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.

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.

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

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

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)

trayce there is an outstanding mexican place in barkly st - 'bluecorn'. if everything you know about mexican food is old el paso and taco bill you're in for a spectacularly nice surprise.

(as was the case with me)

I've had mexican at Mexicali Rose, and I'm told its meant to be one of the best/most authentic mexican places in Melb, if not the country (perhaps hyperbole, I dunno heh). It was nice food! I do like mexican, but gimme good rustic italian any day.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 8 August 2005 05:34 (twenty years ago)

i come home to italian food: she's my wife. she always knows how to soothe me. mexican food is my hot-tempered mistress. sometimes she gets violent and hurts me...but i like it.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 8 August 2005 07:53 (twenty years ago)

Just to bring the average down, 0.

I like the concept but I don't agree with the ratings at all!

It's like the Pitchfork of burritos.

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

Not that I was the first one to make this analogy or anything, but this also occurred to me, especially when I was searching like crazy for a can of refried beans at Sainsbury's amidst dozens of jars of curries and packages of naan.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

having had a great deal of experience with the two in recent months i can safely say that i strongly prefer california tortilla co. to baja fresh

ct has more choices and doesn't try to overfeed you--there are a few things you can order that aren't supersized...everything at bf is more of a hearty meal

unfortunately bf is the one near my work

three weeks pass...

My weekly burrito consumption might increase in the near future. There's a new Meixcan foodtruck at 16th & Callowhill in Philadelphia (right near a major INS office). I had a feeling they were going to have good food, and I was right. (Only thing: I shouldn't really be eating cheese, but I can maybe hold the dairy stuff in the future.) I had a wonderful sweet potato & black bean burrito. My experience with Mexican food is pretty limited, but I'm guessing this might be the most authentic that I've eaten.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Thursday, 1 September 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

I ate at burritoville twice while in NY. No POY BOMBX though...

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Thursday, 1 September 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

i was going to restart this thread today, too. burritos can have a calming effect.

2 this week, so far. i can always contribute to this thread.

Crazy shit going down about shit not going down!

― Poo Poo Wheelie, Thursday, 1 September 2005 19:04 (twenty years ago)

what things are you getting with cheese? i'm under the impression that putting cheese in everything isn't authentic. [note to fuckheads: i'm not saying authentic is better]

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 1 September 2005 19:52 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm, well maybe it's no so authentic. So there cheese is there to fatten Americans and clog their sinuses? (Not that cheese has no benefits.) It looks like everything on the menu automatically comes with cheese except the enchiladas, I think. I have to say though that the burrito wasn't as smothered in cheese as some I've had. It also wasn't soggy like some I've gotten.

there's no beans or rice so you purists can call it a "wrap" if you have to

― renegade bus (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 22:05 (twenty years ago)

that looks very good

― rainy (rainy), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 22:10 (twenty years ago)

note my pink flannel bedsheet underneath the plate!

― renegade bus (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 22:14 (twenty years ago)

eating in bed = hideous pleasure

― rainy (rainy), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 22:15 (twenty years ago)

and how.

― renegade bus (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 22:19 (twenty years ago)

no sauce?

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 22:22 (twenty years ago)

there's hot sauce on there.

― renegade bus (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 22:24 (twenty years ago)

ingredients:

grilled chicken
chorizo
corn
poblano peppers
jack cheese
cilantro
cayenne pepper
s/p
hot sauce

― renegade bus (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

I had another sweet potato/black bean burrito today (minus the cheese, alas). The burrito truck lady seemed surprised I like the sweet potato burrito, but she may have just been making conversation.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 22:31 (twenty years ago)

oh is that it there, glistening?.
sounds incredible.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

sweet potato/black bean sounds like a good combination -- i don't usually like sweet potatoes but i think the beans would temper the sweetness really nicely.

― renegade bus (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 22:36 (twenty years ago)

i worry about yr bed sheets, i don't think that paper plate can handle that burrito!

this week's count for me so far: 1

― ai lien (kold_krush), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 23:54 (twenty years ago)

i doubled up on the plates. the sheet survived.

― renegade bus (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 00:29 (twenty years ago)

like i said, i don't normally eat burritos more than once a month or once every couple of months -- they exist in a weird space between being too much food for lunch and not quite enough food for dinner (although some places make super-gigantic ones that are perfect for sharing with someone).

― renegade bus (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 00:33 (twenty years ago)

holy crap there's a new burrito cart near my office. HOLLA.

Qdoba vs Panera -- when franchises fight!

Is a burrito a sandwich? The Panera Bread Co. bakery-and-cafe chain says yes. But a judge said no, ruling against Panera in its bid to prevent a Mexican restaurant from moving into the same shopping mall.

[...]

Among them was Cambridge chef Chris Schlesinger, who said in an affidavit: "I know of no chef or culinary historian who would call a burrito a sandwich. Indeed, the notion would be absurd to any credible chef or culinary historian."

I've recently been enjoying Wahoo's Banzai Burrito with Polynesian Shrimp (no beans please). Amazing.

― I.M. From Hollywood (i_m_from_hollywood), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 07:11 (nineteen years ago)

two bean + cheese burritos w/ sour cream and shitloads of guac three-four nights a week for past two months. delicious every time

I have a burrito about once a year at Glastonbury! It costs a million pounds and is never as good as I think it will be, see also ostrich burgz0rs chiz. Stick to the CURRY GOAT and tartiflette and you will be alright.

If I are making Mexican food at home ("chilli" doesn't count, even if you squirt some lime on it, right?) I make TACOS, which is chilli inside a strange large bendy crisp with some cheese on it. You can also have FAJITAS which involve peppers and WRAPS.

I think - in 2000?? - I went to a Mexican restaurant in Camden. I had a burger and got food poisoning.

I have, however, learnt from VERONICA MARS that when you go to "Tijuana", you call it "Tee Jay"! But she didn't say anything about burritos. I'm sorry.

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 09:01 (nineteen years ago)

I mean come on, it's a step up from my previous knowledge about Tijuana is that "it goes Tamla". Or, vice versa.

salad burrito: classic or misguided hippie utopianism?

― get bent, Thursday, 7 February 2008 23:10 (eighteen years ago)

i have feta cheese and hummus as the binding agents, croutons as the internal starch, lavash as the tortilla.

― get bent, Thursday, 7 February 2008 23:12 (eighteen years ago)

my girl just bought a george foreman grill. can i make burritos in those?
