The Burrito is Dead. Long Live the Burrito.
Maya (Next Door) The burrito is dead. It’s okay; it has had its moment. It’s time we all came to terms with its passing. Gone are the classic San Francisco cylinders, filed with everything delicious. Oh, they still exist, but only as a shadow of what they used to be. Sure, places like Taqueria San […]

REEEEEEENNNNNOOOOOO!!!!
Stupid Reno. In the end, that’s all I can say. It’s always the same. Good times, money up, money down, chasing free drinks, ridiculous food and then the blur of events comes crashing to an end and you find yourself crawling back up over the hill on I-80, wondering just what in the hell happened. […]

Taqueria Cazadores
I like ham. I like cheese. I like rolled tacos. How could I not like ham and cheese taquitos? One day, while cruising around with Greg looking for something to do, we walked by that taco cart on Mission at S. Van Ness. They were closing up for the day, but while there we checked […]

Super Taqueria – The Missing Link
It has always been confusing to me that there is great Mexican food in San Diego, and great Mexican food in San Francisco, yet how both styles can be totally different, I never quite understood. Minor differences in tortillas, beans, bread, and meat preparation make all the difference. Sometimes menu items in one area look […]

Taqueria Los Zarapes
Poking through the trees on Highway 4 is a sign for a taqueria. Unfortunately, following this sign leads to a closed down taco shop nestled among thriving mainstream fast food joints. A sad sight indeed, but the quest must go on. Taqueria Los Zarapes may be no more, but surely Antioch has something to offer […]

Taqueria La Sierra
Taqueria La Sierra lies hidden down a nondescript side street off what seemed to be the main drag in Antioch. Housed in what was probably an old burger joint, the first thing you notice is all the signs in the window. It can be overwhelming at first, and Cory and I both ended up ordering […]

Adalberto’s take two: The torta
Finding San Diego style Mexican Food in the Bay Area is not very easy. Even though a previous trip to Adalberto’s left Team Burritowings mostly unimpressed, the call of the South is too loud to ignore—at least for Cory and me, the San Diego transplants. For me this trip was all about the torta. Finding […]

Budgetwings: Taqueria Los Coyotes
My refrigerator door is a repository of lists, to-do’s and reminders. Understandably, this landscape that is held together by magnets and yellow stickies simply blends into the background. One important piece of paper has held my attention for its entire run whilst hanging on my fridge door: the 2 for 1 burrito coupon at Los […]

Can-Cun Taqueria at Market and 6th
Sometimes you just want to go with a classic. When that craving hits, nothing else will do. When it comes to a burrito, that translates into needing a burrito from a specific taqueria. In that sense, I found myself with a burrito on my mind. Specifically, a grilled chicken super burrito from Can-Cun. Like all […]

Gringowings: Rubio’s All-American Taco
“The burger with a Beach Mex Twist†A hamburger patty has no business being inside a taco. For a chain that is known for their fish tacos, this foray into the American palette is a mistake. Burgers are meant to be on buns for a reason. The hearty bread structure soaks up condiments while still […]
