The small counter-service restaurant has a menu of standard taqueria fare and was recently crowned by locals as serving the best burrito in San Jose. Angelou’s most popular item is a creation typically found in Southern California taquerias. The California burrito replaces the traditional rice with crispy French fries and includes your choice of meat, cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo, and lettuce all wrapped in a flour tortilla and finished on a flat top grill for a warm and crunchy shell. The result is a delicious, gut-busting combination of flavors and textures. To make things even better, Angelou’s offers two special hot sauces, a chile de arbol-style salsa, and a salsa verde to add a touch of spice and flavor to their already delicious burritos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117285\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor.jpg\" alt=\"A super burrito with al pastor at Angelou’s Mexican Grill.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117285\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A super burrito with al pastor at Angelou’s Mexican Grill. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117284\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Angelou’s Mexican Grill in downtown San Jose.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117284\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Angelou’s Mexican Grill in downtown San Jose. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://angelousmexicangrill.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Angelou's Mexican Grill\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n21 N 2nd St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/JLhD1c\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Jose, CA 95113\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 971-2287\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Thu 9am- 10pm;

Taqueria La Cumbre’s burritos have been featured on numerous food and travel programs and it is easy to see why. The grilled chicken fajita burritos are a must-have for any first visit. The sweet red bell peppers and caramelized onions are a delicious contrast to the bites of smoky chargrilled chicken. For vegetarian burrito enthusiasts, Taqueria La Cumbre has you covered. The fajita vegetable burrito is a delicious medley of sauteed bell peppers, zucchini, onions, carrots, and mushrooms, with cashews for tasty crunch.

The small counter-service restaurant has a menu of standard taqueria fare and was recently crowned by locals as serving the best burrito in San Jose. Angelou’s most popular item is a creation typically found in Southern California taquerias. The California burrito replaces the traditional rice with crispy French fries and includes your choice of meat, cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo, and lettuce all wrapped in a flour tortilla and finished on a flat top grill for a warm and crunchy shell. The result is a delicious, gut-busting combination of flavors and textures. To make things even better, Angelou’s offers two special hot sauces, a chile de arbol-style salsa, and a salsa verde to add a touch of spice and flavor to their already delicious burritos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117285\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor.jpg\" alt=\"A super burrito with al pastor at Angelou’s Mexican Grill.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117285\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrillAlPastor-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A super burrito with al pastor at Angelou’s Mexican Grill. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117284\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Angelou’s Mexican Grill in downtown San Jose.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117284\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/AngelousMexicanGrill-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Angelou’s Mexican Grill in downtown San Jose. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://angelousmexicangrill.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Angelou's Mexican Grill\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n21 N 2nd St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/JLhD1c\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Jose, CA 95113\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 971-2287\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Thu 9am- 10pm;

Taqueria La Cumbre’s burritos have been featured on numerous food and travel programs and it is easy to see why. The grilled chicken fajita burritos are a must-have for any first visit. The sweet red bell peppers and caramelized onions are a delicious contrast to the bites of smoky chargrilled chicken. For vegetarian burrito enthusiasts, Taqueria La Cumbre has you covered. The fajita vegetable burrito is a delicious medley of sauteed bell peppers, zucchini, onions, carrots, and mushrooms, with cashews for tasty crunch.

We’re game to hop on this taco train that is indeed a little more expensive than most versions but exponentially more elaborate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116580\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco.jpg\" alt=\"Thai Red Curry Beef taco\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116580\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thai Red Curry Beef taco \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Speaking of al pastor, possibly the most impressive taco filling is cumin and guajillo dusted rock cod that has nothing to do with al pastor flavor-wise other than the pineapple salsa, but, alas, what’s in a name?

Plants dangle from above contrasting with the exposed concrete ceiling, Mission-style arched walls separate the bar and kitchen from the dining area. Seating ranges from beer garden style benches to a pillow-decked banquette with oversize leaves as the design motif. Outside is a striking new floral mural by the artist Jet Martinez, a soon-to-be Instagram magnet. It’s the background for SF’s new go-to patio, complete with a cactus and reclaimed wood tables (speaking of obligatory trends). Inside or outside, everything is breezy and casual, not unlike how all the nearby SoMa start-ups like to operate their offices. The party is rounded out by a soundtrack ranging from blaring Iggy Azalea and CeeLo Green to the deafening jackhammers of the intersection’s construction. Mestiza will no doubt give LA’s perennially hip Salazar a run for its money in this desert good life design genre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116589\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar.jpg\" alt=\"Mestiza interior with bar area.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116589\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mestiza interior with bar area. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s all surreal.

