It's lunchtime in Ponyville, and Twilight Sparkle's stomach is calling for something with a little more flavour than what she usually feeds it. How will she and her friends react, though, when the lavender unicorn discovers that there is no place in Ponyville where a pony can get a decent burrito?
Stalin is amused! Another comedy! Stalin thought he completely drowned in a sea of Dark/adventure fics.
Humor is good. Pacing is fine. Characters are acting properly. Idea is... interesting. Overall: nice little fiction for evening entertaiment. Keep the good work and good luck!
Stalin commands to dance!
Cute! I know how tough it can be when you're really jonesing for a good burrito. If you sub black beans in for black eyed peas, and add enchilada sauce, then bake the whole thing, this burrito recipe is essentially exactly they way I make vegetarian enchiladas. 
Fixes: tainted should be "tinted," "frackus" should be "fracas."
This is why I put hot sauce on pretty much everything. I loves Dat spice. Being the half Mexican I am I also eat almost everything in a tortilla. Those tacos or burittos are always manly. There's a whole lot more to say but no one wants to see a wall of text. So yeah. Dis fic is major win

Definitely on par with the rest of your work over on Fanfiction.
Fantastically done. The characters behave like you'd expect them to if this were actually in the show. It's not rushed at all which a lot of folks seem to do with one shots (not that I expected you to, of course). Twilight temporarily loses it again, which is always fun to watch/read.
And lastly, Derpy and Lyra! Thumbs up, my good sir.

I love REAL tacos and burritos.
Taco Bell can go fuck its own face.

I would cut out RD's description when she first shows up. Normally it's a good idea to give a character a detailed description when they first appear, but when using characters that your readers will already know, you should just skip the description. My feeling at that point was "yeah, it's Rainbow Dash. I've seen her in hours of cartoons, and I have a folder of RD pics on my HDD. Move on."
Overall, though, not too shabby.
I do agree with you on that point about describing Rainbow Dash when the fanbase knows what she looks like, since I do have over five years now of fanfiction writing experience under my belt, I felt early on while writing it that I would need to practice writing the ponies' physical descriptions so that I'll have already done it once or twice before they appear as characters in my Kingdom Hearts epic over on Fanfiction.net
But thanks for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Twilight’s horn became encased in magenta light, as did one of the burritos on the plate. She brought it to her mouth in her spell’s grasp, and bit down into the burrito.
It was horrible.
"FUCK YOU APPLEJACK WHY IS THERE APPLES IN THIS?"
"What sugarcube? Everything has to have apples in it!"
"FUCKING RACIST HICK, SUCK A DICK WHORE!"
Twilight was suffering from what me and my friends call Taco bell withdrawl. where one craves it so much you tend to lose your senses until you get your mexican styled goodness. sad to say I know a lot of people who succomb to this myself including which is why I love this story 
Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned that good friends will always be there for you. No matter what problem you may face, they will do whatever it takes to help you. Just today, I felt a craving for a tasty burrito, but found to my dismay that this delicious Manican food was unknown in Ponyville. Seeing my unhappiness, my friends worked together and found a way to help me. Rainbow Dash even flew all the way to Canterlot (and back) to get the special ingredients needed to make them.
I also learned that if I run around looking panicked, ponies will do just about anything to calm me down, including flying to Canterlot and back if necessary.
Your Faithful Student,
Twilight Sparkle
Dear Twilight Sparkle,
It looks like you've learned something important about friendship today. However, I simply must ask you one thing: what's a burrito?
Princess Celestia
What better way to finish a Twililicious day than to read a fan fic where our a-dork-able purple unicorn snaps? 
This one was satisfying --maybe as much as Twi's burrito. Seeing that you mentioned your experience with fan fiction writing, this really should not have come as a surprise. The transitions between scene flowed like water being poured into a glass; nothing felt out of place. Your use of all characters --mane cast, background ponies, and even Fluttershy's cousin-- fit together better than slices of bread in a loaf. The way you portrayed them in here feels very accurate to the show.
I, for one, would like to disagree with Derpy Mooves concerning the need to describe Rainbow Dash's physical traits. It is very true that a detailed description is rather unnecessary when the audience clearly will know these things, but I think at the same time it was important to do it for this fic for the sake of practice as well as the possibility that few readers who may not have known immediately who RD is. 
Whether you find it necessary in future writings is entirely up to you.*
So was there anything wrong with this fiction? If anything I would have to say that I did not see any destruction of the fourth wall coming from Pinkie Pie, but even that isn't saying much at all. Perhaps a "thumbs up" does not do justice as a rating here. 5 stars then.
*I realized as I was typing up that paragraph that is was the lessons from English Composition II ans Speech 101 that kicked in. Dang, I take personal pride in that and the fact that Twi is my favorite pony --students for the win! 
This story is great, the characters behave almost like in the show, I just have 2 nitpicks...
What is a tortilla shell? Are you refering to those things Taco Bell uses? or something else? I know that a burrito must be made with a Flour tortilla (tortilla de harina here in Mexico) that are completely different to what TB calls "tortillas", here in Mexico we don't have TB's because we wouldn't stand for that s***. I went to a TB once but it was years ago when I visited L.A. the food wasn't bad but it wasn't good or mexican either. Wow I got off topic.
The other is the pun for Mexico, it didn't sound right; some people use the "Mexicolt" but you can't change that to an equivalent for Mexican (Mexicoltian?), maybe the term Marexico and Marexican would have been better. I'm not hating on the story because of this, but "Manico" didn't sound right to me.
That's all I got to say, great story and I hope to see more.
I believe that "tortilla" and "tortilla shell" are interchangeable for the same thing. I know that personally I've always called flour tortillas tortilla shells because you also call an empty taco a taco shell. Weird bit of logic, but it makes sense to me.
As for the pun for Mexico, "Mane"ico was really the best I could come up with while still keeping the "ico" to become "ican food". It was probably just my lack of imagination/experience when coming up with pony puns.
Thanks for enjoying it! I'm probably going to end up writing more MLP one-shots because of this.

