347781 Sun Dec 03 17:48:03 -0800 2006 73 2 Los Angeles Area 0 2066084 It's time to sample a new burrito. So you know.... My favorite is probably El Parian. I also enjoy Yuca's, Fast Taco (Santa Monica), King Taco, Juanita's (Eagle Rock), Lupe's, Taco Village, El Burrito Jr. (Redondo), Tito's, Poquito Mas, Gallegos, and El Molino de Oro (San Juan Capistrano). I've also had Frida, Teresitas, Tacos Por Favor, La Cabanita, Pepe's, Paco's, Tia Juana, Lare's, El Cholo, Algeria, El Compadre, Chano's, Talpa, Mrs. Garcia, El Tarasco, the place on Sawtelle near Tito's, Monte Alban, Juqilia, El Nopal, Holy Guaccamole, El Tepayac, El Arco Iris, Coral Cantina, Gilbert's, Benito's, La Playita, 7 Seas, Eduardo's, Border Grill, La Serranta, and all those little spots on and around Centinela and Inglewood in the Culver City / Mar Vista area. All of these are fair to good, IMO. Places I find too greasy or gristly are El Gran Burrito, Campos, that place on Western right off the 10, and basically all taco trucks. I've of course had chains like La Salsa, Baja Bud, Baja Fresh, and Sharky's. They're OK in a pinch. So, now that you know my burrito tastes, can you play matchmaker and find me a new burrito love? Sun Dec 03 17:48:03 -0800 2006 20574 scoot 1 2066113 The chile relleno burrito at Tere's Mexican Grill at the SE corner of Melrose at Cahuenga is very good, as are all the items I have had there so far. Sun Dec 03 17:58:24 -0800 2006 2066084 10359 carter 1 2066299 Rodeo Grill, one on Sunset in Echo Park and another branch on Olympic in Koreatown, has excellent burritos - I'm partial to their "enchilado" style - with sauce all over them. They have an excellent chile verde sauce for them but you have to ask for it, the default is the chile rojo, which is also very good. Their al pastor, carne asada and grilled chicken are all very good. They also have an excellent salsa bar. Sun Dec 03 19:38:02 -0800 2006 2066084 12292 estone888 2 2633777 One great thing about Rodeo Grill (Sunset and Lemoyne) is their plethora of self-serve housemade sauces and condiments! The burrito place around the corner on Echo Park and Sunset (Los Burritos? Next to the House of Spirits) has a delicious chile verde burrito and a satisfying chile relleno burrito - the beans are very flavorful (if not also highly caloric). Tue Jun 05 21:34:34 -0700 2007 2066299 103119 Vikzen 1 2066376 Where is Fast Taco? Sun Dec 03 20:17:06 -0800 2006 2066084 17914 EREDSON 2 2066544 In Santa Monica, on Ocean Park at around 30th. It's in the same complex as the Counter. I'm a big fan of the chicken burrito. Sun Dec 03 21:35:44 -0800 2006 2066376 20574 scoot 3 2577642 I used to be lucky enough to work across the street from there, I'm a huge fan of their carne asada burritos. The quesadillas are mighty tasty too. I miss Fast Taco. Thu May 17 08:54:37 -0700 2007 2066544 86892 Swervo 4 2841213 I'm thinking about eating at this place sometime in the next week... can you give me an idea of whats in their burrito? I'm a big fan of just the classic meat, beans, cheese, sour cream, tomato, lettuce etc... is this that sort of place? By the way.. I hate rice in my burritos... just fillar to me. Mon Aug 13 12:26:12 -0700 2007 2577642 101429 starqrtrs 1 2066576 Lately we've been getting the bean & cheese burrito with lots of pico de gallo at Chicos in Highland Park, Figueroa and Ave 50. But I've never tried Jaunita's in Eagle Rock--gonna try it now. Sun Dec 03 21:45:56 -0800 2006 2066084 10861 Babette 1 2066588 my two ultimate favorites are the carne asada burrito at el taurino (off of hoover in k-town) and at carnitas michoacan. Sun Dec 03 21:51:19 -0800 2006 2066084 16200 greengelato 1 2067085 I do suggest something! Get an asada burrito at Rincon Taurino. I prefer the original location on Nordhoff and Van Nuys Blvd (the Terra Bella corner actually). They usually won't speak English, so you gots ta order carefully and be attentive to your number being called en Espanol. Mon Dec 04 02:20:12 -0800 2006 2066084 19797 Otius Gojius 2 2161095 Second Rincon Taurino. Get the asada burrito and stipulate 'spicy' and your tastebuds will dance with joy. I actually prefer the smaller location on Nordoff just east of Van Nuys, as there is plenty of parking just behind and the burritos seem to be made slightly differently and more to my liking. Big, hearty, tasty burrito for less than 3 bucks. Sun Jan 07 02:00:17 -0800 2007 2067085 19215 okie 1 2068623 Carnitas Michaocan on No. Broadway above Chinatown at 19th. Good carne asada, excellent al pastor when sliced right off of the rotisserie spit. The best salsa roja -- deep rust color, complex, smoky, hot kick. Note -- there are other C.M. locations that don't compare to this one. Mon Dec 04 17:56:20 -0800 2006 2066084 10855 nosh 1 2068657 The Grand Central Market trifecta: Tomas, Roast to Go and Ana Maria's. GRAND CENTRAL MARKET 317 S.

