If you ever get a chance, there was a very literally hole in the wall in Kauai, I think it was called Mama's red hot burritos or something like that. oh my lord, the taste of that burrito haunted me for weeks after coming back to mainland. I would go back there JUST for that burrito.

Illegal Pete's is good (the beer selection is unbeatable for a burrito joint), but having been a lifelong connoisseur of all edible Mexican delights I'd easily say Qdoba is the best. Specifically, the Poblano Pesto Chicken burrito with a good bottle of cholula sauce. Chain or not, that is one fine burrito.

The King Burrito at Rodalfos in Sierra Vista, AZ is by far the best, and you've got to have some of their green Salsa.

I've only seen them around central Florida, but Tijuana Flats makes a pretty good burrito.

Holy crap, I've been there! Definitely one of the best places I've been, and I eat mexican almost every place I go.

Anybody else like Moe's? For a chain, their burritos are pretty tasty.

Manny's El Loco‎

OMG - No burrito I have ever had comes close to the "El Loco". 2nd place -the Machaca burrito, 3rd - Chorizo/egg

Been eating there since 1978

Haven't been there in 2 yrs (live on the east coast now - there is NO good mexican food here in Va!) and am having serious withdrawls. Thanks for reminding me what I'm missing

BTW 1/2 Mexican, family lives in Baja, etc, etc
