Your weekly burrito consumption

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.

this is exactly the contents of my homemade burritos! (well except it's whole avocado, not guac)

rice should not be in a tortilla

LIES! OUTRAGEOUS LIES!

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.

arguing that chimichangas as better than burritos: c or d

Apples & Oranges

(also, is this the thread where we argue about which taqueria is the best?)

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!

El Farolito or Cancun (Berkeley). I've heard people swear by Cactus, but I've never been.

and on wednesday afternoon: two chile lime carne asada tacos (w/ flour tortillas).

xpost i've had a baja fresh burrito. BLAND!

xp

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.

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).

No shit??? really??? you're kidding, right??????????????????

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.

xp

agreed ^^

and that Diet Coke looks sufficiently coooold

it looks like any other burrito to me

sounds like a personal problem

california burritos are the worst

the fries are usually reheated and gross

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.

I made my own roasted tomatillo salsa last week, it was so good that I ate it up right away, will have to make it again

sitting in a park eating a burrito thanks to you jerks. it's pretty good.

I ate a pizza.

I AM NOT A SHEEP

Ur burritos wear masks

Anyway, only one ILX poster has the legitimacy required to weigh in on this.

jon /via/ chi 2.0?

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.

If a hole appeared inside your roof
And a burrito fell through it, like POOF!
And landed on your lap real hard
You'd notice it

If after you had ate your snack
You felt a violent need to crap
"I really hope it's just a fart!"
You'd notice it

Woke up craving a breakfast burrito. Out of potatoes. Found these bad boys in the freezer. Let’s do it. pic.twitter.com/Y8unL6DcpL

wish I had something even that 'appetizing' in my freezer atm

lol he's making a break burrito with Friday's apps

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

one of my favorite burritos is covered in a thin tomato sauce

0 burritos this week
1 chimi eaten this week
it was not a quality chimi
but it was an ok chimi
and not a burrito
good night

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