The Best Burrito in Every State

All 50 states have a burrito that we dubbed the best of the best, coming from traditional Mexican taco trucks to Asian Tex-Mex fusion restaurants.

We Know, You Want the Best Burrito by State

No matter how crazy the world gets, we can all agree on one thing. Burritos. Are. Awesome. Plain bean and cheese gives a nostalgic throwback to childhood, while there are dozens of fancier combos out there just waiting to be tried.

But what’s the best burrito in every state? All 50 states have one that we dubbed the best of the best, coming from traditional Mexican taco trucks to Asian Tex-Mex fusion restaurants.

Alabama: Los Dos Hermanos Taco Truck, Birmingham

Bring an appetite and some cash because this cash-only taco truck is the hottest place to get your Mexican food fix in Birmingham. Tacos, tortas, quesadillas and, you guessed it, spectacular burritos are the name of the game here.

“This is possibly the first time I've ever loved food in Birmingham enough to rate it while still chillin’ in the parking lot. Luckily, I have lots of time before a meeting downtown. So here goes. This is the best Mexican food I've had in Birmingham. Hands down. No competition.” - Yelper Erin G.

Alaska: Bear Tooth Theatre Pub, Anchorage

Bear Tooth Theatre Pub doesn’t sound like a Mexican joint because it’s not. It’s a popular Alaskan classic combining the fun of catching a movie with the buzz of a pub, plus tons of burrito options that all tout great reviews. Would you prefer the blackened Alaskan salmon burrito or the steak chipotle? We’ll take both.

“Love the tacos at this place! Both the make-your-own and the ones that they prepare for you! Keeps me coming back every time.” - Yelper Carol P.

Arizona: Anita Street Market, Tucson

The best way to take the tastiness of a burrito up a notch is with homemade tortillas. Anita Street Market does just that, using homemade flour tortillas in the signature carne asada burritos and smaller, masa tortillas for the tacos. This taco shop tends to have more tortilla than filling, but the tortillas are so good that it doesn’t matter.

“Doesn't get any better than this when you’re looking for fresh tortillas, burritos, empanadas and more! Hard to find but worth the effort! Tucson hidden Gem!” - Yelper Tommy T.

Arkansas: Rolando's Restaurante, Hot Springs National Park

Travel to Ecuador without leaving the states at this eclectic Ecuadorian eatery. The multilevel restaurant is higher-priced than most burrito places, but it’s worth it. Diners can chow down on fish tacos or an enormous Popeye Burrito with a side of garlic rice — all with a stunning view of the mountainside. Most of the plates are large, so expect to split something or have epic leftovers to take home.

"Great find. The queso and guacamole are fresh and tasty. The tamales are as good as they get — fresh, tasty and hot. The fajitas are some of the most tender I've had in a long time. The sauces are made to perfection and complement the dish.” - Yelper Deb G.

California: El Primo Tacos, Venice

Los Angeles locals love their taco trucks, and their Mexican food standards can’t get any higher. El Primo Tacos is something else. You get to choose between several different meats, including carne asada and classic el pastor. You also get to essentially build your own burritos, choosing from a variety of toppings like onions, peppers and even pineapple. Yum!

"I got the asada burrito, and OMG was it amazing. They throw in the beans, rice, meat and cheese on the tortilla, then hand it to you to add your toppings (onion, cilantro, habanero mix, and salsas), then you give it back so they can wrap it for you." - Yelper Nancy B.

Colorado: Bonfire Burritos, Golden

While a breakfast burrito might not be your first thought when you’re craving Mexican food, it will be after visiting Bonfire Burritos. The chupacabra breakfast burrito is a local favorite. The combination of scrambled eggs, potatoes and perfectly seasoned meat topped with delightfully gooey melted cheese is out of this world!

“The chupacabra is the best burrito I've ever eaten!! Get ya butts over there and try it!!” - Yelper Madison M.

Connecticut: Rincon Taqueria, Norwalk

Rincon Taqueria is a more traditional Mexican restaurant compared to some of the other places on our list, but with one big aside. (Keyword being big!) The burritos here are about twice the size of a typical burrito. Multiple reviewers mentioned that each one could feed three grown men, without sacrificing any of the flavor.

