Bro you have try La Perla #3 in Point Loma they have the Burrito 🌯 called King king huge burrito 🌯 and the burrito 🌯 called Oaxacalifornia Burrito 🌯 you Won't be Disappointed bro.
My partner in gluttony! Haha, it took grit and determination but we did it. I'm going to run to LA and back and then I'll be ready for the next one! 🏃🏻♂️
Might be too far away from the “city” but Mr birria in Santee is a delicious newer spot, some of the best I’ve had. And next door to it is Bad Hombres with very very good carne asada! Sayulitas I hear makes some insane burritos (I see you tried here). And if you want the biggest & best fresh fish tacos with an insanely large fresh seafood menu head to Bluewater off India st. 🤌🤌
Thank you for making such content and doing the research for us, love the whole episode. But the best part is (and it got me choked up a bit) was the El Borrego background story. That’ll be a def stop next time we visit SD! Thanks again GL!
Great episode, Gareth! How you guys managed to eat all five of those burritos in one day is beyond me...especially that last one! That thing looked like enough to feed someone for an entire day!
JVs & the Cotixan in Clairemont are my 2 favorite Cali burritos hands down. Also RIP to the owner of La Perla down here on Grand Ave who passed away yesterday. They make a great Cali also
I come back to my hometown of San Diego last week … and this video did not exist yet. I’m now “home” in Arizona … and unhappy it’s a 5 hour drive to get an 805 burrito. 2024 goals I guess. 🥺 Keep up the awesome videos, Garreth. Please get part 3 out before the summer in case I go back that soon!
I have never tried sting ray! Never even knew that I wanted to until I saw Gareth's face light up, after trying that first bite! I feel the need to make the drive down to SD and do a Gareth Leonard food tour... it might take a week or a month, but it'd be such an awesome getaway! I love your face, so thanks for posting!
Oh man, all of those burritos looked amazing! The pinnacle though was the end credits, when you ran into Michael with the salt and pepper (and garlic) chicken wings from Golden Chopsticks. The BEST!!! You have to do a video on those Asian restaurants that sell those (and there are many!) That is a San Diego thing for sure...and well loved!
You two are great friends - that truly comes through !!! You are both hilarious with your different persosnalities, food enjoyment facials and "giving everything a whirl" Love That Expression !!! Cheers to you for a great yummy video in gorgeous San Diego. PS - my favorite is #4 - especially the lovely mom and daughter.... and the perfectly proportioned lamb burrito heck si !!!
Gareth I have said it before you sure can put a big bite on that burrito. Wish you best health given the sand fly bite in the Amazon. I had a few ideas to share about possible treatments.
@@GarethEats Gareth thinking about the parasite I wonder if UV lite would help, next idea would be be radiation oncology to entire leg or chemo to kill off the parasites. Good luck my friend.
el borregos original spot is behind a candy store in city heights i grew up in that area and they did only post up on the weekends but it would be soooo packed so happy to see that they grew so much. straight from the hood !
Happy to see MJ's featured on this list, they make their longanisa from scratch too. Also happy to see Mira Mesa get featured here too. Rigoberto's in Miramar is my go to for a California burrito, make sure to add sour cream and guacamole too.
We went today and it was fantastic! I had the borrego burrito(Juicy, tender lamb barbacoa, pinto beans, rice and salsa) and hubs the lamb special(Lamb Special Combination of one lamb soft taco, one lamb roll taco topped with crema & cotija cheese, and one rajas stuffed quesadilla served with a side of rice & cactus salad)! The owner was there and she was friendly, warm and inviting, we sat in the patio area. Definitely coming back!
i'm from oceanside, living in southeastern pennsylvania, feeling homesick and finding a lot of joy in seeing you run around familiar areas! if you ever end up doing a video on san diego area sushi or seafood places, i think you'd find some unique menu items at wrench and rodent -- if you end up checking them out, i hope you enjoy!
I love Borrego. My family and I have been going there for years. Their lamb is awesome but so are their chilaquiles, mole enchiladas, green pozole., etc….its all delicious. It’s the best!
You know what? Stay to the end of the video. The Easter egg is at the end when the guy shows the salt & pepper chicken wings from Golden Chopsticks. He’s 100 percent right. Those wings slap! I used to drive 20 minutes South just to order those wings from their original location in National City.
TJ Oyster Bar is a hidden gem in SD. You’ll never find anything like it. The smoked tuna is amazing…think of it like eating bacon from the Sea! Trust me, it’s the most mind blowing eats you’ll ever find. And their fish ceviche is some of the best you’ll ever try👍🏼
You missed a spot out here in Santee. It’s called BAD HOMBRES. I have yet to have anything I did not like. They also have one of the best birria ramens from a taco shop ever
The Name of the Last one was; " Sayulitas " in Mira Mesa / They are the Ones w/ the Giant Bacon Wrapped Burrito ! " As is or was " before Newsom's Blunder ( @ $ 20. P.H. ) that Burrito was rounded off @ $15.00 per. . Whatever the Price is Now, if that Restaurant is still there, " Who Knows " ? ! / See @ 16:37
Living in Mexico, the one thing I miss from the US are the burritos! Of the 5, I think I might like the borrego one the best. They all look amazing, though. Great series. Looking forward to the next vid.
I’m surprised you didn’t hit Lolita’s but that can be for the Cali… back in the day JV’s out by sea world also had a killer burrito but that was back in the early 2000’s
You gotta try this 🔥 taco spot on convoy st called El Viejon. The seafood tacos are a must try. I usually get the smoked fish taco, octopus taco and shrimp ceviche tostada. Their salsas are 🔥 too!
That's fair. I feel like as a "transplant" I want to explore as much of my adopted city as possible. I love San Diego and want to share cool places to go and support small businesses in the process. I am always open to local recommendations. Hopefully you've seen more than just this video to get an idea of what I'm all about. 👊

