    Why is it 'devastating' that the price of a Big Mac has dropped from
    last year's average of $6.05 to $5.15 today?

    A Big Mac or a gallon of gas....hmm, the real tragedy is you can't hardly get a Burrito with a side of rice and beans for less than 12$.

    Not as universal as the Big Mac as an economic measure, of course. The
    Mission style burrito that has conquered the national market has rice
    and beans on board. I suppose there's a standard Chipotle order that
    could serve as a benchmark. The Taco Cabana burrito and sides is just
    over $12.

    The Texas standard order would be the enchilada plate.

    What's wrong with you people? If I wanted a rice and bean burrito in an enormous

    Only think worse than a fat burrito stuffed with rice (like it needs more carbs than that tortilla provides) is the offensive california burrito with f'ing potatoes.

    Everyone knows the true measure of a restaurant burrito is the carne asada burrito
    where rice and beans are strictly kept on the side.
    I prefer mine con crema.

    They aren't my favorite either. I do remember getting them in the Bay
    Area pre-Chipotle.

    Burritos are kind of a California thing.

    That sounds good! We're starting to get food trucks offering "San Diego
    style" tacos.

    Just leave out the tortilla and all is well:

    Daygo Fries
    $20.00
    A natives favorite and the staple in Daygo (San Diego, CA)! French fries
    topped with your choice of carne asada, pollo asada or 1/2 and 1/2,

    Costco sells a nice chicken taco kit. Corn tortillas need a quick fry

    Shredded cheese, cabbage, a lime cream sauce, and salsa.
    We add some fresh guacamole, sour cream and pico and it's a feast.
    Only thing better is some fresh caught rock fish fried up for fish tacos.

    If it doesn't serve two, too pricey for me. They do have a carne asada "California burrito" just under $20 with fries and a "619" a couple of
    bucks cheaper and no fries.

    Haven't been.

    San Diego definitely has the advantage there.