"Massive burritos as big as your forearm and flavorful guacamole at this spot at the end of a small strip center on Route 1. Bernardo always makes his guests feel welcome.” - Yelper Chris O.

Delaware: Burrito Express, Bear

Sure, it’s located in a strip mall right off the highway, but don’t be fooled. Burrito Express is amazing. It offers tons of classic dishes like caldo de pollo, but true to its name, burritos are its specialty. They’re big, packed with rice, tomatoes, lettuce and any meat you can imagine. Psssst … try the chicken. You won’t be disappointed.

“So good. So perfect. Great portion sizes. Great prices. Perfect flavor. If you're looking for seriously authentic Mexican food in the Wilmington area, this is definitely a place to check out. I had the steak tacos. Perfection. My father had a burrito. It was glorious.” - Yelper Gillian F.

Florida: A-Mari-Mix Fresh Mex Fusion, Miami

The standout offering at this Cuban-inspired spot are the burritos and tacos stuffed with ropa vieja, a tomato-y stew made of shredded beef that’s especially popular in Puerto Rico and other parts in the Caribbean. It comes with rice — but not too much — and a healthy helping of tomatoes and lettuce to cut the fat. If you want to be really decadent, get it smothered with red and green enchilada sauce and buried under a mountain of melted cheese. It’ll be the largest enchilada you’ve ever seen.

“I honestly wasn't expecting this much flavor from a burrito. Every bite was like heaven. I ordered the California burrito with shredded chicken, and I added maduros. Mmmmm soo goooddd. Honestly guys highly recommend. If you're looking for some Mexican comfort food with a little extra, this is the place to go. Is super affordable, and you get so much food. I couldn't finish my burrito. My fiancé devoured his. Oh, and the tostones with ropa vieja were absolutely delicious. That dish is a must!” - Yelper Daniella G.

Georgia: El Tesoro, Atlanta

Coffee lovers, rejoice. You can have your coffee and eat your burrito, too. But maybe not at the exact same time. This Mexican taqueria serves up traditional Mexican fare that’s made from scratch daily, which explains the freshness and explosive flavor. While you’re waiting for your breakfast burrito or vegetarian migas, try out one of their featured espresso beverages or a steaming cup of Mexican hot chocolate.

“Great spot. Cool vibes. Awesome food. Breakfast tacos and breakfast burritos are on point. We got the migas and frijoles breakfast burritos. They're the perfect size, perfectly rolled and perfectly grilled. The horchata iced latte is also bomb.” -Yelper Jordan D.

Hawaii: Kenji Burger, Kauai

Kenji Burger, on the island of Kauai, seems like a burger joint at first glance. But look closer, and you’ll find it’s a paradise of Hawaiian specialties, including four different sushi burritos and several poke bowls. Kenji Burger is probably the only place where you can eat what’s essentially a giant sushi roll followed by a five-star milkshake.

“This place did not disappoint. I was pretty starved, so I ended up getting the ahi and avocado poke bowl over a bed of greens instead of rice and a grass fed truffle burger lettuce wrapped. My son got a sushi burrito (which he was in heaven with), fukake fries and a lychee milkshake. The food was phenomenal.” - Yelper Sara B.

Idaho: Bandido’s Mexican Grill, Nampa

Idaho isn’t exactly known for Mexican food, but the burritos at this family-owned restaurant are next level. You get to choose from eight different meat options, with asada coming in as the top pick. Then, pick between a simple burrito with rice, beans, cheese and salsa, or the ultimate burrito experience with sour cream, onions, jalapenos and cilantro. Portions are huge, so wear your eating pants!

“Really good Mexican food! Burritos are delicious, and service was great. This will definitely be our new Mexican food stop.” - Yelper Jen P.

Illinois: Gorditas La Tia Susy, Chicago

Gorditas La Tia Susy specializes in homemade gorditas, but everything on the menu is good. The burritos are long and thin, focusing more on the flavor of the tortillas and less on stuffing them to the breaking point. It’s so good that you’ll wish Susy was your own aunt.

