Roberto's California burrito sticks to the core formula of carne asada, fries, cheese, and a simple sauce in a soft flour tortilla. The meat here tends to be chopped fine and cooked on a hot griddle, giving lots of small, flavorful pieces throughout the burrito.[3][13] The overall experience leans toward classic late-night comfort food, with a slightly greasy tortilla and fillings that meld together as you eat. Several guides and discussions place Roberto's among the reliable, old-school spots for a straightforward California burrito in San Diego.[3][1]
