    What is going on. I just begin to slowly recuperate from the trauma of learning that people put c*** into shepherd's pies,  I begin to get my blood pressure back to normal and am innocently scanning the day's newspaper and some barbarian only posts a recipe for vegan lentil and celeriac shepherd's pie.

     

    What kind of shepherd herds lentils?

    At least there is none of the c-word in it. But really?

     

     

    My understanding is that a true shepherd's pie should contain lamb. If it uses something else instead, then it really has to be called something else. Hence "cottage pie" for beef.

    Hmm, what should we call a vegetarian pie?

    In case you are still on this journey :) Rigoberto's, in Milwaukie, which is just south of Portland, has them. The owners are from San Diego. http://rigobertotacoshop.com/menu

     

    As a side note- I lived in SD for 40 years and one of the only things I miss is the Mexican food! I loved Lucha Libre, especially the Champs booth with the masks. But what I really miss is all the mariscos places in Chula Vista...

     

    Wonderful! I may go there before the end of the year.

  3. I actually found a little taqueria in Sacramento that also has these burritos.

     

    Many may not be aware that it is quite common for taquerias to sell french fries (known as "papas"), such as in carne asada fries. Americans don't have a monopoly on fried potatoes! So it's really not much of a stretch to put those fries into a burrito. If you were going to get some fries anyway, this makes for a convenient handheld meal.

    Next, Memo's Mexican Restaurant, the Tacoma location.

    They have something called the Washington Burrito, which is very close to what I was looking for. It has thin french fries in it, with steak pieces and melted cheese. What a great combination of flavors! I've attached a photo for those who may be curious.

    I had another one of these a couple weeks ago, and it was fantastic!

    I wish they could put shrimp in it, too. Then it would be just like the ones I get in SoCal.

    In the coming months I will try to taste and document all California-style burritos I find in the northwest. This is my never-ending quest.

     

    First up, El Burrito Loco in Renton, WA.

    They use crinkle-cut fries. It was OK, I guess. But the seasonings were not nearly as tasty as the places in San Diego. The meat I chose was pastor, and the flavor just didn't jump out at me. If I find myself in the area I might go there for lunch, but it's not exactly a top destination for me.

    I forgot to include a picture from the place in Renton. Here you go!

    Taco Bell has been doing a low end version of the Cali burrito for some time ...

     

    I haven't had that exact thing from Taco Bell (not my favorite place). But I have had burritos with pan-fried potato cubes, and there's just *no* comparison with actual french fries, especially if the burrito also has perfectly seasoned carne asada, grilled shrimp, avocados, and a rich cream.
