Why is wax paper wrong? The only possible advantage to foil is that if you don't eat it all it's marginally easier to take home.

As for the other criteria. You say it's achievable but I challenge you to find a place in SF. I seriously was on a four year quest to find such a place. There are a few places that come close on like two or three criteria - EBX on divis and chandos in... Sacramento, come close, (except for the foil, which is universal), but otherwise it's just not as good.

Why is wax paper wrong?

If you have to ask, etc...

Somewhat more seriously, I think an aspect of California food is that it's highly regional and it ends up being a bit of a fool's errand expecting it to be replicated precisely out-of-region.

It's bizarre you can't get a structurally integral burrito south of San Jose, never mind Weehawken, and I'm equally bewildered, as an adoptive Northern Californian, that foil could possibly be such a point of contention.

I can only assume that San Diegans take their burritos home far too sober. Surely that can't be true. We have to get to the bottom of this.

Uh. Hard disagree. It is rare for a san diego burrito to fall apart on me. It's par for the course in San Francisco.
If nothing else, I think this settles the 'will there ever be an SF<->SD burrito tunnel' question.
