Burritos...

My town has horrible mex food. It makes no sense. Terrible.

i've heard about titos.

im a sucker for hard shell tacos, fucking amazing.

In Fresno I eat tacos.  They’re fantastic and everywhere.  Taco trucks on every corner, people selling them out of their garage.  It’s awesome.  But Fresno’s burrito game is pretty weak.

 

I eat burritos in San Diego.

goes good with a miller lite 

I've been eating titos a lot lately.  There is something about a deep fried hard taco.  Good stuff.  The line is fucking ridiculous though.

the mexican coke is my favorite drink. awful for you, but god damn that thing taste so fucking good.

jealous of you west coast zoners, good tacos everywhere....not the case where i am from.

id crush 2 tacos and a burrito right about now.

I’m making a gallon of some absolute fire hot sauce right now.  I’ve got a local brewer that loves my sauce and trades me growlers for hot sauce.

Tranquilo Tortuga

sounds delicious!

most people could use more burritos in their life.

hey Turts- what's in the lunchbox?

1 slice of gluten free pizza....

I'd rather not eat.

i freakin love burritos. Good place near me. Lunch like 2-3 times a week.

I like the steamed ones I first encountered in SF, the grilled ones from this food truck round here, and the ones i make. Its a regular meal at my hut.

Not all folks like them.  Some older guests don't know what to make of them. "you mean i just hold it?". Can I use a fork?

mine are usually pintos/ black beans, rice, salsa fresca, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, salsa verde, sour cream, guac. and whatever else i can. 

Damn Im hungry.

Anyone remember the "burrito bus" from dead tour 88-92ish? One of their big boys and a big sammy smith sustained me for a few tours.

Yep, they were good but the egg roll guy was my goto. Egg rolls the size of your head. Full of hot oil pockets that would scorch your mouth but I still enjoyed every bite.

Turtle eats at Wahoo's.

the gluten free is p ports best pie. that's not saying much i know, i generally don't eat there.

ned i've eaten wahoos 2x's in the last 10yrs.

not sure how places can fuck up a burrito.

god i miss mex.

Got to be whole beans.  I prefer a lot of avocado. Fuck crema. And french fries have no place in burritos.  However, this is more of a tacos and tortas kind of town. 

You know what the world needs more of?  Spicy pastor cooked on a schwarma spit with pineapple.  And elotes.  And I like my spicy limed up mango cut into pieces and not served on a stick.

I was going to send you a gift card, turtle :(

the wet burritos are great too. smothered in a flavorful sauce/salsa. 

torta ahogadas, anyone ever have? i've only ever dreamed of such a beautiful sandwich. 

Oh yeah! the egg roll guy. Those were great too.  Anyone that yelled "kind veggie burritos" usually were a fail. You sorta got to know who to avoid and who to look for. Like the peeps that rented a truck and sold french bread pizza. And this one veggie stir fry gang.

Damn, even hungrier now.

>>> i've only ever dreamed of such a beautiful sandwich

 

get a grip

La Cumbre in SF is still the place for me- can't wait to get back there - crappy neighborhood though (16th & Valencia)

 

Opened in 73

You must be a blast at parties, Slack.

If you can eat a beautiful sandwich in any setting around the world, where would it be and would you split it with Phil?

cemitas are my new jam.

slacker is upset. his life sucks. lol. 

>>And french fries have no place in burritos.

heavens no

I don't even like rice in a burrito.

ned 

whatever happend w/ the hotdog cart? 

^ oh, yeah

Hot Ned's

Botb - I cook my pastor, I wouldn't call it authentic, with a chopstick stuck into a pineapple core. My marinade has lots of pineapple juice and chunks in it. Fly -- yeah, the ones that barked also had a bite,,,, a big ole diarrhea bite. I'm with you 4winds -- no potato(unless it's the rare occasion that I eat a breakfast burrito) and certainly no rice filler. Rice and black beans on the side with hot sauce and lime.

>>>>Anyone that yelled "kind veggie burritos" usually were a fail

I don't know if this is true, but a friend of mine swears he knew a dude who would sling burritos on tour using the cheapest of ingredients, including wet dog food which he allegedly spiced up and used as filling.

