Chipotle, Authentic Mexican Food?

So I am sitting here in the computer lab and it is my second day of class. Everyone around me is typing away and here I am, utterly lost. I am not good at this creative free write stuff nor am I known for my cooking abilities and I would not by any means call myself a food connoisseur, although, I do love to eat. Evidently, I am way out of my league. While trying to figure out how to use the time today, I decided I wanted to give myself some structure and therefore start with a title. My thinking was that after the title, everything would fall into place. But a title holds so much weight. How does one chose before they figure out what they are going to write about? I guess it's like the timeless discussion of which came first, the chicken or the egg.
Since this is my first blog I thought it would be appropriate to introduce myself and my love for authentic Mexican cuisine. Maybe it is because I am from California or maybe it is innately in my taste buds but Chipotle just doesn't cut it. I've traveled a bit in my life for extended periods of time and they have always been a culturally eye opening experience. No matter where I am in the world, I can no doubt find a Mac Donald’s or a Pizza Hut yet I have been unable to find a Burrito that came close to rivaling that of California's.
My top 3 favorite Burrito Places in San Francisco:
1) La 'avenida Taqueria
2) Papa Lote's
3) Gordos
For example, I spent last year in Israel. Granted there is not a large Mexican population there, but my heart leapt every time I saw the word Mexican or Taqueria plastered on a sign. I faithfully wanted to believe that somewhere in that little country filled with people from all around the world that there would be a place that could at least make an elementary burrito of beans and rice. That, for some reason was a concept that could not be grasped. Instead, I would whine to my friends about how badly I wanted an authentic burrito and explain to them incessantly that it was a misrepresentation to call something a burrito if it was missing a key ingredient (such as beans or rice). They would nod their heads in agreement as if they understood and then utter the phrase, "yeah, if only there was a Chipotle". I would let out a sigh and shake my head slightly to show my disapproval, Chipotle is by no means AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD.