Fri Jan 05 01:54:15 -0800 2007 2068657 22196 scuzm 2 2577796 Agree. The carnitas burrito at Ana Maria's is one of my favorites. Thu May 17 09:31:47 -0700 2007 2068657 10134 David Kahn 3 2578280 Carnitas ANYTHING at Ana Marias is EXCELLENT! :D --Dommy! Thu May 17 11:29:20 -0700 2007 2577796 10659 Dommy 2 2631255 I absolutely agree with all recommendations for Grand Central - i love Tomas! Tue Jun 05 09:23:32 -0700 2007 2068657 101542 redglowh 1 2069083 You MUST try Tacos Por Favor in Santa Monica (14th at Olympic). It's the best - the carnitas are fantastic! Mon Dec 04 19:48:17 -0800 2006 2066084 57617 SChalfant 2 2636732 I second the call for Tacos Por Favor in SaMo. Carne Asada or Carnitas burrito - either or - WITHOUT RICE. WIthout the filler, they hit you with a little extra meaty goodness. Grab some extra red salsa and you're so good to go, you won't know what to do with yourself ;) Wed Jun 06 16:49:07 -0700 2007 2069083 48632 rawkreative 3 2841289 I prefer my burrito with rice but second the Tacos Por Favor suggestion nonetheless. I actually think the best filling there is the chorizo, and I always order the black beans as the pintos tend to be a little mushy. PS: The OP has already been to Tacos Por Favor...d'oh! Mon Aug 13 12:45:45 -0700 2007 2636732 18466 a_and_w 1 2069201 I dream about and have serious cravings for the Al Pastor burrito at the food counter in the market on the corner of Hammond & Summit in Pasadena. I always add the nopales when he has it. Also, I get the red sauce (extra red sauce and then some on the side as well). Yes, my mouth is currently watering! See link below which also links my original post. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/316874?query=wildswede&user_name= Mon Dec 04 20:21:15 -0800 2006 2066084 12400 WildSwede 1 2069269 I bet Birrieria La Barca in El Monte has a great goat burrito. I had the goat meat this weekend there and it was fabulous. Mon Dec 04 20:39:20 -0800 2006 2066084 17675 Clare K 1 2069332 You mention Lares, The Talpa, & Tacos por Favor. Not sure which burritos you've had there, but if you have not tried any of the following, I highly recommend them. Lares - Manny Lane Pork Burrito - by far, the best chile verde burrito I've had. The Talpa - Spicy Pork in Tomatillo Sauce Burrito (Be sure to get it wet with more spicy tomatillo sauce on top. Great, but spicy) Tacos por Favor - it's hard to beat a carne asada burrito with guac and no rice - about as good as any non-wet burrito I've had. Goes great with their hot salsa roja. My ten cents... Moose Mon Dec 04 20:55:29 -0800 2006 2066084 16032 Moose 1 2073873 Kate Mantelini's had filet mignon burritos on the menu recently. Liked it so much we went home and started making filet mignon quesadillas. Wed Dec 06 02:04:29 -0800 2006 2066084 38483 DonataGuerra 1 2074387 Nice memory. Except for truly outstanding meals, I can't remember the last 20 meals I've had, much less the last 20 burritos. Anyway, my favorite burrito is the carnitas burrito at Dos Burritos on Hollywood just west of Vine. I also like the carne asada burrito there. The Supermex burrito at Paco's is also an old favorite. Not because it's particularly authentic or anything like that. Rather, it's just an old taste that reminds me of an old time. I want one right now. Wed Dec 06 06:52:48 -0800 2006 2066084 13464 lil mikey 2 2151618 I am sooo glad to find out Dos Burritos still exists! My husband & I used to go to it when it was next to the Frolic Room, & were so bummed when it was gone...We're going for some asada tacos ASAP!

And I love La Paz, although I mostly eat the salvadorean breakfast there. The chocolate con leche is superb. I'll have to try that burrito.

It's a small joint. Their Al Pastor tacos are to die for! Only a buck each. Ask for some grilled onions and jalepenos; sometimes they forget to give you some. Try to make your trip there AT NIGHT, when they're making the tacos outside. 7956 Vineland Ave Sun Valley, CA Phone: (818) 759-0721 Marielas Taco is also a good place for carne asada tacos. 3662 1/2 W 3rd St Los Angeles, CA Phone: (213) 381-7356 *I know you mentioned "burritos", but these places are worth checking out.

The place is wedged between a Cheesecake Factory and a Wockano -- looks completely out of place in that stretch of Old Town Pasadena. Good stuff - love their green chili salsa.

Thu Jan 11 02:21:26 -0800 2007 2160770 20545 yclops 1 2174900 My friend Vampiro, the wrestler from Guadalajara, swears by CANCUN at the Stater Bros shopping center at Golden West and Warner in Huntington Beach. And so do I! He says it's more Mexican than the places in his hometown. Their shrimp burrito is simply unreal. Prices are dirt cheap. Beside all the pork/beef/fried fish, they also make a mean Cajun pan fried fish that I order as a burrito. Their breakfast burrito-which is HUGE-is $2 Wed Jan 10 22:07:55 -0800 2007 2066084 51539 BobBarnett 1 2174944 Grand Central Market in Downtown has a place called Tacos Tomas. I kid you not, they have a burrito when weighed, weighs anywhere from 1/12 to 2 lbs on a produce scale for 4 bucks. And it tastes great! You'll just be 1 1/2 to 2 lbs heavier if you finish it.

Thu May 17 09:34:38 -0700 2007 2175427 10134 David Kahn 2 2578285 One thing to note... the regular Hollenbeck is sometimes hit and miss... but the Chicken Hollenbeck is always DEAD on... http://members.aol.com/pmgon/Chowhound/DaLegend.jpg Thu May 17 11:30:48 -0700 2007 2175427 10659 Dommy 1 2176400 Not really in your neck of the woods but I love the Chile Verde burrito at El Taco on Rosemead Blvd (just south of Huntington/North Woods Inn/Trader Joe's). It's just a little drive thru place but they make fantastic verde with a good bit of heat to it. Their taquitos are good too. Everytime I venture over I expect to see it gone as it's a big lot and they don't seem to do a ton of business (at least not compared to In n Out or McDonald's). I'd love it if more people gave it a try and kept them going. Thu Jan 11 06:44:46 -0800 2007 2066084 17540 RoxyGrl 1 2176426 The carnitas burrito at Cactus on Vine - $3.50 for a solid meal.

Thu Jan 11 19:20:30 -0800 2007 2176426 66087 gonoles84 1 2178718 We love the scallop burritos at Senor Fish (South Pasadena, LA, Duarte and Eagle Rock are their locations) Thu Jan 11 21:00:14 -0800 2007 2066084 11822 Michelle 1 2183777 Just wanted to report on Dos Burritos on Hollywood just west of Vine (south side of the street) Went there last night based on a few recs on the board. The pickled carrots and chiles were good, beans and rice were good, sauces were good, but...it feels like some love was put into this place at some point, but the couple knuckleheads that were working the joint last night were letting things slide. The carnitas were dry and a little sketchy. Tasted like old meat. Really, the sauces, rice and beans were what made it pretty decent. These guys were also switching back and forth to assembling and handling money the entire time I was there without washing their hands once. I'm pretty lax on health standards but I was grossed out by the time I left. Maybe it was the constant stream of gabachos walking in asking for vegetarian burritos, hold the salsa, that left these guys discouraged. Sat Jan 13 01:05:33 -0800 2007 2066084 11239 fooddude37 2 2183812 I had a similar experience at Dos Burritos. I wanted it to be good, some aspects were, but ultimately, I don't desire to ever go back. Sat Jan 13 01:20:15 -0800 2007 2183777 10808 BearCity 3 2576699 DUDE, AL & BEAS IN ELA/BOYLE HEIGHTS.

Thu May 17 08:11:11 -0700 2007 2576845 99017 Pakkai 2 2577845 I grew up in East LA area too but don't think the Hollenbeck is all that. The oversized novelty is fun at first, but way too many ingredients going on, it gets goopy, and sometimes too much is just too much. Thu May 17 09:44:31 -0700 2007 2576845 14558 Ernie 1 2583012 Since you mention Sharkey's, Baja Fresh and Poquito Mas, and no one else has mentioned it, may I suggest you try Chipotle? I think, like the others, it is a small chain and the one I'm familliar with is in Woodland Hills on the NE corner of Topanga and Ventura Fri May 18 17:32:33 -0700 2007 2066084 91496 robwein 2 2583614 El Tepayac in Boyle Heights (Evergreen north of Cesar Chavez); Al and Beas also in Boyle Heights (1st St east of the 5 Frwy); and Lupe's in East Los Angeles (3rd St east of the 710 Frwy just passed King Taco) Sat May 19 01:36:41 -0700 2007 2583012 99691 code7outlaw 2 2584999 Chipotle is not a "small" chain by any means... over 600 sites around the country and growing fast... formerly owned by McDonalds. Good, but not worthy of comparison with a lot of the others mentioned here. Sat May 19 17:34:58 -0700 2007 2583012 63279 tibizzers 1 2630197 Have you tried Chipotle? Its a chain but its really fresh and clean food. I actually like the tacos because then you can mix and match the different meats. I like the carnitas and the chicken.. The guacamole is really good with their lime and salt tortilla chips. Check and see if there is one in your area.. Mon Jun 04 21:18:04 -0700 2007 2066084 88393 taco 1 2630848 Boca del Rio in La Puente. Go there. Now. Some of the BEST food I've enjoyed over the years and still exactly like it was twenty or thirty years ago. They use cabbage instead of lettuce on tacos and burritos, the salsas rock and the asada is perfection in meat. Oh yeah, they also use sour cream and guac. Oh, I may have to drive there now. Tue Jun 05 07:27:05 -0700 2007 2066084 88192 holy chow 1 2633705 Try the "wet" burrito at El Sombero in Hermosa Beach (Artesia & Sepulveda Blvd.), it's awesome, homemade, and as big as your head! Tue Jun 05 21:07:44 -0700 2007 2066084 102247 kealoha 1 2633812 I love the all machaca burrito at El Tepyac, also great guacamole No one's mentioned the fish and shrimp burritos at Senor Fish. I like the fried shrimp burrito's, large shrimp, with rice only at Senor Fish. They also have good care asada. Tue Jun 05 21:53:02 -0700 2007 2066084 62097 paprkutr 1 2836216 What's up scoot? I have two places for you to go and try. 1) El Locos is located in a little shopping center at the corner of Atlantim Blvd and 3rd St. in East Los Angeles. Order a combination burrito with extra cheese. This burrito is a combination of chili verde and chile colorado, beans and cheese. This burrito is big and can be messy if you are not a professional! I suggest chili rojo to go with you burrito. 2) King Torta is located in El Sereno on Valley Blvd. It is about a half a mile west of where the North bound 710 fwy ends on Valley Blvd at the Alhambra, El Sereno border. Order their carne asada burrito and you will not be disapointed. This burrito is also huge and has the potential of becomming a mess, but a burrito eating professional will be able to keep it together and undercontrol. The burrtio carries carne asade, beans, cheese, letuce, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa verde or rojo. I recomment the salsa rojo because it is spicier and has more flavor. I hope you try out these places.

Their food is much better than the Baja Fresh/La Salsa group that they generally get lumped into. I think our tastes are pretty similar, and while as you point out there are lots of decent burritos in this town, great ones are truly hard to find. Only place I can think of that you're missing is Señor Fish. I like the one on 1st and Alameda. Fantastic, especially the fish. I'll try to think of another.
