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.
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
I mean, you implied you live in Texas, right? No one in Texas is ever gonna try to present California as a good thing…
But you owe it yourself to try it. Good California Burrito is simple. It has carne asada, french fries, pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream in a flour tortila. That’s the minimum.
But, bump it up, substitute salsa cremosa for the sour cream and just slather it on. Or, fuck it, do both, I won’t judge if you like your burritos dripping wet. Put some cheese in there if you want, stick to cheddar/colby/jack.

Why would you say that?! California is amazing in many ways. I just think french fries on a burrito sounds very strange…
Most of the time when I get a burrito here, it includes chopped smoked chicken, chorizo, or al pastor as the protein, with mexican rice, refried beans, avocado, lettuce, pico, and jack cheese. Sometimes I’ll include sour cream or salsa, usually a roja for me but tomatillo is super popular. Cholula also
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).
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.

Damn, you weren’t even exaggerating a little.
Thanks for bringing the receipts on these atrocities, they’re both hilarious and heartbreaking 🥲

I got no qualms with rice and beans in a burrito. Love it, good stuff… but don’t call it a fucking california burrito.
This post is the first time I’ve ever even heard that a California burrito is a specific thing

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

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