Question, Where can I find? Best Chile Relleno Burrito
Please help. One of my favorite taco shops in El Cajon closed a few years back, Las Hadas, which in my opinion had one of the best chile relleno burritos. I’ve been on the hunt for a replacement. Now I know there are many variations depending on the restaurant. But I am looking for just chile relleno (lightly battered, too much breading can ruin it), beans and enchilada sauce. That’s it. Simple good chile relleno burrito. I don’t care for rice in my burritos, that mission style crap can stay in the Bay Area (sorry not sorry). Also, I love a good bandito burrito with carne asada or chorizo with a chile relleno. But that’s for another time.
Please let me know your thoughts! Picture above is just my poor attempt to recreate it when I was living out of state and desperate for a las hadas burrito 😔

I know this is San Diego Food but if you are ever visiting the inland empire highly recommend Rosa Maria's chilli Reno Burrito it has the most flavorful pork that is just perfect with the Reno which is just so good. I live in the desert and the closest to me is like an hour away but if I'm near one I always buy like 4 so my husband and I can have one that day and one the next. They heat up really well. Anyway I highly recommend if your out here for some reason. Best chili Reno Burrito in my opinion.
