I honestly know someone who would buy a burrito just because Bob Marley is in the title. So sad.

You want a good authentic burrito, get over to Chronic Tacos in San Clemente, CA

[...] Kati Roll & AQ Cafe both drop from a 22 to a 20, ‘wichcraft goes from 21 to 20 and Burritoville drops one number to 16. Mandoo Bar in Koreatown and Menchanko Tei both went up one point from 19 [...]

i just moved to manhattan from boston there’s no question that nyc beats boston in every other food category and am excited to try out the overwhelming number of excellent eateries out there. i am however disappointed to hear that there are no good burrito joints here. when i was in boston i really enjoyed anna’s taqueria, felipe’s (in harvard square and tastes almost identical to anna’s) and boca grande (on mass ave between porter and harvard and a few other locations in town) in my opinion better than anna’s/felipe’s bc the portions are bigger and you get a larger variety of fillings (lemon grilled chicken, chicken colorado, beef birria, they have good tamales as well), not just chicken/carnitas/beef/veggies. the burritos are always well-wrapped with piping hot and chewy tortillas, not like the half loose/thick/wrap-y ones i’ve seen in nyc so far. i guess this comment is for those of you who might be in boston with a burrito craving sometime soon. go try boca grande!!

[...] I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there are no great burritos in New York City. Say what you will about Chipotle, Burritoville, Burrito Box or any other number of places- they all pale in comparison to any Burrito you will get in San Francisco, Los Angeles (or even a few places in Boston- like the often mentioned Anna’s Taqueria). Bread Market Cafe doesn’t change my mind about this. Despite being called “Mission Style Burritos”, they are mediocre burritos salvaged by the addition of one ingredient: the fried plantain. That’s not to say it wasn’t decent. The sweetness of the plantain mixes so well with the rice and beans and meat, this new invention can’t be ignored. If I went back, I would go with the plain chicken and it would probably be better. [...]

Anyone want a burrito better than Baja Fresh? Look no farther than New Haven, CT on the corner of Elm and York. Roomba’s burrito cart purveys the best burritos on earth, esp. the element of tasty corn slaw.
