    I wouldn't call a burrito a sandwich, and I'd be surprised and confused if someone else did. So no, I don't think a burrito is a sandwich. That being said, there is no source of authority over the English language to rule definitively one way or the other on this issue, so all anyone can say is their usage. Thus, if there is a place or culture or whatnot where everyone agrees that a burrito is a kind of sandwich, they're not wrong per se, just likely to encounter some confusion when dealing with people who are not part of their group.
