New to these parts. What happened to York?

It was depressing to stop by even for really good pizza by local standards

On the map. It would go back to being a part of Deleware is the states switched back to original boundaries.

Food scene here is more crime scene. Mexitaly's chimichanga, for instance: what if we put burrito ingredients in something that eats like a bread bowl? It's also gotta be said York people, Roburrito's sucks. It's well put together but flavorless. Cracker Barrel levels of bland. Jalapenos in Shrewsbury is legit though. There's some good stuff but wading through the bad is a true displeasure.

I'm sorry. But that's all Mexican places that aren't the legit Mexican places. The holes in the wall are where it's at. You're acting like Qdoba should be gourmet.

And the food scene in York is not bad at all. In the city you have the left bank, Roosevelts, and the central market.

In the rest of the county you have so many options.

yeah. dude reads like someone who grew up there and is so desperate to get out that they are blinded to what the area offers by what they think other areas offer more of...

ive lived in about 7 different states, from big cities to small towns, and york has a pretty impressive food/downtown scene. ive been to a few shows out that way when i lived in philly, and every time we went out there, we were impressed by the food options. like. no shit, its not philly. but for its size its not devoid of culture.

i also lived in reading for a while... pretty much the heart of authentic mexican food in the region... and roburrito is fucking legit. ohh... im sorry. they dont have $1 tacos de cachete. turns out you can have mexican joints that arent authentic. its called variety.

(i also dont want to blow the guys mind and tell him that their are also authentic mexican places down there.)

I grew up in Montco and Philly. I've lived in York County for a few years. I love it here, but I've learned I can't count on reviews to find good food. I'm not particularly picky, my take isn't a foodie's perspective at all. A lot of what I've tried simply wasn't good. That doesn't mean there isn't good food here.

The modern burrito originated in San Francisco, so I wasn't looking for "authentic" Mexican, just a good burrito. Roburrito's isn't it.

I will never understand the Roburritos hype. Granted, if you’re from York it’s probably top tier compared to your other food options.
