Cooks don't understand what well-done fries are. I ask for well done/extra crispy every time I order a california burrito, and almost every time, the fries are soft and limp and white. Ridiculous. Your cooks are not very intelligent. Edit: decided to go back and give them one last chance. I asked for the fries well-done as usual, and through the drive-thru window, I watch the cook lay out my tortilla, pile the meat on, pile the cheese on top of the meat(instead of on the tortilla under the meat so it actually melts a bit, but that's a whole other issue I have with nearly every taco shop in SD), then, grab a stainless steel bowl off the line and dump fries from it, onto the burrito. Not from the fryer, from a bowl on the line. So, not only do they not give me the well-done fries I ask for every time, but they can't even give me FRESH FRIES OUT OF THE FRYER. When the lady in the window handed me my burrito less than a minute after ordering, I refused it, stating there's no way those fries are "well done". She agreed to have them remake it, to which I heard clear complaints from the kitchen. two minutes later she hands me another burrito, and I foolishly accept that MAYBE this time the fries will be crispy and well done. Nope. The fries are just as soft and limp as before, only this time they have a distinct brownness and oily flavor to them. On top of that, they didn't put ANY salsa in the burrito, when I actually ordered extra salsa and was charged for it too. Immediately turned around, came back to the restaurante and went inside and demanded a refund. I can count on one hand the number of times in my life I've turned my car around and taken food back to a restaurant. It takes a lot for me to not eat something once I've already left the drive thru. Took a lot of self-control not to say something to the cooks, but I stupidly let myself feel bad for them since I work in a kitchen myself(and would never put out the poor quality of food they do here).

What's the address?

I want to take a vacation to San Diego, primarily to eat there for a week. I haven't had a California Burrito in 16 years (I literally think about it all the time)...Is there a way (I'm being serious) to have a burrito mailed to Ohio?
