We made the most delicious burgers some time ago, and we were also inspired to whip up the most delicious ultimate Chicken burrito. In preparation for this, we decided to carry out some hands-on research into the subject to pick up some ideas.
We hit the streets of London to find the best burrito in London…
1. Tortilla Soho
Step into Tortilla Soho, and BAM! The amazing smells of authentic Mexican food will hit you, making your mouth water instantly. They make everything from scratch using fresh, top-quality ingredients, and you can customise your order however you like. Meat lovers, listen up! Their massive burrito is a must-try.

Don’t forget to try their homemade salsas – they’re the perfect match for the food. Besides their burritos, Tortilla Soho also has salad bowls, tortilla chips, tacos, and more. Head over there today and experience the flavours that will transport you straight to the streets of Mexico.
2. Chilango
Another trendy burrito joint frequented by city workers looking for a nice spicy lunchtime treat. The Chilango style was inspired by a trip to the US made by the founders to discover the best burrito.
To keep things fair, we went chicken again. Keeping things classic, you can also go for beef steak, pork or veggie. The chicken was tender and juicy, served with both pinto and black beans, peppers, onion, rice, salsa and sour cream. The filling was moist and tasty, but (although we appreciate the value for money) a little over-filled for our liking, making it tricky to eat without getting messy. But we realise many people will see that as a reason to choose this over the others.
3. Daddy Donkey Mexican Grill
Craving authentic Mexican flavours? Look no further than Daddy Donkey Mexican Grill! This hidden gem on Leather Lane has been serving up epic burritos for over a decade. Trust us, they’re the best in town! Their menu is filled with burrito goodness, from classic fillings to unique sides like guacamole, chips, and salsa. And the best part? They’re open for lunch, so you can get your Mexican fix during your break!
So if you’re looking for a casual and delicious lunchtime spot, Daddy Donkey Mexican Grill is the place to be. Head over to their website for more info and to start planning your next burrito feast. The salsas served alongside the burrito were excellent, as well as a delicious pickled jalapenos. Overall, a great burrito that we’ll certainly remember when it comes to making our own. We couldn’t resist a taste of their loaded nachos, which were also top-notch.
4. Burrito Bros
Next on the list was Clerkenwell’s Burrito Bros. This was probably the least impressive burrito we tasted on our travels, to be honest.
We appreciated the choice of beans and rice, which were both pretty tasty. However, the chicken was pretty bland and dry, something we’ll be working hard to avoid when it comes to making our own. They offer the standard options of chicken, Mexican pork, beef or veggie.
5. Chipotle Mexican Grill
Our last port of call to discover the best burrito in London is Chipotle Mexican Grill. We were very happy with our burrito here. Their burritos are moist, well-packed and tasty, we left full and happy. You can also sink your teeth in their nutritional lifestyle dish, suitable for all vegans and vegetarians. No matter where you’re going, Lifestyle Bowls can help you get there. You can also get salad bowls as a delicious side!
So that brings us to the end of our mission to taste the best burrito in London. We’ll be looking to take what we’ve learnt and come up with an awesome chicken burrito recipe for you to try at home using Gran Luchito. Please feel free to comment below and let us know your favourite burrito and any top tips we should bear in mind.
