Where's the best California burrito found in SD? (Oceanside -> Imperial Beach)
at the moment it's the burrito coming from your kitchen. whatever your favorite Mexican plate is, just wrap it in a tortilla. boom. up here in Redlands, El Burrito or Huichos for me

Meh, I door dashed Alberto's a couple weeks ago because I wanted something better than what I can make. :rofl:

I dunno, my kitchen skills have been rapidly gaining XP. power level yesterday morning with jalapeno havarti cheese, free range happy chicken eggs and @Slim-Whitey Canadian bacon. it was a breakfast quesadilla sandwich burrito and it was incredible.

edit: wife did not think it was funny that I'm insisting on a sancha that can make torillas even though I said her sancho would be fine if they could get around to fixing some of shit around the house I'm supposed to do.

That looks so white it makes mayo look exotic

I'm only really familiar with O'side (native) with the surrounding areas... ehhh, they're just there for all I ever cared. Although we biked all over Carlsbad, Vista, Bonsall (not that deep into though)... even road our bikes to La Jolla (that mountain is a BITCH!!! HAHAHAHAH).

Anyways, for O'side, there's an Alberto's on Coast Hwy (a.k.a. Hill Street for the OG's that know it by that name) and there is and/or used to be a Roberto's #13 (there's actually a bit of history with the "old location" where the CVS is now, but anyways...). The Roberto's, if it is still there, is located on the corner of Coast Hwy and Oceanside Blvd in the same shopping center as the Autozone. Again, it's been a year or so, but I don't see why it wouldn't still be there?

Either case, both Alberto's and Roberto's are just BOMB. I like my Bean & Cheese burritos, for example, made a certain way, likely because I grew up on Roberto's mostly. I used to have a fairly big paper route when I was a kid and would spend my money on getting my burritos there and then go to my friend's house and play some D&D all night over the weekends.

But yeah, if you ever get the chance try those places.

Also, if you've never heard of them, you MUST TRY Angelo's Burgers. They make really good 1/4# cheeseburgers and/or Gyros, etc etc etc. There should be an Angelo's still near the Oceanside Bridge as you come off the freeway going south. As a matter of fact, you will pass the "Gentleman's Club" as you go south on Coast Hwy. Not too far past the club, to the left is Alberto's and near there on the right-hand side is Angelo's. There is also an Angelo's on Coast Hwy (i.e. it is right across the street from Discount Tire Co. store #17, which is where I first started busting tires) about a block before you get to Oceanside Blvd.

Anyways...

Speaking of tires, I F'N HATED "Thornbirds". BIG-A$$ REDNECK MOTHERF(*&#@(^&! F'N TIRES!!! FM F'N L!!! :eek::headwall::mad::deadbanana::doh:

Worked at the tire shop for almost 14yrs (garage) and I'm pretty sure that is where I said, "F*** customer service SHI*!!!"

I do wish I had my own COATS 4040A, a rim clamp machine (i.e. we had various models), and the Hunter 9000 Balancer. ALL of the stores were trying to keep their old 4040's because they had a really good "BLASTER" when doing motorhome type wheels and such. Now, they have to put them in "cages". HAHAHAHAHA, we were BOSS back in the day and didn't need no stink'n tire cage!!!

Slater’s 50/50 just came to my mind. I’m hungry...
Oscar, if you ever in/near the area near Long Beach Airport (on Cherry Ave North, I believe) there is a burger joint called "Fantastic Burgers"!!! OMG brotha, their burgers are SUPER GOOD and the fries are the thick cut type and has that cayenne pepper and/or cajun type fries... at least that is how I remember the fries being. All I know is that I'm not really a french fry type guy, but their fries are super good.

@lord helmet dude, you're LBZ, if you haven't tried it yet, go check it out when you get the chance. Their burgers reminded me of a place that was called "George's Burgers"... I think they ALL went out of business eventually? TAM's is somewhat similar, but to me, not close enough.

But yeah, if you're in the area, check out Fantastic Burgers!!! :thumbsup:
