        A good burrito with decent beans and a good flavor, but the whole thing is pretty small, and at 2.50, expensive for the size.  They grill the tortilla, which is a big plus for me, because that's how I do it at home.<br/>Tags: burrito<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/290252">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Some Truck</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        I took a risk on some truck that parked here.  They didn't know what a B&C was.  I had to explain it, then try again in really bad Spanish.  They concluded I meant vegetarian, and proceeded to make a B&C with onions, lettuce, and sauce.  Oh well.  It was pretty good for a truck.  The onions are good to add.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/1302209">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        <![CDATA[
        I grew up on these delicious B&C burritos here, they are really one of the best around. I try one maybe every 2-3 years as I don't like to eat lard (I'm vegetarian) but sometimes I just can't resist, they are really good. They don't use whole beans, instead they are liquefied thus the cheese melts in nicely. This really is comfort food to me. I might do a separate post just on these burritos, I'll put a link here when I do.

<title>Tacos Oaxaca (a truck)</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Do they even like tacos in Oaxaca?  The first B&C they did for me was not very good, and I panned them on this map - cold cheese, too-hard beans, lots of onions.  A few tries later, however, they have really upped the quality, and their mix of bean and cheese is much better, plus they go easy on the onions.  They use whole beans that are nice and soft, and a white cheese.  Their meat tacos are also very good.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/2100889">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        This shop is a drive thru, mainly, but the stainless steel bench-and-tables in front are pretty cool.  You can see the cars roll down the street, pretty close to your face.  I didn't get the B&C, so this post isn't totally legit, but, I did get a bean tostada.  It was a small challenge, because the woman taking the order didn't believe I wanted it without meat.  (I nibbled on my friend's carnitas, and it was good. Maybe people just get meat there.)  Anyway, the tostada was okay, but too heavy on the cheese, and too light on the beans.  The tortilla was fresh fried.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/857258">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        Excellent B&C with good beans.  I think they use lard to make these beans.  Low price.  Right now, it's my favorite stand.<br>
<br>
Their other burritos are less great.  The Chile Relleno is a little too eggy.  The Green Chile is good, and the cooked down peppers are better than a sauce.  The Tostada burrito is basically like the Del Taco Veggie Works, but a little better.<br>
<br>
Most people seem to come here for the taquitos, and get 2 or 3 orders.<br/>Tags: burrito<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/290237">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        They have a decent B&C, but not as good as the one in LH.  I should note that they use white mexican cheese.  It's unpredictable which cheese any given stand will use.  Yellow cheddar is the standard cheese at most "American" stands, or older places, but white seems to be the type at the more "Mexican" places.  It's one of those things, I guess.  At least this stand knew about a B&C.  Some of the shops that cater mainly to immigrants don't know the B&C, and make mistakes like rolling it up with whole beans and onions (which tastes pretty good, nonetheless).<br/>Tags: burrito<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/290248">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        I wonder what's up with EPL.  There are a few that are awesome, where you get all this *service* and it's really clean, like beyond fast-food.  This one isn't one of those.  They aren't that good at keeping the tables clean, or the salsa cold.  At least the food tastes ok.  The usual order for B&Cers is the BRC, which puts some rice into the mix.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/1664199">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        <![CDATA[
        This is part of the chain, but it did a lot better than the one in S. El Monte.  For one thing, the cheese was melted.  The beans were okay too.  The only thing is, I don't think they really do the B&C, and most people get the meat, because I got the "are you sure?" question.  I don't think the B&C was even on the menu.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/857256">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>El Atacor</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Yes, there's another El Atacor down the street.  This one seems to be unaffiliated, with it.  It seems like there are separate legions of El Atacor shops, and this one is affiliated with one in Pico Rivera (across from Home Depot).  Anyway, I did get a B&C here, and it was expensive and small, but memorably good, with molten cheese.  It was over $3, but no larger than the B&C at the top rated J&S.  This is a white cheese burrito.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/857260">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Taco Nazo</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Taco Nazo moved from the mall across the street, ending the quirky phenomenon of a taco shop located in an Asian mall that looked like a huge Buddhist temple. Taco Nazo specializes in fish tacos, but I got a B&C.  White cheese, as is the new tradition out here, and a little pricey, but it was a big one.  The cheese wasn't overpowering, either, just the way I like it.  It was runny, which is a plus for me, for some reason.  They also provide these baked chiles with salt and pepper, for free, and they probably helped boost the overall experience.  (Their fish tacos are really good, too.)

The only downside is that it's $3 for a B&C.  Kinda pricey.

