I think I’m having serious withdrawals from authentic Mexican food. I haven’t had a burrito in over 2 months. What’s wrong with this picture? I used to eat at Campo’s, my favorite hometown Mexican restaurant, at LEAST once a week. Now, I’m deprived of my bean and cheese burrito.
Anyone know of good authentic Mexican restaurants around Berkeley? Perhaps one to combat with Campo’s unbeatable salsa?
Here’s another easy dinner meal that takes about 20 minutes to prepare. I’m a fan of recipes that stick to around 5 ingredients, give or take. You get your protein, vegetables, and flavor, all in one. I served it with garlic mashed potatoes, which complimented the meal wonderfully, but you can also serve it over white rice.
