I like El Mero Mero, El Camino at Los Padres. Everytime I eat there I think this family run business uses Grandama's receipes.  The Gordo Burritos kill me.  Watch for the daily specials board above the cash register.  I believe el mero mero translates to the best of the best.

There's a cluster of burrito places at the corner of Evelyn and Fair Oaks.  The one that sticks out in my mind is the one I can't remember the name for :-) .  It's a Mexican grocery store and in the back of it is a counter where you can order up different plates, burritos, etc.  Their burritos are unique in that they can put grated parmesan cheese in it if you want.  Yeah, I know, it sounds weird, but it tastes great!

I also like the grilled chicken burritos at Rockin' Tacos (various locations including the Hacienda Shopping Center in Sunnyvale on El Camino between Fair Oaks and Wolfe).  The chicken has a really nice grilled flavor to it.  I haven't been able to find that kind of flavor at any other fast-food restaurant of any kind.
