Burrito bueno
 
To go along with DeltaSigStan's sandwich shop thread, what about great burrito places? I know of 2 in Charleston, SC... SoCal Burritos (before you Southern Californians knock it, the owner is a recent transplant from San Diego...) and Yo Burrito. Both Great.

I know its trite, but I dig Chipotle. One of those things can feed me for about 3 days.

You are right, it literally can feed you for 3 days...

California Tortilla has a bunch of locations around DC. I had it for lunch today!

Anna's Taqueria in Boston (Brookline) is great. Quick food that's excellent. Even rated highly by Zagat, especially for what amounts to a fast food place.

El Pelon Taqueria is very good too; not as good as Anna's though.

Yes, but with all due respect, I try to remain as anonymous as possible online. Just a thing I like to do, hence my non-activity in most other boards on here, and across the net. I enjoy the discussions and company on here, so I contribute, but most of my online discussion activity is very limited. I am sorry if this is unfavorable...

MY GOD! My burrito has 1079 calories at Chipotle. I still think they are tastey.

Cactus Cantina is good too, its on Wisconsin.

My husband could eat a Pancheros burrito twice a day, every day if I let him. (I prefer their quesadillas). LaBambas has awesome burritos but you have to be good and drunk to really experience them.

adpialumcsuc 07-19-2004 05:10 PM

I love Chipotle and it definately feeds you for days.

jharb 07-19-2004 05:11 PM

I'm a fan of Qdoba and La Bambas! I think both are regional chains but they are so good!

sigtau305 07-19-2004 05:44 PM

Luchita's in Shaker Square makes the best one.

dgfromtx 07-19-2004 08:54 PM

Freebirds in College Station! Yum.

swissmiss04 07-19-2004 09:44 PM

I love Qdoba too! The Chicken Mole is sooo sooo good. I also like Moe's SW Grill and a little place in Montgomery called El Rey Burrito Lounge. They have lots of organic and unusual ingredients and a really funky/indie atmosphere.

Rio_Kohitsuji 07-19-2004 09:48 PM

Burrito Buggy in Athens Ohio :) *yum*

Bad thing is it's only there during the OU school year.. :(

wreckingcrew 07-19-2004 11:32 PM

Freebirds Burrito in College Station is by far the best.

They've also put franchises in Dallas, Austin and Houston.

I think the founder has a burrito place somewhere in Cali, but the Freebirds ones are the best.

cosign on Freebirds... here in Houston I eat there at least once a week :) (and Amy's ice cream for dessert!)

Mission Burritos are also mighty tasty

I just had that the other day! Was so good! I love the Chicken Queso one as well!

kikis has a terrific picadillo burrito.
three sisters has a good breakfast burrito

KSigkid 07-20-2004 09:35 AM

Reading this makes me crave a burrito...too bad Anna's is so far away from work.

TheEpitome1920 07-20-2004 09:37 AM

Fiesta Mexicana (on Lincoln Ave.)
Taco Bell isn't that bad

The new taco bell menu scares me...potatoes in a burrito?!? I do like the grilled stuffed burrito though.

This might sound weird but I miss the cafeteria breakfast burritos at my old job. The girls there made a vegetarian homemade New Mexico green chile sauce that was to die for. Spicy enough to make your nose run, packed with flavor, drowning the burrito.... so good. I've tried to learn how to make it but I can't get the flavor right.

KSigkid 07-20-2004 01:27 PM

Oh, forgot about Boca Grande...I believe it's owned by the same people who own Anna's, and it take credit cards. Good stuff, not quite as good as Anna's but close.

Whoo hooo, so glad to hear I will be able to have good Mexican food when I move up to Boston. I was told it was one thing hard to find.

Then again, there is always Plaza Azteca down at college in VA.

_Lisa_ 07-20-2004 02:02 PM

Definitely Qdoba, I've loved it ever since it was Z-Teca!

Not really - I've been around the southwest, out west, and there are some good places here.

I'd definitely recommend Casa Romero - it's a sit-down, very romantic restaurant with GREAT food. It's one of my two or three favorite places to eat in Boston. It's over in the Copley Square area and has a website (although the exact site escapes me).

Sol Azteca is another restaurant with solid food, although it's not as good as Casa Romero. It's on Beacon Street near Boston U.

For fast Mexican food, it's Anna's, El Pelon and Boca Grande in that order.
