Crepes and Tortillas for Burritos

Berkeley, Wednesday, April 29, 2026 1:30 am

I made a quick stop this evening, before arriving home, still at dinner time, and before picking up my bike at crepe restaurant in Berkeley. Low key, but it turned out to be very good, and particularly very transparent on the cooking process. All questions asked and answered.

While I had packed food still for dinner/from lunch, I was rather looking for a sider for my quarter of stake and vegetables. I was looking for some potatoes.

Not the place for that. I bet the hunger lead me to buy a crepe. It might have been one of the few time of my life I tried one, actually. And the price was quite convenient.

It turned out to be very good. I filled it with mushrooms, spinach, and cheese. Plus some of my stake and vegetables. I have eaten more than I usually do.

It has a thing, particularly in the whole week, since around Tuesday last week. Though not everyday, but related to hangouts, or dinner cooking invitation in a few cases. Recalling from last Tuesday, with the group I was, I decided to have a burrito bowl, but I also asked for the burrito tortilla.

The burrito bowl was fine. I was very hungry as well that day. But it was not the case for the burrito tortilla as a sider.

While I will be curios on the dough for the burrito tortilla.

I am quite curious, and one of the reasons, I decided to write something in here, about the crepe dough. The guy who prepared, who was quite skilled on spreading it on the particular pan for the purpose of making it. And then quite skilled in the acrobatic flip that is needed to toast the other side of the crepe, explained me that they prepare that dough daily. I am not sure to call that liquid mix a dough. It has eggs and other two or three ingredients that I forgot. I leave that for other time curiosity in this topic or opportunity to ask to someone who knows might come, or I might check about if I needed. A key on the preparation process was a wooden tool to spread the liquid doe on the pan, or rather to flatten it. In construction workers terms is like a tool for empastar the wall. But that shape similar to the one one uses for construction but with an extension handle.
