You should try Mercado la Torre at the corner of Evelyn and Fair Oaks in Sunnyvale.  They have the chicken breasts in some sauce.  When you order your burrito, they take out some chicken and chop it up with a cleaver. Mmmmm, good eatin'.

Unmesh,
I've had good luck at El Calderon restaurant on Calderon Ave. in Mountain View. It's about 3 blocks east of El Camino Real in a small shopping center. The chile verde burrito is the house special. Buena suerte! Paul
