Gordito's (Seattle, WA)
Score: 8.5 / 10 Reviewed by: BraceFanare
My kids and I have been going to Gordito's for special occasions for years even though we live 15 miles north. The place is clean but not modern. The staff is in tune with the culture and very busy. The food is made right there at the counter so you can see everything going on. The prices are reasonable and the selection is expansive. Parking in the area can be tough but across the street behind the theater is a pay lot.
We most often go for the baby burrito. This is an infant size burrito (no lie) that is given free to those who bring their babies in to get the burrito and have the baby photographed. Photos of recent visitors adorn the walls in the front of the restaurant. Four to six people can feast on one baby burrito. Yum!
Gordo Taqueria (Clement) (San Francisco, CA)
Score: 9 / 10 Reviewed by: Glory927
I grew up in San Francisco and have always loved the burritos from
Gordo's. I just learned, however, that the rice is not vegetarian. (I never would have thought about it, but when I asked if the beans were vegetarian-which they are- I was told that the rice was prepared with chicken stock.) Hope they change that or add a vegetarian option because these are some of the best burritos in the city!
El Farolito (Mission/24th) (San Francisco, CA)
Score: 10 / 10 Reviewed by: fermentedpigass
I can't believe that the biggest complaint about this place is it's full of "hipsters"... Wake up, retards! You're on a burrito reviewing websight talking about a god-damned burrito slinging joint in the burrito eating mission...YOU ARE A FUCKING HIPSTER!
That said, the pig here is great. Eat it! They never screw up my order, and when I come in with my kid, they always give me a carrot for free because they know us by face and I've asked them a dozen times. That's pretty cool for a place that sees thousands of faces a day.
Sure, it's a shit hole and the lines are long. Get your burrito to go. It's that kind of place.
Las Palomas Taqueria (San Mateo, CA)
Score: 9.5 / 10 Reviewed by: direchucko
i was trolling the crazy web when i discovered this sight. i looked up my favorite local taqueria, and signed up just so i could write a review. i grew up in san mateo, and there are amazing taquerias all over town. but nothing beats las palomas. it has a cozy atmosphere, the staff is ALWAYS courteous and friendly, and the burritos are the best in town. seriously, the best in town. i won't bore you with trying to convince you why. if you go, you will become a regular. try something different every trip. they have the best red chicken around, and the shrimp burrito is the best i've ever had. i lived in santa cruz for a few years, and i missed this place more than anything else about san mateo.
cheers.....
Taqueria Guadalajara (San Leandro, CA)
Score: 7.5 / 10 Reviewed by: Bureatofan
I have been going to Taqueria Guadalajara for many years and have had maybe a hundred or two hundred burritos there. I tend to get the Al Pastor but they also have a steak and mushroom that I like a lot. I considered it the best burrito in this area for a long time, but their quality has dropped a little in the last year or so, however still a very fine burrito! I just had a steak and mushroom burrito that weighed in at 30 oz. and cost $6.09! A pretty good deal if you ask me. I prefer flavor to quantity, and they deliver on that score. The tortillas are steamed and you can get whole beans or refried (I go for the refried). I watch them grill the steak and mushrooms while I wait. It can get busy in there, but they crank out a lot of food, so the wait is not very long, even when the line is out the door. I prefer a dry burrito, and theirs are a little wet for my taste. The steak and mushroom includes bell peppers and onions,mushrooms, beans and cheese. The Al Pastor has a great flavor but usually has some gristle (which cost them a half a point). They come nicely wrapped in aluminum foil (which is handy because I can only eat half of one at a sitting, so it's easy to wrap) and you can get red or green sauce with them if you ask. Also, there is parking out back if the front is full. I would put them in the top three in the San Leandro area and definitely worth a try if you're in the area.
El Cid (N Kedzie) (Chicago, IL)
Score: 9.5 / 10 Reviewed by: bhilk
The deep fried burrito is heaven. A little off the beaten path but well worth it. I have always liked the kedzie location better. The food has been more consistant. Also there margarhitas will knock you on your but. If your not in the mood for a burrito the tacos arefantastic and the mole sausce is to die for. Well priced to. A nice step up from the usaul burrito stands in chicago.
Taqueria Vallarta (24th St) (San Francisco, CA)
Score: 7.5 / 10 Reviewed by: SaltyBoatr
If quality can be evaluated by popularity, full of repeat customers this perpetually busy place wins. More, it is popular both with the Latino's and Hipsters, which says something. The large dining area seems constantly occupied. I give it a score of only 7.5 because it is just straight ahead working class plain and honest, not frou-frou classy artistry (like El Metate).
The quaint, (actually plain crazy) murals on the walls depicting the "history" of San Francisco, (purely made up fiction) are worth seeing at least once just for the entertainment factor. (Also, don't miss the Balmy Alley murals immediately outside to the east.) I am not a carnivore, so I can only comment to the fish burrito (satisfyingly good enough) and the vegetarian burritos which I like. Though I cannot say that I have tried all seven varieties of vegetarian burrittos on the menu, (which is more vegetarian choices than any other Taqueria in the Mission of which I am aware).
That said, judging from the popularity among the clientele, Taqueria Vallarta seems to enjoy most of its business selling tacos, which look scrumptious.
Bahia don Bravo (San Diego, CA)
Score: 5.5 / 10 Reviewed by: BrianAlbers
After seeing all the high marks for Bahia don Bravo on the site here, I decided to try it out for myself. I must've hit them on an off-day, because my burrito was nowhere worthy of a 9 or 10. There was nothing specifically bad about it; it was just so unabashedly average and totally unremarkable. To call it disappointing would be going a little too far, because after all it was a buncha carne asada and pica de gallo wrapped up in a nice tortilla. But the meat was one step away from being flavorless, and the pico was making an effort to liven it up, but wasn't really succeeding.
The one aspect of Bahia don Bravo that immediately jumped out at me as being quite a bit more impressive than so many other taco shops was the salsa bar, with numerous green and red salsa choices as well as the fixin's- onions, cilantro, jalapenos, carrots, cucumbers, and I'm sure some other condiments that I'm just not remembering right now. Of course, adding those salsas and other tasty bits resulted in an improved burrito, but I think overall Bahia don Bravo has a long way to go before I start throwing out 8s or 9s or 10s.
Free, medium sized parking lot which almost always has available spots, and if not, there's plenty of free street parking around. But no bathroom for washing up if I remember correctly.
Cuco's (San Francisco, CA)
Score: 10 / 10 Reviewed by: TedBike3000
Been coming here for some 14 years....love the food (Salvadorean spice), love Carmens enthusiasm about the food. My girlfriend has actually ordered herself a Chile Relleno Burrito often enough that they put it on the menu. Learned to ask for the salsa they keep under the counter (the hot stuff). Fresh ingredients, subtle spices, moist meats and Regia beer (the big bottle!). I'm 240lbs and their burritos are filling. Been turning my veggie friend onto the plantain burrito.
El Tepeyac (Los Angeles, CA)
Score: 8 / 10 Reviewed by: VeeLicious
Their Chili Verde Nachos were delish. It was like a wild party in my mouth O.0 The menudo is good. Burritos are huge compared to King Taco's. God why couldn't King Taco's be bigger :/ Sure you can find better mexican food than El Tepeyac but if you're in the Boyle Heights area, stop by. It's an experience....
Taqueria De Amigos (San Mateo, CA)
Score: 1 / 10 Reviewed by: bgrier
Great spot for a burrito just off 101. I have been coming here for years. Personal favorite is the Pollo (steamed chicken). The moisture of the chicken blends exceptionally well with the rice and pinto beans to make the perfect Pollo burrito. Friends give high marks to the Carnitas, Pastor and Carne Asada but I can't bring myself to stray from the pollo. Super burrito comes with Cheese, guac and sour cream for $6.95. Service is fast - by the time you load up at the salsa bar (fresh chips, radishes, pickled peppers/carrots/onions, 3 types of salsa), the runner is bringing your well wrapped burrito out to your table.
They also have good aqua fresca (melon, hibiscus and horchata typically). Old school spot in a strip mall that consistently delivers a great burrito.
El Charrito Taqueria (San Carlos, CA)
Score: 7 / 10 Reviewed by: Alicia94070
Okay. So this is not a"bell's and whistles" joint, but I like it! I come here for one item- regular pollo asado burrito, no rice, extra cilantro and onion. Add 3 cups red salsa and 3 cups green, fabulous. Although the salsabar looks jenky, the combo is superb. Perfect size burrito, $5.45 total with free chips and salsa, good to go. Plus, I find myself having cravings for this burrito. Can't go wrong with that!
Taqueria Mi Ranchito (San Carlos, CA)
Score: 7.5 / 10 Reviewed by: Alicia94070
My favorite burrito here is (and has been for the last 12+ years) is the "kids buritto". I first had it during my vegetarian days in highschool, although in hindsight doubt the refried's are veg. friendly. Very simple.. Copious amounts of refried beans, cheese and their super fresh, out of this world pico de gallo. Simple, delicious, very filling, and 4$. Definitely agree with the reviewer who mentioned the kitchen smell if you come in through the back, but, I usually order to go.
Puentez Taqueria (San Rafael, CA)
Score: 9.5 / 10 Reviewed by: Alicia94070
My boyfriend turned me on to this place, and now I am addicted. Initially I was turned off because they don't have a salsa bar, but the taste is great without as they add the salsa(s) to the burrito for you! I have to say, I love "simple" burritos- standard for me is pollo asado, beans, NO RICE, extra cilantro and onion and a gang 'o salsa on the side. Every single time I have eaten here, it has been fantastic and no gristly bits in the meat :) Also, a MUST TRY, corn quesadilla with cheese, pinto beans and pico de gallo only. The corn tortilla is a perfect mixture of both crispy and tender, the cheese stringy and melty, ugh. I want one right now. My boyfriend and I joke about how, someday, we will just order 5 of those and make it a meal. Try it!!! FYI, BF always gets the carne asada super delux, and loves it every time. Has been going there for over 10 years. Enjoy!!
Gordo Taqueria (Berkeley, CA)
Score: 9 / 10 Reviewed by: smogdude
I was originally introduced to this place by my girlfriend, who's now my wife.. she worked within a mile or so and would frequent this little spot next to domino's pizza. My first time there I had what I believe was pollo asado, but it was marinating in such a delicious sauce... my usual encounters with grilled chicken are on the less saucy side. Their meats have a wonderful flavor, full of spices and seasonings.. Well beyond what lesser taquerias offer.. aside from that their integration is good, they'll customize as need be and offer the most important factor in my opinion: consistancy.
Every burrito I've had there is good. I typically stick to chicken or chile verde.. but add avocado, jalapenos and hot sauce and you have a burrito flavor profile to me that is darn near perfection. This place is a solid 9 in my opinion, irregardless of salsas offered or their small dining area.. grading is for quality of slab only.
Los Jalapenos (Bend, OR)
Score: 5.5 / 10 Reviewed by: eydaimon
Ordered a burrito with shredded pork. Got a lot of meat. Some rice and refried beans. The burrito was very warm. I prefer to have burritos come with some salsa and salad to give it some cool touch rather than just steaming hot meat and beans. This wasn't one for that. Some cheese was in there too, but not much. All in all I thought the meat was a bit too salty, and the burrito felt like a big hot sloppy blob. It wasn't bad, but nothing to cheer for either. The atmosphere was pretty good otherwise. Typical small mexican place.
Taco Stand (Bend, OR)
Score: 5 / 10 Reviewed by: eydaimon
pretty unimpressive and bland burrito. I believe it had the right ingredients but did not make me feel like I need to return there for more. Sloppy refried beans and cheap ingredients. The price was good, and it felt like a typical mexican small joint, but alas, the burritos did not reflect it.
Tacos Moreno (Merrill College) (Santa Cruz, CA)
Score: 9.5 / 10 Reviewed by: texblues
Been going here for years, during projects in the Santa Cruz area I would make special trips just for lunch.....I still come to this place every time I'm in Santa Cruz. Just the right mixture of seasoning, the salsa in a bottle is freaking out of this world, there is nothing I don't like about this place. Can get a line out the door at peak times, but they turn em fast. Don't want them to change anything, except maybe another location near Concord!

Tequilas Taqueria (San Jose, CA)
Score: 8 / 10 Reviewed by: DrKaos
Tequilas is a fine local mom and pop taqueria that makes reliably tasty burritos. You'll get a free bowl of chips, multiple trips to the salsa bar, which is loaded with the usual pico, pickled jalapenos, plus limes, lemons, radishes, fresh serranos, and at least three home-made salsas ranging from mild and vinegary to potent chile paste. Occasionally they have an avocado based green sauce (not guacamole).
The burritos are good sized, and not excessive flour tortilla. The veggie will deliver a large amount of whole pintos, rice, salsa, guac, sour cream and jack cheese. The tortillas are occasionally over-heated on the skillet resulting in dry, flaky and falling apart, but this is not often an issue.
Overall, a good, local and cheap burrito joint.
