An attorney at work asked me if I liked Mexican food and when I answered in the affirmative he told me that there was a good Mexican place near my apartment. He told me very enthusiastically that it wasn't Mexican food like in Mexico, it was Mexican food like in the United States. Good--I hate authenticity. I went there for dinner tonight and it reminded me of Chipotle, except it was better because there aren't so many rules about what you can put on your burrito. You don't have to choose between beans and grilled peppers--you can have both! Also, they don't charge extra for guacamole and you can choose a couple kinds of meat if you want. I was so excited I got a little carried away--the first tortilla broke because there was so much stuff on it so the worker had to dump all the fillings on a new tortilla and try again.Monday, May 18, 2009
Te Gusta la Comida Mexicana?

Dude. The outside even looks like Chipotle! Way to go on the enormous burrito-- I hope they charged by weight. :)
oh sweet. That's amazing. You usually can't find Americanized food when you're in the authentic place--what a find!
I love that you got carried away, Kirstin. That often happens to me at Cafe Rio when I ask for more lettuce, pico and chips - extremely overboard and not necessary! But your meal sounded fabulous and I am jealous!
