Let’s start with the winner. La Taqueria’s burrito was voted best burrito in America by FiveThirtyEight, which once yielded absolutely insane lines. While the buzz has died down, there’s still a wait but it’s also still just as good as it was before. Order the carne asada burrito, which is stuffed with delicious avocado. Then they slap the whole thing on the grill to get the outside just an extra bit crispy so the whole thing comes together perfectly. Just know these burritos are delicious, but rice-free. And even though the line is long, it’s easy to snag a seat once you’re in there.

This popular late-night spot has a killer super burrito that will soak up any late-night partying. This burrito is dripping with goodies: saucy beans, avocado, rice and cilantro. Just beware that the microphone sounds a little bit like boot camp. Its bright yellow walls (and lack of massive crowds) make a lot more enjoyable during the day, but it's just as easy to take it to go and munch on in Dolores Park.

Burritos here are thrown on the grill before being served. The chile relleno burrito is the go-to, stuffed with pico de gallo, rice, beans, and your choice of meat. If you’re for some reason, not the in mood for a burrito, their menu has plenty of other delicious options, like the Mexican salad, blue corn empanadas, green chile stew, or one of their many quinoa bowls (like we said, they have options). But the best part? Save your receipt and you’ll get a 15% discount down the street at Green Chile Pies for dessert.

Some favor El Farolito’s ratio of rice to beans. Some appreciate just the right amount of sour cream. Maybe it’s their super creamy avocado that’s tucked inside. Whatever it is, it is the perfect burrito to pack out and munch on at Dolores Park.

Another best burrito winner, this time deemed so by USA Today. The trick here in the salsa, which comes in four varietals. It makes for some super juicy, spilling over with tender meat, fresh tomatoes and some extra rice to soak it all up. It’s not open super late, but you can still have your late dinner burrito if you’d like.

The California burrito is the winner here with steak, fries, avocado, and sour cream. It’s It’s a no frills burrito joint—order at the counter, wait for your number and then nosh on down. Beware: it’s not open after the bars, but it makes for a great Dolores Park burrito!
