El Charrito in Salinas offers a remarkable breakfast burrito made with hand-stretched flour tortillas. The huevos con chile features spicy, bold chili and drenching sauce, contrasting the typical dry offerings in much of the Bay Area. Established in 1981 by the Moncada family, the restaurant has evolved from a grocery store to a popular eatery in the region. Customers appreciate the variety and affordability of the menu, with burritos priced at $4.99 and breakfast options costing less than $10, making it an attractive choice for breakfast.
The hand-stretched flour tortilla was deliciously rich in flavor with a strong chew, a surprising and welcome departure from the typically dry and lifeless flour tortillas I've had at countless California restaurants.
The chili was spicy and bold, and the entire burrito was drenched in sauce. Unlike the dry breakfast burritos that dominate much of the Bay Area, this burrito was almost sloppy, and the eggs played a supporting role.
