Olecito. I have been to Anna's more than I like to admit and I am not sure why I settled for so long...Anna's was good before I had better.

I have to say El Pelon. Do not get the Anna's hype.

I'm from Oklahoma, and I am a huge fan of Cactus Grill in East Boston. I think Anna's is kind of bland.

I'd def go with Cafe Burrito in Belmont as they have amazing flavored meats & chickens not to mention crazy creative salsa's such as this months pinapple & bacon. A must try!

Viva Burrito!! Anna's is overrated, I don't get it...

Boca Grande in Brighton or Brookline (Coolidge Corner).
Anna's is pretty much good at every location.
El Pelon's flavor profile is most reminiscent of food I ate in Mexico City.
Olecito is pretty good as well.
I have trouble thinking of Boloco as a "burrito" place (it's more of a "wrap").
Also - Burrito's are in no way "Mexican" food. Mexican inspired, yes - but hardly "authentico".
And finally Taco Loco rocks. Stopped there on a whim - but really if you're only looking for Burrito's you're short-changing yourself.

Anna's is wonderful once you figure out how to get the most out of their ingredients. Yes, you can have grilled veggies AND chile verde.

El Triumfo on E. Berkeley. Looks like a hole in the wall and close by the Pine Street Inn, but it's got amazing burritos at a great price and it's open late.
