    Tell that to every Mexican joint nearby that stuffs their burritos so full the moment you fork into it they explode in a overly soapy mess from all the cilantro.

      Who cares if a fork tier burrito stays closed or not? It’s already on a plate.

      The entire thread conversation is clearly not about plated burritos.

      Well, if you were eating it with a fork anyway the I don’t see the problem… A lot of Mexican places (as opposed to Tex Mex) will also pou salsa or queso or something over the burrito, which then obviously requires a fork, but it’s also different from the burrito pictured.

      And you know you can just ask them not to put any cilantro on? It’s a garnish that typically isn’t added until the very end and a lot of people can’t stand the stuff, they probably won’t mind leaving it off

        You’d be gob smacked about how much cilantro goes into every part of a Mexican dish lol.

        It’s basically asking some restaurants to make fresh meat, fresh queso, and fresh vegetable mix from scratch. Not going to happen lol.
