By recommendation, I went to Don Antonio’s in West LA for some nicer Mexican food. Of the possible unvegan burritos, I decided on the Chimichanga, which was simply beans cheese and my choice of meat. I went with beef. To make sure there wouldn’t be any vegetables inside, I asked the waiter, who told me there weren’t, but that there was guacamole and sour cream on the side. While waiting, I snacked on their chips and salsa, which were really good and boded well for my forthcoming meal.
When my food came, he was right and there weren’t any vegetables in my chimichanga, instead, I was dealt something almost as bad. It arrived on a bed of lettuce, which not only intermingled with my guacamole, but also stuck to the crusty shell of my chimichanga. Every time I took a piece, I had to scrape away the lettuce that had invaded my food. In addition, although no nearly as bad, there was a garnish of radish and more lettuce.
The chimichanga ended up being quite good, but I just couldn’t get over all the effort associated with trying to get bites in without lettuce.
That was a good meal, as I recall.
