There are, however, a number of often overlooked burrito purveyors, who boast their own local followings addicted to these bundles of joy, overstuffed with seasoned meats, fresh vegetables, salsas and sauces.

This burrito joint on Wilson is in no way affiliated with the popular west coast burger chain, but it certainly has its own cult following. This indie outfit does massive burritos packed with a choice of seasoned meats like mango chicken, steak or halibut with fresh cut veggies, beans, gauc and salsa, hot sauce and sour cream.

Of the many delicious dishes on the menu at this Mexican kitchen, the burritos ($7.85-$8.95) are a house favourite. The establishment on Yonge near Wellesley fills burritos with a choice of beef, chicken, pork or veg that come wrapped in a flour tortilla with rice, beans, cheese and sour cream and classic fixin's like roasted corn, salsa, and fresh vegetables.

New York Subway
Don't be deterred by its grubby appearance or the deceiving name that suggests its a sandwich shop - the burritos ($3.50-$11) are without a doubt the real gem on this menu. The potato burrito is inexplicably delicious, it comes dressed with lettuce, tomato and what I think is ketchup.
