(KFSN) &#8212; Taqueria Yarelis, across from River Park in north Fresno, has gotten bigger and better over the years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Since 2015, the Anaconda burrito has been their claim to fame. It starts with five large tortillas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;The anaconda burrito started from inventing, as if we were scientists, my dad and I,&#8221; says co-owner Edwin Espinoza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The Anaconda&#8217;s so big, it looked like Edwin Espinoza&#8217;s dad, Juan, was wrapping a bazooka.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The burrito&#8217;s grilled to give it a crunch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">It looks like a challenge meal but is designed for a group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;Five or six people,&#8221; Juan said. &#8220;One lady ate it herself in three minutes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Once the Anaconda presents itself, all you can do is strike &#8211; like a viper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Even the tortas are on the larger side here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;Now I make a chile relleno burrito,&#8221; Juan said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The chile relleno is plated traditionally with rice and beans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;It&#8217;s actually chile poblano with our ranchero sauce, with rice, beans and queso fresco on top,&#8221; said Andrew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">This is the family&#8217;s third location.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;Here we have our taquitos dorados, topped with lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and queso fresco,&#8221; Andrew said. &#8220;Paired with rice and beans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">You can cool off with agua fresca.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;Jamaica hibiscus, we make it fresh with the leaf,&#8221; Andrew said. &#8220;We have the tamarindo, which is tamarind. We have the horchata on your end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">As for the taqueria name, Yareli is Edwin&#8217;s sister.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;That&#8217;s my only one daughter,&#8221; Juan said. &#8220;She&#8217;s working here.
