What's the best burrito in San Diego? La Perla. Any of the numbers? And it's called the Oaxaca California burrito. It's so good. Go there. It's a Cali b from Ortiz's. El Patron in Mira Mesa, bro. Shout out to their California burrito. It's the best. Humberto's Taco Shop on 43rd. Easley, Mike's Taco Club, Obi. Nikos Fish Market. The catch of the day burrito. I gotta go with Lolita's, man. More specifically, the Bonita location, though. Always consistent. They got a lot of variety too. Don Tommy's an OB, man. They have this super thick tortilla that's almost like a pita. It just changes everything.
