Tacos El Zurdo

The internet is an amazing place. You see, without it I would have never seen a short, grainy, shaky and vertically recorded video of a monstrous burrito hiding somewhere on the streets of Rosarito. The mission: find this burrito and record a video of my own — the world needs to witness the Sasquatch of Mexican food.
No frills, folks. Just after you enter Rosarito and pass Calimax on your right hand side you’ll drive right past this shack. Blink and you’ll miss it but using places like Subway and McDonald’s as landmarks it’s easy enough to find. This is not the touristy part of the city but rather the hub where locals spend their time and money far away from the resort/​bar/​club scene.
My question (in broken Spanish) was simple: «Is this the place with the massive carne asada burrito?» The response was even simpler, «si.» With camera out a ready to roll I placed my order and waited for the show to start. The massive tortilla loaded with cheese starts heating up and melting the cheese on the flattop behind the grill as pieces of carne are plucked from the oak fired grill and chopped with a small sword on the wooden stump. Soon thereafter the tortilla and cheese, (now transformed into a quesadilla) is brought to the front, opened up and ready to be stuffed. ALL OF THE MEAT, which I assumed was for three or four burritos is piled high on the melted cheese and topped with red salsa, beans, onions, cilantro and guacamole. If you’re familiar with Tacos El Yaqui further down the road, this is best described as a perrone in burrito form and weighs in at an estimated three or three and a half pounds — certainly big enough for two and one of the best burritos I’ve ever tasted!
Will I be back? Hell, I’d plan an entire weekend around this damn thing!

Love this place… been here many times… it’s open late and is always busy. It’s surely a local favorite.
They have monster burritos that are around $ 4. Enough to easily stuff 2 people.
Tacos are flavorful and overflowing with meat and toppings. Homemade tortilla also!
The place looks sketchy and run down… which is exactly what you are looking for when seeking out authentic Mexican food.
This place is 100% Gringo approved!
