You might be a Californian if...........?

Not that kind of brick. The kind made out of concrete that you put in your toilet tank to use less water

And the "Best Comeback Award" goes to....

Well then, there's two bricks in my toilet

I've never heard of a California burrito. Must be a San Diego thing...

They have them further north at Alberto's. It's carne asada, french fries, and cheese. I've never had one but it does sound intriguing.

There's an Alberto's walking distance from my house. I've never heard of this California burrito, nor been to an Alberto's for that matter. But I will have to clear out a breakfast & lunch to try one of these things

You haven't been to Alberto's and you call yourself a Southern Californian?

I'm thinking of picking one up after my post-work mountain bike ride. I'll report back!

Hahaha, Yeah man, I hope you have health insurance if you take up that habit! We had Alberto's in San Bernardino. If you ever feel like eating on the wild side of lethal cholesterol, its worth the risk!

Do you all wear Birkenstock?

I think Rainbow has Birkenstock beat, at least in SoCal.

Never heard of Alberto's and I'll have to pass on that burrito. I've reached the age where 'heaviness' doesn't taste good anymore.

Just about the same here...though heavy, greasy craziness has been relegated to the "once in a blue moon, and must eat nothing but veggies the rest of the day" category for me

Speaking of greasy insanity, Gecko next time you're around my neck of the woods hit up Taco Factory on Newport & Walnut! Best carne asada I've had in my life son...

I've been to the Taco Factory in Walnut. I vaguely remember it being a bit too salty for my taste.

Some places here in SD serve the California Burrito with Guacamole too.

It really all depends on 2 things for me if i decide to go the route of a California burrito.

1. Are the fries cooked or just soaked in cooking oil for 3 minutes?

2. Do i trust the Carne Asada?

Soggy, greasy fries (to begin with i mean, i know will they end up like that in the burrito) are just not cool in my book and carne asada is hit or miss with some taco shops.

You might be a ... If you like taco trucks better than Mexican restaurants.

If you know what the word "paletas" means.

Yum...haven't had one in years. I was always fond of coconut...sometimes watermelon. You gotta love that they include seeds!

Platanos con creama
Papusas
Mole enchiladas
Chili Rellenos
Tortas
Okay, now you got me started.

 

[gustobassman]

More mexican food! Here's a good one. California-style all the way.

Behold! Leftover tri-tip enchiladas. Last night's meal!

 

[elgecko]

Damnit! I'm definitely getting a burrito later!

You might be a ... If you like taco trucks better than Mexican restaurants.

Ordering tacos in a Mexican restaurant is like ordering a hot dog in an 'American' restaurant. Tacos are street food, and the best ones are always sold on the street.

Pupusas

You might be a Californian if you appreciate the difference between Mexican, Salvadoran, Peruvian, etc. cuisines.
