Mexican food is so complex it's crazy.

So Mexican food is pretty much one of the best things in this life, so much so that I believe there should be a latin saying reflecting this. "Mexicanos cane es veritat viver", maybe. I just made that up, but it could work.
I mean what can compete with avocado, spicy meat and cheese? Um nothing, that is what. I wouldn't even care if James Franco was around.



vs. Franco



Who are you again?

And the fact that it's good any time of day. Burrito breakfast? Yes please. Mid morning taco snack? Yip I think SO.
So clearly, we are sold on this. Burritos and tacos are the best food, ever. They are up there with flying jet planes and coconut rough.


But the question I find myself often wondering is, which is the superior form of these delicious foods? It is a complex and highly debatable topic, let alone the whole personal preference debockle.
Burritos are not crunchy, but that is almost to their benefit. Whereas tacos ARE, and that is one their total highlights, it can tend to simultaneously be their downfall! Like a drug addict, their high is their low, if you will.

Burritos are soft in their texture and delicious to the bite.




Tacos are crunchy and have PIZAZZ, like a crazed Mexican saying "Ambidi ambiti" (I recall this from ads of 3 amigos as a child, this is not proper spanish, I repeat) riding off into the sunset on his horse. BUT… the inners are hard to devour with this crunch exterior, without being a ravenous pig. Which actually, I'm OK with. So it's not that bad.



Hmmm. It's tough. And I've reached no conclusion. Tacos and burritos are like a metaphor for everything awesome in life. They are good, yet they have their down sides. But in this case they both have very little downers.

Also I was definitely lying with the whole Franco comparison. I would throw that taco in a bush or at the nearest passer by and headline for Franco in any scenario.
