North Hollywood’s Burrito Bomba began life as a home for breakfast burritos on the go, but has since expanded into evening service with big, seriously cheesy steak burritos and more, like mac and cheese and fried chicken options.

North Hollywood’s premier gas station restaurant is Cilantro Mexican Grill, which quietly serves one of the best straightforward burritos anywhere. They’ve actually been doing so for years, relying on friendly service, quality ingredients, and the lure of folks pumping gas to win over the Valley.

This Valley favorite doesn't get a ton of love over the hill, but that's okay. Van Nuys and North Hollywood locals know about the power of their burrito plates, smothered in sauce and weighted by the pound, basically.

Part taco, part burrito, this El Monte option comes with perhaps the finest flour tortillas in all the land, and is stuffed with succulently stewed meat inside.

Tacos tu Madre has become a major player on the burrito scene, with multiple locations across Los Angeles. The place is known for putting tater tots inside its breakfast burritos, but don’t sleep on the all-day stuff, like the 36-hour marinated steak Korean BBQ burrito.

Fairfax coffee mainstay Cofax is known as a multi-trick pony. Not only do they keep the block caffeinated, they also serve one of the best modern breakfast burritos around, which are made all the more special thanks to smoked potatoes.

Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger have been keeping Los Angeles fed for decades. Now they’re back again in Santa Monica with all-day spot Socalo, and a menu that moves from chips and guacamole to burritos (breakfast, chicken, and more) and on to larger plates and cocktails in the evening.

This Boyle Heights bean and cheese burrito legend is perhaps the single most discussed burrito in all the land. Simple, rich, and delicious as ever, the place still has the hearts and stomachs of so many Angelenos, even after all these years.

El Gobernador burrito at El Barrio is absolutely tremendous, and one of the top burritos in the city. The burrito is stuffed with plump, fresh shrimp, grilled peppers, rice, beans, and caramelized onions before being wrapped in a large Sonoran flour tortilla that’s then grilled with cheese.

Moreno Valley's Sonora Grill is a singular burrito beast, offering an overclocked iteration that actually wraps bacon around the outside of the whole thing. It's not a wholly unique phenomenon as such things are seen in Mexico proper from time to time, but boy is it a gut-buster (in a good way).
