California Burrito
A California burrito should NOT have nacho cheese in it. That being said, everything else in the burrito was great and I will go back in the future and ask for shredded cheese to scratch that hometown itch. I appreciate the attempt though.
What makes a spot "San Diego-style"?
San Diego's taco shop culture has its own signature: the California burrito (carne asada, french fries, cheese, and guac in a flour tortilla), carne asada fries, crispy rolled tacos, and soft flour tortillas made in-house. A spot earns a place on SanDiegoBurritos.com when the community recognizes those hallmarks โ the marinade on the carne asada, the freshness of the tortilla, the little details that taste like home.
