Then you're lucky! Although most places here now offer rice in burritos
(they didn't used to), they usually offer options with no rice.

One thing that this place does serve that is super good is what they called
fried tacos. They don't offer them by themselves on the menu but if you
order the Posole (only available on the weekends), you get three of them.
They seem to have a mashed potato filling. I only tried a bite of one as
they appeared to be very carby.

This place also offers breakfasts and I see one that looks like it is steak
and hash browns.

I don't think I have seen potatoes at very many Mexican restaurants but I
have at Spanish ones. Spanish food is very good but alas I don't know of
any places that serve it here. Used to be one in Seattle.
