What Makes the Perfect Comfort Food? | Eater
"After a lengthy neighborhood search the author settled on this spot as their go-to source for an emergency burrito, particularly its vegetarian and chicken versions. The grilled chicken and pinto beans come swathed in enough sour cream and cheddar to make a creamy interior while the yellow rice remains separate, preventing a mushy result; firm, bright tomatoes, sharp onions and a tasteful amount of cilantro add brightness, and the whole griddled cylinder picks up a light caramelization and pleasant heft. The writer is uncertain about regional authenticity but appreciates the straightforward, comforting mechanics of the burrito — it’s easy to eat, not overly challenging to the palate, and reliably familiar (they even recall an odd past order that arrived tasting like Caesar dressing). Eating it in a moment of emotional overwhelm provided warmth and a bodily anchor: repetitive hands-to-mouth motion steadied racing thoughts, softened tears, and allowed the author to stay with their feelings instead of trying to escape them." - Jaya Saxena
