Enter the 15-incher.
Historically most of my pilgrimages to north Seaside's iconic Baldemiro's Taco Shop (899-2231) have been for the rolled tacos smothered in guacamole.
I don't eat much beef, either. That's one indication how classic and satisfying they are, loaded up with enough guacamole, shredded lettuce and diced tomato to make a meal out of three, though they're available in units of six too.
Now there's a new reason to visit.
A man with a penchant for quirk and culture, Weekly photog Nic Coury, alerted me to the jumbo burrito there.
I needed to see it. To understand it. To know it.
The numbers don't lie:
• 3 pounds, 7 ounces, according to the Weekly postal scale
• 2 tortillas
• 15 inches
More telling: the smile with which Angel handed it over.
The main reason I'll return for it: the reactions it inspired.
Two of them appear here:
"That's not a burrito, that's a burro," staff writer and naked yoga enthusiast Nick Rahaim said.
"That's a what-she-said burrito," business development director and Green Bay Packer apologist Keely Richter added.
Three rolled tacos run $3.75.
The jumbo costs $12.
Or $0.80 an inch.
