I was sitting across the street at mobile autoglass while my vehicle was getting a new windshield. Hunger struck as I happened to notice that "Mi Burrito" was across the street. As I was making my way on over, I was mulling over the direction I wanted to take my tastebuds. Once I made it to the counter, the bottom right-hand corner of the menu caught my eye. Could this be? Was I dreaming? A wrinke in time? Was I in a different place?

I know I will receive a ton of flack for this.

But contrary to what most folks think they know--one of a taquerias best kept secrets, is being a purveyor of an All-American Diner Classic: The Cheese Burger.

After a concise but genuine and kind conversation with the host, I felt comfortable knowing that I could indulge in both, a taco, and also in what most would consider a fantasy; A Cheese Burger from a Taqueria.

I ordered 1 Taco Al-Pastor that was cooked to spec, the olores and marinade potent but agreeable. Not to mention the sauce bar that was laden with house made and well-known branded sauces; also present, other required accouterments from pickled jalapeños, carrots, and onions-- to limes. DID I MENTION THEY HAD RANCH IN THIS SAUCE BAR?

I also ordered a cheese burger, but then, hunger--under the guise of inspiration - had me requesting BACON. Luckily, Mi Burrito was equipped and ready for such a whim.

For the sake of you, my readers, I will summarize my Bacon Cheese Burger experience for brevity-- If you watched "The Menu" (Nov. 2022)... the way "Margo" looked while she safely sat hundreds of meters from the blowing up restaurant, as she reintroduced the cheese burger into her mouth after she had savorly used it to barely escape near death. That was pretty close to my experience. (I apologize for the slight spoiler for those of you who were thinking about watching it)

(Pro-tip: On your plate or in the condiment barge, mix some salsa Roja in the ranch for a mildly spicy situation that absolutely belongs on their waffle fries.)
