HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!!!
So I have honestly been scouring the internet in search of a photo that best represents the glory of the Burrito. Well through a colleague I was told of this place in Souther Cal.
As you see their sign is very similar to Michael Angelo's Sistene Chapel Mural, but what isnt known is that Mike Angelo actually wanted to go with the Guacamole paintin and not the more formal version but was denied. Here is why:
Little is known of this period in Mike Angelo's life, but it is known that he and Chris Columbus (or Squiggy as his friends called him) started to become good friends. Squiggy Columbus was still earning a living as a fisherman but was also a huge Art collector. At the time Mike Angelo (or M-Dogg) was selling his work in a small square near the port. Often Squiggy C would trade fish for art. One morning M-Dogg Angelo was just finishing a painting of the "Last Supper" and Chris Columbus stopped by to see him.
Well as was the reaction to this day, Chris Suiggy Columbus completely lost it and needed the painting. Since he had no fish and he only had his newest and greatest Burritatala (or Burrito) he traded it to Mike for a copy of the painting.
Well that was it for Michael Angelo and he spun into a burrito painting frenzy. The painting above was one of the only surviving painting from this era (most were burned by the French, stupid French.) But one has survived as seen above, please visit HOLY GUACAMOLE to see this work of art...

Holy guacamole is right, you can charge people who live by the beach just about anything!! Holy Guacamole has Mexican chefs, but something about it has “gringo owner” written all over it. Standing quietly at attention on Main St., it is a simple spot with fair tacos and a kind of cool, bare-bones set-up. A large mural depicts Earth’s first man receiving tacos from a caucasian Allah, something we can testify must have happened just so. Bottles of hot sauce with Satanic names are neatly stacked on wooden shelves, and local beach-bums and graphic designer types crowd the scant tables and cool bar where you can watch the grilling take place.
