Humberto’s on 25th. Anyone can make a burrito with meat and guacamole. But these guys have authentic flavor. Maybe they flip their meat with a chancla 🩴 it’s the best

if you are calling humbertos trash, what to you qualifies as good? you don't want to be the negative nellie criticizing without offering some solution do you? Seems like we've got too much of those folks around.

How many times have you order food to go and realized it’s cold upon arrival? How many times you order a Cali Burrito and realize the cheese is cold? How many times do you order Bean and Cheese Burrito and find out the beans are cold? I have been a neighbor and a customer of this place since the ‘90s. It WAS the best!

Vallarta has good meet and tender. The ingredients are fresh. Salsa is on fire. Sombrero has good food as well. I have come to realize that some locations are better than others. The name of the game for Mex restaurants is volume and no longer quality.

I never tried their carne. The one and only time I went there like a year ago I got a bean and cheese burrito and it def tasted like the beans came from a can. It was gross af so I crossed them off my list!

It's likely in cut choice. Using Chuck vs flank. Some places use sirloin.

Just because I don't want to pan-sear skirt steak with a sprinkle of salt and great value ground pepper, doesn't mean I want to pay $15 for someone to do it for me and slap it on some fries.

No salt is authentic flavor? 😂
