Mexican restaurants can be confusing.
Garbled pseudo-Spanish describing what is basically the same ingredients combined slightly differently covers bright menus. It seems like every time I goto a Mexican place (very often), I find some new kind of food that I have never even heard of. Then there is the wall of words that is the combinations. Combo's 1 through 100 include every possible combination of rice, beans, tacos, burritos and enchiladas. Every possible combination, other than the one you want, of course.
Fear not, because I have a fool proof strategy that will put you from last one ready to order to eating chips and salsa while your dinner-mates stare dumbfounded at a new menu.
There are a few universal truths in this world: death, taxes and every Mexican restaurant has a superlative burrito.
Superlative Burrito noun. A burrito designated as the finest, greatest, and largest at a Mexican restaurant. Is always named in the format: 'superlative' burrito. e.g. "super burrito" "grande burrito" "burrito deluxe" "crazy burrito"
This order is always good, always. I have never been disappointed by a superlative burrito, especially not in Nashville this past weekend. Maybe it had something to do with the 6 hour mountain bike race, but I was hungry. The burrito deluxe at Las Maracas combined with way too much chips and salsa was the perfect cap on the day.
