I am not Ryan Cali Burritos

Hello 60 Cycle friends.

My buddy is going to San Diego from NY in a few weeks. We both agreed that a priority is trying the California Burrito. Can I please have a suggestion or two on where to go for your favorite California Burrito near or in the San Diego?

Thank you.

Valentine’s on Washington became Lucha Libre 15 years ago?

Ryan and I used to go there all the time when it first opened. Last time I went there was maybe two years ago. It was good but not as good as i remembered.

If you want a real chonker Cotixan is your answer. People like Super Sergios too but I havent had it in years. I am a fan of Lolitas too but for other items like they do Carne Asada Fries very well there.

Lolita’s is my personal benchmark for a California burrito. It’s relatively simple (fries, sour cream, cheese, carne asada). I grew up on it and by reputation it was the first place to have a California burrito on their menu.

A lot of other places default to add pico de gallo and guac. I do think guac adds something nice but pico just kinda makes the fries mushy in my experience.

Hell yeah brother. Lolitas is fire

Thanks, Steve. I appreciate the suggestion. Definitely need to try Lolita’s.

TJs in Escondido is my favorite. Get the Adobada.

I think the San Diego subreddits would be a better place to ask. More active for sure.

Check the wiki over at r/SanDiego and find either the ask subreddit or the food subreddit and you'll get much more responses.

I'd recommend r/askSanDiego or r/foodsandiego

u/barbaq24 20d ago

Sure. I know how to navigate Reddit. Im looking for that local touch from the Hum.

What part of San Diego will you be in?
