Culture Shock.
Every time it’s a surprise. A delicious surprise, but nonetheless, a surprise. I always forget that things are a bit different down here. Burritos are not burritos here. I’m not sure if Northern California is the mutation or if it’s a Lo Cal thing, but either way you chew it, these tortilla-filled cousins are still both delicious.
I’ve spent a lot of years comparing and contrasting Mexican food from the two California’s and have come to some realizations. The burritos are better in the North, while tortas are better in the South. (Tortas are NEVER supposed to be served on sourdough, thankyouverymuch.) Rolled tacos just ain’t happening north of LA, so any visit to the southland needs them. I find myself getting stuck on tortas and rolled tacos, but this time I pledged to be different. The name of this website is BURRITOwings after all.