Mi Burrito on Lombard in North Portland serves the best burritos in town using the freshest of ingredients and with incredibly low prices. 

Speaking of Mexican food in general (its questionable if burritos are truly Mexican), my son goes to college in Las Cruces, NM, near the border with Chihuahua and could live off of burritos.   But he actually looks forward to coming back to Portland for the Mexican food because apparently, most of the food he gets in Cruces is limited to either New Mexican or Chihuahuan, while Portland has cooks from all over Mexico, resulting in much greater culinary diversity.   

Hot dog cart idea has been mothballed until the economy goes belly-up again. Business model has been fully researched and ready to execute at a moments notice.

>>>> his life sucks. lol. 

I thought I lived in burrito heaven.

 

I could do french fries but I prefer rice. 

 

Have you seen The Founder, Ned? 

rice helps the burrito absorb all the juices and salsa to your butt end of the tortilla isn't a sloppy mess.

(((ned's weiners)))

a burrito does just fine without rice.

Snubs on a Bun

I'm with Turtle; Sarah is wrong.

 

not wrong in this thread, Nedward

sarah's sloppy burritos.

 

ok i just ate one from the only other place here i can. they of course, have schwagg ingredients.

 

carne asada, spanish rice, pintos, guac, salsa verde, pico.

hold the crema. 

 

$6.99 + tax

Rice is simply a conduit for the flavour.

My SD buddies swear by no beans, no rice in burritos. Just meat, guac, pico.

For Slacker, I'd share a torta in Tahiti with Phil, for sure.

Why don't people like rice and beans? 

I love New Mexican food.  What a great state for random backroad wandering.

Jonas I have been marinading pastor with adobada, organo, and pineapple.  Lazy. You want to share your marinade?

I like shrimp burritos just to pretend I am being healthier.  

 

You couldn't even buy flour tortillas in mexico 30 years ago. 

 

i love a good pizza thread 

rice and beans are fine on the side

I'd like meat wrapped in a tortilla for convenience and a side of rice and beans on a plate to be weird. 

>>you couldn't even buy flour tortillas in mexico 30 years ago

why? because they were homemade?

>>I'd like meat wrapped in a tortilla for convenience and a side of rice and beans on a plate to be weird. 

so tacos are weird too?

lol

Tacos are a different thread.

I would think you might have something more to add here Mr. Brochacho.

>>>>>You couldn't even buy flour tortillas in mexico 30 years ago. 

Its true that corn tortillas are the real staple of Mexican cuisine, but popular legend states that the original burritos were made with flour tortillas, which are more common in the northern state of Chihuahua where the burrito supposedly first appeared 40 years before they took off in California.  From Wiki:

"Juan Méndez sold tacos in a street stand in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Ciudad Juárez, using a donkey as a transport for himself and the food, during the Mexican Revolution period (1910–1921). To keep the food warm, Méndez wrapped it in large homemade flour tortillas underneath a small tablecloth. As the "food of the burrito" (i.e., "food of the little donkey") grew in popularity, "burrito" was eventually adopted as the name for these large tacos." (emphasis added).

Had one for breakfast.  

Start with organic refried beans.  Add cooked organic grass fed hamburger and grilled onions. Add green tabasco sauce and chopped up serrano peppers. Add organic mexican blend grated cheese.   I cook up a pot of these beans and they last me a week or so.

Mission organic uncooked flour tortillas. These are awesome! You cook them on a flat grill as you need them.

One organic pasture raised egg per burrito. Scrambled.

Dollup of home made guacamole ( Organic avocados, chopped onions, chopped serranos, meyers lemon juice, seasalt, green tabasco).

Good stuff Maynard.   Wait I need to add that to another thread......

 

>>>Spicy pastor cooked on a schwarma spit with pineapple. 

Pastor is more prevalent than ever in the barrios of LA these days.  Almost every curbside taco stand and truck have the spits spinning. I had 3 for lunch, $4.11.  Delicious.

pastor inspired burritos tonight w/ roasted pineapple.

rice/beans

guacamole 

pickeld onions/peppers

enchilada style tomato based sauce

should be right.

 

 

That's one tiny baby.

 

But yes, beans and rice on the side only.
