People complain about In N Out's fries, but they're the only ones that use actual potatoes. Everybody else uses frozen stuff, with garbage all over it. If you want your fries more crispy, order them that way. They'll do it. In N Out has the best fast food burger by far. They season it the best, cook it the best, and it's fresh. The people that try to claim it's the best burger in the world are very wrong, but you cna't get a better burger in a drive thru. If In-and-Out wasn't from California, everyone in California would be saying the same thing about Carls Jr In other words, I don't trust Californians opinions about California things. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whataburger's breakfast is definitely better, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there must be a suitable pejorative to describe the sub-humans from the Golden State. Part of the original lure of In N Out was its scarcity, they weren't everywhere and so the "cult" got started because they were hard to find. And the popularity was helped a bit because of their epic bumper stickers everywhere. People took the In N Out Burger logo and scraped off a couple letters so it read " In N Out Urge" Its not the best burger, but its one of the better ones in the fast food category and they're pretty cheap vs the competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's close, but I'm still gonna go Whataburger at the end of the day. Maybe that changes, but Whataburger is on the short list of meals I'll request before I'm executed.

Nah. Five Guys is on par with Carl's Jr, but nobody would compare Carl's Jr and In N Out. In N Out and Mexican food are the things you can trust the opinion of a Californian. Outside of that, you're best to ignore them, unless of course it's me. My opinion is always correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Guys is a very well cooked, flavorless, expensive burger. For what they charge, you'd think they could at least spare some salt and pepper to put on their burgers.

My opinion on CA Mexican food is based on having grandparents from Mexico. You can't find better Mexican food than in CA, unless you're in Mexico.

The city in which I live has a very dominant Puerto Rican and Dominican representation, far away from their respective islands and I've heard on occasion that sometimes they prefer what they've gotten here versus in Puerto Rico/DR.

You want the best Mexican food in the nation, go to El Paso or San Antonio. Get you some pozole, barbacoa, pastor, menudo, chicken mole... San Antonio Mexican food is life changing.

It's not solely based on the location, it's where the population is. CA just happens to be a border state. I've had good Mexican food in Kansas, but there's also a big migrant farming population there. I've lived in CO for 13yrs, and I still can't find a good place. I had a guy from Cuba tell me that one of the best Cuban restaurants he's ever eaten at was in Indiana, just across the border from Louisville. It can happen.

I've only been to Dallas, and it's a thing there too. We even got invaded by a Chuy's here. Taco Bueno couldn't survive though. I could see those cities keeping up with CA because they would be more traditional too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
