I'm not a big burrito guy myself. Unless I can get them without beans. I don't like-a da beans. But if I do want a burrito, I generally hit a place called Fuzzy's Tacos. Fuzzy's is an interesting story. The first Fuzzy's, which is still around, opened up just off the campus of TCU (you could literally stand outside Fuzzy's a throw a rock across the street and have it land in the TCU bookstore parking lot). It became pretty popular with students initially I think because it gave them and interesting late night food and drink option. Over the years they've expanded and they are popping up all over the country. I think they are opening a couple in Colorado, but that's about as far west as they've gotten.
They wacky thing about Fuzzy's is it really isn't Tex-Mex so much as it's more West Coast Mex. One of their signature items is their Baja tacos. I can't get enough of the chips and queso and I'll devour a gigantic plate of brisket nachos without thinking twice.
If any of ya'll come out to Fort Worth for the game here, I'd suggest Fuzzy's.

---

Interesting. I'm not a huge burrito guy either but when I get them I get them without rice. Can't stand the rice in my burrito. As the Mission burrito was "invented" across the bay in the Mission District of San Francisco, my preference makes me an oddity.

As long as we all agree Northern California burritos are better than Southern California burritos... and by extension all other burritos. I can't imagine anyone on any of these boards disagreeing with that non-controversial statement.

As a guy who does like a good burrito, this is some serious burrito sacrilege right here. Making a burrito without rice is virtually un-American (or Mexican-American). And no, do not post telling me that the burrito was invented in the US and not Mexico blah, blah, blah.

Burritos = NorCal

I'm a Northern California guy all the way (I even hate the term NorCal!) but I'm with Southern California on burritos. Beans and Rice are just filler. I can live with beans but rice is a deal breaker. One area where I really differ with my Southern California brothers and sisters is on refried beans vs whole beans. I have never been a fan of refried beans.

Brisket nachos? That's not Tex-Mex?

I expect a full report on Fuzzy's from somebody after we play at TCU.

Rice is fine in a burrito but the Chipotle's of the world overdo it (likely because it's cheaper). A great burrito should have a little of everything but not too much of anything. The best burritos are made in Southern California. Particularly, inland Southern California where city folk don't mess them up too much with their fancy fashions and health kicks.

I always request half rice and half beans (preferably black) and that does the trick for me. Extra cilantro too, thank you very much. And let's go with fresh diced jalapeno over pickled jalapeno while we're at it.

Nachos must have only three ingredients: hot tortilla chips, aged cheddar and jalapeno. Anything else is something other than nachos and Ignacio Anaya, the creator of nachos, would back me up on that. It's fine if you want to load things up with meat or guacamole or sour cream...that's your business, I'm not here to judge. But you're not eating nachos. And thank you to El Cholo in LA for upholding the sacred tradition of the original nachos.

Frankly I'm happy there's differences between NorCal and SoCal Mexican food because IT'S ALL GOOD and plenty and it's not that different really. Definitely like Mission burritos but tacos rule in SoCal, especially Baja Fish Tacos, which I won't even bother with up here ($5+ and tiny). SoCal still has many good mom and pop places where you can eat like a king for not much. SF and Berkeley not so much...Oakland doing okay here. And the gap has closed because you can now get good tacos/burritos on I-5 going between the two places. The rivalry stuff is fun and goofy but really, no complaints except I can no longer drop a 2,000 calories Mission burrito at 12 midnight. Now it's a couple of tacos before 8 p.m. YMMV.

This is a bad take. Can pizza only be served as it was first served? Are we not watching football because the game now has the forward pass, but didn't when it was invented? Is the Constitution not the Constitution because we have added amendments since it was first ratified?

Chips. Melted cheese. Any other toppings you want. You got nachos. What would you suggest it be called? Pulled pork melted cheese chips? C'mon.

I'm known to walk out of a Mexican food restaurant if they only serve black beans and don't have pinto or refried beans available. I grew up eating Mexican food but never had black beans in a burrito until a freshman year visit to Zona Rosa in Berkeley. I felt like I had moved away to Mars.

I don't think meat belongs on nachos, but I'm ok with other ingredients. That's a personal preference. Black beans in a burrito is not a matter of personal preference. I draw the line on that.

I'm not here to deprive you of eating anything you might want to eat. But words oiught to mean something especially when it comes to food, and we've gone way too far in stripping words of actual descriptive meaning. Words like "artisanal" and "handcrafted" and "farm to table" used to actually signify something. There was a time too when tapas meant it was Spanish food. I'm simply advocating for stopping the dangerous creep of lazily stripping culinary words of actual meaning. But also, chips, cheese and jalapeo is the best way to experience "nachos" anyway and we nacho purists need to hold the line, just as the French have held the line on what constitutes champagne.

But nachos with meat on them are not so *******ized of what you are advocating as the only true nacho so as to render the term meaningless. The base is the same: chips, melted cheese. And if someone puts, for example, pulled pork on nachos they always say so on the menu: pulled pork nachos. This tells the customer that a modification has been made, but still conveys to anyone reading what they'll be ordering, and does not strip the word nacho of its meaning.

So is there anything football related on the TCU boards about our upcoming game or the DB we stole from them?

I hear you and think this is a fair point. A qualifier of some sort at least sends a message to the consumer that they are not getting an authentic version of the product. Not ideal, but acceptable. When you go to Taco Bell and order a Doritos Taco Loco, you can safely asssune you're not getting a traditional taco comprised of a corn tortilla, meat, onion and cilantro but rather some loco version of a taco. There's no deception there (other than that Taco Bell sells actual "food"). But what I find difficult to swallow (but literally and figuratively) is when something is described as "nachos" with no qualifier and it's some horrendous glob of chips, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, ground beef (gasp), olives (***??), etc. Thats the kind of abomination that probably makes Ignacio Anaya roll over in his grave and wish he'd never created the dish in the first place.

I'm sorry, PtownBear: I've said my peace about nachos and will (likely) stick to football the rest of the way on this thread. Bear in mind though, that nachos were invented on the Mexico/Texas border near Eagle Pass, TX only a few hundred miles from Ft Worth so I suspect our friends from TCU likely have some strong opinions on nachos as well.

I'm sorry, PtownBear: I've said my peace about nachos and will (likely) stick to football the rest of the way on this thread. Bear in mind though, that nachos were invented on the Mexico/Texas border near Eagle Pass, TX only a few hundred miles from Ft Worth so I suspect our friends from TCU likely have some strong opinions on nachos as well.

You esoteric nachos purists almost killed this thread. Good job.

I like burritos. Actually, I love burritos.

I like the really large burritos. I usually prefer them long and thick. The girth of a burrito really adds to the satisfaction, if it's thick enough. I like the burritos that are firm - the ones that won't just go limp if you put it sideways.

I don't really care for the wrap...ive tried ones with the white wrap, red wrap, yellow wrap. Black wrap. Don't care. It's all the same to me.

The juicy burritos are the best. You know what I'm talking about...the ones that you bite into and juices just flow into your mouth.

Yummy.

So you're a size queen that hates the wrapper? Okay, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.

And juicy - don't forget juicy.
