  • As a fellow Southern California native, I’m now extra intrigued that you consider California Burrito to be fusion. I’ve lived in San Diego for over 40 years and have always considered it local cuisine, the fusion aspect never crossed my mind.

    We San Diegans have to remember that San Diego is unique in that it was once part of Mexico and Spain before that, so our local cuisine comes to us already infused. That doesn’t mean it’s not fusion food though. My wife, a native born Mexican has dragged me half across Mexico to see her family and it is in those trips where I realized certain foods are undeniably Mexican in their roots. From Burritos to corn tortilla tacos, they’re mexican. However, french fries are not, thus fusion cuisine.

    Having lived in Chula Vista now for 26 years, I’ve learned two food facts:

    1. Cesar Salad was invented in Tijuana and came to Chula Vista second in the 1930s

    2. The California Burrito was invented in San Ysidro in the 1980s.

    If you’re still around, this is the place that made the chicken tikka masala burrito:

    I’ll give it a shot next time I head up


  • Chicken Tikka Masala burrito! Holds the sauce so good!

    Definitely going to try that with some sour cream and salsa

    Also, California burritos are fusion? Burrito is a Californian invention, and French fries are pretty American (sorry Belgium).

    Burritos are Mexican, Fries are American, thus the fusion into a California Burrito containing a protein + fries + guacamole and salsa.

    Souce: Southern California Native.

    Side note, I miss Dunkirk and Antwerp lol… That’s where I got introduced to Carbonade flamande. Now I make it at home using Chimey ale, throw some cilantro/coriander in there with belgian fries and parmesan on top… So good.
