Few foods say San Diego like the California burrito. The idea is simple and a little rebellious: put the French fries inside the burrito instead of on the side. Ours leans on balance rather than bulk.
What's in it
Ours wraps grilled steak and crispy French fries with guacamole, our Mexican cheese blend, sour cream and salsa fresca. The fries soak up the steak juices and the creamy toppings, while the salsa fresca keeps each bite from getting heavy. The California Burrito is $17.95.

It's all about the ratio
A great California burrito lives or dies on balance: enough steak to lead, enough fries for texture, and enough guacamole and sour cream to tie it together. Want to adjust yours? Add a side of Casero Salsa or salsa verde for another layer of flavor, or sliced avocado for extra richness.
Round out the order
Add a Side Combo ($3.50) with two of rice, beans or slaw, or split a Big Bag of Chips with the table. A Mexican Coke or a Casero Mexican Lager is the classic companion. Steak lovers who'd rather skip the fries should try the Carne Asada Burrito, which lets the char-grilled beef carry the whole thing. Craving one at home? Order online for pickup.
