Further adding to the confusion, La Cumbre&#8217;s &#8220;birthplace&#8221; claim refers to the building rather than La Cumbre because the burritos were originally sold there when a meat market occupied the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is out there, but until someone invents a time machine we&#8217;ll never know for certain where Mission-style burritos came from.
