Customer Reviews

If you really love 'em ...

I've lived in LA for several years now. Sure the warm weather is nice, the palm trees are awesome, the babes is off da hook. But what's really sold me on Southern California is the Comida Mexicana. And the burrito is king! Who cares if it's not even Mexican? This book will get your mouth watering just by flipping the pages. If you really love burritos, you'll really love !Burritos!.

A funny cook book for smart people

I just read this book from cover to cover while I sat alone, laughing out loud in my favorite coffee shop. Burritos! Hot on the Trail of the Little Burro is a cook book, sort of. It's really about burritos; the history, sociology, science, philosophy, mystique, and music of them. There are taqueria reviews and yes, even some recipes and cooking instructions are included. I learned a lot, laughed a lot, and was even inspired to go to the kitchen and try to make my own burritos. Who'd have thought it?

Picante, muy picante!

These two hooligans have really burrowed through all the beans, to unearth some of the most accurate and palatable information on burritos ever published. They serve it up with dollops of wit and spicy narratives. It's a hearty look at one of America's newest past-times and an excellent guide to the world of burritos. Have a wad of napkins handy when reading it to wipe the drool from your mouth. A burrito wouldn't hurt either.
