In the IE (inland Empire) you really can find too many places that serve up a good California burrito, you usually have to travel two hours south to San Diego but Jilberto's is one of those places. After leaving a bar, driving around some of my drunken cohorts in search for some greasy heart clogging Mexican food, we found it Jilberto's. There were some drunken college students in there talking about how jilberto's had the best carne asada fries, and great quesadillas, but I decided on the California burrito.

I woke this morning with an aching back, sore legs, and feeling a bit under the weather. As the day went on, things didn't improve. By Monday Night Football time, I knew I needed a burrito. Luckily,
Cuco's was right there. I was feeling meatophobic, so I ordered a veggie, which earned me a cocked brow and a suprised "vegeteriano"?
Even swine-lovers like myself need a break every now and then. The burrito was good. I feel a bit better. What more does a boy need?

OK, it was technically the day after Thanksgiving, but I went into the city on Friday afternoon. I had lunch at
Los Jalapenos, toured a big
warship, and then went for an early dinner at
Dos Segundos. And then i was legitimately more stuffed than any bird of the previous day. Thanks to Burrito Club Philly for pointing me towards these two places.

It's not often that the two worlds intersect, but the faithful know that Burritophile is one of those nexi. I spent all yesterday in a GIS class that was happily located across the street from
Taqueria Garibaldi. I rambled across the street over lunch and (in a nod to the tough economic times) ordered a regular ($5.10) instead of super ($6.10) burrito. I was disappointed to see that the Yucateca sauces had been replaced by El Tapatio, but what can you do? No matter what the sauce, a nice dose of their green creamy with a squeeze of lime juice makes life pretty darn good.

Hope is a powerful emotion. When one combines high hopes with burrito-starved stomach, one has a very potent combination that could lead to either Nirvana or disaster. I took a trip to New Hope PA to try
El Taco Loco. All the details were right and my hopes rocketed upwards, but would it be a great burrito? Read my
review to find out.

Some people have mentioned, from time to time, that it seems like all I do is take cross-section photos of my burritos. This is true. I've been very consistent with every photo I've taken. However, variety is the spice of life, so here you go:
That's a
Cuco's carnitas alongside Bill Willingham's
Fables volume 5. I think it's almost artistic.
