Portugal. The Man comes to Fresno ... finds best burrito ever
Indie band Portugal. The Man was in town on Tuesday night for a show at The Exit. If you checked out my interview with frontman John Baldwin Gourley, you'd know that while it take its name from a European country, the band is actually from Wasilla, Alaska (a.k.a. Sarah Palin-ville). When I talked to Gourley, the band was in Netherlands.
I bring up all this geography because, according to Portugal. The Man's Twitter feed, of all of the places they've been, band members found the best burrito ever at Robertito's in Fresno yesterday.
Admittedly, I'm more of a taco man than a burrito man, so I don't know whether these Alaska boys were just easily impressed by one of Fresno's many excellent Mexican food options or if Robertito's burritos really are that good.
So yeah -- best burritos in Fresno, let's hear 'em ...
Comments:
I've bragged on it before, but Mike from Rademacher made burritos from left over spare ribs. Deeelightful.
So yeah, go get some ribs, and then find him.
But, if you can't manage that, Robertito's does make a yummy burrito.

Did he say which burrito specifically? I bet it was the White Knuckler™. I love me some Robertito's. All you Arsenio's fans can bite me. :P

I'm with you, Mike Oz: all tacos all the time.
I've eaten maybe four burritos in my lifetime, and they were all preceded by the word "breakfast."

"California Burrito" @ 2am is all I have to say and slap a large Horchata on top of that order too...
Man oh man!

Taco Unico on Belmont next door to Aldos. Their carne asada burritos are the bomb.

I'll be the corporate shill and say I rather like Chipotle burritos.

Best burritos BY FAR are at SUPER TACO TAQUERIA which is in REP'S SPORTS BAR!!! I must admit though that Adrian's off of First and Belmont has the best breakfast burritos!!!

I fell in love after eating a carnitas Super Burrito from Don Pepe's.

Am I the only one who thinks "Portugal. The Man" is the worst band name ever?
