Default Where can I find the best Carna Asada burrito?

Let me be more specific in the location. I'm down south of Daygo. Paradise Hills. None of the surrounding areas are any good. I've been going to super sergios off sweetwater. Not very good. I'm looking for the meat to be a little burnt and crispy not soggy. Of course it should taste good too. I'm new to the area cause I used to live up north Mira mesa. Albertos was the best.

Come on south siders where are the good carna asada burritos?

All BS aside you have to come to Commerce (by East LA) to Sergio's Tacos. Mandatory to get the All Meat Burro though. PM me I meet you there yo we have a Mini Meet LOL.

youre absolutely right! there are not very many good places for a carne asada burrito. im from san bernardino/riverside area and i just moved to san diego. ive been coming here on a weekly basis since 2000.... but anyways... from my experiences, down in san diego, its gonna be pretty hard to top albertos. albertos is a beast! a lot of places down here are not so authentic. listen to XANTHODC2R. go up there and grab some food. im pretty sure you wont regret it.

How about Lolita's on "L" street off of the 805?

You could also try their California burrito.

There's a Lolita's if you take Briarwood into Bonita, it's at the corner of Bonita Rd and Otay Lakes Rd. Probably only 10 minutes away regardless of which part of Paradise Hills you're in. If you don't mind driving, hit up JV's near Old Town. Their surf n turf burrito is gigantic (definitely recommend trying that one but share it with someone).

Yeah I tried Lolita's Carna asada last night in bonita. Its good but it wasn't the same as the Lolita's off the 805 on L st. The one on L st was better for some reason.

Ohh yeah JVs burritos are huge!! But not my best. I like the chicken casadia (sp)

try el indio off of washington street near downtown. a lil pricey for a fast food spot but quality food every time.

i like lolitas but sometimes their burritos are too small for the price..

they also have a jv's in chula vista but down there they are called colimas on bonita rd and off of 4th ave and the 54 behind the target

i also enjoyed don pedros on 3rd ave

and believe it or not the los panchos isnt bad across the street from southwestern college.

Pretty much true!

I'm a Zonie - lived in Arizona my whole life...

There are lots of different styles of "Mexican Food" but basically Gringos eat Sonora-style (Northern Mexico) Food, sooo...

The further you get away from the border, the worse it is - even a couple of hundred miles makes a huge difference!

Anyway, there are lots of good places in Phoenix, if you're ever over this way.

My favorite joints are Carolina's and El Nuevo Taquito - just don't show up after dark, if you're a peckerwood white boy!
