Burritos

[needs]

How do you like 'em? What meat? What beans? Rice/no rice? Lettuce? Sour cream, guac?

What's the best and where are they?

My votes. Pork (carnitas or al carbon), rice, never lettuce, whole pinto beans, avocado, cheese.

Best burrito: Tacqueria Cancun, SF, on Mission btw 19th and 20th St. Great carnitas, great veggie burritos. Half an avocado in each. Free chips and salsa. Finally, they put the burrito on the griddle after they wrap it.

You can't go wrong with either Chipotle or Qdoba.

Chipotle: chicken w/ black beans, sour cream, cheese, corn, mild salsa, and guacamole. They always ask nicely if you want it, and mention that it's extra as a courtesy. You can't go wrong with the carnitas or steak burritos either.

Qdoba: the chicken mole is phenomonal. Not too spicy but powerful just the same. Black beans but no guac with this one.

If you're ever in Davis Square, Somerville, MA or Central Square, Cambridge, MA, hit Picante Mexican Grill. Especially if it's picadillo day, big, tasty, beef burritos.

Back to Denver, Illegal Pete's makes good ones too, but they fall apart as soon as they hit your plate.

Burritos make me toot.

chipotle:

chicken w/ very little rice, black beans, cheese, corn salsa, tomato salsa, hot salsa, lettuce and guacamole.

la bambas:

Chipotle:

Carnitas (chicken a close second) w/:

rice, pinto beans, and mild salsa. No cheese or guacamole. Thats stuff'll kill you.

If you're in New York, check out Burritoville. The Bob Marley (jerk chicken) is kickass.

Airport Food can be good:

The Creole burritto at Burritto Beach in O Hare Airport was unreal for airport food, very good for burrittos. In between concources H and K (American Ailrines).

Man, there's just nothing like frozen bean n'cheese, straight out of your grocers freezer aisle. Dump a little Old El Paso hot salsa right over that bad boy. Mmmm mmmm mmmmm.

Personally, I'm a big fan of microwavable breakfast burriot. Mmmmm.

Other than the no El Paso Sauce, the Bean, Cheese, and Chili mini burritto straight from Albertson's wasn't Qdoba but it worked for the time being.

I had a roommate that used to have a freezer full of Little Juan's.......granted, I wasn't above eating one when I was starved (although having some THC inside my blood stream helped), but boy they are bottom of the line. Then again, they are probably the only burrito that could survive a nuclear war :D

This will probably be heresy to some people, but the good old Burrito Supreme is a classic in my book.

California Tortilla in Bethesda, MD is awesome.

There's this taqueria in Watsonville called "La Esperanza" or something, that serves the best chicharron burrito on the planet. No beans, onions, or other garbage. It's all-crispy pork crackling with a dollop of piquant salsa wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. To die for . . . . .

That sounds good!!!

How close is Watsonville to Spartan?

[cachundo]

Watsonville's just south of Santa Cruz, about an hour away from Spartan. That is, if traffic is light going up the hill.

:mad:

Any recommendations of burrito shops near Spartan? I'll be there for the Freedom game on 4/19.

"Spartan" & "good food" don't go well together. The area around Spartan stadium is a Superfund site. :eek:
