Granted the place looks like a hole in the wall. Their burritoes rock! La Costena has been around for as long as I can remember, I'm 41 now, and the place was there even back in the seventies. Think about it, if their burritoes really sucked, you think they'd still be open? Most real old school burrito places are in fact hole in the walls.. I could be wrong, but it could also be that your co-workers are too prissy..

Norcal's idea of a burrito disgusts me. Beans, rice, cheese and nasty sauces in a burrito??! YUCK!

Most places up here don't even know what that is.

Anyone know of a place that serves their Al Pastor w/ chunks of pineapple? That's always a definite winner for me. There's this one place in Mt. View that I've gone to that served it just like that, good eats! Just wondering if there were any other.
Anyways, the Cal-Mex places at Alviso are pretty decent, in my opinion.

Papa Chevos, was OK for me. Granted, it wasn't that bad. I'm just pretty sure there are far better places around there.
Oh, Urupan in Hayward is pretty good, too. Nicely sized burritos for the price.
