According to manager Julio Carrillo, it’s been on the menu since day one of the 28-year-old Morena Boulevard restaurant, the self-proclaimed “home of the surf and turf.” On a busy Saturday in the summer, Carrillo says JV’s will sell at least 50. The finished burrito, wrapped in signature taco shop yellow paper and then foil — with a wedge of lime tucked inside — measures about 10.5 inches long and 4.5 inches wide.Its sheer size and weight might be the surf and turf’s most impressive qualities, but JV’s version smartly incorporates some non-standard ingredients that elevate it beyond an everyday carne asada burrito with a few shrimp thrown in.
