California burritos filled with fries, breakfast options
"It’s been four hours since the booze finally short-circuited your brain, and your motor skills are now suspect. Get everything you need in one handheld meal. We’re obsessed with the breakfast California burritos at Electric Burrito, which use french fries instead of rice, just like what you’d find at a burrito stand in the (hungover) Craft Beer Bro capital of the USA, San Diego." - neha talreja
"When fries wind up in burritos, it can go one of two ways. Either the fries are drastically soggy and weigh the whole operation down, or they're the perfect golden, crispy additions to your handheld meal. At Electric Burrito on St. Marks, expect the latter. This counter-service spot's California burritos use french fries in place of rice, and wouldn’t be out of place at a stand in San Diego. You can also order their Conga burritos which are just as noteworthy and come with beans, rice, crema, and your choice of protein." - neha talreja, willa moore
"I compared the California burrito at Talkin’ Tacos to the Electric Burrito in the East Village and found Electric Burrito’s version to be smaller and less juicy, though it appeared to contain more protein than the Talkin’ Tacos version." - Robert Sietsema
"The excitement was palpable when this San Diego style burrito carryout (okay, there are a few seats along a counter) right on St. Marks opened in 2021. The menu is evenly divided into breakfast burritos and specialty burritos, with the former often containing french fries. Who can resist fries in a burrito? Meat choices include pollo asado, carnitas, and carne asada, but there are plenty of vegetarian options, too." - Robert Sietsema
"This burrito spot, which serves tacos and carne asada fries, caused a sensation when it opened on St. Marks Place last year for putting french fries in its burritos in San Diego style. The menu is divided into breakfast burritos and those that can be eaten around the clock. A favorite is the Johnny Utah, filled with carne asada and shrimp." - Robert Sietsema
