Dallas–Fort Worth, TXBurritos

This East Dallas counter on Haskell Avenue draws morning crowds for oversized breakfast burritos. The foil-wrapped Zack Attack packs bacon, potato, egg, refried beans, and jalapenos into a griddled 10-inch flour tortilla and is worth the roughly 20-minute wait, while the 12-inch Super burrito goes heavy on picadillo. There is barely room to sit, so most people take it to go.

This Oak Cliff taqueria on Jefferson Boulevard runs on copper-pot carnitas and slow-cooked barbacoa. Burritos come stuffed with carnitas, cochinita pibil, birria, barbacoa, or al pastor, and the fillings are strong enough that regulars order the same proteins across tacos, tortas, and burritos on one visit. The Observer counts it among the area's standouts.

A family-run DFW taqueria chain that grew from a Harry Hines Boulevard taco operation.

This family-run counter on Sharp Street in Northwest Dallas earned Dallas Observer's 2024 award for breakfast burritos, described as the ultimate bang-for-your-buck breakfast.

A Vietnamese-Mexican spot on Preston Oak Road that wraps pho-inspired fillings, rice noodles, bean sprouts, fresh herbs, and jalapenos into a burrito instead of a bowl. It is one of the few places in DFW building a burrito around Vietnamese flavors rather than a standard Tex-Mex filling, and it has become a cult pick among burrito completists.