@@salaciouscrumb3704yeah Armando's on Palm Avenue is the bomb!

They were an awesome family and had amazing lamb!❤
Hope you're feeling better these days, Gareth! Thanks for the new upload
Thank you! I'm on the road to recovery now (I hope). Eating all these burritos in one day doesn't help though. 😂
Awesome reviews! The only one I am interested in is from El Borrego, it looks 🤌🏻
Great episode, Gareth! How you guys managed to eat all five of those burritos in one day is beyond me...especially that last one! That thing looked like enough to feed someone for an entire day!

Haha, you got it! 🤝 Even more reason to look forward to your return!!
Let’s do it!!!
Trujillo’s next to SDSU is another spot that makes wild burritos. Nothing better after a night of partying than a cali burrito wrapped in a quesadilla
Mjs! Went to high school across the street and wish it was there when i was in school. So good!
Such a great spot!!

That flaming hot burrito must be a try when I visit San Diego soon!! Thanks Garth! 👏🏽
Let me know what you think when you do!! 🤯
Victor there does a great job!!
It suxks its soggy af when it’s ready don’t get it
Bolt Fries with Curly Fries at Sayulitas is LEGENDARY 🔥🔥🔥 they have a Las Vegas location too alongside their many San Diego locations!
Those are great!!!
Dude, your shows are great! I hope you get to 100K subscribers +!!! Do some Vegas eats, and you'll definitely add a bunch of subscribers
Thanks man, I appreciate it! Yes, I definitely want to do a Vegas series soon! 🙌

Great to see another burrito episode with your partner in crime: McMike. Hope you're feeling better, G. Wishing you an awesome 2024, bro!
Great content. For really good Cali Burritos and Carne asada fries, try El Nuevo Milenio. Highly recommended.
Adding this to my list, thank you! 👊

Sayulitas Mecca with habanero and jalapeño salsas are the bomb. Can't wait to try these other establishments 😋🤗☺️
Yes!!! Been waiting for this
Thanks for being patient! I had to run a marathon to make up for everything we ate that day. 😂
@@GarethEats hahaha I believe it!!
Hands down, San Diego has the best burritos.
That shaq's girlfriend comment was so outta pocket LMAO
Haha had to do it😂
I said EEEYYYYOOOO
What a fun video Gareth!
Thanks Mary 😊

