yea, i've tried the burrito, it's certainly big and tasty. You can also try City Deli's fajita, it's not as big but it's real tasty. they have an online menu citydeli.cn. nice change of pace.

Matty - it's not called a New York City burrito. The deli, however, is called New York City Deli. And while you might think New York City has 'the worst' Mexican food in the US, I assure you it doesn't. There are plenty of decent mexican joints in NYC - from low-brow taquerias to upscale places like Rosa Mexicano, but it's not LA... Sorry bro-dog. Anyways, very erudite observations my friend, they are particuarly useful on a passage describing a burrito in China.

Tony, if you even know anything about burritos, Chipotle's is the best corporate burrito around. Sure, you can go to anywhere in the SW US and find a mom and pop hole in the wall that is better, but you have to be there. Chipotle's is everywhere, fat, round and organic. That is why their stock is so hot.

are you people retarded. nyc has the worst mexican food in the whole U.S. I dunno, call them LA burritos or San Diego Burritos - or god forbid MEXICAN burritos - but NYC Burritos bring up connotations of vomit for most Americans. .

guess what was one of 2006's more successful, if not most successful IPO's? Chipotle's, no kidding now if only their food matched their financial performance

I'd kill for Chipotles.... Chipotles should take the KFC route here. Serve grilled octopus, fish, lamb, etc burritos. I'd line up for one.

That looks good. I haven't had a burrito in ages. I'd settle for a breakfast burrito right now. But I guess I'll have to make a trip to Shanghai for one. I want to see if it's a good match for my college days at burritos as big as your head (no exaggeration).

I just need to add to that comment. As a FABULOUS and rather large set black woman I have always been complimented on how well I carry my very ample booty. It has often been compared to the size of Texas, which is where this Burrito looks like it may be from. And a 2000 calorie burrito like that has never ceased to disappoint me.

All i can say is that eating that burrito is absolute gluttony. Its one thing that China wants to catch up with the world, but to eat a black woman's diet, you need a black womans booty and some. You cant eat wontons all your life and then suddenly start eating steak. Its going to make an already ugly lot fatter!
