You may have noticed that I have an affinity for this type of burrito. I mean seriously people, it's a chile stuffed with cheese, fried up, and wrapped in a tortilla with beans and rice! If that doesn't sound like the greatest-effing-thing you've ever heard of, then you better just back up off this site right now! Instead of going to a sit down Mexican restaurant, and purchasing a gloopy relleno plate for 12 bucks, you get all of that wrapped up in a happy little bundle for half the price! Mmm... but I do enjoy a nice evening out with a relleno platter, endless chips and salsa, a 32 oz margarita and mariachi music blasting in the background. I digress...
My favorite chile relleno burrito reigns from Super Torta, which is the gut-bombiest, yet most satisfying creation known to man. I can't help but compare all other chile relleno burritos to the one that holds such a special place in my heart.
Tito's offered a less-greasy, more delicate, yet flavorful version of the chile relleno burrito. Crisply coated, with a tender chile center, the relleno was cooked up to perfection with just a hint of grease, and plenty of the cheesy stuff. A fair amount of pico, not too much rice, and some perfect pintos brought it all back home. And the hot sauce was to die for darling, to die for.

Would I go here again?
Of course! Would like to try other items.
Oh my goodness, that sounds amazing. I have to go through downtown tomorrow, but I don't think they'll be open in time. D'oh!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure they are open for breakfast and lunch on weekdays. :-)
DeleteSounds awesome. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteMy buddy and me at work get Tito's once a week or so. We are wondering if there's any info about the Man, the Myth, the Legend: Tito. Where does he live, or has be retired to a remote tropical island somewhere from his vast burrito empire fortune? Is it a family business, or is it a front for the local MS-13 gang?
