These Are The Absolute Best Burritos In Every US State

When it comes to the perfect food, pizza is definitely high on the list. Burritos are up there, too: they're endlessly versatile, there's an ideal one for everyone, and you'll never get bored. Making them at home is always a win, but have you ever thought that burritos just taste better at a restaurant?

If you have, you're not alone. Restaurants have the advantages of ultra-fresh ingredients, often use house-made tortillas, and the professionals have a lot more experience folding and wrapping them, so they stay together perfectly. It's a process that's as close to magic as we'll get in this decidedly un-magical world of ours, and that brings us to the question of who's serving up the best of the best?

We wanted to take a look at some of the best burritos in every state, so we headed out to forums like Reddit to see what places were recommended and raved about, and we also checked out travel sites to see what places had visitors and locals alike going back. In some cases, we found specific burritos. In other cases, we found restaurants that are serving up must-try burritos made better by the fact that they're presenting a ton of options for building your own perfect meal. We took into consideration things like creativity in proteins and ingredient options, a commitment to freshness, and using scratch-made tortillas, putting together this list of the very best burritos out there — some of which will definitely inspire your next homemade creation.

Alabama's Dos Hermanos food truck is serving up some seriously outstanding tacos, but we're here to talk burritos. It's getting high praise for those, too, with customers regularly calling out the lengua, carne asada, steak, and veggie burritos as some of the best they've ever had. The sauce is spicy, the fresh lime adds an extra dash of deliciousness, just don't forget to bring cash. You're not going to want to walk away empty-handed, and don't worry, there are options for vegetarians, too.

El Green-Go's mission statement includes serving up food that isn't just fast and filling, but that reminds customers that meals can be an emotionally fulfilling experience.

Meat that's smoked with locally sourced woods makes for flavorful, perfectly textured bites that keep customers coming back.

The El Padre Burrito at Seis Kitchen is technically a breakfast burrito, but it's also the kind of burrito that makes you crave breakfast all day long. Eggs, potatoes, and cheese are joined by green chile, pico, and adobo steak, and fans are serious about this one — so much so that some reviewers say that they seriously considered just moving into the restaurant itself. It's no wonder — especially considering a mimosa made with agua fresca is the perfect accompaniment.

One of the best ways to serve skirt steak is in dishes like fajitas and stir-fries, because this meat is perfectly suited to being thinly sliced and ultra-tender.

Add in ultra-fresh ingredients and authentic soda flavors and you have a winning combination.

This build-your-own-burrito chain gets high praise for bringing some serious flavor to the plate, and honestly, with a name like El Diablo, you should know what you're in for. All the proteins have their fans, but it's the steak that gets consistent recommendations. It's lauded as always being tender and flavorful, and for anyone who believes that a burrito is made even better by the side of chips, salsa, and queso, this place doesn't disappoint. The short ribs are another popular option, and to be clear: those are serrano-marinated short ribs.

Shaka Tacoz is in Captain Cook and Kailua-Kona, and although it advertises itself as having outstanding fish tacos, customers say that the build-your-own burritos are pretty stellar, too. Choose from venison and grilled ono in addition to standard staples, pick a sauce from a list that goes from a mild red salsa to lava, then dig in. The pork burrito is a favorite, the mango salsa is next-level, and the fact that you can eat outside, chill with the native geckos, and watch the ocean? Well, that's just a bonus, isn't it?
