Robb Walsh's 100 Favorite Houston Dishes, #99: The All-Day Burrito at Cherry Top Bakery on 915 College Ave. South Houston
Over the course of the next few months, I'm counting down 100 of my favorite Houston dishes. I chose some because they are such quintessential Houston creations, others for their cultural or historical significance, and others because they are just so damn tasty.

#99 The All-Day Burrito at Cherry Top Bakery on 915 College Ave. South Houston
Cherry Top once sold the best breakfast tacos in town. Today it is a shadow of its former self. The only item worth noting is the amazing $8 burrito. When you order one, the lady behind the counter rolls out a tortilla the size of an extra large pizza and throws it in the air to stretch it. Then she cooks it on a griddle. The monstrous burrito is stuffed with a mountain of refried beans, rice and the meat of choice (try the carne guisada) with no lettuce, tomato, or other fillers. The final product weighs 3 pounds, 2 ounces. You can feed an entire family with this burrito.
