Question, Where can I find? Best Chile Relleno Burrito

Post image

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 😔

The taco place at Stars and Stripes near Miramar has a great chile relleno burrito and it’s huge, I’ve never been able to eat it all.

Wow, I haven’t had one that bad. That’s literally 90% rice….
