paralyzing inner turmoil
Last month I made a pact with myself that I would never eat any food item named after David Ortiz (go here, look at number five). I've had the Big Papi at D'Angelo's twice, and both times it was pretty disgusting. I'm pretty sure the second one was responsible for the chills and fever I had for a few days. I thought it was maybe encephalitis, or meningitis, or something. Bad bacon will make you ache.
But damn, I might have to break my oath to myself. El Pelon Taqueria has a Big Papi burrito that sounds amazing. I actually don't even know what the hell is in it, but burritos are amazing, and Big Papi's amazing too, so it's almost impossible to imagine how amazing this Big Papi burrito most assuredly must be. I'm sure I'll develop beri beri or impetigo or some shit afterward, but it just might be worth the risk.
Oh, and speaking of Mexican food, I finally found a true Mexican joint worthy of my hard-earned ducats. Tacos Lupita is a Mexican / Salvadoran place half a block down the street from our new pad in Somerville. It's a bare-bones, unassuming little restaurant, but the burritos and tacos are fantastic. Lupita is cheaper, better, and more authentic than Anna's, and is the closest thing I've found to an Agua Linda style place up here in Boston.
