Where's the Corner of Lenny and Leonard?

On a commenter's advice, I decided to check out PortoMex. My walk there took me through the best intersection ever :





When I got to PortoMex, I was dismayed to discover that they had no carnitas. I could have said "fuck it" and had a carne asada burrito, but there were so many places around that I knew I could get carnitas on the way back on the same side of the street. PortoMex is located at 721 23rd St, Richmond. I found carnitas at 325 23rd St. Here's the place :



Which estrella are they talking about? The horizontally-partitioned one or the estrella con cabeza verde y piernas rojas?



This burrito was a chore to eat. The meat was really tough and not too flavorful. I finished it in case there was something redeeming at the bottom. There wasn't. There are times I give a lukewarm review because I know not everyone has the time to make a pilgramage to La Casa Latina during lunch, but in this case, I'll just come right out and say "don't eat this burrito." If you're on 23rd, you've got lots of options. It's a shame about the burrito, because the salsa roja was chunky and superb, and I really enjoyed the cantaloupe agua fresca, both pictured below.
