CaptainScraps posted:That is a lie. Burritos are a fine change of pace from tacos every so often, but the true king of Mexican food is the torta, and only if it is served on an awesome crunchy bolillo that you can cram lots of hot rear end-sauce onto without it getting soggy.4 Sure, everyone knows that tortas are amazing "authentic" Mexican food, but the Mission burrito is a king in its own right. Sometimes innovations are delicious.

Also quality ranges like anything else but if you're in PB hit Albertos. They use fresh cut fries. Ask for them well done. Alternatively, get the carne asada fries, mow on them shits, then hit the beach for nap time E: For a fun spot hit Lucha Libre in Mission Hills.

One of my favorites, from one of those 24-hr. pre-fab mini-barn-shaped food stands: the Chile Relleno Burrito, featuring two chiles rellenos, sauce and some beans. Great stuff. I basically can't bring myself to eat Mexican except when I'm back home in SD -- it just doesn't seem worth the time, calories or effort in most places (this is even worse overseas). Also, had my first California Burrito at the chow hall in Baghdad last year. On Mexican day we stood in line for fajitas, then walked over to the short-order bar for fries. Yum.

Move to the southeast if you want to bitch about "no true burrito" Yeah, it's true. On Top Chef this season, people were aghast at the guy from Wilmington, NC making an enchilada with a flour tortilla because "that's just the way they do it where [he's] from." But that really is the way they do it there, he's not lying. You basically cannot get any Mexican food worth a poo poo anywhere in the Southeast.

Alternatively, you may murder an innocent Halibut, but they take longer to get to a taco. In conclusion, the sexiest taco meat is man-murdered man-meat.

I <3 The Law too, buddy. But you can drop the "lol I'm messed up because I like the law." These cats aren't nearly as cool as you think they are for making GBS threads on liking law school, so you can stop trying to straddle that line. Also, you aren't really sick until you have a disease that either makes your dick burn when you pee or you're discussing the various methods of shoving tampons soaked in vodka up your rear end to achieve the quickest method to blunt the pain of reality. Do you shove tampons up your rear end? I think you just enjoy learning about a New Thing. One day this may grow into a greater appreciation for dealing with -- on a daily basis -- some aspect of the legal world. Or maybe you'll realize that that's a crock and you were just enjoying learning about New Things. But in the meanwhile, before the weight of reality comes crashing down on you, it's okay to like thinking through hypotheticals. In short, I don't think you shove tampons up your rear end.

There's a ton in Fruitvale in Oakland, they're almost all great. Alternatively you could just go to the Mission in SF. Edit: you're at Berkeley, right? Didn't they just build a new Gordo's on Telegraph? I remember the Gordo's on College being fairly good, maybe you'll have luck there if you don't want to haul your rear end all the way out to Oakland or SF.

These cats aren't nearly as cool as you think they are for making GBS threads on liking law school, so you can stop trying to straddle that line. You kinda went down Crazy Alley on your way from Point A to Point B... Seriously what the hell are you talking about? Someone asked me the other day if I enjoyed law school and I just chuckled. Here is a story: near the end of my 3L year, after a long grueling experience at GULC where I faced down depression every single day, I discovered that GULC's chapel has a prayer wall. (Despite being an atheist, I was so depressed that I went into the chapel to give myself a moment in a calm and peaceful environment.) The prayer wall is in a tiny room off the atrium to the chapel, and it usualy has a candle burning in it but no other light. On the prayer wall I read prayers for your typical problems - sickness, love, death of a loved one, etc. But the majority of prayers basically said (I'm paraphrasing here) "oh God, please help me I hate law school so much." I am not kidding. I remember reading note after note written by directionless law students who felt hopeless and despondent. It was kind of sad but at the time it made me feel better because I knew I wasn't the only one.

I just got the sense that a lot of people here hate their life choices and do everything to warn others off. Just trying to show a little optimism. There certainly is a novelty aspect to it. I just feel a little out of the ordinary when my classmates talk about how much they are dreading doing a research memo, or taking a final, and I'm actually excited about it. The weight of reality is certainly there. I don't have much free time, and my relationships with others have suffered as a result. That is only going to get worse. I'm up to my eyeballs in debt, and finding a summer job has not exactly been easy. I guess I can deal with this pressure because I don't have much to loose. My entire family is poor. If I don't get a job I won't be any worse off than I would have been-- poor with few options. Maybe that perspective allows me to enjoy just having this opportunity.

Stop talking about norcal burritos and tell me where I can get one in Socal, east of I15. Please? All the burritos here are just so many beans. Well one is all meat and hot sauce, which is good (actually they have good carnitas, so delicious), but it sure isn't a norcal burrito.
