Los Burritos Juárez Nyc Guide: Menu Highlights, Chef Story, Location, and How to Order
By Robert Thorne
The foundation of the entire enterprise rests on the comal. Mass-produced flour tortillas rely on shelf-stabilizers, chemical leaveners, and hydrogenated oils, resulting in gummy, thick discs that mask the flavor of the meat. Delgado’s crew mixes flour, water, salt, and rendered heritage pork lard daily (alongside an equally meticulous vegetable-shortening batch for vegetarian guests). The dough rests, gets portioned into precise balls, and is pressed and blistered on a scorching flat-top to order.