The lemongrass doesn’t come through. That being said, the preparation is saved in taco form because of the abundant red chiles and peanuts garnish that cover up the chicken. Note to chefs: nuts and tacos are a strong tandem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116583\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-bowl-chix.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-bowl-chix.jpg\" alt=\"Mestiza Bowl with Khmer Lemongrass Chicken.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116583\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-bowl-chix.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-bowl-chix-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-bowl-chix-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-bowl-chix-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-bowl-chix-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-bowl-chix-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-bowl-chix-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-bowl-chix-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-bowl-chix-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-bowl-chix-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mestiza Bowl with Khmer Lemongrass Chicken. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp> \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/menu.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">The menu is customizable\u003c/a> like is so fashionable these days. Diners opt between six proteins (mushrooms and eggplants for the vegetarians) in four forms (taco, burrito, taco shell salad and rice and beans bowl. A pair of salads and a pair of raw seafood cocktails make up cold plate starters, while small plates include pork skewers, soy-saturated Filipino pork belly and sweet plantains. The small plates are called “Palutan,” Filipino for drinking food. Right now alcohol isn’t a main player but hopefully margaritas are in the future cards because the venue screams happy hour loudly. A few beers and wines are offered, along with a hibiscus agua fresca and a mandarin orange agua fresca. Both succeeded in being tart and balanced; not cloyingly sugary. Should you need sugar, dessert awaits with ice cream sandwiches with Mitchell’s Ice Cream or homemade horchata cookies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116607\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/hibiscus-agua-fresca.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/hibiscus-agua-fresca.jpg\" alt=\"Hibiscus Agua Fresca.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116607\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/hibiscus-agua-fresca.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/hibiscus-agua-fresca-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/hibiscus-agua-fresca-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/hibiscus-agua-fresca-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/hibiscus-agua-fresca-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/hibiscus-agua-fresca-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/hibiscus-agua-fresca-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/hibiscus-agua-fresca-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/hibiscus-agua-fresca-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/hibiscus-agua-fresca-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hibiscus Agua Fresca. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What stands out so early in the game for Mestiza are the details on the plate, like a beautifully spice-nuanced julienned vegetable escabeche with the must-order empanadas with more of that pork adobo in a slick masa wrap that’s like a hybrid tamale-croissant dough.

Seating ranges from beer garden style benches to a pillow-decked banquette with oversize leaves as the design motif. Outside is a striking new floral mural by the artist Jet Martinez, a soon-to-be Instagram magnet. It’s the background for SF’s new go-to patio, complete with a cactus and reclaimed wood tables (speaking of obligatory trends). Inside or outside, everything is breezy and casual, not unlike how all the nearby SoMa start-ups like to operate their offices. The party is rounded out by a soundtrack ranging from blaring Iggy Azalea and CeeLo Green to the deafening jackhammers of the intersection’s construction.

Indeed, the history of the burrito is a muddled one. Researchers have traced their origin to central Mexico in 1895 — likely the clever, practical result of wrapping just-cooked food in a tortilla to keep it warm — but they only exist today in the northern part of the country, the province of flour tortillas (as opposed to corn). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout Chihuahua, for example, you’ll find small burritos of thin (and not super-glutinous) tortillas wrapped around just two ingredients: meat or fish and beans or potatoes. In other words, a real burrito doesn’t resemble anything we find today in the Bay Area.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=\"news_11678823,bayareabites_114118\"]\u003cbr>\nThat said, we sure do eat a lot of them. Burritos in the U.S. have experienced much the same fate as has pizza in North American hands: anything goes. More traditional Mexican restaurants have developed their own burrito styles within the general parameters of rice, beans, and animal protein, while less traditional are all over the map in terms of fillings. Both tend to be enormous, enough for two or more people to share, and both styles are discussed here, primarily because the latter offer more variety for vegetarians. And I haven’t considered tortillas at all, as I have yet to find a flour tortilla in a burrito joint that I would recommend on its own merit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the sake of consistent comparison, I primarily tried carne asada and carnitas burritos, but also went for promising vegetarian options and pursued a few one-off standouts recommended by friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an Oakland-heavy list because of its destination neighborhood for Mexican food, Fruitvale. Berkeley gets a few hits in the traditional department as well, and the more experimental vegetarian styles tend to appear in the hipster lands of downtown Oakland and West Berkeley.

Indeed, the history of the burrito is a muddled one. Researchers have traced their origin to central Mexico in 1895 — likely the clever, practical result of wrapping just-cooked food in a tortilla to keep it warm — but they only exist today in the northern part of the country, the province of flour tortillas (as opposed to corn). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout Chihuahua, for example, you’ll find small burritos of thin (and not super-glutinous) tortillas wrapped around just two ingredients: meat or fish and beans or potatoes.

Burritos in the U.S. have experienced much the same fate as has pizza in North American hands: anything goes. More traditional Mexican restaurants have developed their own burrito styles within the general parameters of rice, beans, and animal protein, while less traditional are all over the map in terms of fillings. Both tend to be enormous, enough for two or more people to share, and both styles are discussed here, primarily because the latter offer more variety for vegetarians. And I haven’t considered tortillas at all, as I have yet to find a flour tortilla in a burrito joint that I would recommend on its own merit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the sake of consistent comparison, I primarily tried carne asada and carnitas burritos, but also went for promising vegetarian options and pursued a few one-off standouts recommended by friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an Oakland-heavy list because of its destination neighborhood for Mexican food, Fruitvale.
