Judged a Mission Burrito Blind Taste Test

Back in 1996, I worked at two awesome thrift stores in the Mission (called Nu2u and Nu2u2 that’s no longer there) for some time. So, I got to know several taquerias in the area, and I definitely have ones that I prefer to go to over others.
Eaten a Whelk (Sea Snail)
