M'kay, some of you most likely know that I love tacos. It's not just love, it's "I would fucking eat that taco, even if it had been on the ground for twenty minutes" kind of love. Anyways, Ima get to the point.
Some random kid comes up to me with a nasty burrito that my school classifies as "lunch" and says, "hey, you're the girl who loves burritos right?" When it comes to mexican food, I love pretty much all of it, except the burrito. I don't know why, but burritos just piss me off. After having to walk through a jam-packed hallway of people I couldn't care less about and wish they would all fuck off, and people looking at me funny just cause I dress differently than they do, I was in a bitchy mood. That, and I take my mexican food seriously. So I say, "No, I'm the girl who FUCKING LOVES TACOS!" and tell him what he SHOULD DO with that nasty burrito. Then his jaw has pretty much dropped to the ground, and he walked away.
I take my tacos FUCKING SERIOUS, with some extra I DON'T GIVE A FUCK... my school sucks... :kingmeh:
DO NEVER TEST THE TACO.
:taco:
EXACTLY!!! IF YOU QUESTION A TACO, THE TACO GODS WILL CURSE AND DAMN YE!!!!! :argh!:

Daddy's little girl. :transmet:
:lol:
Brilliant!
Your rants make me realise how much I don't miss school, TGG
Burritos are superior.
You go girl!
And Burritos do suck....
then what is your take on taquitos?
acceptable bastard child of tacos and burritos is acceptable... then again, i'll eat anything.
Burritos are great, when I need a palatable calorie payload. Tacos, especially ones with fish and white sauce, are one of the finer things in life.
A taco is a bunch of meat-veggie-bean stuff in a hard crunchy corn shell [like the emoticon], yeah? Is the only difference between a taco and a burrito that the burrito is wrapped in a more soft pancake like wrapping or is there more to it?
Cause then I think I prefer burrito's (or "wraps" as they're called here), since they're easier to eat, cause the taco shell crumbles and then everything falls out, while if you fold the wrap properly, you can eat it with your hands.
I think burritos have rice in them as well.
I see. Indeed the rice shall have to go.

Is THAT why I have splinters in my ass? ;)
No, really, there's a time and place for each. Usually the place is in my piehole, if you want to know the tr00f.
Okay, here's the scoop. I love tacos.
But not the hard shell white people tacos with ground beef, refried beans, lettuce, TOMATO, and cheddar cheese.
FUCK that noise.
A taco consists of two (2) corn tortillas, fried, with chopped meat, onion, cilantro, lime, valentina, and maybe guacamole if they made it themselves.
I like real-live Mexican tacos, the street ones, where they shave that meat off the meat hook that's hanging over the frier. And you load that shit up with all the fixins in the bowls on the counter.
THAT is eating. ETA: exactly what Felix was talking about above, I believe.
Hells to the yeah.
I love tacos, and I share your distain for burritos. 1. I fucking hate wheat-flour tortillas. WTF is that shit? Get it off my Mexican food! 2. Rice. What is it doing in there? Get it out!
Tacos are perfection. Don Pancho has a fucking great happy hour deal where the tacos are all a dollar. All of them! Brains! Tongue! Fish! Anything you want!
There's nothing wrong with tomato on a taco. Pico de gallo; put it in my head-hole!
I know I won't be in Southern California when I go, but I am very, very much looking forward to trying the Mexican out that way. I'm going to find myself some dank ass truck and eat tacos until I fucking explode. We have a few decent Mexican places here, but no taco trucks.
I don't know where you'll be but Portland has a large immigrant population and a lot of excellent taco trucks and holes in the wall. So does Oakland.

Since I don't really have any other reference to go by I think I'll try to track down the one Anthony Bourdain went to.

That would kind of depend on what they're served on. Also, tomatoes can't be Caucasian. All by themselves, they are as authentically New World as masa tortillas.

I present to you: Alty's All-American Taco Salad Delight!™
-2 pressurized cans of Easy Cheese
-1 box of Wheat Thins
-3 pounds 27% fat, plastic wrapped beef shipped from ?
-3 packets of taco seasoning
-1 jar Pace Salsa
Brown the hell out of the meat mixed with seasoning.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Eat immediately.
Gain 10 pounds.
Die.
Burrito tortillas tend to be robust in lard content, so the aversion to them is quite wise.
If you don't keep the war against burritos going, you'll end up like Alty.
Look at that. That was probably consumed in one sitting. Jesus Christ.

You forgot the 1 ounce shredded lettuce, so that it counts as a salad.
I agree with Felix. Plain chopped tomatoes on tacos are a glowing neon sign that says "I'M A GODDAMNED HONKY."
Also, if you don't like burritos it's only because you've never deep-fried them.

I'll let my Mexican sister-in-law know. She usually serves tacos with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, chilies and limes in separate dishes on the table so people can dress them as they like.

Plain tomato is really common on fish tacos.
It is, come to think it.
Never had tacos pastor, a fact that belongs in the shame thread.
I don't understand Mexican cuisine. Why do they need a million words for "a combination of beef/beans cheese and veggies on a tortillia?"

Not really, since tortillas are basically corn flour and water.

I will grant that, on an abstract level, the recipe is essentially a mix of seasoned plant and animal matter ensconced in a carbohydrate vehicle. There, however, the similarities end.

I know the burritos you speak of. Limp, tepid, and lacking theflavor of a proper food, this if what America OFFERS. It's a half attempted, placating, "Here, this is sort of like that stuff you like! Have this, you MSUT like it too!"
America will not offer you anything good, it must be seized, won, and hewed with bloody viking abandon from the deathgrip hands of what has it. I'd love to be able to order a hot dog or a coffee without brandishing a pinless frag grenade, but this not the way of things. The offering is half - attempted band -aid to placate the percentage that might accept it.
That dude who offered it? An unlucky mortal who was chanlling the God of Halfass Offerings. Should be more careful what he lets possess him. Your dropping the harsh on him was a social service, since reality oppenign a postulant hole int eh very ground beneath him and sucking him screaming into a life of regret would not have been appropriate. Don't mess around with other people's food.

Oh. Fuhgeddaboutit.
Noodle shape is a very important subject. Some like certain shapes, but consider others heresy, depending on how they are prepared and what they are being served with. A large vocabulary to describe this is necessary.

That's a perfectly legitimate way of gaining nutrition. Also, legal in Rhode Island.
I Have not had a decent burrito in over 7 years.
The only good thing about Arizona.
they dont do proper mexican food here... cant get the right immigrants or lard.
It's a sunlight thing.

Oh, I remember those. As I recall, they tended to end up squashed in the bushes or, if still in the bag, in some sap's backpack. Even
Tacobell serves better stuff than that.
Carnitas!
Take a nice Boston Butt roast, rub with a mixture of salt, pepper and cumin or (and this worked really well) brine for a couple of hours, then put it in either a large pot or a turkey fryer and simmer it in rendered pork lard or peanut oil. Yes, boil it in oil, for about eh.... 3 hours. Take out of oil and raise temperature. Cut into fist sized chunks and put back into the oil and fry until outside is nice and crispy. Not burnt. Remove from oil. Let cool enough to shred.
Your other option is to cut into chunks before hand and roast covered in rendered pork lard in the oven for a few hours, then pan fry, but this way just doesn't have the same flavor or texture. This meat literally would melt if not for the little crispy parts.
Put on warm corn tortillas with whatever the fuck you want. Personally, I prefer chopped onion, cilantro, sliced or cubed avacado, sliced or diced radish and tomatillo salsa.
