3/25/07 - Lunch

Same burrito as before: flower tortilla, avocado, refried beans, & bbq sauce. Had this for dinner at the shop later. I'm still eating like a student.

Luke was in full multitasking mode, fixing his golf cart and watching March Madness on the kitchen TV pointed out the door. He was spraying chemicals outside and the fumes drifted into the kitchen, ruining my appetite.

Flour tortilla, avocado, & refried beans, w/Bone Suckin' bbq sauce. I 'borrowed' the sauce from Luke without asking. He hasn't noticed. Thanks, Luke.

03/16/07 - Dinner

Finally ate at La Cascada. I've been waiting to eat there for awhile. Sorely disappointed. I think it's time for a burrito round up.

1) Cancun in Berkeley - tastiest meat, coke in bottles, good chips, etc.
2) TIE Vallarta in Santa Cruz/Capitola and Las Palmas in Rockridge. Vallarta has the best chips and hugest burritos, but they don't really taste like much. They also have a nostalgia factor. Palmas' burritos actually taste like something, which is nice.
3) Cancun in Santa Cruz - pretty good. Nice chips. Good prices.
4) Green Chile in SF - Good, clean interior. Spicy.
5) Chipotle - Alright I guess. Better than Baja Fresh.
6) La Cascada - Yellow cheese? Wtf. Plastic coke bottles? WTF. I want my mexican coke.
7) Cactus on college - nothing special at all.
8) Baja Fresh - Can NEVER get my order right (see past updates). Overly expensive. Annoying music.

9) La Burrita - makes my pee smell funny.

03/10/07 - Dinner

Before I got this Burrito from Cancun in Berkeley, my stomach started hurting. I have a feeling it was from lunch. Everytime I go to McDonald's I tell myself I won't go there again. This time - this blog as my witness - I think I mean it. Now this is a burrito. Finally. After having to suffer through Baja Fresh's incompetence in making a simple burrito, I can get this (with superior bottled coke - though I'm not sure if it's better than McDonald's). In any case, a fabulous burrito, but I think I ate it too soon after lunch, and my stomach still hurts. bleh.

3/9/07 - Dinner

Fifteen minutes before, this was a chile verde super burrito (chile verde, avocado, lettuce, pinto beans, cheese, flour tortilla). With a basket of empty chips and a cup of salsa.

Ate this at one of the better Mexican restaurants in town, Los Piños, where you can get good eats and catch your favorite telenovelas showing on their three TVs.

3/7/07 - Dinner

Dinner for two. Luke was stoked despite criticizing my using olive oil to sautee the onions. "You don't use olive oil for Mexican food!" But I was feeding him and he obligingly helped dice up the avocados during prep.

All turned out decent despite the wanky sprouted whole wheat tortillas that grew stiff and crackly when I heated them up in the oven. Also, the lightly-salted refried beans had the consitency of dogfood. Won't be buying these brands again. It was passable fare.

Burritos: sprouted whole wheat tortillas, sauteed yellow onions, organic avocado, refried pinto beans (or we could've used Alpo), enchilada sauce.
