Never had a good frozen burrito in my life. You can get good ones from a taco stand however.
How about a good Mexican restaurant?

Yeah, where most of the customers are speaking Spanish.
Burritos are tex mex not real mexican food. I can't bring myself to buy letalone eat a frozen burrito.
Taco trucks man. There was this great one in the town where I worked. It wasn't that close, but easy enough to get to with a car. If I didn't get tacos, my favorite was a lengua super burrito. Also another place with a physical location that had lengua as one of the meat options. Never had brain tacos though.
Please. I live in Silicon Valley. We are all Latino. Come over and I will show you Chile Verde Burritos that will rock your world.
The Mission-style burrito comes from the Mission District in San Francisco.
Yeah - been there, done that. Heck - once I already had lunch but saw a taco truck that looked really good and my family had one each. One time we just saw one where there was a long line and we grabbed some there. A lot of them sold long distance calling cards, and they listed mostly Spanish speaking countries at the top with the number of minutes per card.

Rockin about 4 hours after eating them
I dunno. Certainly many are Latino. If not Vietnamese. Or Indian. Or Chinese. Or Korean. There was a fusion Korean food truck operating out of San Francisco called Seoul on Wheels. Or this place in Marin/Sonoma called Avatars Punjabi Burritos. Years ago when I was working in Silicon Valley, I got back to the office and was eating a burrito from Una Mas before a casual meeting started in our rec room. My Venezuelan coworker asked me if he could have a bit. He said he'd eat the other end.
Yep. Our diversity is our great strength. And the food ain't bad either.
I had a coworker who grew up in San Jose but eventually moved to the East Bay. He was telling me about some spectacular falafel place in San Jose. I heard something about it in fluff pieces on local food institutions.
I've worked in an out of Silicon Valley. The Korean guys would take us to the best Korean barbecue restaurants. The Chinese guys would take us to the best dim sum restaurants. The Indians would take us to Indian buffets and tell us that they sucked, but it was the best one in the area. I guess the weirdest was the fusion food. Apparently Indian-style Chinese food is popular in India. But it's absolutely nothing like Americanized Chinese or even more authentic Chinese food. The weirdest was just one coworker from Japan where we had sushi. I think the owners were Japanese-Korean.
It's always interesting where we went during job interviews. I didn't know if I was too presumptuous, but when someone asked where I'd be interested in lunch, I had a specific place near the office. My first industry job, two project leaders (one originally from Hong Kong) took me out for lunch and we went around Milpitas looking for some place where we didn't need to wait 30 minutes for a table. We stopped by Chili's first and they had a 45 minute wait. Ended up at a dim sum place, and the guy from Hong Kong was absolutely at home. But I've been through it all before.

I have never been a fan of burritos 
. The salsa that the local Mexican places use on them is good so good I ask for a bowl of it for the chips because the salsa they bring out is too spicy for me and they give it to me for free so I can’t complain.
