Taqueria Michoacan — Restaurant in California

The Greek philosopher Plato popularized and defended the Theory of Forms. This philosophical framework contends that the physical world we interact with is a mere imitation of the non-phyiscal, perfect essences of all things, which exist in an abstract plane outside of our understanding. What we see around us is a cloudy reflection of the perfect forms, like a man watching shadows on a cave wall, and while we may approach complete understanding of the forms that serve as the foundation of reality, we will never truly perceive them.

This was only partially correct. The Perfect Form of a Carne Asada Super Burrito exists, and it is served on a daily basis at Taqueria Michoacan.

I have existed on this planet for the better part of 3 decades. Over that time, and over a number of visits and extended residences in the greater California Bay Area, San Diego, Central Texas, Northern Mexico, and even an ill-advised excursion to Canada, I have eaten a number of Carne Asada Super Burritos that amounts to the thousands. "May I have an Asada Super Burrito?" I have asked. "¿Podría tener un super burrito con asada?" I have asked in Spanish. "Can you make me one that won't give me diarrhea?" I have asked at Chipotle.

The vast majority of these burrito experiences have been remarkably positive. Not a single one has even begun to approach the quality of Taqueria Michoacan. Scholars of the New Testament are divided on whether Jesus ever made a burrito, but there is little debate that if he had, it would have tasted like the Asada Super Burrito at Taqueria Michoacan.

Eating this burrito is a spiritual experience, a true communion with the divine. The delicately folded homemade tortilla is artfully crafted to serve as both a reliable structural matrix for the burrito's delicious filling while contributing to the flavor in ways that transcend what a tortilla is expected to be. The juicy, tender Carne Asada is both firm and yielding in all the right ways, and challenges the taste buds with a delightfully balanced spice, reminding one of a strong yet sensual lover. The cabbage provides a satisfying crunch, perfectly complementing the smoothly softened beans that mix with just the right amount of rice to fill out the flavor profile of this rare treasure. The sour cream and avocado will make you yearn for the shores of Lake Pátzcuaro, where the winds sweeping over the fertile plains from the great blue Pacific create a peace that escapes words.

I have ordered roughly 300 Carne Asada Super Burritos from Taqueria Michoacan. Every time, it has been the best burrito I have ever eaten. I have been told there are other items on the menu. I have no idea if this is true.

The price is beyond reasonable for sole possession of a piece of culinary art on par with Beethoven's 9th symphony. I would give my firstborn child for the Carne Asada Super Burrito at Taqueria Michoacan, without hesitation. I would kill a man for this Burrito, 11 bucks is an absolute bargain.

For years, I have eaten the Carne Asada Super Burrito at Taqueria Michoacan. For years, I will continue to eat the Carne Asada Super Burrito at Taqueria Michoacan. When I die, my only regret will be that I did not eat more of the Carne Asada Super Burrito from Taqueria Michoacan.

I cannot recommend the Carne Asada Super Burrito from Taqueria Michoacan more strongly, and I can only hope you try it and learn what it means to become...

I have driven past this spot many times over the years, not ever stopping, mainly due to parking and not ever eating here, not knowing if I will like it. One of my friends that has similar taste in food said it is delicious, so I tried it out and I LOVE the food. It is so tasty and I love that it is close by for me. The carne asada plate is my absolute favorite, I love it with flour tortillas. The meat is perfectly flavored and the flavor of the grilled red onions is a nice touch and I don’t even like onions. I love the flavor, I just don’t care to eat them. The rice and beans is so delicious. This is the only place I really like the rice, from most other places I ask for no rice and all beans.

They also have a great selection of drinks to choose from. I always go for the bottled Coca Cola since it pairs so nicely with the carne asada plate. The salsa is pretty spicy but still really good and I love the guacamole, it has a really nice flavor with a little kick.

It is a family-owned business and the owners work here as well as family members. Everyone is always really friendly and the food is out quick. They recently added a dessert stand from a third party named Laura’s Sweet Side. Very cute set up and presentation. Cakes all look super delicious. I am not eating a lot of sweets right now so I did not try anything but it looked like lots of things have been purchased and are popular.

Love coming here. You can dine here, they have a few tables inside and a few spots to sit outside as well. Definitely try them out if you have not eaten here yet. Everything on the menu...

This restaurant presented us with one of the worst meals that we've ever had. I ordered a breakfast burrito. There were an incredible amount of layers of rolled up white tortilla with maybe two tablespoons of a mixture of beans and potatoes and eggs. There was literally one Pebble shape piece of egg in there. And I asked to have some cheese added to it and that I would pay for it and there was absolutely no taste of cheese. Is it a matter of fact it was just absolutely no taste. My partner ordered the enchiladas with chicken and again they were absolutely tasteless. The portion of that was so tiny it might have filled up a child but certainly not an adult. They served a side of salsa and it was the hottest salsa I ever tasted so I went to ask them for a milder one hoping I could get some flavor in the totally bland food but they only had a spicier one. They don't have a beer license so you can't have beer with you Mexican food which is sort of important. I would never go here again and I can't understand how they even stay in business. Their french fries however were good though they are very chintzy with the ketchup. They have also done the magical feet of creating chips that you wouldn't...
