Let's face facts: I LOVE BURRITOS.

Some of my favorites include:

Burritoville (Route 66 veggie chorizo, done crunchito style w/ tortilla crumbles mixed into the burrito )
La Bamba (Burritos as big as your head!!! )

Chipotle (Yeah, I know, chain restaurant hell. They do the trick when I'm in a pinch and I'm convinced they're at least semi-good for me, as fast food goes.)

What are your favorite burritos?

I thought you were vegan or some shit.

I love a chile relleno burrito!! they sell them at my local mexican food take-out. It is not a fast food place, it's a restaurant that sells to go. One big chile relleno, stuffed around a huge flour tortilla!!

there are vegetarian burritos! there are vegan burritos too, i'm sure.

though i guess technically, the rule is, if something's wrapped in lettuce and a tortilla, it's not considered meat anymore.

There's a place in college station, texas that lays claim to the "monster" burrito. My husband flies there a lot for work and loves them. He's way big into burritos.

As for me, there's this little hole in the wall in Pensacola, FL that's called The Screaming Coyote and it's awesome. I like their chicken, shredded cabbage, and black bean burritos. Shredded cabbage doesn't sound too good, but it really is. It's raw. They also have this great salsa bar there with 10 different salsas. MMMMM.

there's a place by my apartment that makes a huge honking chicken one i love.

chipotle is not bad, as nyc and/or chain mexican goes, but it's nowhere near as good as the mexican i got used to in texas.

i miss the hell out of freebird and the mom and pop places in austin.

My roommate has a burrito-a-day habit. I don't get it.

Chipotle has totally made me their bitch.

The Veggie one with beans, rice, mild salsa, guac, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce.

I've never had a burrito

sure you have!

No, I haven't

I have to say, I'm not a fan of the bigger than your head burrito. I like my burritos a managable size.

And I think the pic you have is an enchilada, not a burrito.

I don't really have a fave burrito anymore. I'm more of a soft shell taco girl, which is pretty close to the same, only smaller. And even then, I'm likely to enjoy the unconventional ones I'd make myself, like a breakfast burrito with eggs, veggie sausage, salsa, sour cream, cheese and maybe some green onion.

You know, that totally made me hungry too. I think I know what my breakfast treat is this weekend.

You are officially an honorary


My fave is burrito de pollo. Nice and simple.

That is a burrito in the pic. A enchilada is made of corn tortillas and way smaller. This burrito is huge and has sauce on top. It is a typical mexican way to serve a burrito.

I'm not big on burrtios.

I love those other things though.

The fried up stuff.

That is definitely a burrito almost looks like a wet burrito but I dont think it has enough sauce to be one


And my burritos I like with carne azada, guacamole, salsa, onions, cilantro, beans, lettuce, tomato, rice and sour cream

PaisleyPark5083 said:

I thought it was the enchilada that was served with sauce on it. Hence the name "enchilada sauce".
Or are all Minnesotan-Mexicans wrong? That very well could be.

I've never had one but they sure sound purty. Would they survive the post?

shouldn't we "Cut the cheese & discuss burritos" instead hahahahahaha

CarrieMpls said:

me too. it never occured to me to see if the place by my apt does breakfast.

As long as it doesn't come in a polystyrene tray I'm all for them.

I am from Nebraska..living in Oklahoma now, And the way my family makes mexican food, from how the mexicans down here make mexican food is different. Up North, they make their enchiladas with flour tortillas, and down here, they make theirs with corn. I think it might just depend on what region you live in. So...for you to think that pic was an enchilada, I can understand why.

MoniGram said:

yea, having tried and failed to find in nyc what i think of as mexican food (based on living in texas), there is a HUGE difference region to region.

MoniGram said:

You know, even if something is supposed to come with a corn tortilla, I order it with flour as a substitute. I don't like corn tortillas. So that make even more sense to me now.

MoniGram said:

We're Mexican and make all of our enchiladas with corn tortillas and they are covered in enchilada sauce none of that tortilla is left uncovered, yummy

veronikka said:

It's different all over...I too am Mexican...but I think the farther North they went, they used what they could find. I make Tacos with flour and deep fat fry them...and my enchiladas are made with flour and sauce and lots and lots of cheese. YUMMY! I can't find anyone down here who makes their mexican food the way we do up North...so I love going home, and eating at my Aunt Pepa's place!
