This makes sense.
This man is a Saint, the best thing about Los Angeles, and an amazing human being.
Breaks my heart.
I mean, look at this LA burrito crap. You're really going to support this?
"Best breakfast burrito" according to LA Weekly. Blarph.
Word. Hell, I've had better burritos in Boston than the garbage can refuse they call burritos in LA
I agree, rice can go in any burrito and not effect it. I'm a fan of pineapple on some pizza, but it doesn't belong on all pizza. I guess the case could be said for rice? Except it's flavor profile easily stays out of the way unlike pineapple.
Also a burrito is all filler, unlike a pizza that is not all about toppings.
Come, be my close pizza friend.

Burritos don't have rice, period. Beans don't belong on a burrito either, unless it's a bean burrito.
Just like real tacos have no business with cheese, lettuce or tomato.
There should be another name for that kind of food sort of like wraps.

Sorry Op you are wrong. You might as well say I don't like cheese or sauce so putting it on a pizza is wrong.

Burrito without rice? So the OP wants a taco?
To be fair, in here most of the burritos don't have rice, that seems more like a Tex-Mex thing to me

Holy thread backfire, Batman!
Rice is perfectly fine in a burrito.

A little bit of rice in a burrito is good, but when the filling is mostly rice it dulls the taste of what should be the main ingredients.
Rice is acceptable in a sushirrito, however.
There's a food truck in socal that makes these and they are damn good!
Why not just have a bowl of chilli?

I just looked up the Jogasaki truck... looks like they're mostly Whittier/Diamond Bar and occasionally Santa Monica. Damn.

Your first mistake is going to LA Weekly to find a good burrito. Your second mistake is not condensing all of the greater LA County into LA. I can tell you Pomona CA has some bomb ass Mexican food.

It may not be created by Taco Bell.. but it's definitely a Taco Bell thing.
This part is logical though. Except accepting that Pineapple can ever be on a Pizza. I mean it can be in the same way that you can stick your tongue in an electric socket but it's always a bad idea.

Why would you cherry pick a breakfast burrito of all things? LA's best burritos aren't going to be on any published "best of" lists because they're not trendy little foody spots. They're the small regular ass hole in the wall spots with simple ass signs out front that say "Mexican Food." You'll recognize them as the spots where old hispanic men who have no wife go to eat every night. Those are the LA spots with the best Mexican food.
I'd say it's more like bread in a bread. But after I tried it it wasn't bad.
I was just gonna say that's a Shawarma staple.
Cheese and sauce are incredibly important to the flavor of a pizza, while rice is not important at all in the flavor of a burrito. They aren't comparable.

Taco Bell can go fuck themselves lol.
It's not a Taco Bell thing because they finally caught on to the greatness of a California Burrito. lol
By this backward logic, hamburgers/sloppy joes are a taco bell thing.

According to their calendar they'll be in USC and Pasadena this weekend. Not hard to reach unless you live somewhere without access to a freeway or something.

Probably the most incorrect OP i've ever seen. Goddamn
California Burritos are from San Diego.
They are carne asada, french fries, sour cream, and cheese. Some places put guacamole in there also. After you pour some hot sauce on there, it's one of the best burritos you'll ever have.
Is that hambruger? Gross.
I grew up in San Diego as well. You could get beans, rice, and cheese burritos at the Berto Brothers (Robertos, Albertos, etc) taco shops, although bean and cheese was more standard. El Pollo Loco does BRC as their standard "bean burrito", although it's El Pollo Loco so who really cares.

I grew up in San Diego, grew up on San Diego Mexican food, grew up on carne asada burritos with meat, guac, sometimes salsa fresca, sometimes cheese. Never rice in the burrito.
Rice in a burrito affects the eating experience, including the texture and overall flavor combination you're experiencing at that moment in time. I like to keep the meat and rice separate because once guac and salsa is added, it starts to meld together and become mushy. I'm not a fan of mushy rice.
Carne asada burrito with rice on the side, please.

RE: burritos. If you eat them in a wrapper, rice it is. If you eat them on a plate, rice and beans on the side. They are two completely different experiences, but both can be great.
And the worst thing - the worst - is that these dudes always have the gall to grab a few slices of plain or sausage or whatever. "Oh, I was only hungry for one slice of pineapple, I assumed everyone else would eat the rest." Motherfucker if you order pineapple you better eat every damn slice before you go touching the community pies.

Nonsense. I don't like a ton of meat, beans, cheese etc. in mine. I don't want to to be too much rice, but some rice is great IMO. Especially if it's brown rice.
And Hawaiian pizza is my favorite type, other than maybe some good veggie only ones. A local place has a great one with artichoke and sundried tomatoes.

It's a Taco Bell thing by virtue of the silly ass nature of putting french fries inside a burrito. It sits on a menu next to Cool Ranch tacos, Fritos filled burritos, bootleg ass Churros, tacos made with Pita bread and Burritos that filling wrapped with an actual quesadilla... and it's not at all out of the ordinary.
At best it's a "fusion" food that's on the silly side. At worst it's a chef creation similar to stuffing a Jack in the Box taco inside a breakfast sandwich. It definitely meets the criteria for a "Taco Bell thing."
What does this even mean? I've never even heard of a Taco Bell serving burgers or sloppy joes.

It should be. Bread and Gata are taking things too far. This couple has ruined the integrity of NeoGAF. We must put an end to their madness.
Pineapple on pizza may not be the best, but it's acceptable every now and then. Rice in burritos may not be your cup of tea, but it should be acceptable.
Bill Belichick did nothing wrong
This is not surprising at all, because you don't know what you're talking about.
rice in a burrito isnt bad if it doesnt overpower the whole thing and its threads like these that expose people! california burritos are fucking delicious the people who says its nasty probably havent tried it but its a burrito with fries and shit, you cant go wrong with that. putting pineapple on pizza should be a crime. there is no excuse to like that monstrosity. the only bad thing that people regularly put in burritos is cilantro
