Chow “Why Do We Put Collard Greens in Our Burritos at Villa Victoria?”
posted by August 5 at 11:27 AM
on…asks an email to The Stranger’s Chow Department. The short answer to this rhetorical question: “…because the collard greens are flavorful, irreproachable, and delicious!” The long answer may be found here. Stranger reader-reviewers are silent (so far) on the relative merits of Villa Victoria and its collard green–laden burritos; one Stranger staffer reports that Villa Victoria’s tamales can be “a little dry.”
Here is some footage of a woman named Rosa chopping collard greens in the kitchen at Villa Victoria. If you like watching people chop, you’re gonna love this. If not, be warned: It is just footage of a woman named Rosa chopping collard greens.

Beans go with greens, greens go with beans! Why shouldn't they be together?
Additionally, greens keep you alive.
So...I'm assuming nobody actually asked that question? They just sent an e-mail to the Chow Department as if we all wanted to know, but forgot to ask?
I have a question for the Chow Department.
The answer is because it's fucking delicious. I expect to receive the same amount of attention for my pathetic self-interest.
I love those burritos. Like other dishes at Villa Victoria, the burrito adeptly blends the mixed cultural traditions of the chef/owner. If you want a Chicano burrito, go to Mama's. If you want a Baja burrito, go to Taco del Mar. But if you want an Oklahoma/Mexican buritto, get your ass over to Villa Victoria, pronto!
@2, first one is interesting, second one is depressing
Taco Bell is the only place in the world where you can find a quality burrito.
@5- That was a joke, right?
greens go good in everything.
especially my belly.
TACO BELL FOREVAAA
@3: no one should EVER, EVER under any circumstances go to Mama's, unless he or she is intending to consume a half-dozen frozen margaritas and then be sick in the toilets. Much better for you than the food.
That video clip is erotically charged, all right. Greens are the best, and Rosa is working that blade.
If it weren't for 10 gallon cans of soya sauce, I'd go broke.
Best part is, when you buy it in bulk, you can get the low sodium organic kind for about twice as much for a ten gallon container as for one of those teeny 8 ounce bottles.
That's hotter than a girl licking a hotel TV, I tell ya!
I swear to god I just read this John Waters quote somewhere:
"If you go home with somebody, and they have a 10 gallon container of low-sodium organic soy sauce in their fridge, don't fuck 'em!"
Aww, thanks for playing, Irena.
It's so cute that you get sex advice from John Waters.
Villa Victoria rocks!
Thanks for having me, Will! But I get all my sex advice from Dan Savage, see, and so I know that with all that soy sauce consumption, you run the risk of developing a distinctly salty tang.
I'm just concerned for your loved ones, is all.
Kelly O and Ari Spool give Will in Seattle 10 gallon can of soya sauce, Will in Seattle drink soya sauce, freak out, Kurosawa out, WILL IN SEATTLE BECOME TOSHIRO MIFUNE!
TOSHIRO MIFUNE WILL PLAY CRAZY GUY IN 14TH CENTURY JAPAN!
And no, I don't feel like letting it go.
The food at Villa Victoria is fantastic! Check out the Stranger's review of the original location in Madrona:
