ISO a decent burrito. Tried Las Pinatas' chorizo burrito: chorizo wrapped in a tortilla, then dry-grilled. Well, okay, thank you. Have fond memories of LA burrito: black beans, fresh tomatoes, crunchy greens, chiles, tangy...

Are you looking for a Mission Burrito with rice (being the key), choice of beans and a meat? The ones that are usually wrapped tightly and as big as your head. Los Contaros on Grand in Oakland does an okay job but it can be...

some lime juice or something. The problem is that the wet stuff gets all over everything. Adding hot sauce doesn’t help. And it’s not like the results were such taste sensations either. I did like the beans at Burrito...

Nick’s Crispy Taco’s is all about the fish tacos. Not much else worth eating there. Casa Mexicana on 24th Street in Noe Valley makes pretty good burritos. My favorite is what I call El Burrito Negro: rice, black beans,...

My dad is craving a mariscos burrito. He keeps asking for one like we get at Gutierrez Drive-In in Salinas, but that’s 100 miles away. These are made with just seafood rolled up in a small, grilled flour tortilla. No beans,...

I love the Chicken Burrito at Tacos Via Corona over on Glendale in Atwater Village. Easy to access off the 5 fwy (Glendale exit). Mouthwatering and juicy chicken, beans, and a nice amount of cheese— no overkill. It’s...

that are ubiquitous in San Francisco. The difference? In San Diego you will never find rice in the burrito, and very rarely find beans (unless it is a bean burrito). Just stewed or chopped meat, salsa, cilantro, maybe some onion...

LAS FUENTES!!! It’s in Reseda, so it’s neither in North Hollywood or on your way home from Burbank, but I will tell you that this is a place of pilgrimage for me. The burrito pollo con rajas is delicious, so is their...

...not at Burrito Boys. Frankly, I’m hard-pressed to think of a better cheap lunch to go in the downtown core. My favourite? Small beef (Cumbrae Farms) with everything but sour cream – the homemade chili-lime burrito...

, beans, cilantro, onions, rice, salsa, mole, cream, lemon or lime, nectar, ambrosia, etc., etc. My first guess was that this was some kind of regional variation, but then I was told that a burrito is basically a...

It’s passable, but nothing special. I used to work near city hall and never did find a decent burrito place in the area. Here’s one recommendation to make burritoville passable: try the Route 66...

the guacamole inside the burrito. I also like Downtown Bakery, but they don’t have whole beans. The Calexico cart is decent, but they have very limited hours.

knockoff style, typified in this area by Baja Fresh, which has grilled meat, salsa and a little bit of beans, and the more traditional L.A. El Tepeyac style, with stewed, shredded meat and soupy beans (and sometimes rice) While...

tortillas. Before I knew it, I’d bought tomatoes, rice, black beans, white onions...everything but sour cream (they don’t really have it here) and cilantro (this is strictly sage-basil-rosemary country). And believe...

names the Burritovile burrito as his top pick is absolutely laughable. The burritos there are the farthest thing from a true Cal-Mex experience, starting with their insistence on serving only BROWN RICE (feh) and black beans (no...
