History: An often-repeated folk history is that of a man named Juan Méndez who sold tacos in a street stand in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Cuidad Juárez, using a donkey as a transport for himself and the food, during the Mexican Revolution period (1910–1921). To keep the food warm, Méndez wrapped it in large homemade flour tortillas underneath a small tablecloth. As the "food of the burrito" (i.e., "food of the little donkey") grew in popularity, "burrito" was eventually adopted as the name for these large tacos. In 1923, Alejandro Borquez opened the Sonora cafe in Los Angeles. Burritos first appeared on American restaurant menus at the El Cholo Spanish Café during the 1930s. Burritos were mentioned in the U.S. media for the first time in 1934, appearing in the 'Mexican Cookbook', a collection of regional recipes from New Mexico authored by historian Erna Fergusson.
