A burrito or taco de harina is a type of food found in the Mexican and Mexican-American cuisine. It consists of a flour tortilla wrapped or folded around a filling. The flour tortilla is usually lightly grilled or steamed, to soften it and make it more pliable. In Mexico, refried beans, spanish rice, or meat are usually the only fillings and the tortilla is smaller in size. In the United States, however, fillings generally include a combination of ingredients such as spanish rice, beans, lettuce, salsa, meat, guacamole, cheese, and sour cream, and the result is considerably larger.The word burrito literally means "little donkey" in Spanish. The name burrito possibly derives from the appearance of a rolled up wheat tortilla, which vaguely resembles the ear of its namesake animal, or from bedrolls and packs that donkeys carried.

This website has a LOT of info on a LOT of restaurants in SD. I wouldn't mention it, if not for the fact that they include like 60 pictures for each one (food, inside, outside, etc), but also they have CRAZY in-depth details on everything you could want to know. And it doesn't hurt that it's a pretty good-looking site, either...
