Readers' Choice: Vote for Your Favorite Burrito

Editor's Note: Voting in the poll will close at 11:59 p.m. on August 17, 2012.

As popular and common as the burrito has become, it might surprise you to know the food has been in the United States for less than 80 years. According to a book by Mary Wallace Kelsey, it was a Los Angeles restaurant that introduced the burrito to America in the 1930s.

Now there are hundreds of variations of burritos, all with different ingredients both inside and out. Do you like your burrito "wet" with salsa poured over the top? Do you like it with a corn tortilla, shredded chicken and black beans? And what about cilantro?

No matter how you like your burrito, everyone has a favorite place to get theirs. So nominate your favorite burrito in our comments section below.

Your nomination will be included in a poll in which readers will vote on the Rancho Santa Margarita area's best burrito.

We'll take nominations until July 9, at which point we'll begin a poll to choose the Patch Readers Choice Awards. Be sure to tell us in the comments why you like your particular burrito joint because it could play a role in whether it gets in the poll or not.
