Anyone here like burritos?

[Wyatt Burp]

Since I basically live in Northern Mexico there's a Mexican restaurant on almost every street corner and I'm only slightly exaggerating. Here's two chile verde burritos from two different places I went to two weeks apart. That scary lookin' one with the Model 19 tasted a lot better than it looks, but the other one with the Colt was better. I think I'm done for a while. You have good Mexican restuarants in your neck of the woods?

Wyatt, unless this is you home, I want to know whare you get these. I want to lay my gun next to my meal too.....

Wyatt; We have several in this small town. They stay busy. Not many Mexicans live here so most of us Anglos must like the food. I prefer Chicken Taco salad or Huevos Rancheros.

Love burritos.

There's a rundown bodega near my work that makes chicken chipotle burritos. I could eat one a day for the rest of my life.

Cruel post. I envy your food choices...and the guns ain't bad either!

'Round these parts, real Mexican food is rare. Most is average Tex-Mex, and generally one step up from Taco Bell. Sadly, most food trucks are generally fresher and better than the brick&mortar variety.

Remember the old caution about not eating anything larger than your head? Believing that, you should stay away from some of the San Antonio Mexican restaurants. There is one place we go to occasionally that has a large burrito which is plenty for at least three large appetites. I think they start off with about a 2 foot diameter flour tortilla.

Wife likes burritos, I like tacos. We both like sweet, and sour Chinese.

I think most people like burritos, but maybe that is a slanted view considering where we live. I like carnitas, usually skip the tortilla now that "bowls" are offered. We have a local place just down the street that has very good food. John always gets the fried fish burrito and I switch it up between a fish taco, tortilla or pasado soup, or carnitas bowl. They have a fantastic fresh salsa bar too with at least 6 different types.

Come to Pueblo, Colorado in the fall for the Chile & Frijole Festival. Fresh roasted chiles straight from the fields, and plenty of folks who know how to make a burrito the right way.

There is 'tex-mex', there is 'cal-mex', and there is genuine Southern Colorado-Northern New Mexico good eating! And we don't limit it to the fall festival, we eat like that all the time.

Yes. However, I like tacos better and I can make them so good that fat Mexican women will sing for them.

I like burritos well enough but I am more likely to order four or sic tacos to grit some variety. If I can get some al pastor, some carnitas and some lengua or buche, I am pretty happy.

We have several good-sized Mexican communities in the area so there is a variety of Mexican food available, in a range of styles. There is so much good stuff available that I will rarely settle for the limitations imposed by a big burrito.

The one exception is in camp during Rally Week in South Dakota. Eggs, cheese, onions, chili, beans, chilies, hot sauce and leftover bratwurst from the night before are likely to get rolled up into a burrito. A lot of beer and whisky is consumed in the evening, so breakfast needs to be hearty and absorptive. (That is early breakfast, about 5:00 to 7:00 am. Later on, about mid morning there is usually a ride out to someplace that serves breakfast with table service. It often takes a couple of breakfasts to get in shape to ride again.)

Taco Bell, Taco Cabana and McDonald's have ruined the choices for real Mexican food even as far South as here. You have to look hard for the mom and pop places that still make it. The local place closed about a month ago so the nearest place now is 10+ miles down the highway.

The first one looks good if it didn't have that jiz all over it. I wouldn't touch the second. It looks like it came out of the freezer.

So far the best Burrito I've ever had has been at a Mexican joint in Pittsburgh PA (of all places) - don't remember the name of the place off the top of my head, but it was somewhere near Mt Lebanon. Love them!

Hack and Framer... thanks for the visuals.
What really blows is I'm still hungry...

We have some of the best Mexican/southwestern food in New Mexico. Don't forget Indian Tacos, chile rellenos and sopapillas. A calendar relleno is a roasted and peeled green chile pod filled with cheese, battered and fried. They are amazing when done properly. I made the mistake of going to a Mexican restaurant in Alabama once. At first I thought I was safe. They had sombreros on the wall, Mexican music playing and many of the staff had trouble with English. I ordered the relleno, which is a great way to test a Mexican restaurant. When it arrived it was an epic fail. It was a green bell pepper stuffed with hamburger meat and covered in cheese sauce. I couldn't wait to get back to New Mexico.

My favorite food, eat at least once a week, plenty of choice here in S Florida with all the Mexican Restaurants to choice from, lot of chains, but I try privately owned, they make the best Burritos.
