What kind of food do you like? When it comes to food I love it all, but I would have to say being from California, down by the border, my favorite food would have to be Mexican food. Living in San Diego I grew up on tacos from the taco shops around the area. I would eat there at least twice a week. They have the best carne asada burritos in the world, to me, and chips with guacamole. When I had moved to Springfield, Missouri and found out the only Mexican food they had out here was ground beef I was pretty bummed. So every time someone in our family went on a vacation to or from San Diego there would always be an order for a few burritos to be brought out. I have been here for fifteen years now and I have tried every Mexican place I could find out here and nothing matches what I used to get out there. Then one day a few months ago my brother told me he found a place called "The Purple Burrito" and that the owners were from San Diego and that they had Mexican food just like home, so I stopped by there one day and he was right they had carne asada, chips and guacamole and they even had my favorite fish taco. I have to say that that is the best place in Springfield that I have been to. Now if they would just get a Jack in the Box out here everything would be perfect.
