What would you call burritos and tacos? Chinese?

LOL. there is no need to get defensive, but there is definitely a difference between authentic 'mexican' fast food and heavily americanized 'mexican' fast food.

I think most agree that a good taco place will usually tacos that consist of: those smaller corn tortillas, choice of meat (asada, pastor, lengua, cabeza, pollo guisado, and maybe some other types of inards), cilantro and cebolla, and your choice of salsa (green-tomatillo salsa or red-chile salsa).

Burrito's should prolly include the same but in a flour tortilla with beans, rice, crema, avocado...or whatever else you like in it that they have in the restaurant.

This stuff is not 'mexican' food, let alone "world class" mexican food. This stuff is more along the lines of a Taco Bell or Del Taco at least in terms of style. I concede that since i've never been there the quality may be much better

Went to Los Primos tonight. Nothing says world class like the Mr. Serious, weighing in at 2+ pounds

burritos & tacos with ground beef = southwestern/texmex, which is American

Don't even get me started on the "cheese sauce" used on the Nachos.

Taco Time was solely responsible for a 30-pound weight gain during my freshman year at the University of Oregon.

I think UofO had more to do with that.

The Mexican food I like is the kind that doesn't do this:

After all...beans, rice, meat, tortilla, etc....same ingredients for all of them, whether you call it a taco, burrito, tostada, tacquito, flauta, whatever....

Honestly - I prefer Ray's Tepeyac in Covina/Azusa. Always damn good, especially for breakfast.

the one here at City National Plaza is downright awful

the meat tastes like dog food

the only good thing: tater tots (or as they call them, mexi-fries)
