A Mexican dish[1] was invented in the US? And El Faro in San Francisco claims to have introduced the US burrito. [2] Joofjoof (talk) 02:42, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Invented in the U.S., sure. Chop suey is a U.S. invention as well, as is drinking on Saint Patrick's day. ;-) San Franciscans will say anything. I'll see if I can adjust the language. --evrik ^(talk) 04:47, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Article is new and long enough, but needs some work. Several citations are incomplete (the website url is not a substitute for the actual website name or publisher), and #6 is not a citation at all. Several phrases like Steeped in its history and it was widely popular across all parts of the community are borderline promotional, especially those cited only to the restaurant's website. ALT0 is sourced only to a user-created review; as Joofjoof notes, that contradicts more reliable sources, including those at burrito#history. ALT1 is better sourced but a bit on the wordy side. The image is free use, but mediocre quality, and I don't think it holds at lot of interest at 100px. QPQ is also needed. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 03:05, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

No worries about the image. I adjusted the language about the burrito in the body of the work. I adjust the citations, including #6. There is also this citation, though I haven't woven it into the work. I reworded the burrito passage to mirror what is said at burrito#history, and added another citation. I added the missing QPQ. Hook suggestions are welcome. --evrik ^(talk) 04:47, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Alt2 is fine. I've done some copyedits, but there's still one citation needed. I would also recommend adding what happened to the Exposition Park location, and when it expanded into a chain. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:51, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

I can find no information on the closure of the location at Santa Barbara and Moneta Avenues. I added the requested information and citations. --evrik ^(talk) 19:41, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Now good to go with ALT2. Thanks for your quick improvements! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:10, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Can we hold this until May 5? --evrik ^(talk) 04:58, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
