Burritos

You know what sucks? What sucks is that I live in a town that has no good burrito joint. No Chipotle, no Moe's, no Qdoba. Not even a fuckin' Barburrito. (What is that? They have a full bar and burritos? I'm moving to Atlanta.)

I was talking to this girl the other day, and she was all like, "I hate those fast food burrito places. You can get better burritos from real Mexican restaurants."

Not.

At "real Mexican restaurants," they give you a small tortilla with some meat inside, then cover it with cheese and "mystery sauce." Then they put some beans and guacamole on the side. What are they thinking? It took some fucking American ingenuity to bring out the best in Mexican. I guess its not the first time. ZING!

Bottom line: No, I don't want a tortilla wrapped around a block of cheese and some stringy meat with the inside topping on the outside. Fast food Mexican trumps migrant-worker authentic Mexican, period (unless you are there for other reasons). And those burritos are definitely NOT boring!

Burritos: Popping your culture since 1854.