I want Chipotle.
BUT
I live in Germany.
Amazing job!
[/url]Fu** yeah. Lets make mecican food.
this image should pop up in the comment.This is why I love being in So Cal. I don't have to deal with Taco Bell's bull[squee] because I can get a damn good mission burrito anytime I want from a good 20 different restaurants in the same 10 mile radius. I cannot freaking live without having at least one burrito every two weeks. ...I just realized what I just said is really weird. Burritos aren't even my favorite food (I love you forever, sushi) but I can't imagine life without em.
...Anyways great review now I want burritos. GODDAMNITITSMIDNIGHTANDIDONTWANTTOLEAVEMYBEDAUGH.
>>315113 But I must say, Miss Sparkle has absolutely no idea what she's talking about: burritos are for wimps, enchiladas are where it's really at!
rychu_supadude, think about all the sauce on an enchilada. Can you actually see a bibliophile like Twilight eading something that might end up dripping a staining liquid on a book, especially when she has the habit of reading at the table already? No, for her the burrito is the perfect little self-contained meal item.
Shire Folk, you did good with this one, hope that your Muse gives you a few more inspirations for the Mane 6 in exploring alternatives in culinary options.
Yes, the Valar are the gods of Middle-earth, born from the song of Illuvatar, who really is God, in Tolkein's works. Gandalf and the other wizards, though, and Sauron are Maia (plural form of Maiar). Think of the Valar as Angels (which is what Valar translated from Quenya to English is) and the Maia as their servants.

Seriously, is that all you have to contribute onto my fucking amazing comment, twelve years in the making?
A fucking pony emoticon?

>>306515 Kingdom Hearts epic? I'm intrigued. Please, do elaborate, and provide a link for my reading pleasure!
Seriously, great story. It felt to me like an actual episode of the show, which is always welcome, even if there was a distinct lack of Rarity.
This is the first I've seen of you, but it shall be far from the last, I hope.
Everypony who's been asking or wondering about my Kingdom Hearts stuff, you can find it by checking out my profile page or just reading this post.
This will be a doozy, so get your reading cap on.
The Annals of Darkness: The Beginning version II
Start there. It's the on-hiatus rewrite of the first volume of the fic that began just over five years ago. When you reach the end of chapter fifteen, Lovers' Leap, start here.
That's chapter sixteen of The Beginning. There will be a drop in writing quality and a bit of fic discontinuity, but please bear with it and accept it. Once that's done you can move on to here and then here respectively.
It'll take you at least a solid month to get through it all. I have been told numerous times from people that there are a few times and parts where the readers absolutely hate me for what happens, yet I write it so well that they have to keep reading to see what happens next. They also tell me that the humour in parts also completely balances it out, and I even had my beta complaining about laughing so hard that her roommate started banging on the wall and telling her to shut up.
As I have noted in my profile, ponies have not appeared yet but they will in the near future. I also somehow got a crazy idea into my head for a completely separate MLP/KH crossover that I'd post exclusively on this site until it's completed before it goes up on fanfiction.net.
It's also mostly unrelated to the story I'm currently sending you to guys.
