24 (twenty years ago)

we eat chinese like crazy too!
i pity anyone who has never had good mexican. best cuisine in the world.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 8 August 2005 05:05 (twenty years ago)

Only, I dont like chilli ;P I've told you this too! =)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 8 August 2005 05:15 (twenty years ago)
