Best chilaquiles in the Bay Area?
A friend and I had a conversation about chilaquiles last night and we are trying to find the best. So far, in SF I have had them at Los Pastores, Los Jarritos and Mijitas. I like the Los Pastores ones the best, but do other folks have good recommendations?

my current favorite is Tamarindo Antojeria's in Oakland: "Chilaquiles en Salsa Chipotle: Chips tossed with a chipotle purée, garnished with cotija & crema"

I'm early in my search to find ones that rival the ones I had in Mexico, and the best ones I've had so far have been at La Pinata in San Leandro (they have a few locations) www.lapinata.com. I've tried them at the stand at the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market and they were good/high quality but too crunchy and individuated for my taste. I've also had them at La Calaca Loca in Temescal/Oakland and at that old school looking diner/Mexican place on Piedmont Ave. and they were good at both but nothing to write home about.
I tend to like them predominantly soggy and saucy just to the point where the tortilla starts to lose it's form. I also like when they have both red and green sauce options.
Any other stellar recs??

I think a big question is how crunchy you like the tortilla strips. Please include preferences next time.
