Is this a common problem? I've almost never had a burrito fall apart on me unless it outright rips--I once made the mistake of ordering a burrito in Scotland, and that was pretty formless, but it was also less a burrito and more an embarrassment hiding under an ill-fitting tortilla.

My general rule of thumb is that I don’t eat Mexican food in places where there aren’t many Mexican people.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Yup, made that mistake once while living in Vermont many years ago. As someone who grew up in socal, it was brutal.

That's easy for you to say, but some of us like burritos and live in Europe!

And yes, you CAN get good Mexican food here. Nowhere near as good as in the US near the border, of course, but MUCH better than in the worst US places for it like idunno, North Carolina or Alaska or some such 🤷

Utah used to be partly in Mexico territory before the recent unpleasantness and it has many good Mexican restaurants.

Btw, I love that you apparently refer to the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe as "the recent unpleasantness" 😆

Shhh, don’t talk about the war!

Ok, I guess I'll change it then.. How about North Carolina?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Waited all summer for the Mexican place in Gardiner to open when I worked in Yellowstone. Gardiner is on the border with the park.

Anyway, myself and two friends, all of us from Texas, were very vocally disappointment. It was so bad. The pizza place was great though.

I bet you didn’t know the burrito was invented in America.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Not true. Small donkeys existed for millions of years before the United States 😛

[–] eestileib 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've got an urgent update about American demographics for ya...

Make Burrito Great Again

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Mission style burritos aren't particularly Mexican, though. But they also shouldn't be particularly hard to eat.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

I know next to nothing about Hispanic food in general, but I've gotten a few food truck burritos in southern California and it opening was not on my list of concerns.

[–] farfarawaay 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For me, I tend to overstuff my burrito innards. As a result, I’m not able to fold in the ends over the heaping pile of innards so this tape would actually help me get that coveted wrap action without making me address my lack of self control.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

bro just use two overlapping tortillas for a larger burrito

[–] farfarawaay 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

TWO tortillas!? In one burrito!??! This is forward thinking… https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/9979bc85-fa52-48f9-a1f4-8f41fceb0bef.png

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Or use bigger tortillas or make two smaller burritos for innards to tortillas ratio

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

That adds a lot of calories, of course...
