I don't know much about Lynn, but I do know that first impressions are important, and my first impression of this town was something along the lines of "this place...it's kind of trrrrashy, no?" My friend and Boston native J corrected me: "This place is a soul-sucking trash hole!" E agreed: "Lynn is where teenagers go to get hammered, yell at each other, and throw punches in parking lots...not that I would know anything about that kind of behavior."
Okay, then. So why were we there? Because we were hungover, en route to the beach, and 411 was leading us on a hunt for burritos. And we found them, cheap and delicious and soul-saving and in spades, at this Mexican talk radio-blasting hole in the wall. $5 for a huge Burrito with Rice, Refried Beans, Lettuce, Sour Cream, Cotija Cheese, and fresh Avocado ($0.50 extra) with Tomato and Onions as free toppings. They toast their tortillas--always a good sign--and the Red Sauce (more of an orange color with red chili flake specks) was insanely delicious and perfectly spicy. E ordered a Horchata and after sippin' on its nutmeg-laden milky goodness, proclaimed it "Mexican egg nog." Everything was delicious, and the bill was ridiculously cheap: $34 for three Burritos, one Horchata, and two big bottles of water!
This is the only reason to be in Lynn (unless you're starting a parking lot fight club). At the end of the meal, we agreed that Tacos Lupita was well worth risking our lives to swim in the ocean twenty minutes later. Welcome to Big Bloated Belly Beach! Population: you.
