Mexican restaurants in Hampton Roads also serve a "white salsa" that's made out of miracle whip, garlic powder, oregano, milk, and crushed red pepper. Growing up you got a little bowl of each with your complimentary chips. Once I moved out of the area I realized it wasn't Mexican at all and no one else does it.

Not the miracle whip nooooo
You just made me throw up a little in my mouth.
I'm not even Mexican, but I think that's a hate crime?
A lot of places will only give it to you if you ask for it now. But yeah, don’t ask for white sauce outside of Virginia because everyone else will look at you crazy. (Similar to being from Pittsburgh and just wanting some French fries on my salad…)
This restaurant served a "white sauce" with the chips but I didn't think it was miracle whip. It was more like ranch dressing.
Some places are more mayonnaise-based and some are more ranch-tasting, because it’s just a Virginia thing I don’t think anyone has standardized it
You just made me want to murder someone.

Looks like maybe it was the burrito Pepe.
Burrito Pepe
One burrito filled with choice of grilled chicken, steak or carnitas, rice, black beans, pineapple chunks and chipotle sauce, topped with smoked gouda sauce. $14.99
pineapple chunks
And people think putting pineapple on pizza should be a crime. This is the real crime. Pineapple in a burrito.
I'd argue pineapple (especially grilled) is actually really good in a burrito, if not "authentic". The issue here is that it's on the burrito, and the burrito looks terrible to begin with.

It seems a lot like a Maritime-style donair, which often has pineapple and a sweet sauce. Pretty similar concept of a thing in a flatbread shell.

A Pepe it was for sure

This is exactly what I'd expect a Mexican joint in Virginia to serve.
Depends on where you are. There's actually a big Hispanic community where I am in NoVA, and while I haven't explored as much as I should, I at least found a pupusa restaurant near me that seems legit, and there are plenty of Peruvian places.

“Mexican”
Is that pineapple chunks on top?
Yes
I'm so sorry.
I am British and even our food has more colour and variety than this.
This post has taken the gutter crown of "worst burrito" away from the one time my friend ordered a burrito with no salsa, guac, cheese, beans, or vegetables. Man just wanted some beef and rice in a tortilla, and nothing else
We are indeed British
Why didn’t he just save time and buy a funnel
What is that supposed to be, i.e. what did he actually order?
The presence of pineapple and small glimpse of meat suggests a possible “burrito al pastor” that has been horribly virginiafied.
I found the menu, and the item specifically.
Burrito Pepe One burrito filled with choice of grilled chicken, steak or carnitas, rice, black beans, pineapple chunks and chipotle sauce, topped with smoked gouda sauce. $14.99
The description doesn't sound too bad (except for the pineapple chunks) but the presentation makes it look like a low effort drunk meal. It probably doesn't taste that great considering it's from a place that may not have many other options for Mexican food in the area.
How disrespectful! That looks like the chef gave birth to that himself, just for you
It's a crêpe right? That's a condensed milk on top right? There are fruits inside right?
It's a burrito. And that's cheese.
Holy shit I know this is a pic but I swear I saw it move
For all I know this might not taste like shit, but that presentation is more of an insult than anything else.
You never seen a Hawaiian Burrito?
Hawaiiana
I've got a Mexican place by me that has a Hawaiiana Torta.... I'm a bit curious.
The pics of the tacos look legit.
Damn, food is expensive these days.
