One of the most annoying things about traveling for me is the need to eat. Sure, eating is a luxury that really only needs to be done every couple of days (har har har), but it’s especially hard to make that happen when your only options can be found in the crappy food court at some crowded, overpriced airport.

Luckily, when I wound up in LAX before my flight to San Francisco, I had no trouble finding something tasty and familiar. That something was Baja Fresh. Baja Fresh is a national chain of Mexican food. I’m tempted to call it fast food because it is both fast and food, but it doesn’t have that same horrid taste and sense of impending, greasy doom that most fast food would give you.

Anyway, my usual fare at the baja fresh is one burrito with black beans and rice. The ingredient are always great and the burritos are made fresh and toasted to a crispy perfection while you wait. To top it off they always come with chips and a great variety of salsas from which you can choose.

I forget how much I ended up forking over at the airport, but usually I can get a burrito like this for about 4 bucks and by the time I’m done I’m positively stuff, so Baja Fresh is a great value. It’s also someplace I enjoy going to more than I feel forced to by convenience.

I haven’t tried much else at BF yet, but I’m sure there are some other vegan options (and tons of vegetarian ones). Does anyone eat there?
