Yes! I was just trying to think of the name of this place.

Try Rodeo Mexican Grill on Olympic. I thought the meat was quite tender. Not a fan of the carnitas though. They have free parking and the place is full of Mexicans. If you’re willing to do the drive, check out La Azteca in East LA on Cesar Chavez. The tortillas are also hand made and to die for.
Is the ribeye burrito called a carne asada burrito on their menu, or is it a separate item?
Looking for a good carne asada type burrito in West LA.
Out of curiosity, did you ever try it with the mayo just to see what it’s like? haha
Had the carne asada burrito from Anaya last night. Insane. One of the best I’ve had.
Man, I’ve never had a bad thing there. Even the chips are tops.

The chips might be the best tortilla chips I’ve ever had. They should sell them by the bag!
I’ll say, their asada doesn’t seem to be marinated in anything though, was that just my experience?

i’ve finally tried inconsistency there… twice the carnitas was old and dry as fuck… i get the burritos for kid and when it’s from yesterday it’s obvious.
just went for the ribs and pasta with fam on thursday
anaya has ribs and pasta?
Ye. The costillas are my girl’s favorite.
Had Sonoratown. was ok. Tacos better than Burrito.
“Tacos better than Burrito” is just an unavoidable fact of life

Thanks for the rec.
They have another delivery/takeout ghost kitchen on Santa Monica Blvd. at the Colony.
I miss their place by the car wash closer to Brentwood. Loved the taquitos. I guess I should give in and check out the colony one of these days
Check out Benny’s Tacos in Culver City. They make their own tortillas and also have a San Diego Burrito.

I hadn’t seen this thread before. So I will add one of my personal favorites to the mix.
El Sauz in Glendale is pretty incredible.
It is a pretty simple burrito with just asada, beans, onions, cilantro and cheese. I know the tortilla looks a little dry but it basically acts as an ultra-absorbent sheet of bounty sucking up the godly nectar that is held within. The onion has a nice bite to it that balances out the rich, juicy asada which is griddled in such a way that it has some mallard-y crunch to some of the bites. They have two salsas (red and green) and they both slay dragons. I drip some on bite by bite alternating red/green or I go full suicide and blend the two.
If you go late enough you might have to brave some long lines of rude post-club fuckbois. The cashiers are understandably a little battle weathered because of this and can be kinda mean but mean in that “we know this shit is so good you will keep coming back” kind of way. I like that kind of mean. I know that probably doesn’t sound appealing but to me this asada burrito is the one true religion so it’s worth the pilgrimage.
Forgive the mid-bite pic. It is the best I have.

Thank you. Looks promising.
Is the tortilla made in house?
