Rooftop Shots Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hello all! I stopped buying "STEAK" burritos because TOO many places use real cheap grade grissly steak. On the southwest side (LaGrange, Orland, Palos, Oak Lawn, Hickory Hills, etc, does anyone know where to get a GOOD sized steak burrito with REAL Good quality meat that you can just eat, swallow. and enjoy without dealing with all of the chewy grissly garbage. El Farol in Summit has the biggest extra meat steak burrito that I've ever seen, but their steak quality is horrible. I keep trying new places, but the same disappointing results. Does anyone have any worthwhile recommendations that are pretty reliable, whether you, or someone that you know has had one of them in any of the areas listed above, or within some other nearby vicinities?? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Mark Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I don't know if you're thinking fast food only, but I've heard the Rick Bayless restaurants are very good Mexican cuisine. http://www.rickbayless.com/restaurants/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I like Los Comales on Harlem and (I believe) 73rd. Good flavor and not gristly. Their fajita platter is the s*** as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Taco Burrito King has always been a go-to spot for me, and it looks like they are starting to expand with locations on the South Side & suburbs. A location in Alsip & another one coming soon to 56th & Harlem, not sure how close that all is to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooftop Shots Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks guys, I wrote dwon the suggestions and I'll give em a shot. Location-wise....they are all within decent range. Pretty much anywhere in the southwest suburbs is what I had in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Honestly, Zapatista has my favorite steak last I checked, but im sure thats a little fancier than you were looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Best steak burrito...and I have had plenty throughout Chicagoland is The Mexico Steakhouse in Bridgeport. You wouldnt think this neighborhood would have the best one but it is. http://chicago.metromix.com/restaurants/st.../139574/content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topo is my favorite restaurant in the city. Fantastic mexican food but they certainly dont have burritos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic mexican food but they certainly dont have burritos! Agreed. It's ridiculous. But reservations are always like 3 months out. However, you can still get good food at lunch there.
