who cares about authenticity?

if you mean chorizo, then yes. if you mean cock, then no not really.

Moe's is pretty good and it's a yuppie chain. It has like 6 different kinds of salsa, including the tomatilla one which is my favorite.

I meant Polish sausages.

Didn't you eat at Cancun with Alex, gygax and me?

Or did you just sit and drink your Sparks?

― Nevada Lime (nordicskilla), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:32 (twenty years ago)

who cares about authenticity?

well, i wasn't referring to you, actually, but just as a follow-up to the snootiness mentioned upthread about burrito chains...

Apples & Oranges

Apples & Fried Apples

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:34 (twenty years ago)

it has nothing to do with burritos, I just find it funny.

xp I don't know, but that has to be one of the biggest mistakes you've ever made

― Nevada Lime (nordicskilla), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:34 (twenty years ago)

I couldn't give less of a shit about 'authentic' though I do tend to like the places with the crazy Mexican meat choices, like tongue and whatnot. Balazo is OK. The El Faro down the street from work isn't great but it'll do as a workday lunch place. Every taqueria has it's own best and worst items, and eventually you can learn what not order in one is precisely why you go to another. I'm jonesing for tamales right now.

Apples & Fried Apples Touché

As I've said before, I will even eat at Chevy's on a road trip if it means avoiding burger chains.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:36 (twenty years ago)

polish sausage is ok. brats (grilled directly then cooked in beer and onions) are better.

there may be some snootiness, but i don't think it's unfounded in this case. most every chain burrito/mex place i've been to has been shit. there have been many non-chain places that are also shit, but at least there's the chance to find one that isn't.

Taco Bell: Classic or Dud? (1 matching message)
baja fresh is over-rated.
started by some thousand oaks church lady.
and eff poquito mas while you're at it. safe/"fresh"/bland suburban mexican food = no fun.

-- gygax! (gygax0...), May 8th, 2003.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:39 (twenty years ago)

I wonder if I could get a chicken, dumplings and fried okra burrito around here...

Rock Hardy, where in the Bell South are you? I could go for chicken and dumplings and fried okra about now, but not in burrito form.

I'm more into tortas these days anyway, since I saw a show about them on PBS and all the taquerias around me sell them.

Chipotle's tortillas alone have about half an average adult's alotment of fat and calories. FYI!

― pullapartgirl (pullapartgirl), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:39 (twenty years ago)

I am surprised I am the lone Tonayense loyalist! weird.

Rubio's makes great fish tacos.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 11 July 2005 20:40 (twenty years ago)

Oh I am confusing Rubio's and Baja Fresh.

― Nevada Lime (nordicskilla), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:40 (twenty years ago)

It could be worse.

― Nevada Lime (nordicskilla), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)

If I lived in Santa Cruz, I'd eat at Jalapenos every day - maximum burrito consumption.

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)

Rubio's is a San Diego fish taco stand that franchised over the SW a few years ago.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:42 (twenty years ago)

The phrase "FOIL SHIZZLE" appears on the Chipotle website.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:43 (twenty years ago)

Is Rubio's any good?

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:44 (twenty years ago)

i'm gonna get me some rubio's for dinner tonight.

― president carter loves repetition (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:44 (twenty years ago)

Is Rubio's any good?

these things tend to vary from store to store, but the one near me is great.

― president carter loves repetition (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

I eat at Rubio's often because there's one across the street from my work. The fish taco's are good.

Not a burrito, and the version I had on Saturday was with lobster, but a fine, fine 'wrap':

I work next to a Chipotle, but I never go in.

― Nevada Lime (nordicskilla), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:47 (twenty years ago)

I had heard this too, but according to one independent website, it's not the case: http://www.dietfacts.com/html/items/17882.htm

This is where I typically go for my faux-Mexican food fix:

are you one of those Christian sandwich-board carrying guys at Union Square? Fallen fallen is Babylon the great, she who has made the nations of the world drink of the wine of her fornications...

I live in LA for starters, I don't get the rest of that!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

The building directly to the right of that taqueria is the video store I go to.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:51 (twenty years ago)

Such a great line. BTW, Babylon, darling, if you keep drinking all that fornicatin' wine, of course you're gonna fall over, ya silly douche.

I recommend the SUPER NACHOS if you're not in a burrito mood.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:54 (twenty years ago)

oops to thread about how only GRINGOS eat SUPER NACHOS.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:54 (twenty years ago)

pullapartgirl, I'm in Am0ry, MS, about 30 miles south of Tupel0 -- NE part of the state.

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:55 (twenty years ago)

"Pardon me, but these SUPER NACHOS are far from authentic!"

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:57 (twenty years ago)

I only eat the raw flesh of animals I've killed myself - everything else is BLAND and mediated. I also kill my own salsa.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 11 July 2005 21:00 (twenty years ago)

FYI - Baja Fresh's tortas are horrible. Avoid.

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Monday, 11 July 2005 21:01 (twenty years ago)

I squeeze my sour cream from a sour cow.

― Nevada Lime (nordicskilla), Monday, 11 July 2005 21:01 (twenty years ago)

not enough of these joints serve flautas.
