All Hail Shack Row

By Ryan - Tuesday July 18th 2006

In a city where things are in constant flux, it is comforting to find Westwood Village’s Shack Row basically remaining the same decade after neverending decade: Sleazy, dirt-cheap, filling as hell. Burgers. Burritos. Buck Fiddy Subs. Korean BBQ. Falafel. All manner of shackfood for the broke college student.

The below photo was submitted yesterday by an associate of one of our hundred-dozen field reporters.

Locale: Shack Row
Chicken Burrito: $2.50
Shoe Size (for scale): 12

Shack Burrito

Foot-in-mouth jokes aside, it certainly gives Lincoln Heights’ SuperDongBurrito a run for the money when you consider you could conceivably juggle two 12″ dongs for .50 less than the price of one SuperDong. Talk about doubling down. Let me hear you:

Shack Row! We Love You!
We Don’t Know What We’d Do
Without your Dongs for $2.50
As Big As My Damn Shoe!

What now?

sorry to disappoint hilary – and cap’n ZZZZ – as mentioned this one wasn’t mine to charge. it was sent in to me via [redacted] provider, presumably from a Treo™ capture.

i must have the exact location of where to purchase that burrito

970 Gayley Ave in Westwood Village, F-A. It’s just down the block from some place called “In-N-Out.” Apparently the official business name of this shack is TUMMY’S OF WESTWOOD, but in true shack style, you won’t find this name on the shack unless you look hard.

The depicted burrito was the $2.50 8″, but arrived more like an 11″. (They do have a 12″ on the menu as well, but don’t fall for it for $0.50 more–the 8″ will feed you for a day.)

Wash it all down with an Orange Bang.

A pretty big burro, but you got to get down to El Tapyac in Boyle Heights. They got a burro just as long but two times as wide. They give you a cardboard soda box to take it home in.

Carlos,

You ought to see the burritos produced by the little hole-in-the-wall Tex-Mex joints that dot the Chicago suburbs. “Superdongburrito” doesn’t cut it–we’re talking about burritos the size of a man’s head, and that man’s name is Shaquille O’Neal. Of course, instead of the Holy Quinternity of burrito ingredients (real meat, whole beans, rice, onion, cilantro), these have the gringoriffic combination of ground beef, refried beans, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and diced tomato. Nasty.

it might be big in size but its not very big on taste. its decent enough though if you’re super hungry and short on cash. the same place has super deals on burger combos, like 3 bucks for a burger, drink, and BIG ASS BAG of fries
