Ahhh, the thrill of the burrito trail
Today was the next trip out on the trail of the elusive best burrito.
Yesterday we thought about a foray to a really nice Mexican restaurant and did it. Betty's in the 1400 block of University. Grandson Roy and I had just had an ice cream cone and were pretty much not very hungry, so when we picked up Sam, my publisher, we headed to Betty's for lunch - it was early afternoon and we decided to get something, even if it was just a little bite. Sam ordered the chicken burrito, but Roy and I had quesadillas. His was a 'shroom and mine was shredded chicken. Both were excellent. Sam said his chicken burrito was very good, but huge!, so he took half of it home for a meal later or today.
This afternoon Roy and I were a little hungrier than we'd been for a while, so off we went. Had to drop off a pair of sandals to get them repaired at John's shoes on Clairemont Drive. Across the street is a Cotijan fast Mexican food place. Wasn't sure, but at least I knew they had burritos and Roy was really hungry. I ordered my usual, a variety on the nacho plate. The chips were crispy and the guacamole was abundant. They put a lot of cheese on top. I would have preferred if they would have broiled the cheese to melting, but it was fine as they served it.
Roy's burrito was gigantic and he said, "It's a 9. Damn good." WOW! High praise. When we left he said it was the best burrito he'd had since we started the search. It was full to overflowing and he had a leak in the tortilla and carne asada dripped enough to split the side; he had to use a fork to finish, but that made little difference in the quality. Damn good.
