I’m still in the search for the best burrito in California. And what I mean by best, I measure by taste, cost and customer service.
And this time, I decided to try a place called Tacos y Tortas Chalio 3 in Hanford, California.
Before I continue with my blog, I apologize for the quality of my photos as I didn’t have my good camera with me.
I have to say that when I went around 11:30 a.m., the place already had a line but they had all the meat prepared and the line did not last long at all, as the employees were quick to serve their customers.
One thing that is important to mention is that you will see a lot of people standing, but some are just waiting for the food. Ask the person in front if they are in line and if not, walk ahead towards the register.
This is important because I have been to places where I had to wait more than half an hour for food and I understand that things get busy but there should never be a long wait if the restaurant is prepared for a rush. Tacos y Tortas Chalio 3 were prepared and I got my food after five minutes of waiting.
So, that’s a plus.
The restaurant had a good number of indoor and outdoor seating which is another plus and I could tell the place is no doubt a popular destination and I had to see experience it for myself of why the place was popular.
And for those who live in California, you hear stories of Mexican restaurants that give you a lot more for your money. You hear stories of super heavy burritos for a great price.
In my top 3 for heaviest burrito I have ever ate for under $8, Tacos y Tortas Chalio 3 now is part of that top 3 listing. The burrito is HEAVY and larger than other burritos from Mexican restaurants I have been to in the area.
I decided to try a Burrito Supreme with chorizo.
They really put a lot of beans, rice and meat and a lot of sour cream and cheese and it was delicious! Problem is that after I opened up the burrito to take a picture, the burrito was a bit difficult to hold because it was so heavy, so I had to eat it with fork and spoon. But that was because I opened it.
But I must say, I was not expecting to find a burrito this big and heavy and less than $8. That’s pretty awesome!
The carne asada taco was also delicious and the meat was well cooked and actually one of better tacos I’ve tasted in the area.
Overall, if you are in the Central California area, especially in Hanford, California and are hungry and want Mexican food, definitely give Tacos y Tortas Chalio 3!
The restaurant definitely serves one of the heaviest burrito’s I have ever tried in California and also in the U.S. for under $8.
