From smoky birria to stuffed-to-the-max burritos, Burlington’s taco scene is bringing the heat — and we’re here for it.
There’s nothing quite like a good taco. Or a fat, cheesy burrito. Whether you're craving authentic Mexican street food, Cali-style wraps, or fusion-packed bites, Burlington has you covered. We've rounded up the best local spots to get your taco and burrito fix — because let’s be honest, one is never enough.
1. Burro
It’s impossible to talk tacos in Burlington without starting with Burro. This downtown hotspot is known for its wildly creative tacos (hello, Korean fried chicken and jerk pork), margarita flights, and effortlessly cool vibes. The patio buzzes all summer long, and their Taco Tuesday is a local ritual.
Must-Try: Baja fish taco, roasted cauliflower, brisket burrito
Vibe: Trendy, lively, perfect for a night out
2. Quesada Burritos & Tacos
Don’t sleep on the fast-casual heroes. Quesada may be a chain, but their Appleby Line and Fairview Street locations are beloved for customizable burritos, fresh toppings, and spicy salsas. It’s quick, consistent, and always satisfying.
Must-Try: Ghost pepper burrito, spicy chicken tacos
Vibe: Grab-and-go or casual lunch break
3. Familia Fine Foods
Not strictly a taco joint, but Familia Fine Foods knows how to deliver flavour. This Colombian-run gem in Burlington serves Latin comfort food with heart, including house-made tacos and loaded burrito bowls that hit the spot.
Must-Try: Chicken tacos, beef burrito bowl
Vibe: Cozy, authentic, family-run charm
4. The Coop Wicked Chicken
You wouldn’t expect it, but The Coop has a taco game worth talking about. While best known for wings and fried chicken, their taco menu (especially the Nashville hot chicken taco) is a spicy, crispy surprise.
Must-Try: Nashville chicken tacos
Vibe: Loud, fun, and full of personality
5. Guac Mexi Grill
