Midwest cheese water burritos are so sad.
Well then… That is something for sure…
Not sure if it should be brough out back and shot or simply… Burned with kerosene…
“Mexican”
I’m scared…
what is it? the sauce and toppings?.
DISGUSTANG
It looks like pineapple to me, but … that can’t be right.
Is that pineapple chunks on top?
Yes
I’m so sorry.
You never seen a Hawaiian Burrito?
Hawaiiana
I’ve got a Mexican place by me that has a Hawaiiana Torta… I’m a bit curious.
The pics of the tacos look legit.
Damn, food is expensive these days.
I see you, Pleasant Hill
Did they immediately bring you the check after? Maybe they were trying to get rid of you.
Served up a plate of gtfo.
i would have looked them dead in the eye, said no, and walked out. there’s no coming back from actually being presented something like that.
I never thought of pineapple on a burrito. Next time I make one I definitely going to add pineapple. Seems really good.
I am British and even our food has more colour and variety than this.
This post has taken the gutter crown of “worst burrito” away from the one time my friend ordered a burrito with no salsa, guac, cheese, beans, or vegetables. Man just wanted some beef and rice in a tortilla, and nothing else
We are indeed British
Why didn’t he just save time and buy a funnel
Ok, maybe it was a pastor cheese burrito?
That’s all I got. It’s still disgusting thinking about.
It’s a crêpe right? That’s a condensed milk on top right? There are fruits inside right?
It’s a burrito. And that’s cheese.

Looks like maybe it was the burrito Pepe.
Burrito Pepe
One burrito filled with choice of grilled chicken, steak or carnitas, rice, black beans, pineapple chunks and chipotle sauce, topped with smoked gouda sauce. $14.99A Pepe it was for sure
15 moneyz for this abomination of “food”? Is this the “freedom” I’ve heard so much about? Is the price at least final? Or is service fee, tip, taxes and whatnot added?
Smoked gouda sauce!?!?!? With every new word it kept getting worse.
I love me a good smoked gouda cheese, but I wouldn’t put it anywhere near a Mexican dish.
That’s the one.
Well I got news for you… Your friend ordered that…
It’s not like they just serve up whatever it is they have that day.
Who tried to make an abomination of al pastor? Jesus Christ burn this person
Does pineapple belong in/on any Mexican food?
I have never seen anything like this before.
Yeah, al pastor is pork on a skewer with a pineapple glaze/marinade. It’s to die for.
There’s nothing like a good al pastor, and that is nothing like a good al pastor.
It sure does, Al Pastor is a very popular taco variant which features pineapple as an ingredient.
pineapple chunks
And people think putting pineapple on pizza should be a crime. This is the real crime. Pineapple in a burrito.
grilled pineapple is good. the reason i don’t like pineapple on pizza is beacuse it makes pizza soggy, not the taste.
It seems a lot like a Maritime-style donair, which often has pineapple and a sweet sauce. Pretty similar concept of a thing in a flatbread shell.
I’d argue pineapple (especially grilled) is actually really good in a burrito, if not “authentic”. The issue here is that it’s on the burrito, and the burrito looks terrible to begin with.
Is that the pineapple? At first I thought it was macaroni, and after reading the description I thought it was chunks of Gouda.
Was there a single person of hispanic descent who works there?
Everyone I saw working there appeared hispanic. I was visiting a very white part of Virginia though. The restaurant was called “Mr Pepe”:
Whenever I want good food in VA I go through Annandale. Best Salvadoran and Vietnamese food around.
Darn. That’s such a bummer. Good mexican food is top tier and incredible. Sucks to see the abomination that you posted.
Doesn’t matter, the mexican restaurant in my 30% hispanic town owned by a Mexican family serves shit like this to cater to the rich white yuppies that come to my town to cosplay blue collar living. I go to the hole in the wall 2 blocks away to get legit food.
I’ve been to plenty of Mexican restaurants staffed entirely by lationos that served white people Mexican.
Even specifying what you’d like doesn’t seem to help lol. You just have to accept it.
Haha yes fair. I was just being snarky.
I grew up in New Mexico, we call the New Mexican food here Mexican. I moved to PA and later Maryland, I was very surprised at the difference in food and what was called Mexican. After I while I realized there was a huge difference between New Mexican, everything uses locally grown chile, similar to Anaheim chile. Versus the other stuff which uses a lot of poblano, and other types of chile.
And then there was the places that served white peoples Mexican food. Maryland crab enchilada was the worst I think.
Fellow New Mexican checking in; our food always incorporates a hatch chile sauce of one (or both) colors, and hot damn is it tasty! Having chile with every meal is probably the thing I miss about NM the most (after my parents, ofc). New Mexican food is its own category, separate from Mexican food.
We do Lemitar, or San Antonio chile here. Hatch only when the other two are not available.
If you are interested in exploring the multiplicity of Mexican foods, you should watch Pati Jinich. Her shows are travelogue/cooking, but her background is in poli-sci so it’s always as much about the culture as the food:
Sounds interesting, found her on youtube too:
