LOL! All my daughters college roommates and buddies thought that was Authentic Mexican food.
Her Cross Country team was in major culture shock when they travel to San Diego for a tournament.
Good food down there! I lived in la Mesa, chuls vista and
Coronado.
Have you ever got around to eating a California burrito?
Asada, fries, crema, rice, queso etc.....
I love the food down there.
Is that a rhetorical question? 😁
My Paternal Grandmother was pumping out Mission and California style "burros", as she called them, since before I was born.
Grandad worked for Southern Pacific Railroad for almost 40 years until he retired in the early 70's and she would pack him burritos he called Monstros. Meats, potatoes, rice, frijolis, cheese, crema, salsa pretty much any kind of filling you could think of usually last nights dinner wrapped in a freshly made Sonoran size tortilla for that days Breakfast and Lunch.
Family joke always was the guy that started Roberto's in the 50's probably had a relative that worked with my Grandfather back in the day as Grandma's burritos were always the talk of the crews.
Same with the Mission burritos in Norcal. In the 50's My Dad used to have Grandma make him several extra burritos a week to sell to several kids at school in Oakland.
Long story short Yes Ive had all styles of burritos all over California.
I know seems like a BS story. 😎
