Quest for a Breakfas Burrito (10)

My favorite breakfast burrito just went legendary on me and disappeared. That delicious, hangover curative breakfast was served up at Antojitos de la Abuelita - a taco truck in North Hollywood.  The truck'spulled out of [P]ark and driven off to unknown destinations.

I'm designating breakfast burritos as Mexican or Gringo and designating them as Highly Recommended, Recommended, Recommended with reservations or Not Recommended (a la Cook's Illustrated).                                                      

Highly Recommended:
#1 Mexican: Antojitos de la Abuelita (North Hollywood)
#2 Mexican: Tony's Mexican Grills (Valley Village)
#1 Gringo: Corner Cottage (Burbank)

Recommended
#2 Mexican: Manzano Tacos
#2 Gringo: Eat

Not Recommended
Mexican: El Chavo (refried beans overpower taste), Papas Y Tacos (not satisfying on flavor), Casita Taco Al Carbon (not delicious)

Fine Beer Selections (12)

Beer Aficionado read this!

California Breweries I've been too (Beer). (14)

I've enjoyed my time at these breweries and am eager to share them with you!  I'll add the word beer so you might find this list in your search for beers.

I Heart San Clemente (12)

Until I can afford to buy my beach house in San Clemente this little list is how I'll need to maintain my connection to my dream of Orange County beach living in California.

Greenlight District - Santa Monica (4)

Uber cute retail and eating spots on Santa Monica's Main Street.  F**k 3rd Street Promenade.  This is the place to shop and experience Los Angeles.