(I think I may have made an error with the location on the map.)<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/857262">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Molcasalsa at the Montebello Town Center food court</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        I asked for a bean burrito with a little cheese, and that is what I got.  They do a good job overall, and the beans are pretty good.  There were a few sub-creamy beans, but overall, it was a good batch.  They also grill the tortilla, so it's flaky.  That's a new thing I'm starting to notice, and like.  The best part is the price of $2.50, which, for this mall, is a really good deal.  For some reason, most of the food court stands are kind of expensive and mediocre.  (I found a blog post about a related shop in La Habra.  The food is kind of similar.)

If you're a vegetarian, the neighboring booth, Massis Kabob, has falafel.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/869614">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        <![CDATA[
        I haven't had a B&C here in a few years, and my tastes have become more refined.  I think it was okay, but don't really recall.  So it must not have been that good.  I'll go and check it out again, for this map.   They make a decent shrimp coctail, and have good chips.  They were the first burrito I had that put a bag of frozen peas-and-carrots into the meat.  The restaurant's been there around ten years, now, without any radical changes.  That's a good sign.  Also, nearby is Miki Chan's, a good quasi-Hawaiian restaurant that's had its ups and downs for around 30 years.  It's having an "up" the past few, with a good owner.  They have an awesome Hawaiian chow mein that you're not going to find at the other Hawaiian fast food places.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/869621">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Del Taco</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        For several years, I was addicted to the Veggie Works burrito.  It was a dot-com thing, where I was working so hard, and had to get something to eat at odd hours.  Del Taco was open, and the VW was awesome.  Now, I've learned that it's one of the fattiest, saltiest, and generally least healthy burritos they sell.  What's up with that?  It's "veggie."  Their chicken burritos are better for you.  If you ignore the health factors, the VW is awesome.  It's got a lot of sour cream and avocado sauce from a can. The beans are so-so.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/869624">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Dos Burritos</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Added for completeness, but I can't recall what I had.  The curtido was surprisingly yummy.  Maybe it wasn't, but I wasn't so critical at the time.  I don't know.  I've had the little B&C bowl thing, and it was okay.

The best part about the DB chain is the interior, which they never seem to update.  It looks like the 1970s.  Los Angeles might be the alternate universe of food, where the food is good, but the interiors are ugly and outdated.  It's almost like a formula -- if you see it's kind of generic decor, but crowded, you know the food is good.  (Ever see an empty Zankou Chicken or Sam Woo?)  If it looks good inside, and is crowded, there's some risk involved.  (e.g. PF Changs or any Patina restaurant.)  If it's attractive and not busy.  LOLz.  Might as well burn your money, or PayPal it directly to the interior decorator.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/875271">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Taco Kingdom</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        It's true what they say about the peasant diet in feudal monarchies: the food is not very good.  I had to wonder, is King Taco the monarch of this Kingdom, or is this the domain of another?<br>
<br>
The B&C had a pretty good texture, but the flavor was off. It was pasty, not creamy.  The cheese was not fully melted, but the combination was fine.  They provide a much needed container of sauce, which makes the burrito taste more like a taco.<br>
<br>
Maybe what this kingdom needs is a Magna Carta of beans, a more democratic system where the eaters can tell the rulers how to make the beans.  Power to the people. <br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/877601">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        This burrito has a surprise: potatoes.<br>
<br>
The overall mix is pretty good, but not great.  The potatoes have been over-salted, and lack the puffiness that makes for great potatoes.  Still, it's a nice surprise.  The beans are okay, but not that special.  Just barely okay at that.   They just get a boost for trying the potatoes.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/929506">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>King Taco</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        I don't go to KT much, for whatever reason.  It's kind of expensive compared, and it's hit or miss on the quality.  The B&C was okay - I asked for the onions, cilantro, and salsa, and that was a mistake, because those ingredients cooled down the cheese.  The beans weren't hot enough to melt the mass.

KT uses good ingredients; their tortilla is nice and soft, and tastes good.  Their beans are so-so, but not canned.  The ingredients tend to compensate for a burrito with too little bean, a little too much other stuff, and kind of small overall considering it's $3.25.

Their red salsa tastes really good.  It's hot, so get it on the side.  Their chips suck though.  Stay away.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/969742">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Super Burrito</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        This shack had a major build up in the local press for years, and they tacked one of the articles up on the wall.  I got the chile relleno burrito, because I was very hungry.  Unfortunately, it wasn't that good.  It was okay, but, a little on the cold side.  The cheese wasn't in the proper, runny, molten state.  Pasadena food is mediocre.  Long-standing, mediocre restaurants, combined with a loyal, indiscriminate clientele, and high startup costs, assure that new competition will have a hard time getting established.  Corporations take note: ignore the local's stated aversion to chain products - because that's what they will take.  Just relabel it to deceive them.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/857265">Map this on Platial</a><br />
