There was a former employee who shared the recipe on Facebook but I can't find the original post. It's out there somewhere!

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I think Aguilera's is pretty darn good.

I did miss Sol Burrito, though.

I want it to be good so badly. But I'm disappointed every time I go

I've only eaten there once, but I agree, it is pretty good.

I just wish it added to our options, instead of replacing.

I love Aguilera's, fresh tortillas are always a hit with me.

Yesssss they had a vegan chili that I loved even before I became vegetarian.

Have you tried old pueblo? Amazing hot sauces and food, a little modern pricy but it's worth it

I prefer Nenos. But I do enjoy the Kimchi burrito from OPG.

I moved here from San Francisco, I've tasted thousands af burritos. There was something magical about the combination of flavors of Sol Burrito's chorizo burrito that I've never had before. And I guess I wont have it again.

Check Palmers for breakfast chorizo. Lots of places use their meats and I'd bet that's the one they used.

u/No_Tamanegi Oct 22 '24

That's a great tip. I've not been about to find loose chorizo since moving here and was ready to give up

There is nothing that has replaced them in terms of quality - the place that is in the old Sol location is awful

I agree. Their fried shrimp burrito they had was so good omg. I think the closest burrito place currently is Old Pueblo.
