    I’ve lived in California my entire life and I ain’t never heard of a fucking “Mission burrito.” The picture looks like some Tex Mex burrito with the corn in it. Our thing is usually just putting avocado in it. Not to mention the entire state used to be part of Mexico, so if we are gonna be known for burritos, it’s gonna be the authentic Mexican kind.

    There is also no such thing as “California clam chowder.” San Francisco is well known for chowder bowls because they make really good sourdough in San Francisco which they make into bowls and serve New England clam chowder from. I make a point of getting one every time I’m in the city. Absolute best shit.

    Who made this chart? I can’t trust anything on it since the things for my own state are either totally wrong or at least slightly off from reality.

      Mission burritos are what those well stuffed burritos are called; they originated in the San Francisco Mission district, hence the name. Traditional Mexican burritos don’t really look like that.

      But otherwise I’m 100% with you.

        So, like… Just the really big, filled to the brim style? Nothing to do with what’s doing the filling? 🤔

        Yeah, I can see that. Burritos from any truck or locally owned Mexican place around here are like that. Monster sized and absolutely packed with goodness. 🤤 That’s not authentic, tho?

          Sorry, I misspoke. Yes, the Mission style burrito is the overstuffed burrito you see everywhere. But there’s not really an “authentic” Mexican burrito because burritos aren’t Mexican. They’re Tex-Mex.

          I’m not an expert, but here’s a video with some insight:
