Knott's Berry Farm Burritos, September 1962
Here's a pair of September 1962 slides from Knott's Berry Farm, featuring some burritos - aka "little burros". A little salsa and guacamole and you have a feast! For the eyes I mean, I'm not a monster.
It must have been quite a thrill for children to ride on the back of an actual burro - as I've said before, it seems likely that some of them had never seen a live equine of any sort before. And these burros are so gentle and patient - I assume that they were very well-cared for, just like the Disneyland critters were.

"... it seems likely that some of them had never seen a live equine of any sort before".
As true as that might have been back in 1962, I hate to think how true that statement is in these times-!
Thanks, Major.
Major, it's considerate of you to devote a post to the Knott's Berry Farm burritos. Do we know what variety of burritos these are? Bean and cheese perhaps? Maybe shredded beef. Or possibly chicken.
I can't tell who's riding the white (chicken and sour cream?) burrito. Pretty sure the older sister (mom?) is riding one of the dark burritos (those must be the shredded beef variety) closest to us.
Some parts of the Calico rock formations look very much like real life. While other parts look like cloth, draped over chicken wire. It does have a nice, rocky paint job.
Thanks for the burritos, Major. (Now, where is that bottle of sriracha and that carton of sour cream?)
