Don’t forget about Beachcomber Kids Cuts on Phinney! They placed #3, but are #1 in my book!

Red Mill my ass. Go to Lunchbox Laboratory, instead.

I have to say I continue to be amazed at the Gorditos accolades. I just don’t think the food is that good, but de gustibus & all that.

Gorditos should have won for “largest, most mediocre burrito”.
And Lunchbox Laboratory? Maybe for “Most overpriced burger serve with a side of snark”.

Yeah, Gordito’s isn’t bad but I would never call it the best.
But completely agree about Naked City.

We avoid Gordito’s after some very bad eating experiences there. I would say Tacos Guaymas is much much better.
