"At JV’s Mexican Food, one of the city’s busiest taco shops, the classic land and sea combo is by far the top seller. According to manager Julio Carrillo, it’s been on the menu since day one of the 28-year-old Morena Boulevard restaurant, the self-proclaimed “home of the surf and turf.” On a busy Saturday in the summer, Carrillo says JV’s will sell at least 50. Ordering a surf and turf burrito at JV’s is like entering into a competitive eating challenge with yourself. The burrito is so gargantuan that it requires two platter-sized flour tortillas, laid overlapping, to contain everything. The finished burrito, wrapped in signature taco shop yellow paper and then foil — with a wedge of lime tucked inside — measures about 10.5 inches long and 4.5 inches wide. Its sheer size and weight might be the surf and turf’s most impressive qualities, but JV’s version smartly incorporates some non-standard ingredients that elevate it beyond an everyday carne asada burrito with a few shrimp thrown in." - Candice Woo
