    California Burrito

    Carne asada, guacomole salsa, pico de gallo, french fries, a bit of cheese. A BIT like a tiny bit.

    Its not a fucking delicacy, its a drunken fools only hope at 4 AM. Its not meant for a plate. Burritos are not meant for church. Its not high fucking art. Its fucking food and its meant to be a way.

    these mf serve tortilla chips with mayonnaise…

      My man, my fucking man, let me show you this shit.

      Restuarant 1

      WITH fries. Like, as a side. Not in the burrito, neverminding everything else wrong.

      Heres a different restaurant also nearby

      Beans and rice? Wheres the fries??

      Fucking google that shit… its like everyone out here heard that California burritos are popular and did literally NO further looking into it. Just made some shit up.

      And look at this shit… you see that white “dipping sauce” there? Thats not queso…

        That second California burrito is definitely a Texas burrito. We do beans and rice in ours. I’ve literally never heard of fries going in a burrito, and the concept makes me uncomfortable lmao

        Your burrito is now their burrito. This is what it feels like, btw.

          I mean. Somewhat.

          Like its kind of bullshit to make a claim that this isn’t appropriation/ gentrification/ whatever your proffered framing is. At the same time, Lola’s 7 up in barrio Carlsbad has been around almost a hundred years. Some place in El Cajon, Escondido, spots in LA, all over southern California… its not like the people living there stopped being Mexican when the border moved. And its truly injust to “make invisible” the people who have lived in some of these areas since it wasn’t even Mexico, but Spain, and dismiss their cooking traditions because especially on the west coast of alta and baja california, the cultural centers weren’t in modern Mexico. They were LA, Santa Barbara, San Diego, San Francisco (the mission, hello).

          Finally, I, a white man, knows what gentrification and cultural appropriation feels like. And it feels bad man.

        Not sure what’s going on here, but we had a different name for eating cum off a bland tortilla chip when I was a youth. We also didn’t typically do it in restaurants.
