Salt Lake City, UTBurritos

Lone Star Taqueria wraps a broad choice of fillings into hefty burritos from its beach shack styled Cottonwood Heights counter. Carne adovada, pollo asado and pork with green chile bring distinct seasoning rather than one interchangeable profile. House salsas add brightness and heat, and the drive through makes the long running local stop unusually convenient.

Red Iguana brings the depth of its Mexican kitchen to the burrito format, including a Sunrise Burrito built for breakfast and a wider menu of chile rich fillings. The original North Temple dining room stays busy, but the cooking remains detailed. Mole, slow cooked meats and carefully layered sauces give each tortilla wrapped plate its own identity.

Nico's Restaurant keeps burritos within a broad, family run Mexican menu on North Temple. The small dining room pairs straightforward service with freshly made salsa and warm tortilla chips. Tacos, enchiladas, tamales and other plates fill out the menu, making the burrito one route through the kitchen rather than a stand alone specialty. Rice and beans turn an order into a complete neighborhood meal.

Muertos Cantina carries forward the burrito focused menu of its former De Los Muertos identity in a larger Sugar House dining room. Burritos remain central to the compact Mexican menu, while tacos and fajitas broaden the table. The rebrand added a full bar and more seating without abandoning the straightforward cooking that built its neighborhood following.