“The gorditas were amazing as well as the tacos! I would definitely return and order the various tastings! Looks like we found our new local taco joint! Thank you Gorditas LaTia Susy! Gracias por todo!” - Yelper Franco G.

Indiana: Ricky's Taqueria, Elkhart

Ricky’s Taqueria doesn’t look like much. It’s small. Tiny, really. It has four tables inside, and the lines can be long on weekends. But don’t let that dissuade you because the food here is authentic, fresh and all-around amazing. Reviewers often compare it to the fresh Mexican food you can get in Los Angeles, which means it’s the real deal!

“I had a chicken burrito, and it was humongous! It was two meals and literally became my lunch and dinner. For under $7! You definitely want to go there hungry. It was really good. I love the avocado they throw in there rather than guacamole.” - Yelper Jaime W.

Iowa: La Regia Taqueria, Iowa City

If Indiana isn’t known for Mexican food, Iowa definitely isn’t. Luckily, La Regia Taqueria proves that hope for a good burrito in Iowa isn’t lost — in fact, far from it! The tacos are insanely popular, and unlike most restaurants in the area, it offers a long list of authentic meats. The sauces are what really bring the flavor, with thick, chunky guac and salsas ranging from mild to literal fire.

“It's rare for me to say this, but this place is worth the wait! Their tacos are one of the BEST I've ever had! I love how you can choose multiple different tacos and how quick the service is and how friendly the servers are.” - Yelper Bee H.

"Iowa City is a wasteland when it comes to good authentic Mexican food. La Regia is an oasis among deserts.” - Yelper Dale B.

Kansas: El Gordo Mexican, Wichita

El Gordo Mexican describes itself as a fast-food joint, and it looks the part. It does not, however, taste the part. The breakfast burritos are gargantuan, packed full of potatoes, eggs, cheese and any meat you could want. Bacon and steak? No problem. Chorizo and ham? You’ve got it. Don’t forget the hot sauce!

“What? This should not have been good. It's a stand-alone little place; the name includes "fast food;" and it’s the closest Mexican restaurant we found to the highway. But the food? Amazing. Homemade. Delicious.” - Yelper Katie G.

Kentucky: Tortillería Y Taquería Ramírez, Lexington

Lexington has been affectionately nicknamed “Mexington”. There are quite a few Mexican places near this one, but we’ll save you the trouble of picking one. This one is the best, hands down. The carnitas and asada are expertly prepared, and the cooks here know their way around making tortillas from scratch. Corn is the magic ingredient, and Tortilleria Y Taqueria Ramirez really gets it right.

“Ramirez is my favorite restaurant in town. It's the most low-key place, but the food is something special. The drinks are served yourself, and you can either order with a waitress or at the counter. I've had the pozole (cured my hangover immediately), the chico burrito with asada or carnitas (perfect size for me), and the sopes (all the kind I've had were so great). Definitely try out all the salsas, and pick up a stack of tortillas to-go on your way out.” - Yelper Katie Rose C.

Louisiana: Taqueria Habaneros, New Orleans

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in NOLA, Taqueria Habaneros is made for you. The birria tacos are a fan favorite, but every menu item is flavorful and made from scratch, including the tortillas. The pricing is shockingly reasonable for such great food, and the burritos are enormous.

“This place is sooo good. We ordered for the first time this past weekend and will definitely be back. I got two birria tacos with rice and beans and a margarita, my husband got the birria burrito, and our daughter got the kids' hot dog and nuggets. We also got queso and guacamole. Everything was so delicious, but my favorites were the rice and beans. Honestly could have made a meal out of that. The margarita was off the chain, too. All of this cost less than $50. That's crazy! Normally, when we order food, at least one of us is like, meh. Not with this place. Everyone loved the food. My only complaint is we didn't get enough chips to last for our queso and guacamole leftovers, but we will ask for extra next time.” - Yelper Shelbie J.

