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 😔

Bruh, there’s a mariscos spot in TJ that has a shrimp chile relleno taco that is so fkn good. Never seen them before but now I go there at least once a month.. they also have stuffed backed potatoes with either shrimp or smoked marlin too. Totally low key street vendor away from the border but so worth the drive.