Happy to see that one of your stops serves seafood. Good job.
It's a great seafood spot, and we didn't even do it justice - so many other great things on the menu at TJ Oyster Bar that I'd like to feature 🙌
They deserve their own video 👀
I love Borrego. My family and I have been going there for years. Their lamb is awesome but so are their chilaquiles, mole enchiladas, green pozole., etc….its all delicious. It’s the best!
Have watched 3 videos so far and they were all great so far, hit the subscribe button on this one just a few seconds in... GO BILLS!
Been eating at El Borrego for years. Love their lamb barbacoa. Gareth, why are you always late to these places? 😂
You know what? Stay to the end of the video. The Easter egg is at the end when the guy shows the salt & pepper chicken wings from Golden Chopsticks. He’s 100 percent right. Those wings slap! I used to drive 20 minutes South just to order those wings from their original location in National City.
Just watching this made my acid reflux flare up.
I wish I brought tums 😂😂
I have only tried Sayulitas, I will have to try the other spots. Everything looks good.

I had stingray with jumbo olives, butter and seasoning on a skillet. Came out 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That sounds incredible!! 🙌
Gotta try La playas California burrito in mission beach!
Finally San Diego content ❤❤❤❤❤
Back for more!! 🤙
They all look delicious great job👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻
Roberto’s in Hillcrest on Robinson Ave has a reallly good surf & turf california burrito. I add guac and sour cream to it too 👌🏽👌🏽
I’m surprised you didn’t hit Lolita’s but that can be for the Cali… back in the day JV’s out by sea world also had a killer burrito but that was back in the early 2000’s
MJ’s is awesome. We’ve met Kevin and he is such a nice dude.
Love this! Will love to one day collaborate with Gareth.
Lamb burrito for the win!👍
YESSS! 💯
We almost fought over the last bite 😂
Sayulitas is great but their burritos are way too big. Try the Pacman burrito next time.
since when has a burrito being “way too big” a problem? i get it if you mean it’s too much stuff crammed into it but.
Rigobertos in Miramar for the Cali Burrito recommendation, they put chilaquiles sauce on the burrito & and the salsa bar is top notch.
WOW. RIDICULOUS is on point!😂🎉...I usually stick with the traditional carne asada...😅😅
For Cali burritos you must go to “California Burritos” located at 7745 Starling Dr.
You gotta try this 🔥 taco spot on convoy st called El Viejon. The seafood tacos are a must try. I usually get the smoked fish taco, octopus taco and shrimp ceviche tostada. Their salsas are 🔥 too!
And if you want a burrito de cabeza you would go to “ los taquitos “ on 3rd and main st. 🔥
Sonora Grill in Moreno Valley has a bacon wrapped carne asada "El Chapo". its fire
Whoa!! I gotta go check it out.
JV’s Taco Shop (Morena Blvd.) Surf n Turf Burrito
Did you see our last episode where we featured JV's?
Looks like great food but be careful your livi's pockets will migrate away from each other. It's ok to do every once and a while.
One word- WOW!!! You are brave tackling all that food! Got try some of them!😊 Have you not tried Golden Chopsticks salt chicken wings?? 😂 So good!😋
They are so good right!?!
I'll pass on everything else but would go Beast Mode on that lamb burrito.
I'm with you. 👊
That Sayulitas burrito is a FOR SURE once every other year type of experience lol
Hahaha, true story. 💣
Burrito 🌯 Therapy ❤️ I L❤️VE it❣️

1 minute in to the video no thanks to the hot Cheetos, let’s see if you can change my mind. (Favorite breakfast burrito La Gordita Vista CA).
Never thought I wanted Cheetos in my burrito. But 🤤🤤most definitely. All the spots looked delicious.
Shaqs gf was wild 😭
The Shaq comment was nuts
Haha, too far?
Hahaha just a little bit. Love the content btw!
What goes in one end comes out the other…..some toilet gettin nucd lol
Transplants telling us locals about San Diego… ya ok
For real so many spots to go to and they went to the most non authentic spots to San Diego
That's fair. I feel like as a "transplant" I want to explore as much of my adopted city as possible. I love San Diego and want to share cool places to go and support small businesses in the process. I am always open to local recommendations. Hopefully you've seen more than just this video to get an idea of what I'm all about. 👊
I'd love some recommendations on more "authentic" spots to go to. Hopefully you've seen more of my videos to see where else I've featured...
A deep fried burrito is called a chimichanga.
