If you've felt your burrito was smaller than it should be, smaller than in the commercials, the CEO agrees.

There used to be a place in the town where I grew up that advertised "burritos as big as your head," but they did not take large-headed people like myself into account. The burrito was smaller than my head.

Lionel Hutz would have taken that case for you.

I would have sued, but they were damn good burritos.

There is a place here in Seattle that has pictures of their burrito grande next to babies and they are of equal size. Somewhat ironically the restaurant is name Gordito's Healthy Mexican restaurant.

By 'healthy,' they clearly mean the portions.

Yes! La Bamba! Was it a chain?

[–] paraphrand 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I’m not sure. I only knew of it being in one spot in Madison.

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 4 months ago

Then yes, because I was in Indiana.

I have my own photo of that same thing, took it in Chicago in 2013!

La Bamba in Madison? The burritos are yummy, but it's a lie — not as big as my head, either.

There used to be one in Kalamazoo MI on the west side of the WMU campus in the 90's. Loved that place, burritos were really good. No, not really as big as your head, but it was a lot of food.

The one I went to was in Indiana. Nice to see one of them is still around though.