Maine: El El Frijoles, Sargentville

No, it’s not a typo. There are two “Els”, and El El Frijoles is twice as delicious as most places. This untraditional burrito spot is eccentric but amazing. Maine is known for seafood, and El El Frijoles doesn’t disappoint. The spicy lobster burrito is the top choice, along with lobster tacos and fresh guacamole. When the weather’s warm, guests can enjoy their meals out in the sun on quaint picnic benches.

“We love El El Frijoles!! Michael, the owner, was so kind and funny and passionate about his restaurant. The food was UNBELIEVABLE. Possibly the best burritos and nachos we have EVER had. In addition, it was very affordable and the ambiance was amazing. We ate in this beautiful little garden house and truly had an overall lovely experience!!” - Yelper Sari G.

Maryland: Tacos Tolteca, Baltimore

Can you handle the dragon? The burrito dragon, that is. A signature dish of Tacos Tolteca, it’s massive, filled with carne asada, beans and grilled onions, and garnished with fresh queso, chorizo and pico de gallo. It’s intimidatingly delicious and bigger than you would imagine. Save your appetite, because you’re going to need it!

“This place is so good! Luis is lovely. Make sure you don't over-order because their portions are HUGE. We had vegetarian tacos and the dragon burrito, which is smothered in cheese and mole. I mean, soooooo good. It was $25 for two people, and you get free chips and refills. You could probably do it for $15, but we ordered with our eyes. Haha.” -Yelper Mari C.

Massachusetts: Sabroso Taqueria, Boston

Sabroso, which means “tasty” in Spanish, is a fast casual chain that lives up to its name. Street taco fans should look elsewhere, but if you like something clean, simple and Chipotle-esque, Sabroso is the one for you. You’re not going to find burritos covered in sauce and melted cheese, but you will find a somewhat healthier style of Mexican food, conveniently located downtown. The shrimp burrito is a fan favorite, so give it a try if you’re into seafood.

“If you are looking for a quick place to get your Mexican food fix over lunch, this is one of the best in Boston. Has a great burrito and burrito bowl and one of the best quesadillas that I have found in the area.” - Yelper Erik S.

Michigan: Loco Burrito, Saugatuck

OK, weirdly enough this Yelp page says it’s called El Burrito Feliz, but the sign outside and menu at this gem of a restaurant in Saugatuck calls it Loco Burrito (not to be confused with the Illinois El Burrito Loco chain). If you want delicious Tex-Mex fare, with bottomless chips and salsa and margaritas the size of your face, this is the place to go in Michigan. And, yes, the burrito options are plentiful and massive.

“By far the best Mexican food I and my family have ever had (and that's coming from people who have tried multiple places for Mexican food)! Every little thing was amazing, from the margaritas to the guacamole and all of our entrées. We live in Grand Rapids and plan on driving here just for their food! It's a must-try if you’re in Saugatuck! - Yelper Kayla T.

Minnesota: Maya Cuisine, Minneapolis

Maya Cuisine has been around for awhile, and it has many devoted fans. Not only are the portions generous and the prices low, but the food is incredible. From authentic elote to five-star huarache with barbacoa beef, everything is made with just the right amount of spice. Mm, mm, good!

"I usually get the carne asada burrito! Everything is very affordable (usually under $15,) and you'll have extra to take home. If you go there, strike up a conversation with the people working, and they are sure to give you the best Mexican cuisine you've had in the Twin Cities!" —Yelper Shiny S.

Mississippi: Burrito Zone & Tamales, D'Iberville

Burrito Zone doesn’t have a ton of frills, but that’s a good thing. The food tastes more like it was made with love in someone’s kitchen, not in an assembly line — especially the tamales, which are AH-MAZING!

“They reel you in with the "Chipotle" style line, but their tamales really get you with the homemade feel. Their chicken tamales were green chile and really hit the spot for me as I was visiting Biloxi for Thanksgiving. They have lots of options (although they didn't have al pastor when I went, which I was really looking forward to), large and clean area, great service, and not too far from hotels and main shopping areas. I will definitely be back for their carne asada burrito (or maybe al pastor if they bring it back), salsa and amazing tamales.” - Yelper Jean-Paul Z.

Missouri: El Patron, Kansas City

When you’re in Kansas City and looking for good Mexican food, you have to head to Southwest Boulevard, which is lined with authentic Mexican restaurants. A local favorite is El Patron, known for its delicious food — especially its queso dip. You can also expect a delicious burrito with a strong margarita to wash it down.

“Really good food at a great price. The burrito de la casa is probably the best burrito in kc and the cheese dip is a must-have. Enjoy and you won't regret it.” - Yelper Carlos O.

Montana: Rise and Shine Cafe, Bozeman

If you love breakfast food, look no further. Rise and Shine is all about this important meal, especially when it comes in burrito form. The menu has six sinfully delicious breakfast burritos, plus a surprise burrito of the week to keep things interesting. Late sleepers might just be willing to rise and shine to make it here before the morning rush!

“OMG this place is a GEM! I thought I had found some new place for my buddy Steve and me to have breakfast. Shoot it has been around for some time. They serve lunch, too. I had the Montana Redneck for breakfast. OFF THE CHARTS GOOD. Do yourself a favor, and don't miss this place.” - Yelper Pete B.

Nebraska: For the Love of Food Truck, Bellevue

Have you noticed a theme? There are a lot of stupid-good food trucks out there, and For the Love of Food is one of them. The meats are slow-cooked to lock in moisture and flavor, and it does wonders. The buffalo chicken burrito, a signature confection combining spicy chicken breast with crispy potatoes and blue cheese, comes highly recommended. This place usually sells out before closing time, so get there early!

“This food truck in Bellevue, Nebraska, is great please for breakfast and lunch. My breakfast steak burrito was $6 and is huge! There are other types like sausage, bacon or chorizo. They also have biscuits and gravy. A nice hearty breakfast to start the day!” - Rani R.

Nevada: KoMex Fusion Express, Las Vegas

This is one of those burrito experiences you won’t soon forget. Escape the hubbub of casinos for a flavor experience like no other. KoMex Fusion effortlessly combines Korean, Chinese and Mexican cuisines into one dish. It’s hard to imagine until you’ve tried it, but the fusion burrito with bulgogi, Mexican rice, onions, pico de gallo, cilantro and lettuce is every bit as delicious as it sounds.

“This is a hole-in-the-wall type of place, and it's pretty small on the inside. I had the bulgogi beef burrito, and it was amazing. The flavor of the beef was just so good ,and everything put into the burrito was well proportioned. The kimchi sauce ... omg so yummy.” - Jeanmarie C.

New Hampshire: California Burritos, Nashua

Look, we don’t mean to rub in how awesome Cali’s burritos are, but New Hampshire clearly knows what’s what. There’s a Mexican joint aptly named California Burritos, and customer reviews surely show just how much it’s earned its title. This place has everything covered, fresh queso and guac included. If you (gasp!) don’t like burritos much, California Burritos' pupusas are rumored to be bombtastic.

“Best burrito I've had in my life. Steak, chicken and carnitas are all seasoned and cooked perfectly. Fish tacos are on point. Queso and guac are fresh and delicious. Gotta get the chips. Homemade, crisp and not oily. This entire restaurant is highly recommended if you're in Nashua.” - Yelper Jordan M.

New Jersey: Bollywood Grill, Lake Hiawatha

The most unique part of Bollywood Grill is that it offers a little of everything without cutting any corners. Usually, places that try to do it all end up with mediocre everything. Not here! Bollywood Grill offers both traditional Indian food, items you’d find at an outdoor market and fusian-style burritos with chicken tikka and falafel.

“This place has such a cool concept. With parts of the menu dedicated to street food, traditional dishes and fusion-type dishes, there are tons of choices. I tend to just take my time before placing my order and research any unfamiliar dishes. I have yet to be disappointed by anything on the menu.” -Yelper Dominique D.

New Mexico: El Chile Toreado, Santa Fe

It may not be Mexico, but it’s the next best thing. The tacos al pastor at El Chile Toreado are the best in the state, with some customers claiming to still be drooling about it for weeks after. Something about the combination of spiciness, slightly fatty cuts of meat and the surprising addition of pineapple make these tacos worth remembering.

“I have made it my mission to eat at a taco truck at least once a day while here in New Mexico, and this was my second taco truck stop. Excellent choice! Recommended by who I think was the owner, I had barbacoa (from the cheek of beef), and it was so delicious!” - Yelper Heike S.

New York: Jajaja, New York

Mexican food pretty much revolves around meat and cheese, so it was surprising to find a vegan restaurant with such rave reviews. Jajaja’s chorizo burrito isn’t actually made of chorizo at all. Instead, it’s made of seitan, a popular meat substitute. While it’s not identical to the real thing, it’s just as good, according to some reviewers.

“This is my favorite restaurant in NYC right now. I know, me, a cheese-LOVING meat eater. This place OUT DOES it. Every single thing I've tried has been delicious. This is my go-to spot to take out-of-towners; people are shocked when I tell them I'm bringing them to a vegan Mexican restaurant. Make sure to ask to try their hot sauces!!” -Yelper Sarah P.

North Carolina: Beer Barrio, Wilmington

Beer Barrio is part Mexican restaurant, part taproom. Founded by an New York veteran chef, Beer Bario is all about combining a passion for food and beer, and combining the flavors of both to create new, tantalizing tastes. The pressed burritos are essentially the child of a normal burrito and a quesadilla, and locals can’t get enough of them.

“I absolutely love Beer Barrio. More taco joint than Mexican restaurant, BB allows you to order tacos a la carte, alongside burritos, quesadillas and a host of libations. I chose the tequila-grilled chicken and beer-braised beef. Friends chose the quesadillas. Everything was wonderful.” - Yelper Mike P.

North Dakota: Taco Bros Food Truck, Fargo

Less food truck than food car, the teeny, tiny Taco Bros truck isn’t much to look at. The food doesn’t even look like you’d expect, with square, folded burritos. It’s not what one would call authentic Mexican, and the salsa is usually dumped messily on top, but it’s so tasty that it doesn’t matter.

“This was our first experience with a food truck. Needless to say we went back two days later. The food is amazing!!!! The first time we each ordered a Trust You Bro (I mentioned I needed corn tortillas), and we were not disappointed! I received a chicken taco and a beef tostada, both of which were perfectly seasoned. My husband received two chicken tacos, which were so good he went and got the bro burrito.” - Yelper Tamara N.

Ohio: Mi Burrito Mexican Grill, West Chester

If you’re looking for a make-your-own burrito experience with legit meats, skip the line at Chipotle, and come here. You start with a base just like you would there, but then, you can add multiple kinds of rice and beans, plus expertly cooked al pastor and any kind of salsa you can imagine. How many toppings can you fit into a single burrito? Come to Mi Burrito, and find out.

"Awesome! A true hidden gem! When my wife arrived, they asked if we were first-timers to the restaurant, and since we were, they let us sample almost every component of the burrito. Everyone was super friendly, and my wife's California tastebuds agreed that this was an awesome burrito. If you get a fully loaded burrito, it's about the size of an American football! I definitely recommend stopping by and grabbing one!" —Yelper William M.

Oklahoma: Cali Burrito, Lawton

Another shoutout to the West Coast, Cali Burrito Express is a Lawton favorite. The owner was born in Mexico and raised in California, so he knows his stuff about what makes an awesome burrito. The ingredients are fresh, and you can customize every item, from burritos to taco salads, to make them just the way you want. Or you can just get the works — the Burrito California is stuffed with your choice of meat, fries, bacon, lettuce, cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, guac and the secret chipotle sauce.

“Wow … These burritos are HUGE!!! Go here very hungry!! We could not finish these ,and we were very hungry. They have other items on the menu like tacos, quesadillas, etc., but you can't go to a burrito joint without getting a burrito, right?!” -Yelper Nicole S.

Oregon: La Parrilla Kitchen, Portland

Known for its grilled carne asada burrito, La Parrilla Kitchen makes up for its unoriginal menu with unmatched quality. Sure, they’re “just burritos” — no creative spins or startling flavors, but when you stick with what you know, you become a master. That’s exactly what the chefs at La Parrilla have done.

“So, I totally rolled my eyes when I read one reviewer claim that this was the best burrito he has had in his entire life because, well, gravity of words and empty sort of promises. But he wasn't wrong ... this burrito ties with Oaxacan burritos. Gooey, cheesy, moist and somehow every bite is the same ... generously portioned and reasonably priced.” -Yelper Katso O.

Pennsylvania: Baby Loves Tacos, Pittsburgh

There’s something special about hole-in-the-wall taco joints. Baby Loves Tacos may not have much to offer in terms of seating — and we mean nothing, it has literally no place to sit — but its breakfast burrito has a near-cult following. It’s only served in the morning, but it’s worth getting up early for. Though bacon is a popular add-on, it also has plenty of vegan options.

“The breakfast burrito with bacon is the best burrito EVER! Actually anything with their bacon is amazing.” - Yelper Eric R.

Rhode Island: Paco's Tacos, Cranston

Rhode Island isn’t renowned for its tacos, but this taco truck changes things. Get burritos, tacos, tortas and flautas, all topped with their housemade guacamole. And we love the surfer artwork that creates a beach vibe.

“Hands down the best nachos you will ever have. I dare you to try and find better! Everything here is so good. The burritos are delicious and huge. The taquitos are crunchy and delicious. The staff is super rad and easy going. It's such a cute place where you can eat either inside or out and experience the mexi-Cali vibe.” - Yelper Amanda M.

South Carolina: Tacos Nayarit, Columbia

Tacos Nayarit came from humble beginnings. It was once a food truck, but it was so insanely popular that the owners decided to go brick and mortar. It’s not a fancy, sit-down restaurant, going for the make-your-own burrito model instead. Choose from a burrito, taco or gordita with a churro and the best horchata you’ll ever taste.

“AMAZING! Seriously amazing. This tiny little hole-in-the-wall place makes the best tacos that I've ever had in my whole life. Seriously. Everything from the homemade corn tortillas to the perfectly seasoned carne asada … this place is perfect. Do yourself a favor, and come stuff your face here.” - Yelper Maria K.

South Dakota: Jacky’s Restaurant, Sioux Falls

There are two kinds of people in the world — those who like their burritos clean and simple and those who like them wet. Not soggy, just utterly drenched in sauce and cheese. This Guatemalan restaurant serves up wet burritos like they’re going out of style. The shrimp wet burrito and wet Christmas burrito are particularly popular among locals.

“Shrimp wet burrito and lime margarita on the rocks! Service is always fast and friendly! Any burrito is delicious from here!” - Yelper Bailey Kay T.

Tennessee: Carreta, Mount Juliet

By now, you’ve probably realized that fast food doesn’t have to taste like it. And Carretta delivers authentic Mexican food made-to-order and with reasonable prices. As an added bonus, there’s a drive-thru for those nights when you need to shove something delicious in your face with as little effort as humanly possible.

“Just moved here from California, and we have tried so many different Mexican restaurants, but nothing is as good as this place. Food was perfect and delicious! Customer service was awesome. I'm proud to say we have finally found a great "home away from home" hispanic cuisine spot!” - Yelper Joe G.

Texas: Cabo Bob’s, Austin

There aren’t too many chains on this list, but this one made the cut — and of all the Tex-Mex in Texas no less. Cabo Bob’s is based in Austin, and it’s five locations serve up special, seasoned tortillas that are to die for. Smoky cheddar is one of the best tortilla options, made from scratch with unbleached wheat flour. True to the very nature of Texas, the brisket at Cabo Bob’s is on point.

“First time coming here and we decided to try the deluxe fish and the brisket burrito. The brisket burrito is huge, the fish was very good, and both were more than fulfilling.” - Yelper Patricia H.

Utah: Tacos La Pasadita, Green River

Is it a food truck? Is it an old gas station? Yes. The setup is a little unconventional, but the food is stellar. If you’re a Mexican food veteran or feeling brave, try the lengua or tripas. If you’re not convinced by the rave reviews, the sheer loveliness of the owners will push you over the edge. When one customer left her purse there, the owner offered to mail it to her free of charge, as she’d done previously for more than one busy traveler. So nice!

“I love this place. It is memorable and a must-stop when driving through Utah, especially when there are so few options along the highway. Even if there were some great options, I would still make a stop here to enjoy authentic home-cooked food. The chorizo and carnitas tacos are the standouts for me. There is plenty of flavor, and a stop at the salsa bar to add some raw onions, cilantro and their salsa verde is a must to round out the tortillas and meat.” - Yelper Chris B.

Vermont: New World Tortilla, Burlington

There aren't tons of options for quality Mexican food in Vermont, but New World Tortilla is an exception. They're the only wholesale and retail tortilla bakery in the state and Burlington's only independently owned wrap shop. Yes, we said wrap. Not all of the burritos are traditional Mexican burritos, but they're delicious all the same.

“These wraps are gigantic and full. The flavors are amazing. I love the second wrapping inside as a pouch that collects any juiciness. We ordered two, and they were done in like 5 minutes with great service from the staff.” - Yelper Kasie C.

Pepe’s is well known as the best place to get authentic Mexican food in Richmond, and the Yelp reviews back up the hype. There are plenty of fun and delicious meat-free options, in addition to the usual offerings. Steak fajitas, tender pork, fresh margaritas — need we say more?

"I am vegetarian, so I love when the options are unique! I had the Goatacado Burrito. Very spicy and full of delicious vegetables, including potatoes, avocado and fresh spinach." - Yelper Jennifer C.

Washington: Los Agaves, Seattle

Pike Place Market is hard to miss when you’re visiting Seattle, but it’s not just a tourist destination. The market is filled with family-owned businesses, including Los Agaves. Admittedly, there are dozens of food options in the market, including addictive miniature donuts and seafood that can’t get any fresher, but Los Agaves easily holds its own. The tortillas are handmade, and the food is as flavorful as it comes.

“It took some laps around the market to find this place but SO WORTH IT! Best breakfast burrito I've EVER had. I'm from Las Vegas, and this place tops anything I've had back home. If you are a fan of traditional Mexican food, you have to come here.” - Yelper Christopher H.

West Virginia: Maria's Taqueria, Shepherdstown

Maria’s Taqueria is a delightful blend of quaint, quick and delectable. The chalkboard menu features traditional tacos, massive burritos smothered in house-made queso and mouthwatering, crispy fish tacos. There are “carnivore” and “herbivore” options, so everyone can enjoy!

“Quick, tasty and cheap. A combination that can't be beaten. Although the fish tacos are probably our favorite, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.” - Yelper Phil G.

Wisconsin: Café Corazón, Milwaukee

Café Corazón, with three Milwaukee locations, knows how to deliver in the wet burrito department. After you pick between beef, pork, chorizo, chicken and shrimp, you can expect staff to pile on beans, rice, cheese, avocado and lime crema. Then it gets fun. The already-giant burrito is covered in enchilada sauce and jack cheese, with a drizzle of more lime crema as a finishing touch.

“Their margaritas are great and strong (for me, a light weight, but maybe for others, too?) and I love their soy chorizo tacos. Also a good idea to start with chips, salsa and guacamole. It's so cozy and welcoming, but go on the earlier side as they usually have a wait since it's tight quarters. Their brunch is also fantastic.” - Yelper Ellie B.

Wyoming: Fiesta Mexican Restaurant, Jackson

Jackson is known for its exceptional skiing, and Fiesta Mexican Restaurant is the perfect spot to get your burrito fix after a day on the slopes. It’s not exactly cheap, but the portions are reasonable for the price, and the simple menu items are a welcome break from all the fancy resort food nearby. No pretenses and not much ambiance — just really, really good burritos.

“This little gem may lack atmosphere, but the food makes up for it. Everything was hot, fresh and tasty. A little higher priced than a typical Mexican restaurant; however, this is Jackson! Would definitely recommend this to anyone.” - Yelper Angela M.
