A burrito is kind of like a blank canvas that you can paint any way you like. Endlessly customizable, you can fill your tortilla with whatever floats your boat – from the meat options and the other fillings, to the sauces and sides that come with it. That’s what makes a burrito so special. Originally from Mexico, the burrito has taken a life of its own, influenced by other cultures and places. But, however many forms it takes, one thing’s for sure—a burrito always delivers deliciousness.

From classic Mexican burritos to Pinoy-inspired twists, here are five restaurants serving the best burritos in the metro:

1. Lagrima

Lagrima brings the vibrant taste of Los Angeles-style Mexican cuisine to Manila. Famous for their tacos, their burritos (dubbed “hunger destroyers”) also promise authentic Mexi-Cali flavors. Choose from breakfast, classic, or plated options, all guaranteed to delight
Locations: San Juan, Makati, Quezon City

2. Stuff’d

True to its name, Stuff’d offers large, hearty burritos filled generously with delicious ingredients. Originating from Singapore, their burritos combine Turkish-Mexican influences and fresh produce. Fully customizable, they promise to leave you satisfyingly stuffed.

3. The Bad Burritos

“Malaki at masarap” is the tagline for this Taft Avenue favorite. Generously packed and full of flavor, their burritos won’t disappoint. You can enjoy signature classic Mexican-inspired burritos, as well as a more unique option, the Burgerrito, a California-style burrito filled with double quarter pounder patties—a meat lover’s delight! If you’re looking for something more local, they also have Pinoy-style breakfast burritos made with eggs of your choice (scrambled or sunny side up).
Location: Malate

4. El Chupacabra

Though renowned for street tacos, Makati staple El Chupacabra also serves killer burritos. Choose between Mexican style with rice or San Diego style with French fries. For added indulgence, opt for the “wet” burrito smothered in cheese and sauce.
Location: Makati

5. Army Navy

Army Navy offers no-fuss, casual burritos ideal for a quick, satisfying meal. Their American-Mexican style burritos always hit the spot when you're looking for something filling and delicious in a hurry. My personal favorite is their P.I. Burrito, featuring savory adobo flakes and egg. Vegan options are also available.

Whether craving traditional beef burritos filled with rice, beans, and guacamole or adventurous versions with burgers and fries, these five spots promise flavorful, satisfying burritos. Just be sure you’ve saved room for these delicious, filling meals.
