    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:
