10 best burritos in San Diego
Grandson comes to visit each year during the summer. This time he came and decided he'd experienced the very best burrito in Chicago last year. I don't think they come any better than those made in San Diego. SO, we are on the trail of the best burrito in San Diego.
The first, June 13, 2007, was at Las Panchitos on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard at the Smart and Final site; and he rated it 1-10 as a 7 or 7.5. The next day we went to Cotixa's on Clairemont Mesa at the Diane Shopping Center. He said that burrito was an 8. I think he was base line the Chicago burrito. The damn thing was HUGE and from my point of view, no rice, only solid carne asado with salsa, guacamole, and drooling goodness. Today, June 15th, we went to Sergio's on Convoy by the Home Depot Expo. He rated that a 9, but wanted a little less sour cream, but said it was very good.
Frankly, I'm a nacho guy. The nacho selection at Cotixa wasn't awesome, but mostly that was my fault. Partly because I didn't select the upgrade. I figured it would be a huge thing anyhow and I didn't need that much. Got the canned nacho cheese and unimpressive.
Today, however, went to Sergio's and they made the best nacho plate I'd seen for a long time. Usually I'll accept almost anything with a pile of sour cream and big blob of guacamole. Even Carl's Jr has a decent one; not great, but I get by with it. Grade? Oh, I'd say a 5 or 5.5. The best I've ever had was the mejor plate at Nati's in Ocean Beach. Just a huge amount of food and had to bring home a box of it. The next best was at Sergio's where they use only shredded cheese and not the canned junk. The chips were fresh and hot and just out of the frier. The carne asada was tender and very well done. I'm sure the guacamole was from Costco as I've not had much better than what they have. Yummers.
Tomorrow we'll have to try another place and there are so many we'll have no trouble finding The Best in San Diego before he leaves July 17th.
So, stand by for another post.

You've made me ravenous reading about your hunt for best burritos, so guess I'll go and make some of my own, which at times have been called the "best anywhere....ever"
I enjoy your blogs.
