I’m a New Yorker, and I swear by the NYC culinary scene. Where else can you get Pho, a great bagel, a Jamaican Jerk and the best pizza in the world all within 3 blocks and have it all be super authentic and wonderful? But I have to admit, though the scene for authentic Mexican food has greatly improved with the influx of more Mexican immigrants over the past 10 years; California Mexican food kicks NY’s butt up and down the street! When I was in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago we came across Papalote’s, and boy were we in for a treat! The chef at Papalote happened to beat Bobby Flay at a burrito Throwdown and I can definitely see why. These burritos were huge, flavorful and a wonderful texture and were super fresh with all local ingredients! They were simply wonderful, and the prawn tacos were winning too! If you happen to be in SF don’t hesitate to go and grab yourself one of these mega burritos.
