A number of chains and independent burrito bars have now established themselves in Dublin, offering their unique twist on the versatile Mexican classic.

Tolteca
The next entry on our list is Tolteca, a chain of burrito bars that has grown to 4 locations across Dublin since 2011. Our favourite location is the original burrito bar on Baggot Street in the south city centre, which first opened back in 2011. The small but well designed interior with large, communal tables is the perfect spot to devour one of their delicious burritos, if you can get a seat! During the lunchtime rush hour, the queue can often be out the door.
Tolteca’s menu includes the usual suspects of burritos, burrito bowls, and tacos, with a choice of steak, chicken, beef, and pork, as well as vegan and vegetarian offerings. They have a focus on serving only the highest quality produce, and hand-make their superb guacamole. No matter which of their locations you try, you’re guaranteed an excellent burrito.
Location: 38 Upper Baggot Street, Dublin

Boojum

Their success and popularity are down to the indisputable fact that they make some of the biggest and most delicious burritos in Dublin, offering great value for money and excellent quality food.

Pablo Picante
Last but by no means least on our list is the Pablo Picante chain of burrito bars. Out of their 4 locations across Dublin, our favourite is the burrito bar and torta house on Clarendon Market, close to the busy shopping area of Grafton Street.
Unlike the other burrito bars on the list, Pablo Picante offer several fully-formed burrito options to choose from, rather than having customers pick out individual ingredients from a line. However, customers can choose to tailor their chosen burrito to suit their needs. Our favourite touch in their burrito-making process is that all burritos are lightly grilled once wrapped, resulting in a warm and ever so slightly crunchy exterior.
In addition to their mouth-watering burritos, Pablo Picante also offer quesadillas, paleo boxes in all locations and tortas (Mexican-style sandwiches) in their Clarendon Market location.
